That is actually my biggest problem with chain stores. Mass breeders of animals have no concept of humane, healthy, or safe treatment or care...they just see dollar signs. I won't buy an animal except maybe a fish from a pet store for that reason. Believe me, my dog came from a pet store (not...

I use a cheese grater and grate all the vegetables, they prefer their veggies grated and not in small pieces or chunks. In our local grocer, Collard Greens and Kale are considered the same thing, and are in the same spot. Not that I can get my Balinor to touch it, its not lettuce-ie enough, can...

ahhh, tis good to see the plan coming together so well, This is Balinor, King of the Unicorns..and my brother charlie >.> I'm not sure about him.... Rest assured I've not only gotten my mommy in a trance to type for me as a true slave should, I've also started building the army, The Unicorn King...

Animals do not have "feelings" like that, they are not human. You're talking about a reptile. I feed my beardies regularly, handle them, they see me and my hands all the time, I still get the occasional puff up from one of them. They see the cat I cuddle constantly, if he's on or near their...

thats almost the idea, not give the guy a heart attack, but if he'll lunge at it by being spooked, he'll get a mouthful of the food. it usually takes the one bite and then they've caught on.

This is going to sound ridiculous. But I have one minor suggestion.. Try getting a baby spoon for feeding him the baby food, and play the air plane game. I've had to do this, (I've even included the sounds for my own amusement) I'll dab a little on his lip, or drip a little on to the tip of...

They get picky too.. My balinor likes his greens, squash, and red bell pepper, he'll occasionally get some carrots in there once in a while, and once in a while I mix in some fruit for him too. Charlie, will have none of that, if I put anything more than his greens and squash in the dish, he...

I was going to ask this question too.. I was at the pet store the other day, and I love the guys that work that shift, they're not *****s generally..and they seem to know their stuff.(I have a variety of pets) They asked me why I don't feed pinkies. My first reason is that my boys are too...

thanks for the responses :) The UV is about a year old, so that would be no issue to replace, although he actually seems to be doing better and better. I dust the crickets with calcium/herptavite dusts, and still feed squash and chicken/turkey baby foods. Re-assuring to say the least, I...

Ok, I've read through all the veggie threads. We feed, Endive, Escarole, Bell Pepper, Summer Squash as our standard salad, I will add in a treat to the salad occasionally, sometimes apple, I've fed banana once, Water melon once or twice, Cilantro, Carrots just to keep the salads interesting so...

I think you just answered my question I was going to post up :) course, that was after I sat here and hand fed my Balinor some baby food and super worms because he ignored his salad again all day yesterday. and I just wanted to say completely unrelated, Grendel is awesome, listen to them...

I would think..perhaps you could report them for improper set up? Any petsmart/petco (I've never gone into a pet land my dog was originally purchased there...I refuse to support those people) I've gone into did not have proper lighting, proper food, or proper substrate in there with their tiny...

So, I adopted a new guy, and I figured I'd share him with you :) he's 2-3 months old, I got him from a friend who could no longer keep him in her home due to space. When she got him, the original owner had decided he didn't want him and had stopped feeding him. I picked him up, got him a new...

I read the brumation thread, it seems likely but here is my concern anyways, because I'd rather not just jump to conclusions. When I joined this forum, Balinor was sick we had been given the wrong instructions on everything from his "breeder" and you guys most certainly saved his life. Its at...

Ah, thank you! That would be why I asked, The spicy idea really didn't sit well with me but I wasn't sure. Next time I''ll just have to make a special bowl of non lime non jalepeno mix for him I wasn't going to try until someone here responded so thanks again! :)
