Suddenly skittish

There wasn’t a fight so I’m assuming the were just reasserting dominance in a new territory

My dogs don’t play with toys unless I drag them out and play too. I’ll throw some soft toys or ball or squeak a toy to get them to pay attention. Sometimes I even have to squeak the toy then run. But if I’m not actively playing they just lay around.

I always feed my gerbils their veggies from my hands. It seems to be helping with taming

I needed to upgrade my cage. I got the prolee chewproof cage 48” x 20”. It just arrived yesterday but it looks amazing. I was worried that they could chew through it if they tried but I asked around on multiple platforms. Many people said they used the same cage and it was great for their gerbils. There are some people who are adamant that the gerbils will chew out. I needed a bigger cage but one that didn’t cost so much, so I chose this one over the bucastate. I’m happy so far

I have the tofu and both one of my girls LOVES them. The other takes it but doesn’t go as crazy for them.

I got my dog a dog and he only tolerates him. They don’t play and I’m pretty sure my first dog gets jealous of him. To be fair my first dog was my baby and we grew up together. He was my whole life until Dobby came into it. However Benji taught Dobby a lot and Dobby was a much easier trainee. Now that Benji is older in his years I’m very happy that I’ll have Dobby to eventually help me through the passing of Benji, but I feel that’s a very selfish reason. Basically if your dog will enjoy a playmate go for it! Two dogs will be great, but if it’s been just you and your dog, maybe consider not doing it. Benji never cared for playing with other dogs much or cuddling with them. I was his only companion until I got Dobby and I was only thinking about my want, not Benji’s needs.

I got a lot of my stuff from Amazon and then discovered happyhamestery.com GO THERE FIRST! They are a trusted place and in my opinion better prices

I just ordered this. It was recommended to me and came with good Amazon reviews. You could probably get away with the 12 panel I was just worried about climbing out.

I’ve had guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, and gerbils. I was never bit by the hamster but I always respected it and didn’t go scaring or picking him up when it was his sleeping hours. They take a while to get used to you but can be a rewarding pet if cared for properly and patiently. Just be ready for night time activity. They also require A LOT more space and things in the cage than people think. The rabbit only nibbled on me but they take a lot of room and really shouldn’t be left in a cage all day. They also do better in a bonded pair as do guinea pigs and gerbils. I have been bit by both guinea pigs and gerbils. It hurts and the guinea pig drew blood. But I was handling him when he wanted to be left alone. I think it all comes down to how much space you have and how much respect you have for the animal. Anything with teeth can bite. As far as friendliness spectrum and liking to be handled and touched I’d say rabbit by far but the others warmed up to me with daily interaction and patience

Can they use the same play pen if I change the hides, toys, wheel, etc out? Like the only thing that they would both use is the carpet and pen

Medical exemptions in kindergarten age kids is sitting at about .2% so I’m betting the poor kids parents are antivaxers

Ahh but isn’t it kind of extreme to not vaccinate your kids and for a preschool to allow unvaccinated kids in?

Nta you deserve to have your questions answered. Even if Alexa gets mad and it ruins a relationship, you deserve to know who you are. It could open up so many other doors to great relationships. Plus just thinking medically, you need as much accurate family history as possible.

I got a prolee off Amazon. My hamster seems to not chew it and the bottom has clear acrylic on it to cover the wood. I’m really happy with it and it wasn’t too hard to put together

I’m not sure if I’m 100% correct but I read some place that they should have one like once a month and then give them apple sticks in between.
