<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">With the excitement of the 4<sup>th</sup> of July weekend
comes an abundance of stressful lights and noises caused by fireworks. While
enjoyable for most of us, it is important to realize these celebrations can
cause anxiety and stress for our beloved animals. Below are five tips for
helping your pet get through the holiday weekend in peace.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span><a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/" border="0" height="251" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCaXAI6D37tdFPA-hYgqPQwqJxUcQLWGrZsDrIJuV2e3GmpiYICondAIUq0vcUeYXHuMkjmvp7ULj_vY7Oko1QljjcfTdZkaCeWTBCFtm54RdqYwhpdVbe53zTVQUFS_nVjm2Nq6qoeEc/s640/july.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Location.
Location. Location.</b> If your animal’s cage is in an open room, consider
moving the cage to a more closed off area, away from windows. Cover the cage
with a <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/cagecovers.html" target="_blank"><i>cage cover</i></a> or blanket to help
block out some of the noise and light.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><b>Shake A
Tail (Feather).</b> Try distracting your pet from all the commotion with a fun new<a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/suglhetr.html" target="_blank">
</a><i><a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/suglhetr.html" target="_blank">treat</a> </i>to chew on or engaging <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/suglto.html" target="_blank"><i>toy</i></a> to play with. Small animals can find
much amusement by foraging for a tasty treat…plus it gives them something to
focus on besides the fireworks.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-weight: normal;"></span>Turn it
up. </b>While fireworks and other commotions can be causing stress for your
pet, there are sounds that can actually help relax them. Try playing calming
music or using the TV to drown out outside noises. Even using your own voice to
talk to your pet can be soothing for them. </span><br />

Now what?<div class="MsoNormal">
Besides researching the legality of keeping a Sugar Glider as a pet in your state and preparing for its arrival home, there are other considerations. The first consideration is where to get one and from what source. We at Exotic Nutrition encourage all exotic pet owners to buy from sellers or pet stores who breed rather than sources who sell animals straight from the wild. There are plenty of domestically bred Sugar Gliders in the U.S. looking for a good home and we do not encourage removing healthy ones from the wild to be held captive. A domestically bred Sugar Glider will be more tame around humans and able to adjust to life as a pet. It is important to realize there are also many rescue sugar gliders looking for a home. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvhU9I8op__-pHz8wDIA50dSBkcH0Yuvef9usjP7PiyzHh4PZnuooQQRh4K1jpA9aJGM1s7hHfpsmZPOWpppo3Z2WloIahBsc-Ne34zEYFwio_6Kj7oU2IdW-AqDOXqcpm6TIC2jeqSTw/s1600/white+glider%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="340" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvhU9I8op__-pHz8wDIA50dSBkcH0Yuvef9usjP7PiyzHh4PZnuooQQRh4K1jpA9aJGM1s7hHfpsmZPOWpppo3Z2WloIahBsc-Ne34zEYFwio_6Kj7oU2IdW-AqDOXqcpm6TIC2jeqSTw/s640/white+glider%25282%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To find a Sugar Glider for sale, check local pet stores in your surrounding area; big-box stores are unlikely to carry exotics. There are also many breeders that can be found and contacted online. Simply search the web or ask other glider owners in your area. If you are buying a glider that needs to be shipped to you, extra precaution is advised as you will not be able to examine the glider and its living situation before it arrives to you.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Before purchasing a glider, inspect its habitat well and ask yourself (and the seller) these questions: Is the cage kept clean & tidy? Water dishes should be clean and full. Food dishes should be clear of any old, caked on food. Feces around the cage should be very limited. A musky smell from the gliders is okay, but it should not smell filthy. Does the glider look acclimated to be around and handled by humans? Sugar Gliders sometimes bite, but should rarely do so if they are domestically raised and regularly handled. They may be shy at first around someone they aren’t imprinted on, but they should not act vicious. Is the seller a well-informed, experienced breeder? They should be able to describe the glider’s current age, lifestyle and diet. They should also be able to convey accurate information about the habitat, handling, bonding, vet information, emergency care, etc.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The second and possibly most important aspect to consider is the gliders health. While the quality of the habitat is a good starting condition, it is also important to inspect the gliders physical features. The eyes should be clear and round, the ears erect, and fur smooth & silky. If the glider is a sexual mature male, it may have a small mark or bald patch on the top of his head where his scent gland is. A healthy glider should appear alert and move freely about the cage.</div>

The third consideration when choosing a glider is what sex and of what age do you want to purchase it. If you are looking for a baby Sugar Glider, consider one that is at least 12-16 weeks old. A fully mature glider will be around 10 months of age. While age does not necessarily affect how well the glider will imprint on you, a glider that is held-often and raised by humans is likely to be more docile as a pet. You may ask yourself, do I plan to get a male or female glider? Males can be more temperamental, especially around others males. It is not recommended to put more than one male with only one female. You should also ask yourself, do I plan to have my glider(s) neutered/spayed? If you are purchasing a male and would like to prevent the appearance (and smell) of scent glands, you will need to have him neutered before he reaches sexual maturity.</div>

Overall, follow your instinct when choosing a glider and act in the animals' best interest. If it looks like it's all about money and less about the animals’ well-being, go elsewhere. <span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px;">For more FREE information on Sugar Glider care, visit our website: </span><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px;"><a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/glinse.html">http://www.exoticnutrition.com/glinse.html</a></span></span></div>

