Proper Nutrition For Ferrets
Ferrets live longer and have better chances of avoiding illness if given the right food. A ferret loves meat and its survival depends on a diet that has minimal fiber but is big on protein. First rate cat food was the only option during the mid 1980s for satisfying the hunger of these pet mammals. Cat food still works as ferret food but there are countless other choices in the market today that are better suited to ferret needs especially when it comes to proper carbohydrate content and improved fat quality. The right combination of low carbohydrates and fat are necessary for prolonged ferret survival. It is a must for a baby ferret to maintain a diet of this form.
Look for products containing two percent fiber plus 35 to 40 percent protein and between 18 and 30 percent of fat but it is also important that they have below seven percent level of ash and 21 amino acids and carbohydrates found in rice flower or yeast of brewers.
Expect also some foods for ferrets to be made of frozen fish that was not processed right and that your pet will not be happy with them. Picky ferrets would often rather starve than swallow what you bought them for lunch or dinner. High grade cat food is cheaper than premium ferret food but given that ferrets are not heavy eaters the cost pretty much evens out. A healthy diet is usually all that is needed to keep ferrets fit so supplements become almost unnecessary.
Ideally ferrets should eat two times everyday to allow them to receive adequate calories to stay healthy. Since ferrets are fairly small it only makes sense that their food portions be tiny too. A damp diet should only be left in the food bowl of the ferret for roughly 45 minutes as anything beyond that time frame is considered not advisable. Dry pellets are another diet route worth considering for your pet also. It is okay to leave dry pellets in the cage for hours as this food type lasts longer. Teeth cleaning is another upside of feeding ferrets dry pellets. A dry diet calls for fresh water being available to ferrets all the time. Water dishes are the preferred container by ferrets for their drinking water which needs changing often to maintain their pure quality.
Housebreaking ferrets goes a lot quicker if you also give them occasional treats but this is not really a requirement. Eggs that are cooked along with some meats are a favorite among ferrets for snacks. Food to avoid include fruits and candy that are rich in sugar plus nuts and various nut products as well as dairy like milk and ice cream as these can lead to issues concerning nutrition. Health troubles include diarrhea and obesity together with hypoglycemia as well as tooth decay and intestinal blockage plus insulinoma and malnutrition.
Do not give treats in large amounts as your pet might begin refusing their usual daily diet in favor of the treats. A ferret has a hard time digesting vegetables and grains so it would be smart to avoid them. Onions are bad for ferrets and are considered poisonous.
Part of living healthy for a ferret is adequate nutrition. In this way your ferret stays happy and comfy while reducing its potential for developing serious health conditions. Most ferret owners are known for doting on their playful pets but the top way to show them you care is still providing them with correct nutrition.

Your Guide to Your Hamster's Diet
Just like all living things, a hamster also needs to have a proper diet to make them strong and healthy. They'll eat almost anything since they are omnivores but you still have to be careful. Overfeeding your pet may lead to hamster diarrhea which will make your pet very sick.
You may start your hamster's diet with the food she was given at the pet shop. Whenever you are feeding your hamster, introduce a new variety of food such as vegetables or fruits but do this gradually in very small portions. Just give her a little amount each time until she gets used to it. Also, make sure that your hamster always has fresh, clean water in her cage.
The food that your hamster really loves is seeds and nuts. It's usually included in hamster food mixes, but you can still give her a piece or two as a treat. Green vegetables are also a favorite for hamsters but you should regulate the amount you are feeding because too much may cause liver problems. Once every two or three days should be good enough.
You should always give your hamster food that's at room temperature and with no spices added. If you have taken the food out of the refrigerator, allow it to adjust to room temperature first before feeding this to your hamster. Make sure that you clean up any left-over chow to avoid having your pet eat spoiled food.
There are some foods that you should avoid adding to your hamster diet such as apple seeds, almonds, onions, garlic, mushroom, tomatoes and several others. To get a complete list, just do a little research online. These foods are prohibited because they may cause digestive problems and are toxic to your pet.
Sticky foods must also be avoided because they can become trapped in the hamster's pouch, causing an infection and you'll need your vet to remove it.
A Dwarf Hamster diet should be more carefully chosen, as compared to other hamsters, because they are more prone to sickness such as diabetes. So, make sure not to feed them foods such as fruits that have too high glucose content like raisins, pears, mangos and grapes.
The best time to feed your hamster is when she wakes up at dusk. Remember to refill her dish regularly so that she always has something to nibble on especially at night when she's active and you're asleep.
Giving your hamster proper nutrition will make her healthy, prevent unwanted illnesses and ensure a longer life. So, be very careful of your hamster's diet and give her only the foods that will make her perform at her best.

