My male veiled hates me, and regularly goes for me if I overstep my mark. He hasn't changed in a year, so I doubt he ever will. Tis the nature of the beast!
Just in case anyone else has problems with this, i spoke to the shop i get them from today, and they seem to think its something to do with them being transported in cold weather, and it causing some long term problems. We will see if these latest ones get this!
This is what our local store that sells all the fish lights and UVB does. When we buy a new one, they take the old one and dispose of it for us. I presume it is done in an environmentally friendly way, but will check! :)
They are the same conditions I have kept them in since I started feeding locusts. They are kept in the kitchen, on top of the fridge. No heat source as such, kitchen is very warm, and the misting was literally a tiny bit of water on one leaf, so they had a small amount of water.
I have just...
Ok, I have just lost my whole batch of locusts (about 2 weeks worth) and am wondering if it is anything to do with their conditions? I bought them from the same place I always get them from.
They are kept in a plastic fish tank, with a netting top to allow ventilation and airflow. I am...
It was brilliant! We took loads of pictures but for some reason it won't let me upload most of them. The noise was immense, but you could see how excited the dogs got, especially when they were tied to the rigs and ready to go! I swear they had smiles on their faces when they were racing...
Me and the OH went to a sled dog rally over the weekend. We had never been to one, but have decided we would like to get a dog in the next year or so, and have settled on an Alaskan Malamute. We are doing all our research, meeting people who have them as pets, and also different breeders and...
Yeah, when he gets really angry, his stripes go quite yellow, and the spots go a dark olive green! Obviously he is shedding again, but got some nice colours on him I think. Just want to make sure he looks healthy!
Joe (the other half) took this today. They aren't great as they are through the glass (he gets aggressive otherwise), but it shows him puffed up etc. He is about a year old now. What do you think? He look healthy?
How fab would it be if Tommy and Hugo were related if he came from the same breeder as Lily? I would like to know what the shop owner does too. Would love to be able to get Hugo a little friendlier. :)
Yeah, he's been fine so far. The worst one was when we first got him, because he was so tiny and you heard the splat as he landed. We rushed him straight to the vets, as i thought he was having a brain haemorrhage as his eyes were swelling (i know now that he was cleaning them after getting dust...
Yup, Hugo is a master of this manoeuvre! Has done it countless times (first time was 5 miinutes after we got him, dropped staright to the floor - 4ft drop!). Usually I catch him, but this is why i don't handle him very often, becuase he will just let go and drop. Little bugger!!