It is important to provide your chinchilla with
opportunities to exercise in order to stay fit and healthy. Chinchillas are athletic
animals native to the mountains of South America, so they are designed to run
quickly and jump to and from different rock levels. While this type of mobile environment
may be difficult to replicate at home, Exotic Nutrition offers the best
products to promote exercise for your Chinchilla. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is essential to have a well-equip cage in order to
promote good health and a sense of security for your Chinchilla – which leads to
a longer lifespan. The minimal cage requirement for a Chinchilla is 24 inches
cubed, but taller cages like Exotic Nutrition’s <i><a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/towercage.html" target="_blank">Tower Cage</a> </i>or <i><a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/costsuglca.html" target="_blank">Congo Cage</a></i>
are recommended. If your cage does not meet the minimal cage requirements, everyday
playtime outside the cage is necessary for your Chinchilla’s health and
well-being. All Chinchilla cages should have an exercise wheel, some toys and
accessories, and enough room for free space. Running on an exercise wheel
provides animals with some of the same health benefits of running in the wild
while also helping to fight respiratory infections. Having an exercise wheel that
is chew-proof and non-enclosed is mandatory for the safety of your Chinchilla.
Exotic Nutrition offers the most durable, all-metal flying saucer-styled wheel
in the industry, the <i><a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/trwhla14in.html" target="_blank">Treadmill Wheel</a></i>.
Cage accessories, like houses and tunnels, can stimulate interest for Chinchillas
while provoking vigorous activity. Exotic Nutrition’s <i><a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/largeovalhut.html" target="_blank">Large Oval Hut</a></i> or <i><a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/costtul.html" target="_blank">Corn &Straw Tunnel</a></i> encourage cardiovascular exercise that help keep a Chinchilla bright-eyed
and bushy-tailed. Some examples of toys and accessories to provide for your
Chinchilla are Exotic Nutrition’s <i><a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/61916.html" target="_blank">VeggieBasket</a></i>, <i><a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/petplayballs.html" target="_blank">Pet Play Balls</a></i>, or <i>a <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/satrtu.html" target="_blank">Sandy Trimmer Tunne</a>l</i>.

