I got a new job but now I'm having to start looking at apartments. All the apartments I have looked at only allow 2 animals max. I asked about caged animals and they still consider them animals. I am so lost and confused. I want to take them but I don't want to get evicted if they find out I...

I had my rats out playing today and somehow one of them found a spot I had not looked for in the past. In the corner under my built-in desk there is an opening that leads to a space I'm guessing is in between the desk and the wall. She ran up there about 2 hours ago and I haven't been able to...

I am finally part of the chin tattoo club lol. Got this done today by a friend. Decided to do a chinchilla back foot instead of a front foot.

So, devil car finally did it in for me. It officially died on me on my 53 mile journey back home from work. I took it to the shop and it needed a new engine. Was going to cost me $4,000 for that. All after I just spent $1000 getting a tune-up on it in January... Of course! I was sick of the...

So, after trying to unsuccessfully raise a baby feeder mouse, I set my sights on rescuing a couple of critters from the snake menu. I am now the owner of 2 rats, and to stick with my cheese names, they are Fontina and Brie. Both are female and both have bonded so well with each other. Brie is...

So, yesterday, I went with my boyfriend to go get some food for his snake and monitor. He warned me not to look in the bag, but I did. I couldn't let him feed it to his lizard, so I kept him. He has been doing great so far. Been feeding puppy milk to him and he eats about ever hour and a...

My friend's parents breed thoroughbreds for racing. Their 2 year old, newly gelded male just came back from being broke and gelded. He is sweet and can be handled with some patience and work, but he bites, and bites hard. No sure how to break him of the habit. We have started working with...

So I'm a technician at a veterinary clinic that also sees exotics. Unfortunately, I work with a person who always has to be right and if you know you're right, they say something completely out of the park that proves that they are right and you can't win even though you are right. So today...

I went to go get dog food today and I always looks and see if they have any chinchillas. They haven't had any since I rescued Dylan, but they had the cage set up with "coming soon" signs in the cage like they were getting a shipment in. I went back today and the cage is completely empty. I...

All seems to be going right in my world lately. I had 2 job interviews today, both of which went very well. My last one I landed a working interview with this Saturday and if I get it, I will become an ICU Tech at an exotics hospital in Cave Creek! They also have one of only a handful of CT...

Lately I have been having some severe pain in my right jaw. Went to the dentist, had x-rays which showed I had all 4 wisdoms in, but that they weren't in a position to be causing any significant pain. The last 3 weeks have been excruciating. I went back to the dentist and got yet another x-ray...

Well yesterday, I received a large sum of money from my grandparents. I have been saving up for a new car since my current one is obviously out to kill me. I was cleaning the chinchilla cages and while I was cleaning my QC Mansion that I have split down the middle with a board of pine, I got...

Yesterday, after many arguments with my work, I was able to help out and do the job I went to school for. After our team meeting that morning, we had an emergency case come in. A senior dog came in with what appeared to be just a simple nose bleed. The owner said she was playing with the goat...

If anyone is in the Phoenix area, this weekend the Arizona Humane society is waiving their adoption fees for all animals. There is a chinchilla girl there I am planning on rescuing, but I cannot keep her as I have 4 males. I just don't want someone with no knowledge to get her thinking she is...

Does anyone have a Honeywell programmable digital thermostat? That's what I have, and somehow, a button has been pressed that puts it on some schedule and every morning I wake up to temps at 87*. My house is usually at 71* so it is definitely a shock when it happens. I just can't figure out...

I started a new job about 4 weeks ago. I was currently working, but I wanted to keep my education going, so I did an internship with a clinic here in Phoenix. Apparently they liked me, because after 6 weeks of interning there, they asked if I would like a job. I said sure and accepted and I...

I just wanted to ask (since many of you use it) what exactly is Blue Kote. Lately, we have been having dog fight victims come in looking purple due to owners self treating, then finding out they need actual medical treatment. You ask what they used on the wounds and they reply "I don't know...

I guess the other day I brought some bedding home that was apparently infested with gnats. They are buzzing around the room my chins are in, which is also my room, and they are becoming extremely annoying. I have since returned the bag (which still had gnats in it) in exchange for another bag...

Lately I have noticed all of my boys are getting really oily fur. I groom them then give them their bath and 2 days later they look just horrible. They are on the Purina Rabbit Chow Show formula and I dust them every other day now. We have had a bit more humidity lately due to monsoon season...

I went to the Phoenix Pet Expo this afternoon just to look around. I got to talking with a couple who makes hide boxes for ferrets. They are made out of wood and they can custom make them however you want them. I thought this was a pretty nifty idea and might buy one soon. Do you think the...
