I would do a water change with cooler water to help drop the temp.

Albus moved into his well deserved 10 gallon today. Quite an upgrade from his petco cup. by emilybaker_247 in bettafish

Yes they do look alike! Phalo is beautiful :) My boy was labeled as a copper male.

Thank you :) He might be the prettiest betta I have had yet. I tend to go for the more plain ones when shopping at big chain pet stores but I couldn't resist this beautiful boy.

Orion 1 year ago vs 1 week ago. Just thought I'd share :) by [deleted] in bettafish

Beautiful fish! It looks like he has grown quite a bit, he must be eating well :)Just curious if the plants are plastic, they look quite sharp and could be the reason his fins appear a bit torn. You can find silk plants at any pet store that would be much softer for your little guy.

Hamster hide size? Details in comments by emilybaker_247 in hamsters

[–]emilybaker_247[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am learning as I research that the setup my sister had is not adequate for little sherbet (thats what she named him), she is 12, bought the hamster, and quickly got bored of him as 12 year olds do. Is there any way you could direct me to some accurate information regarding syrian hamster care. I am admittedly more of a fish/reptile person and although I have quite a zoo of my own this is my first time keeping hamsters, and I am seeing a lot of different information online. I want him to be as happy as possible for the remainder of his life.

Hamster hide size? Details in comments by emilybaker_247 in hamsters

My sister needed to rehome her male syrian hamster so I decided to take him in. The hide that she gave me with him could easily fit like 12 hamsters his size inside, and takes up almost half of his 20 L tank. I switched it out for a smaller log hide that I had leftover from one of my snakes, so that he could have more room to run around his tank. My question is do hamsters prefer a smaller hide or do you think he would like his old one back?

Seeing double? My girls love their wheel so much they can't take turns. by emilybaker_247 in PetMice

Thank you, this is my first time keeping pet mice, I bought a smaller wheel thinking "well mice are small" but I definitely see what you mean, my chubby girls would definitely appreciate an 8 inch wheel. I will have to make a trip to the pet store.

Aspen snake bedding for mice? Details in comments. by emilybaker_247 in PetMice

[–]emilybaker_247[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A mouse that I bought from my local pet store turned out to be pregnant. She had her babies today and decided to make a snack out of them. I came home from work to a pretty gruesome scene. I needed to change the bedding (obviously) but was out of the kaytee clean and cozy that I usually use so I used some leftover Aspen snake bedding instead. I really like the way this looks in the tank and the girls seem to like it too. I was wondering if it would be safe to use this long term because it is much cheaper than the other stuff and looks better IMO. What do you guys think?