Breeding hedgehogs can be both a rewarding, as well as stressful undertaking. While it is a gratifying experience to help raise baby hedgehogs (“hoglets”), there are many dangers involved and problems that can arise. Specific complications are discussed at the end of this post.<br />
<br />
If you don't know the basics of animal husbandry and breeding, you should not be considering it until you have learned a substantial amount of information. This article will provide a brief description of the breeding process and some basic information about raising a litter, but certainly should not be a sole source.<br />
<div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Before beginning the breeding process</span>, it is important to have the correct mindset going in. A quality breeder does their job because they care about the health and well-being of the animals that they are breeding and can provide a stable life for the new babies. There is an immense responsibility that goes with breeding, and it should not be taken lightly. While hoglets, or baby animals of any kind, can be charming and steal your heart, these emotional factors should not be the main reason behind breeding. <br />
<br />
If you are planning on breeding Hedgehogs, you must be prepared for the following: <br />
<br />
(1) Willing to risk losing the mother, due to health complications <br />
(2) Finding good, caring homes for ALL the babies. If you are undertaking this task yourself, you may need as many as 8 new cages or enclosures to keep the results of one litter <br />
(3) Complications with the birth, whether with the mother or babies, might entail some substantial veterinary bills <br />
(4) Rejection of the babies from the mother, leaving you solely responsible for their care<br />
<br />
<br />
Once you've considered the points above and you still feel confident that you want to breed your hedgehog(s), we encourage you to read on about the details and procedures concerning breeding. We strongly recommend that anyone seriously considering breeding seeks out an experienced breeder, exotic pet veterinarian, or anyone with valuable knowledge that you can turn to with questions during the process.<br />
<br />
The first aspect to consider is who will take part in the mating process. Beside the necessity of a male and female hedgehog, there are other factors to consider. Breeding of ill-tempered or genetically-related hedgehogs is not a very good idea and we would not suggest it. Choosing the hedgehogs based on age, temperament, etc. should be taken into mind, but if you are a first time breeder you may not have a wide selection to choose from. Females should not be bred until they are fully grown, around 5 months of age, because the birth will cause hormonal changes that can have permanent adverse effects on their health if they are not fully matured. A female also shouldn’t be bred for the first time if they are older than 1.5 years because the bones in her pelvic area might have fused together, preventing her from being able to give birth. Also, a female hedgehog will likely become menopausal after 3.5 years of age, ending her chances for breeding. Males should not be bred until they are about 5 months old, because they too might not be fully developed or prepared for mating. If you unsure of how old your hedgehog is, don't risk the complications of breeding or birth.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLrDxBAtfZCqZB2ZMJVi8Ve2cG-EmyiDxcr3Or9lDBEaTNZchUTqE-E-PE1jA71Iytfp41vfa4117Mx4SLd82G8IVT6YLcx79DnJ1Fa7UuKxVLpbCrnF-H_1J9e-izdBwf5mNS-0KP4hE/s1600/HEDGEHOG+COVER+2015+12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="131" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLrDxBAtfZCqZB2ZMJVi8Ve2cG-EmyiDxcr3Or9lDBEaTNZchUTqE-E-PE1jA71Iytfp41vfa4117Mx4SLd82G8IVT6YLcx79DnJ1Fa7UuKxVLpbCrnF-H_1J9e-izdBwf5mNS-0KP4hE/s200/HEDGEHOG+COVER+2015+12.jpg" width="200" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">During the breeding process.</span> Once you have your able-bodied and healthy couple selected, simply put the two hedgehogs together and nature will take-way. We have heard that most breeders seem to prefer to use the male's cage, and we suggest removing as many items from the cage as possible. Female hedgehogs sometimes play “hard to get” while males will usually lament very loudly when they encounter a female. Female hedgehogs do biologically have a `heat,' or estrus cycle, but it is hard to predict/follow. We suggest trial and error by keeping them in the same cage for a few days at a time, separating them for a few days, then repeating the process until breeding occurs. In most cases, the pair will get along quite well at their first encounter, but it is important to watch out as sometimes fights will occur.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> After mating has occurred</span>, you must separate the pair as the male plays no further role in the process. You should remove the male immediately after the female is impregnated; removing him just before birth will stress the mother significantly. Keeping the male in with the female when the babies arrive greatly increases the likeliness to have them both become carnivorous (eat the babies).<br />
<br />
Now comes the question of, is your female pregnant? This is a very hard question to answer and usually only time will tell. The gestation period for hedgehogs is approximately 35 days, but birth can occur anywhere from about 33 - 42 days. One of the best methods to estimate pregnancy is to weigh the female every few days, and watch for a weight gain. We suggest sprinkling <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/r00021.html" target="_blank">Hedgehog Booster</a> over the mother’s food to ensure she is getting the proper vitamins and nutrients during her pregnancy. Closer to the birthing date, you may be able to CAREFULLY feel the babies in the abdomen-area. Another sign to watch out for is that her teats or nipples will become more enlarged, and more obvious. Typically within the last week of pregnancy, the odor from her urine often becomes noticeably stronger or she may exhibit signs of `nesting' where she may make piles of bedding material. She will also likely lose appetite in the day or so prior to the babies being born. Minimizing stress before and after birth is crucial. Keep the mother in a dark, quiet corner covered with a sheet with an abundance of bedding, food and water so you limit the need to enter her cage.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> After the birth</span>, the mother's appetite will likely skyrocket as she is trying to produce enough milk for her hoglets. Offer her all the high-quality food she desires, like <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/heco2.html" target="_blank">Hedgehog Complete</a>, and plenty of fresh water. Just be careful about disturbances as you go into her cage to feed or water her. If the mother appears overly exhausted, extra vitamins or supplements, such as <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/kmrlimire8oz.html" target="_blank">KMR</a> (Kitten Milk Replacement), may help. Again, it is important to minimize stress by limiting your visits to the cage and leaving the mother alone. Ideally, the hedgehog’s maternal instincts will kick in and your job is mostly done besides providing the best environment possible for the mother and her babies. Good mothers will tend to their babies, nurse them and raise the litter without problems. <br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Possible complications</span> may occur after the birth. If mom seems very inactive, possibly lying out of her den, and/or not eating, she may have suffered a problem during birth. In this case, we suggest you get her to a veterinarian quickly. The longer the problem exists, the greater the likelihood that you will lose the mother in addition to the babies. <br />
<br />
One of the most notable and common problems that arise with breeding is that the mother hedgehogs will tend to eat the babies if disturbed at all for a few days prior to or after the birth. If the mother is stressed out or feels endangered, she will instinctively turn to this act as a matter of survival to “reabsorb'' the babies. This can be a very heartbreaking and frustrating experience for new or even experienced breeders. If all the babies are lost you can try breeding again in 3 months, but if this continues to happen, it might be that the female is just not cut out to be a mom and it would be best to not try to breed her. <br />
<br />
Some mothers simply don’t have the maternal instinct right away, but can be taught to care for their young. One way to teach a mother how to appropriately feed her hoglets is to distract her with a treat she likes, like a dried insect, while the babies are trying to latch on to her nipples. An alternate approach is to have an experienced, ‘good’ mother share the cage with the new, ‘bad’ mother. If you can time it so that the good mother gives birth a day or two before the other mother, the good mother will generally defend and adopt the extra babies, nursing them as her own. Hopefully, the bad mother will observe and use this as a learning experience so that next time she has a litter she will be familiar with how to care for her babies and be able to do it on her own. If neither of these approaches work then you will then have to remove the babies for hand feeding.<br />
<br />
If the mother rejects the babies but doesn’t cannibalize them, you can remove them from the cage and try to raise them yourself. This is a big responsibility, creating a major obligation for you for the next few weeks. A newborn hedgehog weighing only 10 to 12 grams can have at most 1 milliliter of formula over the entire day, divided into hourly feedings. Feeding a newborn hedgehog even a little more than this will cause their intestines to impact, stomachs to bloat and distend, and their colon to rupture and they will die of septic shock. <br />
<br />
Finally, after each litter, whether the process went smoothly or there were complications, it is important to give the mother a break to recover from the effort. We would not recommend breeding more than 3 liters per year. Any more than that might place an unnecessary strain on the female and negatively affect her health.</div>

