Most people do not realize that guinea pigs are one of the few species of mammal (along with humans), that cannot make vitamin C and must obtain it from their diet. Other animals that require supplementation of Vitamin C in their diet includes some primate, bats, and capybaras.
Sure bunnies are cute, but they are an 8-12 year commitment. There are many of these posts going around highlighting that bunnies do not make good Easter pets.
So today I wanted to take some time to talk about reproductive disease in bearded dragons. There are a few conditions which can occur including cloacal prolapse, dystocia (egg binding) and pre-ovulatory follicular stasis. Pre-ovulatory follicular stasis is the one that I want to talk about today because it seems to be the most prevalent in female bearded dragons.
Dental disease in bearded dragons appears to be more prevalent in captivity than in the wild. Lizards actually lack tooth sockets and their teeth rest on the bone of their maxilla or mandible.
In the wild, birds spend the majority of their day flying around and searching for food. The act of finding food; husking seeds and nuts and chewing on vegetation is known as foraging.
What should you really be feeding your bird? When most people think about bird diets, seed is the first thing that comes to mind.
