Rabbits are my favorite!! I have a little rabbit named Momiji, these are the things that he seems to enjoy most and some things that make my life easier caring for him 💕 I want to say also, I see a lot of products aimed at rabbits that are NOT meant for them, like yogurt drops. Please research before you buy anything for them even if it says for rabbits!

My gray cat Frank is spoiled rotten by all the toys, food and treats I pick up for him. These are the things that Frank loves and we use on a regular basis. Yes, I spoil my cat, but he's worth it.

A list of things a new budgie owner will need to give their bird a happy life! (ONLY for budgies and not any other birds). If you get your budgie from a pet store (Pet Co, PetSmart, etc.) or from a bird breeder, make sure to give them the same food they've been eating before introducing new foods or healthier options. Budgies are very sensitive and you will need to give up things you love. For example, I had to give up perfumes, candles, regular cleaners, bleach and nonstick pans. If you aren't willing to give these up, please do not get a budgie. Sometimes budgies will see shadows or have night frights, they can fly around in panic and hurt themselves. To prevent this cover the cage with a thin blanket or towel and leave a small light so they will be able to see if they do panic. For the first 1-3 days, leave them alone, they need time to get used to the new environment. Treat them with care and don't chase or grab them. I recommend getting two budgies even though it might be a little bit harder to train them. If you do not have time to constantly spend with them, get another budgie. Doing research, a week or two prior to getting a budgie is a great choice. If you need tips or help, I recommend watching the Budgie Academy! Tail bobbing, whole body moving as the bird breathes, vomiting or weakness, please take it to the vet or an Avian specialist.