<br />
<b>1) The cage should be as spacious as possible</b>, especially if the glider is spending a majority of its time inside the cage rather than outside. Sugar Glider are active animals that need a lot of room in their cage for movement. In this case, <i>vertical space</i> is more important than horizontal space because gliders prefer to climb and jump, mimicking their behavior in the wild. The minimum requirements of a cage are <i>24" long x 24" wide x 36" tall </i>for a pair of gliders, with bar spacing no more than <i>1/2" wide</i>. Cages of these specific dimensions are hard to find in local stores and usually have to be specially made for gliders. Bird cages just simply do not work for housing Sugar Gliders. Luckily, Exotic Nutrition supplies a wide variety of <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/suglca.html" target="_blank">Sugar Glider cages</a> that meet (& exceed) these requirements. We suggest purchasing the biggest cage you can afford because there is a high correlation between cage size and the health/happiness of a glider.<br />
<br />
<b>2) The cage should be well-constructed and safe</b> with no sharp edges or projections. While this may seem obvious, it is important to thoroughly check your glider's cage regularly for any type of misplaced bars or chipping paint. All of the Exotic Nutrition's cages are made with<i> tube frame construction</i>, which is durable and likely to last the lifetime (and more) of your pet while also providing more space for movement. Make sure to buy a cage with a <i>safe paint-finish</i> to avoid any health issues. Avoid cages advertising a 'medical grade' finish, this is simply an epoxy finish that is expensive and difficult to clean. Exotic Nutrition's cages are made with a heavy powder-coated (thermoplastic) finish, that contains no lead or zinc while remaining easy to clean and super durable. The cage should also be constructed to allow easy access to the inside of the cage for cleaning purposes.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>3) The cage should be secure</b> to prevent any unwanted escapes. Bird cages have many small doors and gaps that make escape easy and imminent for Sugar Gliders. A gliders cage should have one or two <i>large front doors </i>(big enough to place and remove cage accessories) and possibly a few smaller side doors (for quick access to water and feeding dishes). All <i>locks and latches</i> on the cage should be tight and secure, gliders can quickly learn how to open unsecured locks.<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span>
<b>4) The cage should be well-sited</b>, out of the way of fluctuating temperatures and readily accessible for interaction. Sugar Gliders are most comfortable at a temperature slightly higher than room temperature, in the range of <i>70-90 degrees Fahrenheit</i>. A cage should be placed in an easily accessible area of the home, away from direct sunlight and air vents that cause drafts. A <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/cageheaters.html" target="_blank">cage heater</a> may be necessary to keep the cage warm enough for your glider. Gliders are interactive animals, it is best to keep their cage in an open area like a living room where they can quickly bond to you. Because Sugar Gliders are nocturnal animals, <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/cagecovers.html" target="_blank">cage covers</a> can also be used to block out any stray lighting during the day while your glider sleeps.<br />
<br />
<b>5) The cage should be furnished</b> in a way that the glider is both comfortable and can stay entertained while it is alone.There are many ways to furnish a Sugar Glider cage but every cage should have at least a few key items including a <i>nest pouch</i>, <i>exercise wheel</i>, and some type of rope, ladder, or <i>climbing branch</i>. <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/nestpouches.html" target="_blank">Nest pouches</a> provide gliders with a warm, comfortable place to sleep and the pouch-shape mimics the environment that marsupials are born into. <a href="http://www.sugar-glider-store.com/nestingboxes1.html" target="_blank">Nest boxes</a> with bedding can also be used instead of or in addition to nest pouches. We suggest providing multiple options to your glider so that you can remove a pouch for cleaning while still giving your glider a place to rest. A <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/exersizewheels.html" target="_blank">wheel</a> is necessary for any caged pet to allow them to get the proper amount of exercise they need to remain healthy. Exotic Nutrition's <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/siruwh.html" target="_blank">Silent Runner</a> wheel offers a safe, axle-free design that eliminates the possibility of fur or body entanglement while your glider runs on dual ball bearings that provide a smooth and quite spin. In the wild, gliders spend a majority of their time in the tree tops, gliding from branch to branch. Offering climbing apparatus' like <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/roperunners.html" target="_blank">ropes</a>, <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/ladders.html" target="_blank">ladders</a>, or <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/maclbr.html" target="_blank">branches</a> are a MUST for any Sugar Glider cage. Accessories like these help mimic a glider's natural tendencies. Exotic Nutrition offers a wide variety of <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/caac.html" target="_blank">cage accessories</a> like those listed above as well as cage plants, platforms, tunnels and hideaways. <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/suglto.html" target="_blank">Toys</a> are another good addition to any Sugar Glider cage to help keep them stimulated and happy. Foraging toys encourage habits found in the wild by allowing gliders to follow their natural exploratory tendencies while having fun.<br />
<br />
<b>6) The cage should provide ample feeding and drinking facilities. </b>It is important that food and water dishes are readily available for your glider while kept in an area free from urine, feces and other debris. Place them higher up in the cage and near the edges, not under any climbing branches where they can be polluted.<a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/ststcupwho.html" target="_blank"> Stainless steel dishes</a> that hang onto the side of the cage are probably the best option for keeping your glider's food & water uncontaminated while remaining easily accessible for you. Fresh water and a dry pellet diet, like <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/glidercomplete.html" target="_blank">Glider Complete</a>, should be available for your glider at all times (being changed out every 24 hours), while wet food, like <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/instanthpw.html" target="_blank">HPW</a>, should be replaced after 12 hours.<br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">Sugar Gliders are gumivores, meaning they are genetically designed to digest gums and saps. <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/pureacaciagum.html" target="_blank">Acacia gum</a> is a probiotic, </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">soluble fiber which is essential for healthy bowel movements. </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">In the wild, almost 40% of a Sugar Glider's diet consists of acacia gum and other saps, especially during winter months when insects are less available. Acacia gum is high in complex carbohydrates, an important part to a glider's diet. It is also a great supplement for them because they can digest about 90% of the gum, getting the most of it's nutritional value. In the wild, insects makeup another great portion (50%) of a Sugar Glider's diet, which is why Exotic Nutrition has added <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/limede.html" target="_blank">mealworms</a> to </span><i style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Gumivore-fare</i><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">. Mealworms provide the proteins necessary for a complete glider diet.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Exotic Nutrition has created a new product that changes the game of pet exercise wheels. The new </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/siruwh.html" target="_blank">Silent Runner</a> </i><span style="text-align: left;">revolutionizes the idea of the wheel, taking what was already great and making it even better. Before this wheel, there was virtually no wheel that protected pets from harmful axles while also providing an enclosed area with a preferred solid wall back. Exotic Nutrition has listened to the concern from customers and as a result, created this product. Not only does the </span><i style="text-align: left;">Silent Runner</i><span style="text-align: left;"> protect your pet, it also runs on dual <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/rebeforsiru.html" target="_blank">stainless steal ball-bearings</a>, keeping it extremely quiet for you. The durable structure and easy-clean waterproof parts are sure to last the lifetime of your pet. This wheel is conveniently offered with a <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/restsiru12in.html" target="_blank">solid-metal stand</a> and direct <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/sirucaat.html" target="_blank">cage attachment </a>(sold separate). Get all the details and full disclosure below!</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="background-color: white;">What is it?</b><span style="background-color: white;"> The <i>Silent Runner</i> wheel is an innovative pet exercise wheel featuring a safe, solid running surface, silent roller-bearing operation and complete tail & fur safe design. Dual encased ball bearings allow for a smooth, low friction, quiet and smooth glide during use.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-weight: bold;">Is it safe?</b> The axle-free construction eliminates the possibility of tail entanglement, back injury or worse. That means no more center axle that your pet's fur can get caught on. This design has no pinch areas, and the natural 'bean-shaped' openings allow for an easy entrance and exit, The openings will entice pets to enter and run against a preferred solid wall back. The heavy duty (pet-safe powder coated) metal stand allows for give, protecting your pet from joint pain caused by running on hard fixed surface. Running tracks are solid and have a textured interior non-slip surface for excellent grip. The interior bolt head is protected by a smooth snap-on cover. Every <i>Silent Runner</i> Wheel is assembled and tested in the USA.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: bold;">How quiet is it?</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> The simple answer...virtually silent. "Things roll better than they slide." The encased dual stainless steel roller-bearings yield low friction, which provides a smooth roll of the wheel. The bearings fit tightly in the wheel so there is no squeaking.</span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: bold;">Which size do I need?</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> The <i>Silent Runner</i> wheel is available in 3 sizes to suit many small animals. The <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/siruwh9in.html" target="_blank">9 inch</a> size is recommended for Sugar gliders, Hamsters, Siberian hamsters and mice. The <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/siruwh12in.html" target="_blank">12 inch (regular)</a> size is recommended for Sugar Gliders and female Rats, and the<a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/siruwh12inw.html" target="_blank"> 12 inch (wide)</a> size is recommended for Hedgehogs and male rats.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: bold;">What do I get?</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Every wheel comes with a heavy duty (safe) powder coated metal stand that allows for a slight give when in use, protecting your pet from joint damage caused by running on a fixed surface. The rear(back)plate has 2 encased stainless steel bearing sets and the front plate has the 'bean shaped' entry holes. The tracks have 'grip grove texture' on the inner surfaces for ideal traction, and the track is removable for easy cleaning. Approved by veterinarians, the<i> Silent Runner</i> wheels are made to the highest standards in the industry. <i>Silent Runners </i>can be used either free-standing or will attach directly to a wire cage with the optional hardware package (sold separate). Completely washable.</span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: bold;">Will the bearings last?</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b> </b><i>Silent Runner</i> Wheels are made with high quality stainless steel encased sealed bearings. There are two bearing sets per wheel, mounted in the back plate. The bearings are built to last, they are the same type of bearings used in the manufacture of roller skates. If after time, the bearings do need replacing, you can replace the bearings individually(we offer replacements) or you can simply replace the back panel of the wheel, which contains 2 new bearings.</span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: bold;">How do I attach it to the cage side?</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b> </b><i>Silent Runner</i> wheels can be mounted directly to the side of any wire cage, cage mounting does require a 'Cage Attachment Kit' which is sold separate. The Cage Attachment Kit allows you to mount any size <i>Silent Runner</i> wheel to any wire cage. The Cage Attachment kit contains two solid steel plates (powder coated), an longer bolt, aluminum spacer, safety bolt cap and wingnut screw. Mounting is simple and will take about 30 seconds to complete.</span></div>
</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Can I get nail trimming tracks for it?</b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"> Yes, <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/satrtr.html" target="_blank">Sandy Tracks</a> are available for all size <i>Silent Runner</i> Wheels. You can purchase these durable (washable) Sandy Tracks in the <i>Silent Runner</i> section of the website. Sandy tracks are wheel tracks that replace the standard <i>Silent Runner</i> tracks and provide a 'soft sand' abrasive surface that will trim your pets' nails while they run on the wheels.</span></div>

