Hello everyone, been a long time since I was on! Anyway, was in a store today that sells reptiles (went in to get filters for the fish tank) and saw they had a young cham and just saw red. Asked to speak to the staff in charge (got a kid who normally deals with the plants) and i just lost it...

Ok, so we ended up going with a different breed of dog! OH wanted a malamute, but I really can't handle them so we decided to go with another. We ended up choosing this little girl, who we have called Piper. She is (allegedly) a collie terrier cross and 10 weeks old. Her and her brothers and...

Ok, this may sound like a silly question, but here goes - if your chameleon falls and hurts itself, will you see straight away, or are they similar to us where adrenaline can cover it up for a bit? We were cleaning out Hugo'd cage yesterday, and he refused to come out so we were having to do...

We put our name down for a rescue Malamute! We have been talking about getting one for years, and as we just want to race it for fun (no breeding or showing) we thought we would go down the rescue route! Landlord has approved a dog, so now its a case of putting new fencing up, and waiting! Very...

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...

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...

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?

Was working yesterday afternoon, and looked up to see Hugo choking violently. Couldn't do much but watch (if i had tried to grab him it would have freaked him out even more) and he then managed to spit out a locust. He seems ok, but I was wondering if there is anything I need to keep an eye out...

Ok, probably a stupid question/statement - I presume that chameleons can become overweight / obese, as can most animals? What does it look like? Does it start to show in the casque first (if you had a veiled for example), and how does the casque go?

Hi there, our cats went to the vets yesterday for their boosters, and had a check up at the same time. Lucie, my 9 year old moggie, has progressive retinal atrophy (PRA). We had thought that she had early onset dementia, but luckily it appears that that is not the case. It looks like her night...

Ok, just made my first online order for some feeders for Hugo. Based on this order, I may use them more regularly. Anyway, to my questions: I have just ordered him some butterworms to try. What do I gutload them with? The site I ordered from has many feeders - has anybody ever tried...

Went into Do-It-All / Payless yesterday, and they had a load of houseplants in. Loads of ficus' and umbrella plants, about 2ft high for £3.99 a plant. They also had larger ones, that ranged from 3-4ft that were £9.99. I don't know about other places round the country, but that seems quite cheap...

I have been reading on here lately all the stories that people have, and I am starting to wonder if I am not a 'cham person', or if I just have a miserable cham! I read all about Tiff with Lily, and now Amy, and how she has these chams who handle well, and she can take great pictures. And...

Hi All, at what age should I expect my cham Hugo (currently 37 weeks/8.5 months old) to start getting sexually mature? I have no intention of breeding him, but reading all the stuff you can on here I was led to believe I should start finding sperm plugs as he becomes sexually mature, and we...

So, who's going to go see the Half blood prince? Any Potter fans here?

Hi there, I have tried getting advice from a forum dedicated to fish but they haven't been much help, and it's really hard to find your way around it! We have a 190l corner tank, with jewel filter (came with the tank). It is a coldwater tank, in the corner of a sunny living room. Has two...

So, I was doing my usual weekly scrub of Hugo's cage, and as he wanted to come out we decided to put him in his 5.5ft ficus that will go into his new cage (when we get our bums in gear and build it!). We decided to take some pics, and as i thought he looked lovely in them, I thought I would share!

About one month ago, I noticed a small amount of bright red blood in Hugo’s poo. Rushed him straight to the vets, who said he looked healthy and sent it off to be tested. All was fine with it, so said it was where he had eaten a cricket that may have been a little large. I noticed this morning...

Just gone to clean out the waxworm tub. Must admit, last time i checked it, there were only cocoons in there, so haven't looked in there for a couple of weeks. Gone to just get the moths and chuck the rest of the stuff out - and they have been breeding. I am shocked! (Don't know why, it's...

We recently decided to change all of the plants in Hugo's cage (7 month old veiled) and filled it with a hibiscus, 3 x ficus, 2 x draceana's and a passion flower. They were new plants, so looked a bit 'bare' when we put them in. It is now 3 weeks later, ficus is fine, as are the dracaena's. The...