Help to Actively Promote the Protection of Our Marine Ecosystems
The most important accomplishments in history are always achieved through collective action, and are never the result of just one player or protagonist. Today, we find ourselves in a relatively disconcerting scenario where a lot of the world's most important ecosystems are being polluted on a daily basis without second thought, and the results of our actions are being felt more and more every year. With regards to one of the planet's most important natural resources, our seafood stocks are declining and the quality of seafood has gone down as trace levels of heavy metals and other problematic presences are detected. To help turn the situation around, it is going to be necessary for a large segment of society to wake up and take action on the matter, helping to drive the market for sustainable seafood in a very proactive way.
It is basically a question of rewarding the fishing industries that are respecting conservation and sustainability issues and punishing the ones that are not. That's why it is important to check the label on any and all seafood products that one buys (or asking the person supplying them when buying at seafood stands where the products are not packaged and labeled), reading to find out where the product has been harvested. If there is one sure bet on the matter, it is that any seafood item bought in Alaska meets and exceeds the most stringent sustainability criteria, as the state is an international leader on sustainable seafood issues and has been helping to drive the market for sustainable seafood for a long time now.
The simple fact is that Alaska has put more effective and more demanding laws on the books vis-a-vis seafood stock preservation and promotion than any other state in the Union, and certainly more so than can be said of any foreign government. The proof is in the pudding, and all scientific research on the matter has come to the resounding conclusion that the Alaskan waters are basically the most environmentally sound in the world and that the seafood stocks have been maintained at high levels, well above the levels observed in nearby waters. Alaskan producers have been doing a lot to raise awareness and advertise the superior ecological standards that exist in the state, and with the help of ordinary people it will hopefully be possible to continue to drive the market for sustainable seafood, with the final result of improving the human exploitation of this major and important natural resource once and for all.

Pitbulls
Pit Bulls can be termed as America's most-loved as well as most-feared dogs at the same time. American homes have always had pit bulls as worthy affectionate pets, but a series of mauling incidents over the years have created paranoia about this dog breed all over the nation.
The term 'Pit Bull' is a term referring to three breeds of dogs: the American Pit Bull Terrier, the American Staffordshire Terrier and the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Their combinations are also called as Pit Bulls. Pit Bulls were originally from England. The American Pit Bull Terrier was imported to America from England in the 19th century. Out of all the Pit Bull breeds, the American Staffordshire Terrier, simply called as the AmStaff is a descendent of the English bulldog, which was specifically raised for fighting. All Pit Bulls are characterized by their short stocky but strong bodies. They have wide mouths with long hanging tongues.
Pit Bulls are considered to be the most athletic dogs in the world. They are descendents of the bear and bull fighting dogs used by cowboys in the past. Pit Bulls can hold a bull by biting it on the nose and hence the term 'to take a bull by its nose'. However, Pit Bulls are also considered to be very affectionate towards children. Various families that own Pit Bulls swear that pit bulls are the best breed of dogs around children and they take an instant and instinctive liking towards them.
Pit Bulls are temperamentally aggressive dogs. Some kennels breed the dogs for dogfights, which are still conducted in spite of the fact that such fights are illegal. Even an ordinary Pit Bull wouldn't flinch to attack other dogs and sometimes even people if left loose. Several Pit Bulls at the kennels bear scars, which indicate that they may have been involved in scrapes in the past.
Due to their ferocity and violent disposition, Pit Bulls are being banned from various cities and states, Ontario in Canada being one of them. The remnants of them are being spayed, neutered and also treated with euthanasia. Undoubtedly, this has created a furor among dog lovers all over.
Dog lovers condemn the mercilessness of the way in which Pit Bulls are being treated. They maintain that Pit Bulls are just as aggressive as other dogs, and in the midst of caring and loving owners, they become so mellow that they even be placed with toddlers without worry. The problem lies with the owner, not the dog. Pit Bulls who are uncared for and bred poorly often become vicious. Also a single act by some Pit Bull does not speak for the whole breed. Pit Bull lovers are trying their best to save the Pit Bulls via signature campaigns and slogans like "Punish the deed; not the breed."
Pit Bulls have become the center of a tug-of-war between the authorities and animal lovers. Once a most amiable and well-loved breed, today it is looked upon as a monster by many. The future of the breed, which was once it's most-loved remains enveloped in doubt.

