Hello, all!
My tortoise, Ollivander, is a rescue, and for both the previous owner and myself, he refuses to eat anything but Romaine lettuce. No kale, no blueberries, no strawberries, no mustard greens. I want to feed him better, but he just won't.
I have a bearded dragon and a rabbit that...
Hello, all!
I had an idea for my Russian tortoise, Ollivander. I'm soon going to be moving to a larger home, and will have room for a larger enclosure for him. Something I had in mind was to build something that has a removable front wall, and a ramp in and out, so that I can leave it open when...
Hello, all!
I was looking at Ollivander's beak and thought it might need to be trimmed. I got him from the previous owner, and while he was generally well kept, I feel this may have escaped her notice. Or, maybe I am catastrophising... Anyways, here's a couple pictures. My bunny, Hermione, can...
Hello, all!
So, I took Ollivander out of his enclosure this afternoon and followed him as he rambled around my house, to make sure he didn't get into mischief. Boooooy, was that a good idea! Not because he got into mischief, but because comedy /gold/ ensued.
So, I have a cat, Autumn, who is a...
Call me Arirang- I don't do social media and never give out my real name online ;) Call me old-fashioned, too.
The origin of the name Arirang is an old Korean folk tune that I particularly enjoy. I'm learning Korean, and it's the first song I learned.
And a particularly breathtaking modern...
I actually think I like the name Ollivander best. I can call him Olive or Ollie for short. I just thought of it spur-of-the-moment as I was writing that list down.
I am going to be taking some more soon. The only one right now is kinda derpy-looking.
He does have a chipped shell and a healing gash on his elbow. Poor guy's been through a lot :(
I do enjoy The Firebird by Stravinsky, but the inspiration comes from Igor Karkaroff. As I'm sure you probably deduced, I'm a /slight/ Harry Potter fan.
Hello, all!
First, a little about me- otherwise youd stop reading after the bit about the babies. I am 22, male, and love animals. I work full-time at PetSmart and part time at Yankee Candle Company, and I love gaming, reading, and am fiddling around with woodcarving. I have thirteen pets, if...
Maybe at some- we're not a perfect company and no one is. My store gets small individuals and they usually sell in a week or less. Fun fact: Pet stores are not all the horrible things PETA would make you believe. They're actually typically run by people who love animals.
I have been shortlisted for a reptile rescue in my area and no longer am looking- when they get a tortoise and I take possession, I will be posting an intro. Can't wait to formally meet you all! ^_^
I just got shortlisted for a reptile rescue in my area, so I am no longer interested. I'll post an introduction as soon as the rescue gets a tortoise and I take possession, and you'll see that I was in earnest.
A little insulting, but I can sympathize with wanting what's best for the animal. If you like, I can upload pictures of all of my other pets- I was waiting on an introduction thread until I actually got a tortoise.
Not my pet store. Granted, the tank is too small for adults, but we sell them a lot younger, and on the rare occasions one gets too big to be sold, it is generally adopted out to an associate (like I said, rare, or I wouldn't be asking lol). It really is a good setup for them and we know what...
Hello, all!
I am looking to get my first tortoise. I am an experienced pet and reptile keeper, but have never had any chelonians before. I definitely cannot take a Sulcata or any other giant breeds. I have a veterinarian who sees exotics, and a tank all but ready and waiting. I am in the...
