cage heaven bird cage It is critical to get the best bird cage for your bird. You want a great home for it and you do not want to get a cage that you do not feel like it is the best for your feathered friend. But how can you find such a cage? You may be a first time buyer and you are just getting your bird. Now, there are so many factors that you should consider before getting a bird cage, how do you know which one you are getting? Which brand is the best? You are going to need to find bird cages reviews from experts and users alike. If you do not read into their opinions, how do you know what you are going to get?

One alternative, of course, is to visit your local pet store and ask a customer representative about how to get one. Yet, some stores do not often offer enough selections that you can get. Some cages for too small, some cages are too big. Some cages do not even fit the requirements such as bar spacing and space. So what do you do? You might have to just go online and shop for what you need. The difficult part about this is that you cannot actually physically touch or feel the cage. Then how do you know you are getting the right one? Again, the solution it all comes down to is to read reviews from everyone else.

If you're wondering whether or not 304-grade stainless steel bird cages are bird-safe, the answer is definite "yes!" In fact, it's the only material used in bird cages these days that I feel 100% secure about putting my bird in.

With the growing amount of powder-coated brand names being found to have toxic levels of harmful components in them, the safest bet is to get a 304-grade stainless steel cage. Aside from powder-coated and stainless steel, the only other choice that I know of is bamboo or wood, and that makes me nervous to even think about putting my bird in a cage made of wood. Whenever I even think about cages made of wood I get concerned about my bird getting slivers, or even worse finding some sort of bacteria within the wood that could get him sick.

The only word of warning I would give about the safety of a 304-grade stainless bird cage, is to make sure you are buying a stainless steel cage that is constructed of genuine, authentic 304-grade stainless steel. If you buy a low price, generic stainless steel cage, that's supposedly made of 304-grade stainless steel, you never know whether or not it is genuine or not.

It's impossible to say whether a non-authentic 304-grade stainless steel cage is non-toxic to your bird without having it analyzed by a professional lab. In order to do so, you would have to send a lab a chunk of your cage, and this damaging the cage to have it analyzed. There's always the possibility that in order to save money the factory put filler components into the steelmixture to replace the expensive components of the genuine 304-grade mixture, and there's a good chance those replacement components are toxic to birds. Your best bet is to make sure you're buying from a reputable cage manufacturer that you can trust.

These furry creatures are usually playful and curious when they either have gotten used to their cage or comfortable with the company of their owners. Though they seem active at the pet shop when you first encounter them, they will tend to be timid when brought home. They may seem anti-social during the first few days often hiding and only coming out in the evenings. So don't try to teach your chinchilla tricks right after you bring your pet home. But once they grow familiar with their new environment, they eventually get back to their energetic ways. Again, the owner's patience is needed here to avoid upsetting them at the onset of training.

Research has also shown a close connection between your pet's behavioral pattern and health. Constant unease and agitation may cause neurotic behavior where they may constantly go around in circles, somersault disturbingly, bite their fur, or obsessively chew on whatever is in the cage. They can become sickly, thin and unusually worn-out. Consider the way you are while training them as it may possibly cause negative effects to the behavior and health of your pet. If your pet doesn't feel well, you need to forget about chinchilla tricks for a while and pay more attention to its health.

For concerned and careful pet owners, it just takes as much time for you to get used to your pet as it is for them to get used to you. A great deal of patience and understanding is needed for a healthy, safe, and happy relationship between you and your pet.

Are you a very busy person? Then again pets are not for person like you, different pets need different amount of your time, find out if you will be able to give them your time, you should not become a pet killer ultimately.

Are you allergic to pet fur? Some people will be allergic to pet fur or hair, if you are one among them then do not get pets, just like humans pets also shed hair which might effect your health. Once you get them you cannot blame them for your allergic nature neither you can kill them for causing allergy to you.

Is your job not a permanent one, you keep relocating every now and then? In this case also you are not a person who can keep pet, the reason is same as point number one.

Do you have very small kids or infants? If yes then wait till they grow up, infants or kids do not think before swallowing or licking something, pet hair or fur is not considered good for kids and infants. So if you are sure you can clearly isolate your kids from your pets, only then keep one.

Do you live in a unsafe house? Unsafe with respect to pets. Is your house exposed to prey animals like fox, snakes, vultures etc? then provide a very strong cage to your pets, if you cannot provide then, they are not for you. You don't have to feed your loved ones to these animals.

