Goldendoodles

Goldendoodles are one of the "designer breeds" that claim to be hypoallergenic. But the truth is that most people are allergic to the dander of animals, not the hair or fur. And ALL dogs will have dander even the poodle, labradoodle, goldendoodle, and various other poodle mixes. And, yes they are mixes as very few breeders have a confirmed characteristic of the "breed," and until that day, to most people they will still be considered a mix breed dog.

Miniature Pets

Miniature Pets can range from the cute little one pound chihuhuas or the three feet tall cattle. Miniature pets are great for those people who want the characteristics of the normal sized animal, but just don't quite have the room. Example being that a person with two acres of land may not be able to have a herd of goats, but they could have a herd of miniature goats or cattle or horses.

An apartment dwelling family may not be able to have a standarad poodle in their apartment, but a miniature poodle, toy poodle, or teacup poodle, would all fit in just fine.

Housing Rats

SO, you've decided to let a rat into your heart and home. Now, to choose the proper cage before you actually bring the little critter home. It's best to go ahead and have the cage at home so you don't have to let the rat sit in his take home box for too long.

Choosing a rat cage is actually fairly simple. There are three basic designs- aquarium, plastic, or wire. Make sure that you have a solid floor on the cage to prevent bumble foot.

Fill the cage with toys and proper bedding. To make your rat healthy and happy.

Fancy Rats

Pet Rats consider all the options, even consider whether you would prefer a pet mouse. Consider the time, money, and space that you have. Research fancy rats, their housing, treats, games and toys, and even find a list of the signs and symptoms of illnesses for rats. You want to make sure that you consider every possibility before bringing a new pet home.

From personal experience, I love my pet rats, and wouldn't have it any other way. They live in a 4 foot tall wire cage with a solid bottom. They receive fresh and dried fruits as treats, as well as a few seeds, nuts, and yogurt treats.

The only difference with pet rats and most small animal pets, is that because they are so intelligent, you will have to make sure that they are not left without toys, as they will get bored easily. Entertain their brains!!
