What are different design of gerbil wheel?

October 24, 2020 by Meagan LeAnn Nash

Gerbils love to spend much of their time running in their wheel and this activity is a good form of exercise and entertainment for them. In order to enriching the lives of gerbils and prevent some serious diseases of gerbils, it is worth to spend your time for proper research best gerbil wheel.

When choosing a gerbil wheel for the first time, it is important to consider the style and design of it to ensure that the wheel not only suits your cage setup but also pleasant for the pets.

#1 Gerbil wheel style

There are two main style of gerbil wheels: the traditional ferris wheel-shaped design and the flat, saucer-style wheels. With the traditional wheels, you can choose the separate wheel and place freely in the cage or get the cage mounted designs, which included with the cage. They are come with solid-surface and wire construction.

I do not recommend the wire construction wheels as the gaps between the rungs can get gerbil’s tail caught in between them. This is not only dangerous but also extremely unpleasant for the pet. Choose a solid wheel, one that your pets can’t get tangled up in.

Luckily, saucer style wheels usually provide a naturally flatter and usually solid running surface, which you can rest your mind to offer your pets.

#2 Material

There are many gerbil wheels are made of plastic. This is because plastic is cheap material, easy to clean, lightweight. However, plastic is not a suitable material to for gerbils wheels as they love to chew and they tent to chew everything surround include their wheel. what you will notice is that when your gerbils are not using their wheel, they might chew on it. So, your gerbil may unintentionally eat plastic.

There is one more safer material that is wood. Wood is the perfect chewing material for gerbils. You also do not need to worry if your gerbils chew their wooden wheel, at least they are not ingesting something bad for them.

#3 Size

Gerbils can’t run enough in a wheel that’s too small for them. An ideal size for a gerbil wheel is about seven or eight inches in diameter. This will ensure your pets have enough space to run without having to be at an uncomfortable angle and twisting their body or arching their back.

How do you know if my UVB bulb for chameleons is good?

October 24, 2020 by Meagan LeAnn Nash

There are lots of manufacturers that create different types of UVB bulbs with four different types have been widely known are compact fluorescent bulb, metal halide bulb, the linear fluorescent bulb, and the mercury vapor bulb.

However, there is the drawback of UVB bulbs for reptiles is that all UVB bulbs have life span. Even you get the best uvb bulb for chameleons and they still turn on and emit white light, it not means that they emit enough amount of UVB that your chamelons need. But how do you know when is the time to replace the UVB bulbs? This post is about how to test UVB bulb.

#1 UVB bulb life time

Overtime all UVB bulbs will start emitting less UVB & eventually emit no UVB. Mercury Vapor bulbs have been growing popular steadily over the past several years. This is due to their long lifespan of around 12-18 months, much longer than other types. Linear Fluorescent bulb and compact Fluorescent bulb should be replaced after every 6 months.

Because of it we all need to mark when the UV bulb was purchased so we should replace it when the time is up.

However, there is alway the case that you may how long the UVB light has been used previously and unsure what brand the bulb.

#2 How to test UVB bulb

First, you have to turn off all the bulb in the room where you place the chameleons cage, includes heating light & full spectrum light. And only turn on your UVB bulb. Make sure the UVB bulb is warmed up. Wait for about 3-5 minutes until the UVB is warm.

Using a sheet of office white paper and place under the UVB bulb. Do not place too far, the distance should be around 12-15 inches from the bulb to the paper.

If your UVB bulb is still working good and emit enough amount of UVB, the paper should show blue/purple spectrum on the white paper. On the other hands, if the paper remains only white light  the bulb might be replaced or expired.

In the case if the paper shows light purple spectrum that means it’s still emitting UV but it was weaker, it is better to replace your UVB bulb.

However, this is just very simple and basic test, I would like to recommend that you should follow the bulb’s expiration date.

Can red eared slider eat canned foods?

October 24, 2020 by Meagan LeAnn Nash

It is obvious that natural foods are always better to provided your red eared slider. You need to ensure that they have a proper diet that supports a healthy, long-lived, and strong turtle. However, in some pinch cases, when you ran out of best food for red eared slider or you may be able to find a snack in your pantry that you think your turtle will love.

While in captivity, they are likely to feed on just about anything you feed them, but repeated use will likely lead to nutritional problems for your pets. These flowing are some canned foods that you should or should not feed your slider.

#1 Canned Pet Foods

Canned foods for dog and cat can be digested by turtle. However, feeding canned pet foods for slider will decrease the water quality in turtle tank. These foods are unthinkably messy, and guaranteed to turn the water cloudy. To avoid this, you should only offer a small amount if food at a time and ensure that your slider eat all the food you give them.

Canned foods that are contain cut meats are better to feed than chopped or pureed meats. Your pets will accept almost any particular flavour, but fish- or poultry-based foods are probably the best choice.

#2 Dry dog and cat foods

You can provide a small amount of dry, kibble dog or cat food for red eared slider on an occasional basis. It is always better feeding high quality, meat-based dry foods as they contain much more nutrients than those made mostly of wheat, corn or rice.