concerns including rear leg paralysis and self-mutilation. Rear leg paralysis
is usually caused from calcium deficiency. Although serious, it is now
considered treatable when caught early.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Symptoms include lethargy or weakness, swollen fingers or toes, shaking,
apparent dizziness or lack of coordination, limping, and loss of use of the
rear legs. All Exotic Nutrition <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/suglfo.html" target="_blank">foods</a> and <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/suglvinesu.html" target="_blank">supplements</a> will provide the calcium
and other ingredients necessary to keep your Sugar Gliders healthy. It is
important to keep in mind that overfeeding calcium also has health risks and
you should always provide your pet with the proper amount of food and treats.
The second health concern, self-mutilation, is usually caused when a Sugar
Glider feels lonely. These are extremely social creatures and while sometimes
human contact is enough to keep them satisfied, other times they crave the
companionship provided by another glider. In many cases, this lack of company
can have a detrimental effect on health in the form of self-inflicted bite
marks. A collar can be used as a temporary measure to prevent biting, but you
should see your vet immediately to determine the cause of the behavior. It is
recommended that gliders are bought in groups of two or more (be cautious of
putting more than one male with one female) in order to prevent under
socialization.</span>Exotic Nutrition pet companyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17697015703529038603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049853941361780099.post-89386928131134404532015-05-14T06:40:00.002-07:002015-05-14T06:40:54.525-07:00Dental Problems Mostly Affecting Small Mammals<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

