I've got a few questions. First my two birds are having a hard time bonding with me how do I fix that? Second I think my hamster needs a bigger cage, picture below, 3rd my leopard gecko has a heating Rock does that mean I can leave his light off dur
Thanks for reaching out. Sound like you have a full house. 1. Birds will often bond together but continue to work with them in a quiet environ, offering treats to win and re-enforce trust. Toys, the radio or tv, can all assist with boredom. Setting up foraging toys so birds need to spend time looking for food. 2. There is no such thing as too big a cage. 3. Heating rocks are rarely approved for use, as they will eventually become faulty and get too hot, potentially damaging the animal. A heat lamp is recommended. 4. The bunny's litter box should be spot cleaned daily and full clean weekly. If you can smell it you waited too long. Good luck.

What are the legal requirements neccesary to keep birds, reptiles in a domestic situation? In new zealand
I would check with MPI for these legal requirements. There are certain animals that cannot be imported into the country due to biosecurity, and depending on which bird or reptile you want to keep, there will be different legal requirements.

I am in hopes someone can help me!! My dogs found a turtle in my backyard, and I am curious of its species. Can someone identify what it's species is? And if decided to keep as a pet, what is the best care for the little thing?
Thank you for using Boop by Petco. This appears to be a box turtle. Please do not keep this turtle as a pet, In most states it is illegal to do so, beyond that it is very difficult to provide adequate housing and nutrition for wild reptiles. Many species of box turtle are endangered or vulnerable due to human interference. http://www.boxturtles.com/box-turtle-conservation/ If interested in a turtle for a pet, I recommend you search for local reptile or turtle rescues in your area. box turtles and other species can live up to 50 years in captivity, so need a long-term commitment. But often end up in rescue when people can’t take care of them there entire lives

I went back to petsmart where I bought my chameleon, asked for the information on it like sex, age, hatch date, etc. And they said they had no information at all and couldn't contact the people they got it from. I'm furious and very mad; is there any
Not all states have laws on the books pertaining to animal Care. There may be consumer protection laws that may give you recourse. At most, you may get a refund of purchase price or another chameleon. You would need to contact your state consumer protection board, the Better Business Bureau or PetSmart corporate offices.

We purchased this bearded dragon from a local pet store. As I have researching proper care for him, I have noticed that he may in fact be a Rankins dragon. I am just curious as to what he is so we can provide proper care and housing for him. Thank yo
It is difficult to say for sure what type of dragon you may have. If this is a baby then it very well could just be a bearded dragon. Rankin dragons are usually smaller when they are fully grown that a bearded dragon. I would buy an enclosure big enough for a bearded dragon to be safe. Also, I would feed and treat it as if it is a bearded dragon. It is going to be less likely that you got a Rankin dragon from a local pet store. From my understanding, you have to seek out a Rankin dragon breeder to be sure you are getting this type of dragon. I hope this helps!
