Hamster - House, Feed, and Care

Hamsters can be excellent pets. My family and I have had many happy experiences with the exotic pet hamster.

How to feed, house, and care for the hamster.

Hamsters should be purchased between the ages of four and seven weeks of age. When the hamster is purchased young they are easier to tame and handle. Young children should be supervised 100% of the time when handling the hamster. The hamster could become afraid and bite the child or the child could accidentally drop the hamster injuring it. Hamsters are more inclined to bite than rats.

Exotic Pet Laws

I grow more concerned about the trend of the changes in exotic pet laws. I think you should too. These laws are taking yet more rights away from the citizen. It is usually the same people that call for less government. They create more. I am not referring to either political party as I belong to none. In all consciousness I cannot stand behind or proudly say I am a…..! Just fill in the blank, republican, democrat, etcetera. The current political parties dishonor our nation. They do not represent the people of the United States of America, they stand for the companies that seem to be running the country, and they stand for their own political agenda. They stand for reelections, for themselves or for their party. How can they possibly be fair about laws concerning exotic pets? Now that is off my chest I’ll continue. Yes, the Department of Wildlife or Department of Fish and Game, has a great deal to do with exotic pet laws, but don’t think for a minute they are not as corrupt as our other representatives are. They or fairly, many of them also seem to have a bug up their not so sunny place machismo (as far as I am concerned the female gender can have this affliction too.) An exotic pet does not necessarily equal a dangerous pet. What? If it were true we’d see these headlines! Stay tuned for the attack of the dwarf hamster! Mini lop rabbit wipes out apartment complex. Corn snake goes berserk hissing owner to…death by tickle? I don’t like making light of a serious matter, however some of the new rulings include non-dangerous animals. Our laws never made it out of the archaic epoch to allow ferrets in the state of California. Read the full article! Exotic Pet Laws

Pet Rock - Care Guide

Pet rocks were once a trendy pet, if your friend had one you had to have one too! Exotic pets seem to go in and out of style; evidently pet rocks are becoming popular again as people go retro. Pet rocks are popular exotic pets!

Hopefully people have learned their lesson. After the rocks were fashionable, the thrill was gone, pet rocks were released into the wild causing a serious overpopulation problem. When freed in a non-native habitat they can cause grave problems. They have been known to bite people’s toes when they least expect it. Read the entire article!

Exotic Pets Found in Dumpsters Still in Cages

A hedgehog found in a dumpster; cage and all. A rabbit tied to a tree, the skin had grown over its collar. How many thousands of innocents must suffer? Animals left starving, no food, no water, still stuck in their cages; abandoned when their people moved out. What would you do to stop it? You talk the talk, will you walk the walk?

I think about the song, the Eyes of an Angel when I think of Beth Randall. All the innocents that have been neglected, abused, and abandoned; the innocents Beth has saved. These animals would have suffered and died. Instead they found sanctuary with Beth. Read the full article.

Ferrets, Skunks, Raccoons and Bears – My Interests

From exotic pets to wildlife rehabilitation. What life experiences makes us the people we are today?

My interest in exotic pets began to include wildlife rehabilitation when I moved to Northern Minnesota. The first full day in my new home a Bald Eagle flew over my home and landed in a White Pine tree right next to the house. I saw it as a premonition.

Our first walk in the woods, miles from other humans, my children and I caught sight of a bear and her cubs.

This article will begin to share a vast array of experiences in my lifetime with exotic pets and wild animals. This will not be the complete story by a long shot but I thought it would be enjoyable occasionally to share some of the highlights of my life. Read the article at exoticpets.bellaonline.com
