It's just too easy sometimes to wear the rose colored glasses and pretend that there are no unloved animals out there starving, being mistreated or worse. Most of the critters you see on my site are from such places. I will urge anyone who is considering getting an animal of any kind firstly to do your homework on the species. Don't count on the pet stores alone to give you the full scoop. I recommend getting a hold of local shelters and refuges first to get real idea of the animals good and bad traits.

Secondly make sure once you've done your research that you have the time to devote to this critter. Never get an animal if there is even the remote thought in your mind that it's on a trail basis, and if it doesn't work out you can always sell it to someone else! This is the number one reason for so many homeless animals.

Thirdly if you have done all your research and have the time please consider a rescue animal before all else. I can't even begin to explain the joy my critters have brought me , and even though they may have had there little quirks at first. Any animal no matter what the species will thrive when given a home with unconditional love and respect. it's always been those little beginning quirks that turned in to such individual characteristics and given my critters there own little additudes.

If anyone would like help or info on any of my critters please feel free to contact me anytime. I've also done a lot of wildlife rescue. Hope you are enjoying your visit and come back again.:^)
