The “I Probably Shouldn’t Have Pets” Starter Pack

[schakerin]

Could someone tell me what’s wrong with meowmix?

[irljimmy]

seems that it’s made some cats sicker (puking uncontrollably) and has been infested with bugs often, also in general, i think it’s probably just low grade and can give cats problems (like purina for dogs)

[chill-moth]

What’s wrong with the bird cage? I could understand that it could be too small for a large bird like a parrot, but what about a canary?

[birdfightingbigotry]

Nope. That cage is far too small to be used as a home for any kind of bird. It’s acceptable as a travel cage for small birds, or as a sleeping only cage. But songbirds deserve to have room to move around and fly too.

[prettyfishies]

For Canaries and finches, it’s recommended they have at least a 3 foot cage!

[firephox]

Canaries are birds that need to fly. They were not meant to be domesticated and profited from as pets. They are highly active birds that will self harm from stress in such confined spaces. Canaries are delightful to have in groups, though they are fine on their own, but every 1 bird adds 3 cubic feet to the space needed. They need multiple perches and toys. These are examples of proper Canary or other small bird enclosures.

Meow Mix is a horrible brand of cat food, I used to feed it to my cats and they would just throw it back up. It’s so low quality that half of the ingredients aren’t even food items. The meat is all scrap by products from slaughterhouses like hooves, eyes, tails and fat because it’s cheap. Which is something they don’t list on the packaging to fool pet owners. I always used to find worms in my bags of Meow Mix. Beneful literally uses antifreeze in it’s food, which has lead to the deaths of thousands of dogs a year. From conditions such as internal bleeding, seizures and cancers. 

Rabbits shouldn’t be confined to a cage. (Especially a dog cage..?) Rabbits are curious creatures that need to jump, run, chew and play to be healthy. Keeping them locked in a cage 24/7 as a toy for your kids will make them sick or develop aggression from stress. Healthy rabbit lifespans are 10+ years. Rabbit cages should only be a place for your rabbit to use the litterbox and sleep after a long day of exercise and play. Also, never keep two rabbits together unless they are fixed. Rabbits are territorial and they will either fight or mate rapidly when intact. Up to 14 babies every month. This is the proper set up for a rabbit.

I’m cringing at that rainbow “my mommy got me a cute hamster” rodent cage. These are small creatures that need to run around and explore. They need to burrow and chew. This is the proper set up for a hamster or other small rodent. 

Betta fish get stressed from any confinement under 5 gallons. They are the worst pet for being sold to kids as “accessories” in small cubed tanks. When kept like that the fish will die a horribly stressed life within a year when they can live for 7 or more. They need calm filtration with many dark caves and soft plants. They are aggressive to other fish. These fish are so intelligent that they actually play with you, and they need mental stimulation to live healthy. These are proper Betta setups.

Who the fuck would even feed an omnivorous bearded dragon pellet food…? Do they want a sick pet? If pet stores even bothered to care about the keeping of exotic pets, they would know that shit is bad for them. If you can’t feed live meal worms and crickets than you shouldn’t own an exotic pet in the first place. Pellet food isn’t even real food, it’s chemically made with preservatives.

“Too small for a large bird like a parrot”

Reminder that parrots are not one species and range from budgie (parakeet) and cockatiel sized to macaws.

[neurodivergent-crow]

Either way it’s too fucking small, mate

[commander-ledi]

@ the people in the comments going like “but i cant afford anything bigger/better!”

like no offence, but you shouldnt get a pet at all if you cannot afford to give them decent care.

[thebedroomzoo]

Even with his red eyes, Kevin’s pretty cute ♥️

[thebedroomzoo]

Bath time for a filthy boy.

He anoints with the dirt in his house and sticks his little head underground looking for the good bugs so he’s filthy 99.9% of the time, praise him for a being a clean boy

Oh no Huffy! You’ve pooed on your head 😂

[thebedroomzoo]

I spy a tiny boy.

This is Eli, he’s a Chinese hamster that I rescued from living in a tiny dusty cage. He’s really old and wobbles when he walks! His favourite place to sleep is next to his wheel and he moves all his bedding from his house to next to his wheel all by himself!

Happy Birthday Belle, she’s two today! She’s getting quite chunky in her old age, but she’ll still be getting lots of bugs later to celebrate.
