Specially formulated to hydrate and soften old skin while conditioning the new, it ensures your reptile's shedding process is smooth and stress-free. Plus, it's non-toxic and completely safe for your reptiles, their water, and handling. ✨

As many of us know, there has been an outbreak of Avian Influenza on poultry farms in Australia - in both Victoria and NSW.
What does this mean for bird owners? 🐦🐓
All bird owners must remain alert for any signs of avian influenza in their flocks. Backyard and free-range poultry owners should exercise extra caution, as their birds may be more likely to encounter infected wild birds.
Although avian influenza has not commonly affected pet birds like budgies and parrots in past Australian outbreaks, it is believed that all bird species are susceptible to HPAI H5N1. To protect birds from this virus, it is important to keep them sheltered and isolated from wild birds.
Signs of disease usually appear in several or all birds in a flock, including:
• Sudden death
• Lethargy or reluctance to walk, eat or drink
• Droopy appearance or ruffled feathers
• Head or limb swelling
• Bruising of the wattle, comb, feet or skin
• Respiratory signs such as panting, nasal discharge or sneezing
• Diarrhoea
• Unusual head or neck posture, incoordination, inability to walk or stand
• Unusual reduction in egg production.
It’s important to note that many of these symptoms can also be indicative of other medical issues and disease, making it very important to consult with your veterinarian.
In addition, we recommend adhering to this sound advice from Agriculture Victoria:
✔️ Keep wild birds and rodents out of bird houses and coops, and away from backyard flocks and pet birds.
✔️ Secure feed bins and water bowls in closed areas, to avoid attracting wild birds and rodents.
✔️ Consider removing bird feeders to avoid attracting wild birds.
✔️ Keep visitors away from your birds. Avoid visiting other poultry farms or other people’s birds.
✔️ Wash hands and shoes/boots before and after entering a bird area.
✔️ Wear disposable boot covers and coveralls if you can and discard them when leaving a bird area.
✔️ If you have been in an area where wild waterfowl have been, change your clothes and shoes before handling poultry or parrots.
✔️ For birds that are new to your flock, or those that have been to a bird show, isolate them in a quarantine area for at least 30 days before introducing them back to your flock.
For any detailed advice, we recommend contacting:
VIC: Agriculture Victoria https://buff.ly/3XwKekG 136 186 (Monday–Friday, 8 am – 6 pm) or the Vic Emergency Hotline on 1800 226 226.
NSW: Dept of Primary Industries https://buff.ly/3VF3nOJ or The Emergency Animal Disease (EAD) Hotline on 1800 675 888.

Today marks Endangered Species Day! 🌍
The kākāpō, a unique flightless parrot, stands as a powerful symbol of the necessity of preservation. Once thriving in the forests of New Zealand, their numbers dwindled to approximately 50 in the mid-1990s.
Through persistent conservation efforts, the kākāpō population is now around 250 and rising. Let's applaud and encourage continuous actions to protect this amazing species! 🌿

When it comes to your pet's nutrition, not all hay is created equal! Understanding the varieties of hay is key to ensuring your little ones get the best diet possible. 🥗
Hay is typically divided into two main categories:
1️⃣ High-Fibre Fescue: This type of hay is packed with fibre, which is essential for your pet's digestive health. It's perfect for animals like rabbits and guinea pigs, which thrive on a high-fibre diet.
2️⃣ High Protein Lucerne: Lucerne hay, also known as alfalfa, is higher in protein compared to fescue hay. This makes it a great choice for growing or lactating animals that need that extra protein boost.
