Beta Tank Rescue!

Okay, so maybe I'm not the best at using a schedule, but, since some people seem to like my blog, I can try my best at posting stuff. So, here it is: a new post.

So, recently I decided to clean my beta fish tank....... well, it turns out it needed to be cleaned WAY more than I thought. It had greenish blackish slime in it! I felt so bad about not noticing it through the algae covered plastic walls of the tank. I had been very lazy and forgetful about my beta, since thd guppy tank and pond were far more interesting.
so, feeling horrible about the poor fish, I cleaned the tank, got some new gravel, a nice shell, and started pampering my fish by giving it treats often. My fish, Ocean, seemed super happy, andi was happy too!

Gerbils and Hamsters Wild Vs. Captivity

Recently, I have noticed that we try so hard to replicate natural habitats when caring for reptiles and amphibians, we buy fake plants, rocks, wood to climb on, heaters, and crickets in order tk make their habitat similar to nature. But, for hamsters and gerbils, it's the opposite. Hamsters and gerbils do not have wheels, water bottles, blocks of wood, and plastic tubes in nature, but that is what we give them. They are also nowhere near as domesticated as dogs and cats, and are a lot more like wild gerbils.

I'm pretty sure you are wondering what a natural hamster and gerbil habitat is like. Here is a general idea of what it woild probably be like.
  
1. Sand or dirt to burrow in
2. Dry plant leaves and bark to chew on
3. Seeds and nuts to search for

Let me explain the importanceof theese things. Gerbils and hamsters have a lot of energy for a reason. They need to remain occupied, to use that energy. Running around in a large area to find things to chew on and add to their burrow of eat uses that energy (just make sure thegerbil can actually find those things). So does digging a burrow.

Instead, rodents will have so much energy in the average cage that they have no reason to use, that they will just dig randomly, thump their feet on the ground, run in a wheel, and chew on everything they can find.

Think about this now, how can you make your pet's habitat more natural to fulfill your pet's needs, instincts, and desires?

Theese are mostly idea and experience based, not everything I wrote is a proven fact. Some are just fact based ideas. I am not an expert.

Magellan's Snowy Adventure!

One day, it snowed, a lot. And this day was the day Magellan, the cat chose to go outside. Magellan is an inddoor cat, and is pretty crazy and weird. She always had looked outside through the window. But, that day she had gotten scared when wood was brought inside for the fireplace and ran out of the door, and nobody noticed. We just thought she was hiding. But, we searched for her inside all day. Of course, she wasn't there. I went to sleep, crying that night , but at 5:00, my mom woke me up and said she found the cat. I was so happy.we fed the cat and I hugged her. I'm so glad we found her. She was in the one place in my backyard, where she was safe from the wind and the snow. From, then on, she was still curious about the outside. Magellan sure is a crazy cat!