cause big problems if they aren't cared for properly. The species most affected
by dental issues are Sugar Gliders, Chinchillas, Ferrets, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs,
and Gerbils. Signs of dental problems include, but are not limited to: refusing
food, drooling, only eating soft food, smaller or less frequent stools, and
picking up food then dropping it. If the teeth grow in and align properly, they
should never overgrow. While having something to <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/heprdogtr.html" target="_blank">gnaw on</a> is good and
simulating, it is not essential to health. A healthy diet is the most important
part. Providing <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/haysgrasses.html" target="_blank">hay</a> for animals such as chinchillas, rabbits, guinea pigs, and
gerbils is absolutely essential because it is a staple to their diet. It is
necessary for not only the teeth, but also the digestive tract. Misalignment of
any tooth can lead to overgrowth, impaction, sharp points, or tooth root
abscess. This can be painful and lead to other problems, including
gastrointestinal issues caused by a lack of eating. Bring your pet to the vet
immediately if you suspect any type of dental problem.

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyW5hV5kkN-CN-XgvNJJHSuRFd6w7wzr7GJN55P2MHNfGh0lHTx_gGCSLjN-55RRKUDHSnixpBWcsbH3ZtUIlsvbMr-2exmiHUFRehk52yU2sT8NEysJMDsG7Y5Rf9OeDvAeJbT8GZHYI/s1600/skunk.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyW5hV5kkN-CN-XgvNJJHSuRFd6w7wzr7GJN55P2MHNfGh0lHTx_gGCSLjN-55RRKUDHSnixpBWcsbH3ZtUIlsvbMr-2exmiHUFRehk52yU2sT8NEysJMDsG7Y5Rf9OeDvAeJbT8GZHYI/s1600/skunk.jpg" height="210" width="320" /></a></div>
Welcoming a pet skunk into your home means accepting all the
responsibilities that come with this furry creature. Skunks are generally hardy
pets that can live 6-8 years or longer. By the time a skunk begins to show signs
of sickness, the illness may already be in an advanced stage and difficult to
treat. This is why it is important that you remain vigil toward your pet's
health and provide it with the attention and care it desires. Medications and
vaccines have not been developed or tested specifically for skunks, but educated
veterinarians can help provide your pet with the care it needs. The<a href="http://www.aemv.org/" target="_blank"> Association of Exotic Mammal Veterinarians</a> lists veterinarians with expertise in exotic animal medicine. <br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
While some health issues are genetic and cannot be
controlled, you can control the most important factors that help insure that
your skunk can live a long and happy life: diet, housing, environment,
exercise, social enrichment, and health care. Many skunk illnesses are a result
of improper diet. Exotic Nutrition provides a <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/rps02.html" target="_blank">Premium Skunk Diet</a> that is
nutritionally balanced and contains all the essential nutrients your pet skunk
needs. As a skunk owner, you should be aware of the four most common health
concerns for pet skunks: obesity, cardiomyopathy, fatty liver disease, and
viral diseases. </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
1) Obesity is caused by eating a diet too high in fat or by
overeating. Look for signs of obesity shown by physical appearance, lethargy,
and difficulty walking. You can prevent obesity by not overfeeding, providing a
diet that is high in protein and low in fat, encouraging activity, and by
weighing your pet weekly to ensure it maintains a healthy weight. </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
2) Signs of cardiomypathy, or heart disease, include
shortness of breath, coughing, weakness, lethargy, lack of appetite and
eventual weight loss. While no cure exists, treatment can help improve the
quality of life and help prolong life. </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
3) Fatty liver disease, or hepatic lipidosis, is another
common illness seen in skunks. Signs of hepatic lipidosis include anorexia,
rapid weight loss, lethargy, vomiting, weakness, and jaundice. Treatment
options include a supportive diet and possibly fluids and supplements. </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
4) Skunks are susceptible to many viral diseases like
rabies, canine hepatitis and more commonly, canine distemper. We recommend
vaccination against canine distemper with Purevax, especially for skunks that
travel with you outside of the home. Signs of canine distemper include weight
loss, hardening of the footpads, pus discharge from the eyes and nose, fever,
seizures and other nervous system problems. </div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
While many of these health issues are related to weight, it
is important to remember that crash diets are dangerous and must be avoided.
Any dietary changes for your pet should be slow and gradual. Always remember
that the best healthcare you can provide for your pet is preventative health
care. <em>Preventing</em> problems is much easier and less expensive than treating them.

