Dangers of Hybridizing Lions & Tigers
July 22, 2008 by Kimberly · Leave a Comment
I was unaware of the intense problems that occur when hybridizing lions and tigers.
I have heard of ligers and tigons and even seen photos, and everything looks hunky dory, but behind the scenes we need to know what is going on with these albeit beautiful animals.
Check out this video to find out to get informed:
If we don’t speak up and spread the word, who will? These animals cannot speak for themselves, except through their suffering! That’s not fair and the entire thing is unnatural.
Spread the word, this post and the video above to others to educate them about this issue too!

So Many Choices – Toys & Accessories for Exotic Parrots
July 12, 2008 by Kimberly · 2 Comments
I am floored at how many toys and accessories I see at pet stores and online from pet suppliers. The possibilities are endless!
However, I completely understand how an exotic pet owner likes to spoil their special adopted friend! My hedgehog doesn’t even really play with toys, but I have a ton of them for her anyway, just in case…LOL…
But, I know from experience that exotic birds and parrots are very playful, intelligent and need constant mental stimulation.
When you get an exotic bird for a pet, these are the things you must think about purchasing.
I “stumbled upon” a great site today, WindyCityParrot.com, that has everything you could possibly want or need for your fine, feathered friend…
Firstly, you need a great bird cage for your exotic bird. Please allow for ample space for your bird to move around in, especially if they are still capable of flying…They are birds!!!
Next on the list is a great parrot food and parrot treats…Exotic birds actually seem to have a lot of fun with their food. They play with it, hold it with their feet, sift through it to see exactly what they want…Too cute! However, a wide variety of food that they natively eat is ideal. Fruits, berries, nuts, seeds are all included…
What’s next, other than enhancements for their living space like perches and stands, etc.? Well, Parrot Toys of course!
These babies are what will keep your baby busy! They will keep them alert, interested, happy, playful and out of the business of making messes and partaking in destructive behavior around your home.
Birds see in color, so get them something lively with different textures, noises and other things to do. They like to climb on their toys…My budgies LOVED mirrors! They would sit for hours in front of the mirror wondering if the bird they saw was playing a trick on them by imitating everything they did.
If that’s not enough fun stuff to peruse, you can even check out the travel cages…These are really cool. I never thought of traveling with my bird before, but this would make it much simpler and safer than other methods I’ve seen. I suppose these cages would be ideal for moves with your parrot.

When On Vacation, Don’t Let The Bed Bugs Bite!
July 6, 2008 by Kimberly · 2 Comments
Exotic Animal Newsflash:
Yikes…How gross is that? Right?
Well, I was on a friend’s blog today, SunEGrl Loves To Shop, and she was talking about a rise of incidents in Hotels and on Cruise Ships since 2004.
I guess, it doesn’t matter if you’re staying at a 2-star hotel or a 5-star hotel, it is just as likely that you could be staying in an infested place!
Yuk! I bet you thought that Bed Bugs feed off filthy, dead skin or human waste, right? Wrong!
Oh, No!!! What attracts them then?
Well, they like exhaled carbon dioxide…And as we all know, we can’t change what we exhale. So, they like where we, humans, are!
Is that it? What do they eat then? Well, contrary to popular belief, they feed on our blood, not on waste, dead skin cells, or dirt.
Scientific Classification:
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Insecta
Order: Hemiptera
Suborder: Heteroptera
Family: Cimicidae
Now, bed bugs are a nocturnal insect, meaning they come “out” at night, or are more active at night-time.

Fire Ants in Southern United States
July 5, 2008 by Kimberly · Leave a Comment
If you have never been bit by a fire ant…You don’t want to…
I was in Dallas a few weeks ago, and I still have a little bump from where I was bit by a single fire ant, also called red ants, by the pool.
I am not kidding!
They call them fire ants because it burns when you are bit by them. They pack a wallop! Problem is, you usually don’t get hit by just one. You probably stepped in an ant mound without even knowing it!
They are super quick, and all swarm up your legs, or whatever body part is touching the ground, and bite you. It feels like fire all over.
When I played softball at Texas A&M, and at McNeese State University, we came across the same problems, sometimes even on the field.
Our dog, Kaptain, when he was a puppy, stepped in a fire ant while he was outside, and we happened to be watching him closely and ran over to grab him. Before we could pick him up, in about 1 second, they were all the way up his legs. We quickly brushed them off without one getting to his skin to bite him. This just goes to show how quick they are!
What to do? Stay Read more
