Pet Ferret Care

July 6th, 2011 2:40 am


Although pet ferret care is not difficult by any stretch of the imagination, it is not as easy as caring for small pets like hamsters or mice. Ferrets are probably one of the most enjoyable pets you can own, but they certainly are not for just anyone. Ferrets are a domesticated animal and are of the Mustela Putorius family being related to pole cats, weasels, badgers and skunks. A ferret’s lifespan is 7 to 8 years old.

They need a lot of attention and play time numbering at least two hours per day out of their cage unless your ferret has free run of a room or your house. A house or room needs to be ferret proofed if your ferret runs free as they will get into anything small enough for their little body. They can even get underneath a closed door, behind refrigerators and stoves and in any holes around your home, so make sure they are blocked off.

Ferrets are prone to many diseases when they get old, so you should plan for this as time goes by. They usually get cancer such as, insulinoma, adrenal disease and other types of cancers. An important aspect of pet ferret care is spaying or neutering your pet.

Unless you are planning on being a breeder, all ferret pets should be spayed/neutered. All pet store ferrets are spayed/neutered when you buy them. If you purchase a ferret from a breeder you will be responsible for spaying/neutering your pet. The care of pet ferrets is not as easy as other small pets, but it doesn’t have to be difficult or complicated!

Build A Bird House

July 5th, 2011 3:42 am


If you enjoy spending time around birds then you may want to build a birdhouse. Building a birdhouse is a great way to become a companion of birds. Birdhouses add attractiveness to any landscape. Crafting, designing and building birdhouses is a in-expensive hobby.

You need to construct a birdhouse that is easy to clean. It should be sturdy, cool, and rainproof as well. Remember, this is your birdhouse, so use your imagination; you will have something unique and all your own when your project is completed..

It is important not to use metal to build your birdhouse, not even nails; use non-toxic outdoor wood glue. Metal can become very hot when the sun is beating down on it, plus it can have very sharp edges. Wood is the best material to build a birdhouse. To keep water out of the entrance of the birdhouse you need the roof to pitch enough to shed water.

Add a couple small holes near the top of the birdhouse for ventilation on hot days. The bottom of the birdhouse should be constructed with screws, so it will be easy to take apart when you clean it.
