Okay, well I’m 16 years old. I have epilepsy and have startle seizures so a loud pet isn’t a good choice at all. I am willing to spend a fair bit of money on the animal itself. I live in Victoria, so ferrets and rabbits are legal, but I’m looking for something different see?

I wondered if anyone could list (maybe) as many Pets that I could possibly keep (indoor or outdoor) andd some sources on how to care for it.

How about a veiled chameleon? Here is a care sheet with pictures:

Good luck

Just a curious question. A friend and I were discussing this and we found it would just be a neat thing to know. Did they even have pets? I’ve heard dogs were popular, but what kind? I’ve heard a lot of different answers, and research is too much of a pain for a ‘just to know’ question.

I don’t think they tended to keep Pets (not the way we think of them), though they would have had working animals, including dogs to guard and manage livestock, horses for transportation, oxen for pulling heavy loads, and cats for pest control. I’m sure there were a few people who had a particular fondness for an animal, but I doubt it was the norm. It would have been an extravagance.

I seem to think that my cats are bored because they sleep too much!
They seem sad, not very playful and they are only 1 year old.
What are some signs of happy pets or unhappy Pets?

Cats are supposed to sleep an average of 18 hours a day… that is perfectly normal… as long as they eat sleep and poop normally… you have a happy cat… some cats are just not that playful while others are bouncing off the wall… chill… they are cats doing what cats do best lol

I have a puppy from Adelaide being flown up to the pilbara today. He has a stopover in Perth for 30-35 minutes. What will happen to him there? Do they store the Pets in air-conditioning, are they fed? Looked over to make sure they are ok? Are they given water?

For a 35 minute stopover he would stay in the freight hanger
If he missed his connection then the airline would be required (we hope!) to send him to a kennel

We just moved into a beautiful Home and unfortunately our neighbor has about a half dozen cats and they seem to like our front yard as a litter box. (yuck!) We have three small children and no pets so having to pick up after someone elses Pets is not cool at all. Plus it’s unsanitary! What can use that is eco-friendly and safe. Thank you and all answers are welcomed!

Well, let’s see. A yard is tricky since it’s such a large area. I normally sprinkle raw, fresh pepper over the areas I don’t want any of my four cats (all indoor babies) getting into. They really don’t appreciate the sneezing attacks that ensue.

I don’t approve of all the options listed in this site, but it has some good suggestions that are eco-friendly.

I am planning to go to Pets at home tomorrow, But I need to know the closing time for the one in Oldham!!! PLEASE HELP ME!!!

6pm Mon – Wed – Fri
8pm Thurs & Sat
4pm Sun
Are the times they use all over the country.

Just to add, if you ever buy a rodent(s) from pets at Home I suggest going 7:30pm on Thursday or Saturday because they are more likely to be awake.

Also, even though I wasnt buying, when I went there at 7:30 my mum asked a guy wether their rats were male or female, and he got one out and let me play with her!

I have 3 cats and the youngest always comes running from wherever he is at in the house when he hears me turn on the fan and jumps right in the bed with me. It’s sooo cute. The others will eventually come and run across my head while I’m sleeping or wake me up in the morning, but my youngest definitely has them beat in this category with his antics.
What cute or annoying things do your Pets do when you are in the bed?

My 2 cats each sleep on either side of me in bed. The dogs would like to also but the cats won’t let them.

My cat George is very dysfunctional since he was taken from his mom at 4 weeks. (He’s now 7 years old). He kneads bread on me and puts his head on my shoulder and in the morning, gently taps my face until I wake up to give him his breakfast. He’s better than any alarm clock I’ve had. Trouble is, he wants his breakfast at 5AM!!

Just an FYI, I like animals. I think they should be treated fairly, although maybe not to the extent PETA would like. But I do not condone animal cruelty. On that same note, first world countries treat animals like royalty at times. There are plenty of pet owners who treat Pets like they are their own children and would spend easily 50+ bucks just so they’re dog could get a pampered bath and groom. Meanwhile, a starving third world child may struggles to get even a few cents worth of food with any nutritional value.

Yes, my dog is more important to me than any kids in the third world, and that is true for deveral very good reasons.

First of all those companies that advertise on TV pay their CEO’s 300K a year. Only about 1/4 of the money you send ever reaches that country. After it gets there it lines the pockets of the rich. Only a few pennies of that $50 will buy anything for the child.

Secondly, when you give money, you only make the situation worse. You take away their reason to work for themselves. I have seen that in the USA many times. My friends that grew up with everything can hardly function as adults. I had barely Food to eat when I grew up. I managed to work my way through college on my own.

Thirdly, the government’s of those countries are making a fortune off people, like you, sending money. They have a vested interest in keeping the children poor so that they can keep photographing them and suckering you into sending money. Keep in mind that for some of those countries their biggest export is photographs of starving children. The government officials have palaces and drive expensive cars thanks to people like yourself.

The following information will make you think twice about having iguanas as pets. Don’t get mislead into buying an iguana just because your friends own one. It is definitely not a easy work taking care of them nor having them around.

Here are a few points to note which will change your mind about having iguanas as pets.

1. Purchasing an iguana will burn a hole in your pocket.

Purchasing an iguana is just the starting and also the cheapest in the field of pet iguanas. In series with that you need to acquire a set of accessories and equipments which is required to take care of your iguana. You should also get a special cage installed with special lighting to maintain its body temperature.

You need to get some shelves for it top climb upon and also a timer to constantly have an eye upon the change in temperature. Much consideration should be given to its diet. Food which is plentiful in calcium and other vitamins are required to keep them healthy. Green leafy vegetables are preferred in this case.

These monetary problems may stand in your way of having a pet iguana.

2 Iguanas are quite costly to maintain.

Its size may deceive you to think it as a harmless silent pet. Even if they are very small they need to be given proper treatment and attention like other pets. They require much care in handling.

Their places should be kept clean by washing it regularly. If you want the iguana to be disciplined and manageable, you should tame it yourself.

In order to get your iguana trained early on, this should be followed daily. You should also catch them young as they become restless and difficult to tame as they grow.

3. Maintain your distance with iguanas.

Like dogs, cats or rabbits you cannot cuddle with your iguanas. You cannot even hold them on your lap. You can only hold them on your shoulders or in your arms. Overlooking this caution may pose a danger to your Health.

You should remember this especially during your first contact with your iguana as they will be untamed or else you might end up with a scratch or even a bite.

4. Iguanas are ungregarious.

Iguanas consider all other animals as enemies or dangerous predators waiting to kill them for a meal. So how much ever you try you can never build a harmonious relationship between the iguana and your other pets of the house.

Due to their size iguanas have a great danger of being squashed or stepped upon by other pets that are playing around it. This is one of the reasons why the iguanas prefer to remain in dark and quite corners which they think is safe.

5. Iguanas are to be kept out of small children’s reach.

Never even allow your child to get a thought of having an iguana as a pet. This is because reptiles require proper care while handling them and hence not suitable for children who can be careless on this part.

If you think your child is not mature enough to handle iguanas, better stick to safer pets such as the cats or dogs.

So, which information do you think will stop you from getting an pet iguana ?
