Welcome to Forestal's Family Pets Page

This page is currently a work in progress (and it probably always will be)
On this page, I will be documenting my foray into the world of reptiles and other pets. Our family includes many different animals and we strive to help animals in need.

Today is

My Reptiles:


Currently I have Bindy and Clyde in a 40g screened in tank with full spectrum light and a heat lamp (100watt bulb). Substrate is sand (remember they are from the desert) and some rocks and branches for cover and basking. Feed is gut loaded crickets and veggies (lettuce/mustard greens/squash) and cottage cheese. They eat some veggies currently but the crickets in the cage do, so indirectly they gets them.

Wendy, Australian shephard from Aurora Kennels, 7 months old (DOB 6/2/06):


Our newest addition, Petey, Smokey, the Degus , Chilean ground Squirrels, Octodon Degu. They are closer related to rabbits than rodents, similar to chinchillas and quite social. We have them as a small group as they are happiest with company. We bought 2 males so they will not breed - there are plenty of animals out there without homes.
Petey:


Our grey cockatiel, Indy (short for Indianna Jones) is a boy, knows multiple songs, born 6/06, and now even will repeat the phrase "Hello Indie"... He loves his head scratched and to hang out on our shoulders. As of xmas, Indie has a girlfriend - Sidney, who was born 7/20/07, doesn't seem to feel the same hormonally, but Indie is now trying to outcompete with us, see his posturing to my wife, trying to show Sidney who is better.
They are currently laying their 3rd batch of eggs; first were duds, the 2nd has one hatchling born 3/25/08 - Huckleberry who is now being hand fed as the parents kicked him out of the nest at 1 week old after feeding him/her.

Sunny - 17 year old chestnut quarterhorse; rescue from a local rescue agency - He was used as a lawn ornament and was down 600 pounds but is now doing great.

Noah - ringnecked dove who was cared for by the Lutz museum and needed a home. Great bird who gets to fly around the house and loves to laugh and coo.