So these are some of the points to be kept in mind before getting pets. All the best. Always keep your pets safe and healthy. At least give away your pets to someone who can take care of those if you cannot take care of those.

It's generally a good idea to look up a few sugar glider photos to get a proper grasp of how they look. They're a little difficult to describe. Without a frame of reference in the form of a proper image, they might come off sounding like common rodents-which they are very, very far from. Gliders are adorable, with soulful eyes and clean, smooth coats of fur. Their wingflaps extend from their forepaws to their hindpaws, and allow them to glide. They're also quite acrobatic!

What sets gliders apart from most pets-exotic or otherwise-is their loyalty. Sugar gliders bond with their owners in a powerful way. In the wild, gliders form colonies with other gliders, and they become inseparable for their decade-long lifespan. What this translates to in domesticity is a very loyal pet that won't try to run away, and is far more comfortable in your shirt pocket than up a tree. Gliders like being around their owners, because their owners feel like family to them. They can even learn to get along with other pets of entirely different species!

And beyond that, sugar glider prices are fairly low. Gliders are exotic pets, and it's a little more expensive to feed them than it is, say, a cat or a dog, but their overall cost is infinitely lower. They require little to no veterinary care. They're quite hardy, and do to their exotic nature, they're entirely immune to the majority of the ailments that have grown strong afflicting dogs, cats and other creatures. They don't need to get shots for these, nor will they require medication or any sort of regular treatment-after the startup care for getting their cage and require accessories, they're quite affordable!

Chinchillas are most active at night. Being nocturnal animals, their days are spent sleeping so they need to be insulated from daytime noise and disturbances. Chinchillas should be approached quietly and calmly because they are sensitive to noise and stress. They can have different personalities, but typically chinchillas are social animals. They can be affectionate toward their owners and are mischievous and intelligent. A chinchilla's temperament is inbuilt, however. This means that your chinchilla's personality when you first get it is probably how it always will be. For example, a calm chinchilla will probably always be calm, and a mean one may stay mean. A new chinchilla might be shy or skittish when you first bring it home, but that doesn't mean it will always act like you are a threat. You can earn your chinchilla's trust by spending time with it, and eventually you might get it to come to you looking for a fond scratch behind the ear. Some chinchillas will let you hold them, but generally they do not like being held or cuddled. When you pick one up, be sure to use both hands. Use one hand to support its rear legs, and hold its front legs slightly higher with your other hand. It's a good idea to hold a chinchilla against your body because it makes them feel safer and more secure. They generally do not make good pets for people who are allergic to dust or fur, and because they do not like to be held or cuddled, they also do not always make good pets for children.

Chinchillas, like all rodents, need to regularly chew on objects to keep their teeth filed down and healthy. Chinchilla owners need to give their pets safe things to chew on so they don't gnaw on their food bowl or the bars of their cage. Although they don't vocalize all that often, they are able to produce an assortment of squeals, squeaks and peculiar-sounding barks. Most of the sounds chinchillas make are actually caused by running on their exercise wheel, chewing or rearranging the items in their cage.

These little animals make wonderful pets. The luxurious coats that chinchillas are known for make them soft when you pet them, and they are social animals. Chinchilla owners do need to spend some time caring for them, but they are a relatively easy pet to care for.

Give your chinchilla dust baths

Unlike most of God's creatures, chins don't take a normal bath in water. In fact, if they get wet it can be dangerous to their health! Because their fur is so think and they don't have any 'guard hairs' to keep the water out. If your chin gets wet, the water will get all the way into his fur and never dry, which creates a moist atmosphere that fungus can grow in (like ringworm).

The way chinchillas keep clean is rolling around in a very fine dust that penetrates their thick fur and absorbs excess oil and moisture from their skin and hair. It's important to buy specially made 'chinchilla dust bath' dust that replicates the fine volcanic rock dust that they use in the wild. Be wary of any dusts that are scented, as they can cause your little chin respiratory problems.

#3: Make sure your chin gets enough exercise

For a chinchilla to be emotional and physically healthy and happy, they need to get regular exercise. This means that you should give your chin time outside of his cage daily to run around and play. This can also be a fun and entertaining time for you as he jumps and climbs over the obstacles in the room. Be sure that you 'chilla proof' the room that he will be roaming in so he can't chew on wires or hurt himself in anyway.

