Happy Pride!! 🌈
Wanted to jump on quickly to wish everyone a happy pride week! Critter Jungle has been and will always be a safe space and vocal supporter of the LGBTQ+ community. Your authentic and true self is welcome within our store 💕
AND here’s a quick queer history lesson because queer history is important!!
Why is Pride held this week in Ottawa when pride month is typically in June? 🌈
August 27th, 1971 marked the very first LGBTQ+ demonstration in Canada, where hundreds of people marched on Parliament to demand equal rights and treatment of LGBTQ+ people. A list of 10 demands was made to the Canadian government and now, fifty two years later, all ten demands have been met. Pride week is now celebrated during the third week of August to commemorate that historic first demonstration.
💜 We love seeing photos of your pets and we also love hearing pawsitive reviews - why not combine those two things?
Share a photo or video below of your pet enjoying a toy or treat purchased from us, and you may just see it on our socials in the coming weeks! 👀
Featured is late staff pug, Ella, beating up her lamb chop - always a favourite. 💜
New product alert!! 🎉
Oxbow Animal Health's brand new Prime Cut hay arrives this week in-store and we're pretty excited about it!
Does your pet pick out the parts of hay they prefer and ignore the rest of it? It's a common issue in the world of hay feeding, believe it or not! And now Oxbow has a solution for it!
Prime Cut comes in two tasty, distinct options for even the most discerning of palettes:
🐰 Hearty & Crunchy! Crispy hay with thicker stems and more seed heads.
🐰Soft & Lush! Fluffy and tender hay with thinner stems and softer leaves.
As a bonus, the box doubles as a play station! Open the feeding window at the front and hang toys off of it to add some easy enrichment to your critter's day! 💜
☀️Earlier this week we talked about water safety and life jackets, so why not show them off a bit?
Here is resident Critter Jungle pup, Tyson, enjoying his Ruffwear FloatCoat! 🙌
Here’s your Monday pick-me-up for the day:
staff-rat, Onyx, enjoying up some early morning scritches. What could be better? 🥰
We think it’s time the small animals get some love! 🐀💕
Have you heard of forage feeding? 🤔 It’s one of the easiest ways to increase enrichment in your small animal’s life! One simple way to encourage foraging is to sprinkle some of their food around their cage (or in a spare hay bin for buns and guinea pigs) so they have to hunt or forage for it. That’s it!!
What does foraging do for your pet?
🔹It satisfies their natural instinct to search for food works their little brains at the same time!
🔹It adds both physical AND mental exercise!
🔹It keeps them busy with stimulating tasks which keeps them out of trouble and reduces unwanted behaviours!
We have a variety of options available for forage feeding, so keep your eye out for that post coming later this week! 👀 In the meantime, check out this video of our Orleans manager’s little hamster foraging for his evening snacks ⬇️
Volume up for a dose of serotonin to get through the rest of the week! 🔊⬆️
