Sunny The Gecko
Her name is Sunny Sunny is a sweet female Leopard Gecko. A leopard gecko is a good pet beginner reptile owners, easily handle. Sheβs been with us for a year. Crickets and hornworms are her favorite type of foods, especially hornworms. I love my gecko, but Iβm nervous touching hornworms, their faces and bodies just make me creeped out. If I could explain their faces when I look close, it would never end and make me not focus on the theme of this story. I love to hang out with Sunny and describe her colors, to make a perfect description. Sunny has a yellow, white and pink color to her skin. You can see her chubby tail has a pink color it. It was yellow, skinny and more symmetrical to her body before it broke off. Why is her name Sunny? Itβs because her dominant color is yellow just like the sun. Yes, I did some research about leopard geckos before I got her. I brought Sunny when she was size of my thumb. It took time for her to adjust a new environment, a new place, a new home and her new parents. I like to say that I am her mommy.

When a Chinese Hooded Rat Won My Heart
I rescued a rat. There was a time I had wanted a snake as a pet. I went out and found a young Boa Constrictor at a pet store. I brought him home and took the advice of the pet shop employee on how to care for the snake. That was a mistake. Had I purchased a care guide, I would have known it was better and safer for the animal and myself to use frozen rodents to feed the snake. Obviously, not while still frozen, but the best way was to avoid using live rodents. I did not realize this and believed the teen aged pet shop employee that feeding the snake live mice was best.

Pigs On The Sofa
I would love to have pig friends in our home, or at least the backyard, but alas, we do not have enough room for a barn, and our small house would not comfortably accommodate two large pigs on the sofa. If we could, I know just which pigs I would choose. Their names are Roxy and Rayline, and they live at a rescue in New Hampshire called Live and Let Live Farm. It is a magical place that accepts all kinds of animals, and if you get the chance to visit, please do. The farm began decades ago by taking in horses, but I have met turtles and cockatoos there as well. Any animal who needs help is welcome. What I can do for these pretty girls is sponsor them, so that is what I do. I have not yet met them in person, (or, in porcine, as the case may be.) I will meet them soon, but in the meantime, I thought I would get to know them through a telepathic communication with each.

A Bird With a Funny Name or: How to Live with a Challenging Pet
Parrots make terrible pets. It makes sense if you look at their nature. In the wild many, like Macaws and Amazon Parrots, live in dense rainforests. When they want to find their friends or alert others to danger, they scream. They have to be loud for the sound to carry through the greenery - so they can scream very, very loud. Living in a rainforest also allows them to be messy. Itβs easier to drop bits of their fruit to the forest floor and grab more off a nearby branch than meticulously eat every bit of their snack. Though it makes them seem wasteful, itβs a behavior that is important to the ecosystem, allowing for new plants on the floor to grow.

The Silent Epidemic
As a reptile rescue, we have seen the trends come and go. Fluctuations in what reptiles are "in" and what are on the down-slide. Originating countless years ago, when the reptile trade began, there was little knowledge of husbandry, and as a result, many of these reptiles died of bad practices. Let alone the fact that many of the "captive" reptiles at the time were wild-caught and forced into the pet trade. Once again, we have seen a new trend that we fear has contributed to the rise in uneducated reptile owners, the COVID-19 Pandemic. For many, this doesn't seem like a likely contributor. But let us tell you why it's the complete opposite.
