You gotta make sure they’re no where near any wind draft. Also you’re gonna need a heat lamp. Grain free cat food like blue buffalo or around those brands and mealworms and insects. Nice I’ve been wanting one but I have a zoo already and my squirrel is a handful.
Ehhh, I don’t listen to that stuff. Ahaha, I have a squirrel. I’m still here. HahaDo Hedgehogs Carry Diseases Harmful To Humans?
Diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans are called zoonotic diseases. And if you're wondering, "Do hedgehogs carry diseases harmful to humans?"
Thank you, I’ll let my family know that. Good thing I have a colony of both meal and super worms. What do the tortoise boxes actually do
Tortoises boxes are like enclosures for your rouses has like a den to protect it from direct sunlight and then the rest has wire on top so that the tortoise can get direct sunlight. Just a reason I think it would be good but also like all animals supervision as well wouldn’t want your heftier roasting in the summer heat.
All right I’ll see if my local pet stores have a tortoise box. And we were told to feed him high quality cat food and insects
Squirrels aren’t hedgehogs.
Yeah but I’ve had plenty of wildlife before. Still don’t listen to those articles. Neither do I listen to people saying you’re gonna get rabies. As long as you wash your hands before and after it’s fine.
I generally don’t either, however a lot of that information is accurate. My mom is a vet tech that works with almost exclusively exotic animals. I trust her word over any article, so when she affirms the info? Yeah it’s legit. And I agree about washing hands and such, but you can’t wash ringworm off lol and let’s be honest, how many people legitimately wash their hands after they mess with an animal? I would venture to say a very low percentage.
Ringworm isn’t as bad. My dog had it al it was I washed her stuff regularly and went all natural. Idk why people don’t do it freaking coconut oil works. I bathed her once a week and then once completely dry I would lather her with coconut oil. Left it on her until her next bath. Did that for two weeks and it was gone. Then a nephew of mine I didn’t know had it and I had him in a headlock and I got one aha. Right away put coconut oil within a week it was completely gone. Yet it took my sister lousy meds to try to get rid of it and until I got tired and said here and dabbed my nephew with it. Gone. Aha, so keep in mind coconut oil has anti fungal proprieties. Just in case anyone needs to hear it.
Thank you for knowing this lol. There are a lot of homeopathic remedies people write off that work so much better than what big pharma wants to push xD
Yeah, at first I was like hmm. Then I tried it and said oh snap. It works. Haha, so I saved money plus coconut oil is good for the dogs. Both to eat and their skin. Cats like it in their food and they’re usually the pickiest of eaters.