Some types of kibble are too large for turtle to swallow, you may have to break them into smaller pieces. Ensure that you offer them with the food smaller than the gap between their eyes.

#3 Canned fruits or vegetables

If there are any canned squash, green beans, peas, apples, pears or carrots in your pantry, you can rest your mine to provide your pets. Like any other canned food, you just need to ensure these products are not contain added oil or salt and rinse them before offering.

Acidic fruits and vegetables, including hot peppers (green bell peppers are safe) or citrus fruits, as well as pickled fruits or vegetables are not appropriate for turtles.

What type of pant you should not use for survival pant?

August 25, 2020 by Meagan LeAnn Nash

Having the best survival pants is one of the most critical elements of your plant to explore wildness. Apart from your shoes, the paint also interacts the most with environment. Many people make the mistake and have misconception about the types of pant to use as survival pant.

Some normal pants that not specially designed for survival instinct, it could be a bad idea to find survival clothing. Here are some pants that you should avoid when it comes to survival.

#1 Jeans

Jeans and joggers not designed to against a lot of environment elements that you encounter in a survival situation. They are quite easy to rip as they are caught in briars, thorns, and brush. Not only that, jeans are not water-resistant in the slightest, which can make you very hot in the warmer weather. It even can make you sweat and hypothermia in colder environments. Most survival pants undergo a special treatment and have a special coating, which will allow them to repel water.

Survival pants are designed to be soft, lightweight, flexible, breathable, while the jeans will restrict your movement more than the survival pants. The breathability encourages air circulation for your comfort when wearing survival pants.

Another thing that makes survival pants different from jeans that is many survival pants offer a padding or an extra layer in the knee and buttocks areas, where are usually contact with the hard ground.

#2 Camo survival pants

We all know that camo color will makes you feel more powerful and easier to hidden among the trees and. However, it is not a good ideal to wear a camo survival pants, you should be careful with your choice. In a survival situation, there is maybe the case that you are lost in the territory areas of someone or the military base.

People are conditioned to think that camo is a sign indicate possible expertise, training, well equipped. In other words, you may get trouble. You should choose the olive green or black pants, which helps you bend well in nature and do not cause any misunderstanding.

#3 The pains that are not suitable for the environment

Not all the survival pants are the same. Some pants are designed especially for hot and humid condition, while the others are better for cold and wet. It is best to look for pants that are designed for the temperature and environment you live or you intend to go for the trip.

Growers Choice Seed Bank Review (www.growerschoiceseeds.com): Best Online Seed Bank USA

August 15, 2020 by

Our Growers Choice Seed Bank review was a fairly easy one to write. First, their website was quite easy on the eyes and nicely organized.

Grower’s choice doesn’t claim to be the best online seed bank usa. In fact, they only carry 40 strains of cannabis seeds. However, all their seeds are fully feminized, and the genetics of every strain are examined in a lab.

Grower’s choice is so confident about the cannabis seeds they sell that they offer a guarantee that at least 90 percent of their marijuana seeds will germinate. That is a refreshing change from many seed banks who take no responsibility for whether the seeds they sell are good or not.

Another thing that is a little unusual is that Choice Seed Bank has a loyalty program. You get 250 loyalty points for signing up, 250 points for writing a review, and 10 points for every dollar you spend. Getting 250 points qualifies you for a $5 discount.

Although headquartered in Spain (cannabis seed banks that ship to usa, one of the rare seedbanks from this country) Grower’s choice has a warehouse in the United States and all U.S. orders are shipped from there.

It typically takes around 7 to 10 days to receive your order by U.S. Mail, which costs an additional $9.95 but all orders are trackable.

Payment is allowed by mail, ACH electronic Checks, bitcoin, and via Zelle within the United States. Zelle allows the use of a Visa or Mastercard without any fees attached.

Another thing we like about Choice Seed Bank is that their product descriptions are particularly detailed.

Have you ever gone to a seed bank website and seen a product description only 4 lines long and are clearly written by a breeder? Not with Choice Seed Bank.

Pick a product and you will find perhaps 4 long paragraphs written just about the strain. Then click strain details and you will find full information about the strain such as the THC level and flowering time. Lastly, click on reviews and ratings and you will find dozens of customer reviews on the strain you are considering buying.

Our only problem with Grower’s Choice Seed Bank is the price. At around $10 per seed, they are a little pricey. But apparently most customers don’t mind.

However, Grower’s Choice has a 53 percent poor or bad review rating on our favorite review site, so we would urge caution and reading reviews from several sources before you buy.

The feature of paper towels is it can hold humidity very well. Maintaining moisture that beneficial for pets but it is not really good at odor control.

#3 Easy to clean and replace

The outstanding point of VIVA paper towel is that it is easy to replace. Once your leopard geckos release their waste, you can simply replace this paper towel sheet. This work is much easier than replacing the loose substrate.

Besides, replacing the entire bedding means that there is no pieces of waste are left in the cage. So there is no chance of the bacteria survive and you can easy to keep the tank very pure with this paper towel.
