I recently had to clean out the filter in the nursery tank full of shrimp. When I opened it up, I found about a dozen tiny baby shrimp actually living in the filter. Shrimp are pretty resilient little animals and they seemed to be doing just fine in there, but I'm not sure how long they would last...

Fish can be very hard to care for at times. There are many diseases that fish can contract which will put your whole ecosystem in jeopardy. That's exactly what happened to my 55 gallon fish tank. One of my fish was apparently sick when I brought it home, but I really couldn't tell for a while...

I must be a rotten cat mama! It never even occurred to me that it might be a bladder problem. I thought it had something to do with the dog we got last year, but it's been almost a year now since we got the dog...whom Tony still detests! I'm taking him for his shots Saturday morning, and I'll...

We adopted Tony from our vet's office almost four years ago. He was a beautiful, mellow little gray-striped kitty, just right for our then 4-year-old little boy. But the problems started on day two when Tony woke up with crusty eyes. I immediately took him back to the vet's office, where the...

A couple of pics from when Cole was a baby, about six to eight weeks old. Oh-so-cute baby bunny. So tiny! A handful of bunny. And some current pictures - Cole is NO Dwarf Rabbit, that's for sure! Cole on his harness, relaxing after running around like crazy. ;-) Stretched out in his cage. Relaxed...

Speaking of my favorite bunny buddy, I just have to said (completely unbiased, of course) that Cole is the cutest animal. As I'm going back and forth between doing computer work and housework (oh, the joys of laundry....lol), he's just chilling out in his cage, looking so cute. He actually lays...

Last night I set up a 10 gallon fish tank to accommodate all the fish that have been breeding in my tank lately. I set it up much like my 55 gallon tank, but changed a few of its features to make it better for the baby fish. I added a lot of shelter to the tank. Most species of Fish are notorious for...

Now that it's finally summer, the conditions are just right for making toads glow in the dark. I used to do this a lot when I was a kid and I had so much fun with it. You can actually make a toad's stomach light up and flash green if you can pull this off. Sometimes it's a bit hard to get...

Fancy-tailed guppies usually come in a few fairly basic color groups, the most common of which are predominantly green, blue, or red. There are certain patterns and traits that are typical among each color group, so when you breed guppies of different colors, you might end up mixing both colors and patterns...

Hey, at least you ain't got no algae growin' on your back like a sloth. I mean, if I got algae on my back, I don't know what I'd do! Maybe I'd scrub it off with a loofa in the shower. But then I'd have to take showers.
