Ask Me Help Desk - Pictures of our pets!

Just a word of advice on the finches. If you buy two you'll never have to buy anymore for the rest of your life.

They're worse then rabbits when it comes to breeding. I learned that the hard way.

Got to run.

Night all.

Would they take them at the pet store?

You can't breed 2 hairless ones together unless they both have at least one powderpuff parent or else the puppies will be still born, or even worse, deformed.

They also do not have teeth like a regular dog... they have tusks (yep... tusks)

They are a very interesting breed.

I LOVE Fennec foxes, if I could own any wild animal, it would be one of those!

Dahlia - The last pictures I posted is a full grown dog... they get around the same height as a small Miniature Poodle (about 13 inches)

I've never found a pet store that would, they simply get too many as is from legit breeders.

If I could spay or neuter a bird I would. I started with 2 finches and within a year had over 20. No one would take them.

I finally got them all a new home, paradise actually, they live in a green house that's open to the public. The pavilion they're in is the Hawaii themed one. It's tropical, it has a waterfall and it has tons of finches in it already.

I love finches, they are beautiful little birds, but the constant breeding is just too much. I started with one cage, great for 2 - 6 finches. Without 2 months I had to buy a bigger cage. Another few months and another bigger cage, the biggest I could find. Then I started separating them using all three cages.

The picture you posted of the cage you'd want, that would be too small within two years.

Finches have to have a partner, they cannot be kept alone. If you are going to get them, do yourself a favor, get all males. Don't get females as they will lay eggs even if they're not fertilized. I lost a few finches because they laid too many eggs and their uterus popped out. There's not much you can do once that happens.

I'd get love birds. They're easier. ;)

I had the actual image. Not feeling sorry for you guys. ;)

Yeah well... you do have a point there!

Then I will do myself a favor and get all males. :) I'll make sure that the petstore gets it right. But this won't be for a while.

My Brother had a bearded dragon named spike. It's uterus popped out, that's when we found out that it was a girl, it died.

Aww poor dragon :(
I had a bunny named spike when I was little. He was a white angora.

He looked just like this one, but he had black eyes, not red.
I miss him :( He was stolen out our yard :(

Such a pretty bunny! Terrible that someone would steal it right out of the yard.

Nice stack for a first workout. Would a show lead help with the stifles? He looks a little stiff.

Cat wants to know how the poodles are handling him?

Here is a funny video I made of JR and the water hose while I was dog sitting last summer.

Lead training starts Monday, he walks on lead somewhat, but not very well.
I'm going to try stacking on the table instead of the ground, that might help.
That pic was one of the last ones we took and was getting a bit sick of it by then so we called it a day.

He actually has his first run with Prada today.
She's a little bit pushy, but she's not very energetic, he was a little scared but not too bad, just rolling over and giving her licks on the face.

He won't be able to run with Brody for another couple of months, he was WAY too energetic and would probably end up hurting him.

That's my son's yard, thanks... his dog too. My son travels a lot, so I do a lot of dog sitting. Last fall my sister told him she'd dog sit for him while he went out to California for a week. She didn't know what she was in for, I made a few videos while she was getting to know him. Here they are on the trampoline, she thought I was trying to take a still photo of her touching her toes...

JR looks to be a really fun pup.

I have always had short stumps for nails because I bite them, I have finally managed to grow them for the first time EVER! (proud :D )

I bet the dogs love your nails!

JR is a really fun dog :)

Haha, I love taking sneaky videos!!
It works really well on a camera phone and you pretend you are typing a message ;)

Hey JR is really lucky to have that yard:D I hope they have a riding lawnmower:)

Hehehe, got to love the ear tape. Can't wait for more pics.
I'm so sick of taking Cyrus out for socialising and everyone just going "oh the poor thing, why did you do that too him"

Umm, how about he's my dog and it's none of your business :rolleyes:
