It's hard, but you need to present yourself as rational rather than emotional in order to be taken seriously. Yelling at an employee or even a store manager will do nothing but alienate them and more than likely make them disregard what you say.
In my city we have both a humane society and...
If you have a UPS for your computer, try plugging your heat lamp in and seeing how long it will last. The beauty of them is they turn on automatically when the power goes off. But I really would love to see the sweater....
*blush* Thank you for the photo compliments! I shoot friends' pets at times and do enjoy it. I'll likely be doing another ""pets with Santa" shoot at a LPS. Last time we charged $5.00 for two 5x7 prints and the proceeds went to a local rescue.
I like shooting pets, love shooting bugs...
*bump*
Is there a monthly photo contest? Or is it in hold until the calendar voting is completed?
I've got the photo posting figured out... Now to find contests or challenges. :)
Best of luck to you and the little one. My corn snake was a stray I caught at work. Not knowing their histories make getting the started a bit more difficult.
My vet's advice to me was let him get settled into his new environment before bringing him in for a checkup. Barring any obvious...
Have they been checked for parasites? You may have to force feed, even "bug parts" would give him some nutrition and be easier to get into him than a full bug.
Do you have a kitchen scale or anything you can monitor his weight with? It may appear he's not eating, but if he's not losing weight..
I'm really enjoying this forum in the brief time I've been around. I typically pm a likely member a question because on many forums even after using the search function, you are flooded with both information and misinformation or when very new you don't know the best keywords to use to bring up...
I was pleasantly surprised when I decided to get my little veiled girl. I had been considering one, had been reading and then fell for a tiny girl at Petsmart. She had just come in and was in the display case. I was talking to an employee about chams and their care. She was surprisingly blunt...
My girl gets Kirkland, the Costco house brand. It's a decent food, and reasonably priced. I have the worlds laziest Border Collie who packs on weight faster than an elkhound.
She was on Orijen, but to keep her weight in check with a premium food, she got such a tiny portion. By downgrading...
I too have my fingers crossed for the little guy. They were on the list of animals I wanted before getting my guys. My LPS told me that while he could get them in, he would recommend against of as they are very difficult to get established.
Best of luck to your little one!
The cresties are about two weeks old now. The first decided to hatch the day she was moving. She gave it to me as it was easier to setup a tank in an established home, than amidst her chaos. I got the second and they were the only two to hatch early. The rest hatched after she was again setup...
Thanks! She's a doll :)
I've had good luck with my photos, the pics in my first posts are shot with either a Pentax K20 dslr or a $65 Panasonic Lumix point and shoot. It's difficult to tell the difference. I've found the camera is only a small part of it. Lighting is key. Even the most...
Do you have a veterinary college reasonably close to you? They may be more willing than a "normal" vet.
I have a cockatoo with P.D.D. , I was lucky enough to find a vet and develop a relationship where she does little extras that benefit him, for the purpose of learning more about the...
I am new to reptiles, having gotten a cornsnake earlier this summer. His past is unknown, he was found in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada, as a stray under a gentleman's front step. He has settled in quite nicely and is one if the friendliest snakes I've ever met. His name is Genghis Corn.
It was my...
