I’m probably getting a budgie around christmas time, and I need to know what cage is the best for budgies and what it’s called. Also, can you recommend toys and if any of you have gotten a bird at petsmart, tell me the process that they do there.
Thanks!

How do I get my dog to accept his crate?

For the first 2 weeks my 3 m/o puppy didn’t do too bad with his crate training. Whined for a minute or 2 then stopped and slept. For a few days he didn’t even whine. The last 2 days, however, he has to be pushed into the crate and barks and howls for seemingly endless amounts of time. Any ideas?
he’s got toys and sometimes a biscuit or 2…doesn’t pay attention to them…haven’t tried the clock yet tho

Nylabone: Okay for puppy to chew on it a lot?

We have a 10 week old Black Lab German Shepherd mix puppy. We have given her many toys, but the one thing she consistently likes is the Nylabone toy. We were going to just give it to her at night, but since she is teething, she wants to chew on us all the time. Is it okay to just let her chew on the Nylabone most of the day or can this be a bad thing? Thanks in advance!

Other than cage and ferret start-up costs, I mean what kind of medical care do they need/what price range is it in? What kind of litter and bedding are best for them? What diet is best? What toys do they like? We’re considering adopting a ferret but I don’t want to be like the new puppy and kitten owners in my clinic who come in saying "I had no idea their vet care would cost this much." Any words of wisdom?

I have given up getting my APBT toys, they are gone within 5min. at most. Even bought him a rubber tire/toy that took 10min. to chew up, longest any toy has ever lasted. Now all he gets is bones to chew on. Has anyone found a good toy or something used as a toy that lasts a little while, even with a dog with a jaw like mine?

Anyone know of a durable chew toy?

My 8 month old whippet husky x can chew through anything SO quickly. I am trying to find some toys for her that will last more than a few hours. So far all I can find are tennis balls, nylon dental bones, and this one stuffed animal she randomly decided not to chew.

Every time my family is gone we always put him in a crate. (he is not potty trained yet, he 5 months.) Then he starts crying. I give him a treat but it doesn’t work.. Is there a way to make the crate enjoyable for him.. P.S. ..in case your gonna say one of those toys you put peanut butter in, he doesn’t like peanut butter…so now what?
