I thought that an appropriate Featured Animal of the Week would be a Jack Rabbit - in the spirit of Easter! Jack Rabbits are not typically kept as pets, however they are widespread in their natural habitats.

Animal-World’s Featured Pet of the Week: The Oscar
Animal-World's Featured Pet for this week is: The Oscar! When I hear the word 'Oscar' in regards to fish, I immediately think back to when I was 7 or 8 and my regular trips to the local pet store with my dad. I loved going to the pet store with him to look at and pick out our newest fish to bring home. I was especially fascinated by the huge black and red Oscars. I continued asking if we could get an Oscar and eventually my dad gave in and let us get one! We had several large spare aquariums at ...
Animal-World’s Featured Pet of the Week: The Parakeet
Animal-World's Featured Pet for this week is: The Parakeet! Most likely, you or someone you know has owned a parakeet! They are one of the more popular of the smaller birds, for many reasons.

While working at the pet store, I saw many of these birds come and go to new homes. I enjoyed cleaning their cages every day and whistling along with them! Parakeets are also called Budgerigars, or Budgies. Their scientific name is Melopsittacus undulatus and ...

There are so many different rabbit breeds which all have their own unique characteristics! This makes it easier to choose a rabbit that suits your particular needs and wants. I personally have had several Polish Rabbits, and I enjoyed them very much! They have one of the sweetest dispositions I have come across in all of my rabbits! One of their greatest attributes is that they are one of the smallest rabbit breeds out there (along with Netherland Dwarf Rabbits). This gives ...
