🎉 Ferret fun in full swing! 🎉

Our blonde ferret has been waiting for a new wrestling buddy, and it looks like the new guy understood the assignment! 😂 These two boys have been chasing, bouncing, and play-fighting nonstop since meeting each other.

Ferrets may look like they're roughhousing, but this is just how they make friends! 🦦💨

⚠️ Warning: Watching may cause an uncontrollable urge to own a ferret.

🐟 Fish Fact Friday: Rosy Loaches! 🐟

Don't let their small size fool you—Rosy Loaches are packed with personality! 💕

🌟 Fun Fact: Rosy Loaches are one of the smallest loach species, usually reaching only about 1 inch in length as adults. Their tiny size makes them a great choice for nano aquariums!

These active little fish love being in groups and are constantly exploring, swimming, and interacting with one another. Watching a school of Rosy Loaches dart around the tank is a great reminder that some of the biggest personalities come in the smallest packages.

💡 Another fun fact: Unlike many bottom-dwelling fish that spend most of their time hiding, Rosy Loaches are often out in the open and active throughout the day.

🐦 "Excuse me, I ordered the giant bowl." 🐦

This cockatiel decided the best seat in the house is right on top of the FruitBlend! 😂

A healthy bird diet is all about variety. Pellets provide important nutrition, but adding fresh veggies, greens, seeds, and occasional fruits can help keep your feathered friend happy, healthy, and excited for mealtime.

Of course, some birds prefer to sit in their food rather than eat it... and we're not here to judge. 😆💛

🐸 New frog, same attitude. 🐸

Our new Togo Rain Frog may be tiny, but that face says he's already judging everyone who walks past his enclosure. 😆

Fun Fact: Togo Rain Frogs spend most of their time hiding in leaf litter and soil, waiting for unsuspecting insects to wander by.

Come meet our newest little grump! ❤️🐸

🐦 Meet the Pets Monday: Sydney 💕

This week we're reintroducing the queen of Noah's Ark Pet Shoppe—Sydney! 👑

Sydney is our 15-year-old Moluccan Cockatoo and has been part of the Noah's Ark family for almost 6 years. If you've visited the store, chances are you've heard her chatting, dancing, or demanding attention! 🎶

A few fun facts about Sydney: 🩷 She absolutely LOVES kids, especially babies in car seats. 🐹 Small animals are her favorite thing to watch. 🥜 Her current favorite treat is peanut crackers. 🪵 She loves shredding wood toys—and she'll even tear off pieces to shred more throughly in the bottom of her cage! 💃 Turn on some upbeat music and she'll happily dance along. 🗣️ She knows lots of words and phrases, but her favorite is "Tickle, tickle!" (Though sometimes it comes out sounding more like "Pickle, pickle!" 😂)

Sydney does have a few preferences of her own. She's not usually a fan of men, especially if they're wearing glasses and a baseball cap. But don't take it personally—Sydney has always been a bird who knows exactly what she likes! 😆

Have you met Sydney? Tell us your favorite Sydney story or the funniest thing you've heard her say in the comments! ⬇️

🐟 Fish Fact Friday: Marble Hatchetfish Edition! 🐟

Have you ever seen a fish shaped like a tiny hatchet? Meet the Marble Hatchetfish! 🤎🖤

🔹 Built for the Surface – Marble Hatchetfish spend almost all of their time at the very top of the aquarium, where they search for insects and other small foods.

🔹 Masters of Camouflage – Their unique marbled pattern helps them blend into the dappled light and shadows of their natural habitat in South American rivers and streams.

🔹 They Can Jump! – In the wild, hatchetfish are known for their ability to leap out of the water to escape predators. A tight-fitting lid is a must for aquariums!

🔹 Schooling Fish – These peaceful fish feel most comfortable in groups and add constant activity to the upper level of a community tank.

With their unusual shape and fascinating behavior, Marble Hatchetfish are a great choice for aquarists looking to add something a little different to their tank! 🐠

Have you ever kept hatchetfish before? Let us know in the comments! 👇

🐸 Fun Frog Fact!

African Clawed Frogs don't have tongues or teeth like many other frogs. Instead, they use their front feet to shovel food right into their mouths!

Messy eaters? Maybe. Effective eaters? Absolutely.

💚💛 Back-to-back and side-by-side.

Lovebirds may be small, but they have some of the biggest personalities in the bird world. These two look like they're ready for a photoshoot—or plotting something together. 😄

Meet the Pets Monday: Callie 🐾

This week we're introducing Callie, the cat who decided to choose her own family! ❤️🐱

Callie belongs to our employee, Brooke, but technically, Callie made that decision herself. She showed up one day, claimed Brooke and her family as her people, and has been part of the family ever since.

As the queen of the outdoors, Callie spends her days exploring the neighborhood and keeping an eye on everything that's happening. But no matter where her adventures take her, she's always back at the door when it's time for attention, treats, and a few well-earned head scratches. 😸

Callie has a sweet, independent personality and knows exactly how to get the love she wants from her humans. Whether she's patiently waiting outside or supervising from afar, she always makes her presence known.

🐾 Fun Fact: Callie wasn't adopted—she did the adopting!

Do you have a pet who chose you instead of the other way around? Tell us their story in the comments! ❤️
