Well, my new gecko and possibly 3 new hedgies will be here soon enough hopefully. When I have a more solid idea of what hedgies we're getting and when my gecko gets here, I'll be sure to post pics

Looking forward to pics

I don't have any little critters right now, but I'm sure enjoying everyone's pictures of theirs!

This morning I came home with 2 new baby hamsters! A dove banded (grey) and a tortoiseshell(black with brown speckles). I could not resist!

The two new girls got home yesterday. Seem to be settling in well, still no names.

She licked her face then dug in the shavings. The dust turned to mush all over her

The new gecko I got the other day, Emerine/Redstripe cross male, Tyko.

Hedgies and geckos! Very cute. I love the colors.

Chicken Whisperer, I'm curious how hedgies breed?

Most people are

You just simply put the male and female together. They have their own "courtship rituals" they go through. After he wins her over (which can take a long time), she allows him to mount by laying her quills flat and pushing her rump in the air. After that he's safe and does his duty. Though, sometimes you gotta watch them as they could end up fighting. Conception rates usually aren't all that great and it takes multiple tries.

Flo-jo, Russian tortoise (about the size of a large grapefruit).


Flossie the hedgehog. She was opening up to eat that kibble on her belly.


Willie, the African spur-thighed tortoise. 4 years old and 20 lbs.


Pair of button quail. The speckled female is taking a dust bath.
