The metal bars of a cage can seriously damage a bird's feathers as it grows older, and needs to stretch out its wings. If the wingfeathers keep breaking off against the bars, the bird may not learn to fly properly, or not have the plumage to fly effectively. Besides, wild birds don't belong behind bars. If you have to have a cage, make it a large one - several feet wide and more than 3 feet tall, so the bird has room to move and exercise as it grows.

The answer here is a cautious "yes." We have successfully housed more than one boa together and have even had productive breeding occur. Rosy Boas are not cannibalistic by nature. They are thought to be "loners" in nature for the most part, although some think they may congregate in small numbers to brumate. We have found on occasion that a boa becomes stressed when too crowded, begins to feed poorly or regurgitate, then does much better when housed alone.

mentioned elsewhere, Kingsnakes in the wild will feed on other snakes including other Kingsnakes. Therefore, it is a risk to house two together. If this must be done, then much care should be taken to separate them during feeding time. They should be kept separate for a while after feeding since the feeding response is accompanied by hormonal responses that may keep them in the hunting mode. One should make every attempt to house Kingsnakes separately except when attempting to breed them.

Place the cage away from sources of intense heat and cold, such as windows, radiators, fireplaces, air conditioners and exterior doors. Never locate a cage in the kitchen if you use nonstick-coated cookware. The fumes can be lethal to birds.

Cages should be made of wire mesh for ventilation. Aquariums are not recommended because they do not provide enough ventilation and will make your ferret feel isolated. Wood cages are not recommended because the wood can soak up urine and other liquids, so cleaning them is nearly impossible. If you are planning to keep your ferret caged most of the time, the cage should be minimum 2x3x2. A second or third ferret could also share that size cage.

Puppy Acne (what he's got) is usually related to what, how or where he eats. Feed ONLY in metal or porcelain dishes. CLEAN the dishes thoroughly with soap and water, and rinse well, EVERY time he eats (no free feeding). WASH his face with warm water EVERY time AFTER he eats, then DRY with a CLEAN terry towel/facecloth. PAT on a palmful of Gold Bond powder. Also put about a Tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar in his bowl of water every time you fill the dish.

Detailed Answer: I know it seems like the same two or eight hairs that you're tweezing over and over but due to the nature of hair growth, you're not dealing with two or eight hairs, you've got a whole lot more. Let's do some math, shall we. Say you plucked 2 hairs a day every day of the week, to be 14 hairs a week. For simplicity, let's say there are 4 weeks in a month so 14 hairs a week times 4 weeks in a month equals 56 hairs.

Detailed Answer: No, shaving does not stimulate growth. The reason it may appear so is because shaving cuts the hair at it's thickest part and that cut is blunt so the hair feels coarse. And yes, more hairs will appear when you stop plucking and start shaving because your pattern is filling in. With regular electrolysis, we can keep the area clear as the pattern fills in. Then you will experience decreasing visits and freedom from unwanted hair!

Chin implants can help provide a better balance to one's face for a dramatically more attractive look. It helps strengthen the jawline and/or brings the chin into balance with the rest of the face.

Chin surgery, also known as mentoplasty, is a surgical procedure to reshape the chin either by enhancement with an implant or reduction surgery on the bone. Many times a plastic surgeon may recommend chin surgery to a patient having nose surgery in order to achieve facial proportion, as the size of the chin may magnify or minimize the perceived size of the nose. Chin surgery helps provide a harmonious balance to your facial features so that you feel better about the way you look.

Facial implants have proven to provide a safe and predictable cosmetic surgical procedure with minimal risk. To date, millions of facial implants made from nontoxic materials such as silicone and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) have been implanted, with no reported cases of allergic reaction. The implants, designed specifically for use in the mid-facial cheek area and the chin come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes.

Yes, your bird is probably ill and should be seen by a veterinarian. A bird that is unable or unwilling to perch is generally not healthy.

Be aware, however that many birds will fluff their feathers from time to time for short periods.
