🎄Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays everyone!!🎄 Enjoy Bella, the Green Winged Macaw in our rescue having a Christmas dance 💃🎉

We want to thank you ALL for your support so far! We are so lucky to have such wonderful customers 🥰 we hope you all have a wonderful day 🎄

What a tough year it's been! having a drunk driver crash through our shop and putting us out of business for 6 months! So THANK YOU for coming back to us ❤️ you all mean so much to us and without you and your support we would not be here! We can not wait to see what next year brings (hopefully not a car!) 👀

Much love,

CALCI-SAND? - NO!

I didn't think in 2024 people still sold this crap but I was wrong.

This substrate is marketed as digestible and safe if ingested. While it can be a safe substrate for many years it's one of the few loose substrates that actually pose an impaction risk even to well cared for animals because of its tendancy to clump when wet and cause a blockage. Its also appealing to lizards as its made of calcium so deficient animals may eat it intentionally to try and resolve their issues.

Well known brands still manufacture it because it sells but most reputable shops won't touch the stuff because its horrendous as a substrate.

I'd happily see it banned or completely removed from wholesaler stocklists but that's never going to happen because its cheap and has a unique selling point (even if that is dishonest and unproven)

Please don't buy it. Please. Customers should be able to ask advice and be sold products that are safe, reputable and effective. They shouldn't have to worry about being sold a gimmick that could (and has repeatedly) cause a problem for their new pet.

Hot rocks, calci sand, walnut sand, reptile carpet, not using thermostats... this is all antiquated reptile husbandry and thankfully we've come a very very long way from these darker times. We know better, those selling this crap know better. We just as a whole need to keep doing better so these products fall out of favour and hopefully out of stock

For good!

Substrate is a hot debate in every Facebook group, it's confusing, I know but this is one substrate that really isn't safe and really shouldn't be used. There are safe, attractive, affordable products to give your pet a healthy and enriching environment. This ain't it!

☢***SAFETY ALERT***☢

NOT ALL CINNAMON IS REAL CINNAMON!
Be careful what cinnamon you feed your beloved wee beaks!

Parrots can safely eat powdered or whole-stick Ceylon cinnamon. It can even be healthy for them, especially if it's high-quality, organic cinnamon. Ceylon cinnamon is high in Vitamin K, Vitamin E and potassium. It is also believed to be antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and high in antioxidants.

However, they CANNOT eat Cassia bark (sometimes called Chinese Cinnamon) - it's not real cinnamon and it's NOT SAFE for parrots because of the extremely high levels of coumarin, a blood thinner that is TOXIC and even a small amount can cause liver damage and/or liver failure.

A few things to keep out of reach of your pets this Christmas, unless you want to spend your Christmas Day in the out of hours vets (which I did a few years ago when a family dog snaffled a Christmas pudding… I’m looking at you Odin!). Toxin ingestion is an emergency so always contact your vets and get them there ASAP. Never wait and see, one raisin is enough to cause toxicity so it’s just not worth the risk!