You should also get an exercise wheel to put in his cage so he can get some exercise whenever he wants, without waiting for you to help. Making sure your chin gets plenty of running and playing time will ensure that he's happy, energetic and will live a long time.

cage heaven ferret cages If you are going to get a ferret you should know a little bit about them and how to take care of them. Taking care of ferrets, although not easy, is definitely a joy for ferret lovers. It is extremely important to prepare a schedule so that you may take care of them well. A well-planned schedule will allow for proper feeding, grooming and sanitary conditions for their living space.

The ferret is commonly misunderstood to be part of the rodent family when instead they are really belonging to the "Mustelid Family." Other members of the Mustelids are the weasel, badger, mink, otter and wolverine. Ferrets are ultradian animals, which means they are extremely active for short periods of time and then they require long periods of rest.

The basic daily care that you will need to give your ferret is crucial. Below is a list of items that need daily attention:

o Cleaning of the litter box at least once a day o Make time to play with your ferret: it may sound like a lot but you should let your ferret out of it's cage and play with them 2 to 4 hours a day. o Change their food and water daily: food should be of high quality that is high in protein and fat, but low in fiber. o Wash their litter boxes with a proper scrub down every week o Provide a cage large enough for exercise: your ferret should be kept in a cage unless it is supervised. Keep the cage in a temperature-controlled environment and out of direct sunlight. Temperature over 80 degrees can be harmful. Here are a few grooming tips for your ferret: o Nails: Ferrets nails grow very quickly and should be trimmed every couple of weeks. The time frame for their nails to grow could vary depending on your ferret. When clipping their nails, make sure that you do not clip to close to the visible red vein that you see on their nail. You need to leave a little space after the vein. Invest in a pair of special ferret clippers for their nails; this will make it easier to clip them properly. If it's your first time, make sure you talk to your vet to know the proper way to clip them. If you are not confident of clipping their nails then it is advised to get someone properly trained to do them for you. o Brushing: Your ferret needs regular brushing especially when they are in their shedding season. If you fail to brush your ferret you will soon find a ball of hair. Ferret brushes can be easily bought from pet stores and investing in one is a wise decision. o Tooth Brushing: Although brushing your ferret's teeth could be a bit difficult, you should try using a bit of cat toothpaste that is flavored. You will have to use your finger to brush their teeth. Brushing their teeth will help, however it is very difficult to do a perfect job. Give it a try and stay with it.

The hamster normally lives in desert conditions. This means that they sleep most of the day and will be awake most of the night time. They like warmer climates and really depend on their warmth. Keeping your hamster in a cage that is too close to a cooling area or an air conditioning vent may result in a cold for your hamster that they won't recover from.

Hamsters normally live in burrows when they are in the wild. This means that you need to give your hamster some cover area in order to permit them to feel safe when they are sleeping. Add some extra bedding materials in order that they can cover themselves up and get beneath the bedding.

Feed your hamster a good diet of hamster food that is rated for small rodents. Typically you can supplement it with vegetables and other items but pay attention to anything that may cause a loose stool in your hamster. When hamsters have loose stools it can cause great problems because they dehydrate very rapidly being so small.

Keep an ample supply of fresh water for your hamster and don't use a bowel to supply it. You need to use a hanging water bottle in order to assure that the bowl doesn't tip and wet your small friend.

If you pay attention to what your hamster is telling you and watch to be sure that you are offering him a healthy clean environment in which to live, your hamster will live to a ripe old age of about 2 to 3 years and you will have provided great dwarf hamster care.

The dwarf hamsters are very active creatures. They would just need a crack to skip away, they are very active. To care of that bit you need to ensure that the cage is strong and should regularly check it for the same as well. As in case they escape from the cage it would be literally impossible to trace them back. To keep their restlessness low you could have a small rolling wheel in the cage so that they could run as much as they want on the same.

If your really care for dwarf hamsters you have, you need to research and read a lot to know more. As only then you would be able to read what they are communicating to you with their actions. The common things like the need they have to chew etc would be prominent but there would be some other aspects of hamster needs that could be ignored due to inadequate information. Get online and browse across the internet about anything and every thing you could get hands on that could tell you better about your hamster.