<h1 style="margin: 0.67em 0in;">
<span style="color: #6b4200; font-family: Verdana; font-size: medium;">Introducing new foods to Sugar Gliders</span></h1>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 9.0pt;">How to introduce new foods into your Sugar Gliders
diet.</span></b><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 9pt;"><br />
<br />
Sugar gliders can be, and typically are finicky eaters. Not all Sugar gliders
will adapt to eating new foods the first time they are offered. The Sugar
gliders age, and present diet can be determining factors. Most Sugar gliders
adapt to new diets immediately, but if your glider is reluctant, we list
several techniques to make the transition. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 9.0pt;">First ...</span></b><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 9pt;"> it is important that you do not
allow your Sugar glider to 'fill-up' on treats, fruits or vegetables. Although
the fruits and vegetables are quality foods, they do not contain the necessary
proteins, fats or other essentials that a Sugar gliders will need in their
diet. If your Glider fills up on these other foods, they will not be hungry
enough to eat a balanced diet. Many times Sugar gliders will not show interest
in new foods when they have plenty of treats and fruits available to eat.
Withhold these 'sweet' treats for a few days ... allow your Glider to get hungry,
then they will be less reluctant to try new foods.<br />
<br />
Sugar gliders are hardy animals, they typically will not starve themselves.
When they are hungry enough, they will eat the foods available, if you do not
allow them to get hungry enough, then they will just wait for you to offer
something different. If you are continuing to supply foods that they 'like' to
eat when trying a new diets ... then your Glider(s) will wait for you to bring
them the food they are used to eating, rather than be willing to try new foods.
You have to be persistent and withhold all of the old diet, supply only the new
diet for 2-3 days. When they get hungry enough, they will try the new foods and
get used to eating them on a regular basis within a week.<br />
<br />
<b>How to introduce Exotic Nutrition foods to your Sugar Gliders' diet.</b><br />
<br />
Suggested Method: Offer <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/instanthpw.html" target="_blank">Instant-HPW</a> along with the present diet. Instant-HPW is
a great tasting, highly nutritious Sugar glider food that can be offered along
with the pellet diet, it is flavored with honey and pure vanilla beans (sugar
gliders love these flavors). Typically, Sugar gliders will immediately take to
a pellet diet when it is offered in conjunction with <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/instanthpw.html" target="_blank">Instant-HPW</a>.<br />
<br />
<b>Gradual Method</b><br />
<br />
Over a 7 day period fill your Sugar Gliders food dish 1/4 full several times a
day maintaining the following proportions of the old and new diet.<br />
<br />
Day 1 - 90% old diet & 10% new diet<br />
<br />
Day 2 - 80% old diet & 20% new diet<br />
<br />
Day 3 - 70% old diet & 30% new diet<br />
<br />
Day 4 - 50% old diet & 50% new diet<br />
<br />
Day 5 - 25% old diet & 75% new diet<br />
<br />
Day 6 - 10% old diet & 90% new diet<br />
<br />
Day 7 - 0% old diet & 100 % new diet<br />
<br />
<b>Sweetening Method</b><br />
<br />
Add 1/2 teaspoon of honey to the <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/glidercomplete.html" target="_blank">pellets</a>, each day cutting back the amount of
honey added until you are feeding with-out honey. <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/gliderade.html" target="_blank">Gliderade nectar</a> supplement can
be used in place of honey if desired, but Instant-HPW is recommended over
Gliderade due to it's higher nutritional value.<br />
<br />
<b>Please remember ....</b> Just because your glider may not eat a new food the
first day that you offer it, doesn't mean that your Glider won't adapt to the
new diet in a short period of time. Do not replace the new food with another
food .... until you have offered the new food for a 48 hour period. Let your
Glider get hungry ... then see if they try a new food.<br clear="all" style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><strong>5 Myths
About Hedgehogs</strong></span><o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;">1.
Hedgehogs are related to porcupines: False. Hedgehogs and porcupines are very
different. Hedgehogs are classified as insectivores and porcupines are rodents.
Hedgehog "quills" are actually modified hairs that, while sharp, are
short and firmly attached to the hedgehog.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;">2. Hedgehogs
carry diseases: False. African hedgehogs harbor no more diseases than any other
indoor pet animal and, because they are generally kept in a small space, are
less likely to transmit illness.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;">3.
Hedgehogs can be releases "into the wild": Wrong. African hedgehogs
must be kept warm at all times (72 degrees fahrenheit or higher) and will
perish from exposure if "released".</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;">4.
Hedgehog breeding is easy and profitable: Not the case. Special skills are
required to be a conscientious hedgehog breeder, and uninformed breeding
presents very real dangers to both mother and babies.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;">5. African hedgehogs are
"pygmies": False. The term "pygmy" was attached to imported
Central African and Algerian hedgehogs by pet wholesalers in North America so
as to differentiate them from their slightly larger British and European
cousins. Actually, there is considerable weight overlap between these species.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

of your hedgehog, you are responsible for giving it the most welcoming and well
equipped home as possible. This means providing a continuous supply of fresh water,
healthy food, and a comfortable as well as stimulating environment. <br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>We suggest
using a <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/difewa.html" target="_blank">water bowl</a> for hedgehogs that cannot easily use a hanging metal-straw
water bottle, although both need to be changed regularly. In the world of
hedgehogs, running and staying healthy go hand in hand. In the wild, they run
around 5 miles as part of their regular, nightly routine. As with any pet, the
more space you can provide, the better...although a minimum of 3 square feet of
floor space is recommended. See our website for <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/hedgehogcages.html" target="_blank">cages</a> made specifically for hedgehogs. In addition to floor space, a solid <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/exersizewheels.html" target="_blank">running wheel</a>
is considered a necessity for pet hedgehogs. As they are nocturnal, most of
this running and playtime will be done at night while you, their loving owner,
are sleeping. </div>

