Tips For Your Pets Make your own pet beds
instead of buying those expensive ones!
A little material sewn together with a zipper on the side, filled
with your choice of stuffing (we used some animal bedding because it
smells fresh) makes an easy to clean pet bed! Fish
love cooked egg yolks. And
it really gives a "boost" to those little baby fish. Have a hermit
crab? Paint your own
shells for them! Use any
kind of acrylic paint and then coat the entire shell with nail polish
when you're finished! It's
non-toxic. Place a
dryer sheet under dog beds or in their "room" to keep
it extra fresh. (place them
where they can't be found and destroyed!) If your
child wants a pet and you don't, opt for freshwater fish, turtle
or hermit crab. All can be
cheap, easy to care for and don't make too much of a mess.
(We love our guppies). Get
urine out of the carpeting: mix
1 tablespoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon of dish soap, and 16 oz of hydrogen
peroxide. Be careful,
because this can bubble up and make a mess. To keep
your baby fish from being sucked up into your filter or to avoid
having to buy another tank for them, place a nylon over the filter.
This will keep them out and still filter the water. To clean
algae off tank plants, soak them in a tub of water and bleach for 15
minutes and then rinse well with water.
Voila! No scrubbing! Give
your pets a bath with your own shampoo.
They don't need all that fancy stuff.
And if your pet has longer, matteable hair, a little conditioner
goes a long way (this is obviously not any form of medical advice - talk
with your own vet first). Hamsters
and gerbils love to chew on any kind of cardboard, especially toilet
paper rolls! I have a wall hanging that holds a glass cylinder and a candle. I took out the candle and put my betta fish inside it. What a neat surprise for my guests and the kids love to watch it swim around! To get rid of that nasty wet dog smell on a rainy day - wipe your buddy down with a used dryer sheet to keep him smelling nice. To keep pets from chewing on electrical cords, rub them with a dry bar of soap.
