Animals of All Kinds (But Mostly Bunnies)

I am Sarah and my primary special interest is bunnies. This is a place where I reblog bunnies and other adorable animals to my heart's content (which means a lot of bunnies). Porn bots, please do not follow me. I will block you.

Look, it’s grumpy fox!

[nerdygeekyheaven-deactivated202]

This fox was just told that the muffin shop ran out of his favorite flavor of muffins, but the cashier tried to console him by offering him week-old banana muffins at half price.

Mad fox wants to go, too...

A woodpecker hitched a ride on the side of this man’s car during a rainy day in Chicago.

I accidentally opened this notification and I'm really glad I did.

[unflatteringcatselfies]

Onyx looks adorable until you point a camera at him.

[milkamuesli]

She pretty.

[princessbunnybunofdoom]

Before I scrolled and saw the caption, my first thought was "Look at that pretty bunny!"

[tokitherabbit]

I smell something nearby. It’s right over…oh, there you are!

[benjie-and-luna]

Luna is always on the lookout for new places to discover

She’s our little escape artist, always setting course for places she shouldn’t be in. Behind the sofa, the balcony, our bedroom, out the front door…There’s no stopping her.

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.

[amazingpetenclosures]

All of this is good info, thanks!

[the-awkward-turt]

Ok huge YES to all of this except the pellet food part. High quality pellet diets (I don’t keep beardies so I honestly don’t know if the particular food pictured is rubbish or not) can be healthy as part of diet for many exotic pets. It should not be the only thing the animal is fed or relied upon too heavily (and fresh food should also be a big part of the diet), but not all pellets made for exotic animals are total junk.

[jayce-space]

True. In regards to this one though the food is essentially guinea pig pellets with fish meal instead of fat, good for fiber. Most people feed pellets over fresh foods though. These will very soon lead to a sick dragon if they’ll even eat. If you must do a prepared diet go rapashy gel foods…

[rat-nest]

This is all great! I would like to add that hamsters need much more bedding (10" for dwarf varieties and literally as much as you can reasonably fit for Syrian hams), but for mice it would be fine the way it is.

[jayce-space]

I usually recommend with hamsters to give a dig area. 2-3" on most of the tank and then a boxed area that goes 9-10" makes it easier to maintain while still allowing burrowing. Depending on the hamster type too a dust or sand pit is good too instead of a bowl on the regular bedding.

[munakata-sasori]

This is so true. I can speak about the bunnies because I often hear that some people just put a bunny in a cage and they think that they are happy. Bunnies need at least one partner and they need much space to jump and to run. A friend of mine also have only one bunny and this poor boy sits in a cage his whole life and she doesn’t want to let him out of his cage or at least give him a partner. Please don’t do it to your bunny. If you don’t have enough space to let them out of the cage, you shouldn’t have bunnies. Please think at first about how your bunnies feel! They are not ‘things’! They are living creatures with feels and they deserve to be treated right. Thank you

@firephox

I just got a baby female betta fish who currently lives in a 1 gallon seamless acrylic tank with a little submerged bridge, a silk plant, three live moss balls (“Betta Buddies”), a submerged heater, and a pretty calm (I think?) filtration system. The tank is kept at approximately 75°F-80°F regularly.

Once I get my next paycheck, I am planning on buying her a bigger tank and some more plants and decorations that would allow her more places to hide. Do you think this is an okay temporary setup, and how large would you recommend her second tank to be?

Also, do you have any advice on betta care? I want to make sure she has the best possible care. Right now I have been feeding her betta food that is red flakes, I don’t have the package anymore so I don’t know what brand but I know the package was yellow. Would something like live bloodworms be better?

I went home to visit my parents for my stepbrother’s birthday and my parents bought the fish for me on February 19, so I’ve only had her for a week.