the overlapping hours when both you and your hedgehog are awake, it is
important to have contact with him/her in order to build a relationship. Feeding
your pet <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/hehetr.html" target="_blank">treats</a>, such as mealworms, is a fun experience for you, as well as a
tasty for your hedgie. Be careful with how many treats you are handing out per
day...a hedgehog's diet should consist mostly of a high quality protein-enriched <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/hedgehogfoods.html" target="_blank">food</a>. Fatty treats should always come second and be limited. Simply handling
your pet with direct skin-to-skin contact is a great way to bond with it,
petting it from front to back along the natural line of quill placement.
Hedgehog's will generally roll up for security in an instance of fear, but you
should be able to stroke your hedgehog's chin once it gains trust in you. As
with all pets, you must be patient with your little creature, trust is earned
overtime and cannot be rushed.</span>Exotic Nutrition pet companyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17697015703529038603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049853941361780099.post-6612919195841964442014-08-18T06:25:00.000-07:002014-08-18T06:25:02.687-07:00Playing with your Sugar Glider<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It is completely fine to handle your Glider during the
day, as long as you let it curl up and sleep in either a <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/nepocapo.html" target="_blank">bonding pouch</a>, pocket,
or back in it's cage once it starts to get tired. Letting your Glider loose in
a room to play can be extremely entertaining to watch. It's important that this
freedom is only allowed for tame Gliders that have gotten used to their
surroundings and are willing to return back to their cage once finished
playing. Simply open the door of the cage in the evening or at night and watch
your Glider explore the room. Supervision is a <strong>must </strong>because they can easily
escape outside, into a vent, or drown in any standing water. You can try to
teach your pet to glide to you by placing it in a high area, then encouraging
it down onto your hand using a<a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/suglhetr.html" target="_blank"> treat</a>. Once your Glider catches on to the game,
you can gradually move farther and farther away so that it has to leap, then
eventually glide to reach you.

A clean cage is the first step towards a clean and healthy pet. You should spot clean your cage once a day, washing any high-traffic areas that are soiled. <br />
<br />
The entire cage should be cleaned once a week with a cleaning solution, such as <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/newkakl16.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #674400;">Kage Kleen</span></a>. Make sure your animal(s) are removed from the cage and don't get lost while they're out. Try one of our <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/travelcages.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #674400;">travel cages</span></a> to keep them comfortably enclosed. <br />
<br />
Food and water <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/difewa.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #674400;">dishes</span></a> must be kept thoroughly clean, try using a <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/enlx691.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #674400;">bottle brush</span></a>, and <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/cagebedding.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #674400;">nesting material</span></a> should be changed regularly. <br />
<br />
A seemingly easy rule is many times forgotten, despite its importance; always wash your hands before and after handling your pet or it's cage accessories. Besides keeping your pet healthy, this will help prevent the spread of disease from your animals to the rest of your house.Exotic Nutrition pet companyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17697015703529038603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049853941361780099.post-91402802171314202412014-08-05T09:00:00.000-07:002014-08-05T09:00:15.673-07:00Bonding with your Baby Prairie Dog<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">Prairie dogs are very social
animals who thrive off of love and attention. Obtaining your prairie dog while
it's still a pup is the best way to grow a strong and close connection with it.
As it begins to recognize you as it's owner, it will become more comfortable
and affectionate. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"></span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">Attention is a MUST when caring
for prairie dogs. If they don't have their socialization needs met they can
become depressed, grow sick, and die. Deciding whether you have enough time to
devote to these animals is an important decision before getting them. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">If you have only one prairie dog,
you will be it's main source of attention and affection. It will be easy to
bond with your pet when you can focus on each other. If you have multiple dogs,
they will spend more time bonding with each other and rely less on their owner.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">Trust is an important part of the
bonding experience. Prairie dogs are wild animals that may feel frightened in
our loud human world. Keeping your pup warm and secure while holding it will
help them feel safe and comfortable.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">Besides simply holding your
prairie dog, you can bond with it through play or feeding. These animals love
to run through tunnels and chew on hard materials. Make sure all <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/prdogcaac.html" target="_blank">toys</a> are
nontoxic and enduring; try a hard wood, strong rope, or even denim material.
Feeding your pup by hand is an excellent way to bond, just be careful not to
over-feed. Prairie dogs are complete vegetarians, so they'll love some Timothy
hay to nibble on. <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/heprdogtr.html" target="_blank">Treats</a> should be limited to once per day.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

dog, or any pet for that matter, will take much patience and time. You cannot
rush the process or expect immediate results, but with persistent care your
pup will sure to become your best friend over time.</span>Exotic Nutrition pet companyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17697015703529038603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049853941361780099.post-22183866645726386192014-07-30T10:00:00.001-07:002014-07-30T10:01:59.495-07:00Food Basics for your Sugar Glider<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

sweet foods, but actually they are omnivores (plant and animal eaters). In the
wild, sugar gliders eat a variety of foods. In captivity, sugar gliders should
be provided a balanced, varied and fresh diet to keep them healthy. Sugar
gliders often overeat sweets and fattening foods, then can become overweight - leading to medical complications related to obesity. Fruits have a lot of
natural sugars, which is why you must limit the amount you feed to your
glider(s). Treats include mealworms and other insects, nuts, yogurt drops and
dried fruit. <a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/suglhetr.html" target="_blank">Treats</a> are not necessary in maintaining sugar glider health, but
they are a great tool to use with bonding! Treats, fruits and vegetables should
make up no more than 20% of your pets diet while the rest is filled with a
<a href="http://www.exoticnutrition.com/suglfo.html" target="_blank">staple dry/wet food</a>. Freshness is key to a healthy diet; because we don't use preservatives, follow these guidelines indefinitely:</span><br />