The Old Hamster Wheel is Out! Check Out These Fun Toys For Hamsters and Gerbils
Last week, my mother gave my son Eric a hamster for his 6th birthday. I kind of looked at the thing with disgust, I must say. But as the days went by, that furry little thing won my heart. Now, it is no longer a "thing" for me; now it has a name: Hanky.
Hanky is quite a pal. He gets pretty scared when I vacuum my son's room. I take him out -in his cage, of course- to the yard. I guess he must enjoy the sun.
I still owed Eric his birthday present. So, I asked that dreaded question "What do you want for your birthday?" I secretly feared: a Wii, an iPod. What do you want, for Pete's sake! Speak now or forever hold your peace. I was flabbergasted at his response: a toy for good old Hanky
That made perfect sense. After all, as the old saying goes, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". Well, in this case Hanky. So, I set to getting him a toy. I thought a wheel was the most you could get, when it came to toys for hamsters. Well, I was wrong.
I was amazed to find the Super Pet CritterTrail Puzzle Playground. Yeah, the real deal. First of all, it is completely made of plastic, so it is very easy to wash. And it looks like real fun! Tunnels, and ramps for Hanky to climb, mazes, you name it. You get to design your toy, since the customer assembles the parts together in the shapes he likes the most. Sweet! Oh, and really inexpensive.
You wouldn't believe what a cute object the FerreTrail Bubble Play Kit is. It consists basically of two bubble wave tubes, a number of connectors, an elbow, a tee, and a round around ball. I could picture Hanky running around the ball like crazy. Sure, it sounds like fun. It is also made of plastic, and you can make your own design, since the pieces fit together perfectly. Very important piece of information for mommies: it's odorless.
I almost died when I saw the Critter Cruiser. It is actually a racing wheel, with the shape of a car. It's lovely. It looks like one of my son's toy cars. If you adjust it properly, the Cruiser will move in three directions on any flat surface. I figured it was a nice way to fulfill two purposes: exercise Hanky -he has put on some weight since he came home-, and find a nice way for Eric to play with his hamster without hurting him.
Needless to say, I ended up buying all three things. That made us all three -Eric, Hanky, and myself- extremely happy. The perfect birthday present for a little guy with a furry pet.

Choosing a Cage For Your Sugar Glider
Owning a sugar glider can be a rewarding experience. If you are considering bringing one (or more) into your home you will want a cage for your friend to live in. Here are a few things to keep in mind when deciding on a glider cage. These tips will help provide safety to your sugar glider and peace of mind to yourself.
Pet cages are available in a variety of materials. Cages made from bare wire can irritate a glider's feet so it is best to look for a wire cage that is powder-coated or possible one made of vinyl. Powder-coated wire is easier to clean and more forgiving to your glider's feet. Plexi-glass cages look nice when they are new but scratch easily as sugar gliders like to climb.
Gliders enjoy climbing and jumping and, because of this, you need to consider the height of the cage. Vertical space is more important in sugar glider cages than horizontal space. A good rule of thumb is at least three feet of vertical space for a glider, although it is certainly alright to get a cage taller than three feet.
It is also important to make sure the bars on the cage are no more than 1 inch apart. Bars with ½ inch of space between them work well, also. A wire cage will allow your glider to climb on the cage instead of buying something to put inside the cage for him or her to climb on.
Sugar gliders are very intelligent animals and can learn to open their own cage. For their safety it is a good idea to find a cage that has a secure lock or latch that they can't get open themselves.
Gliders are great pets and can provide a lot of enjoyment. Choosing the right cage will eliminate a lot of hassle down the road and allow you too take more pleasure in your new family member.
