Home Flea Control For Cats And Dogs - How To

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

A flea outbreak within the home can be of great concern, not only to our faithful friends, but to us as well. When a flea bites humans it can cause inflammation of the skin and generally make us feel run down, not to mention the embarrassment it can cause when visitors come around.

When controlling fleas most people generally fall into two traps. Firstly, they’ll buy products which only kill the adult rather than the eggs and the larvae. In order to disrupt the life-cycle of the flea they need be killed at source.

Housing A Bearded Dragon

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

Bearded Dragons need a large enough habitat to allow for a variety of distances from the heat source. A glass aquarium is recommended for security, ease of maintenance, and pet viewing. To avoid the expense of multiple habitats as your pet grows to adulthood, consider using a partition that can be easily adjusted. This way, throughout the life of the pet, you can use a single large aquarium, 55-70 gallons.

The white melamine is a material that keeps the cage very bright which is important for stimulating a dragon’s appetite. The light (and the UVB) stays inside the cage rather than escaping through the glass sides of an aquarium. Glass fronts will allow the dragon to check out their world and interact with you.
