Genets are very hard to find, I’ve been trying for about six years to immerse myself and connect with people who do own them, to little luck other than a few people whom I’ve now lost contact with.
I study African carnivores, a heavy emphasis on genets, which is where my interest comes from. I’d like to have a bit of my career at home.

Hey I am 19 with my partner 19 living in a apartment. Looking for a animal that is somewhat easy to maintain and doesn't costs too much anywhere up to 70 a month. Any suggestions?
Recently , it has been brought to my attention that a popular influencer by the name of Bass Fishing Productions got an axolotl from Hypnotic Exotics ZCX off of an auction on morph market and has posted a video of this axolotl being “abandoned “ . It makes me wonder how many videos he stages , when do we say enough ? This guy has nearly a million followers on Facebook alone and I’m willing to bet you , as well as others may watch him all the time and not know ! Did you know axolotls are nearly extinct in Lake Xochimilco? They’re literally being kept around by breeders keeping track of their husbandry , making sure they aren’t inbred , cycling their tank, providing proper filtration and overall caring for these guys as every animal DESERVES , far too many people think it’s still ok to abuse animals and it’s sickening , disheartening and so so cruel protect these animals
, be their voice , stand up for what’s right and please share the heck out of this , make sure this guy never ever gets an animal again ! If you’d like to see for yourself , Hypnotics Exotics ZCX has made a post on their facebook page , please be kind to animals they’re so innocent 😔
Madoka is pink, Homura is purple! They are both girls! When I first saw them, I was like, WHOA! They’re too pretty to be real!
hi, i’m in a bit of a struggle right now. i have had a ferret for almost a year now, he’s been alone and has had no other ferrets with him. i am young and still in high school. i was stupid when i got him last year and thought it’d be okay if i just got one. i have talked to my parents about getting a second one, but we are not in a place financially right now to do so. i feel terrible for my boy and have thought about rehoming him. i dont want to do that because i love him so much, but i think it’d also be good for him to be in a better home, and also good for my family so that we don’t have to pay his vet bills and his other needs. my parents have not completely said no to another ferret, but i don’t know when we’d be able to get another one. i have not brought up the rehoming to them and don’t know how they’d react to it. i have a feeling they’d tell me that we already spent so much on him and can’t go back. i dont know what to do and really need some help.
Hello there! I have a question for reptile keepers who live in states (US) that have decent weather and keep reptiles outside: how do you do it? When I get a place of my own, I wanted to keep reptiles in cages in the backyard but I also know there’s risks like environmental concerns, risks of escape and even parasitic risks. What do you do guys do and is the risk worth the reward?
Hi everyone. So I was meant to get a baby crested gecko but there was a miscommunication with the seller and she accidentally sold the gecko I was meant to get to someone else. So I’ve decided to think of getting something else.
I’ve got a 30x30x60cm tank which is suited towards a reptile that enjoys climbing and hiding as there’s lots of hides, vines and artificial plants.
My ideal pet would be something decent for handling and that definitely does not smell. And maybe something a little less long lived though this isn’t a deal breaker
Any suggestions?
So we have a major leak that has caused mold in my grandmas bathroom, and we just got testing done for asbestos to see of its positive for it. Its a 1960s home and I know we have asbestos tile under the carpet in the one room so I dont have high hopes itll test negative. We have 2 dogs, 1 bunny, 5 parrots, 1 hamster, 1 packman frog, 1 lepoard gecko, 2 dogs and a red ear slider. Plus many fish tanks but I think they'll be okay covered with plastic. We have a back room that was a outdoor patio my grandparents had screened in and added a window unit. If they properly seal everything in the contaminated area and I move everyone to the backroom would it be safe enough? I have air purifiers and could open windows.
Im waiting to see if insurence will pay for displacement it comes down to that but I dont think a airb&b would be okay with this number of pets. I definitely cant afford boarding for all of them nor have people trust worthy enough to look after them. Rest of my family who dont live with us want me to just get rid of them or leave them in the house, and think im over reacting.
Anyway to reduce the scratches?

My ex is truly mental and left them in a purse on my doorstep. I don’t know the first thing to do so I’m seeking out information online. These aren’t legal here and I know people still keep them anyway but I’m afraid if I turn them in they will be destroyed. They don’t deserve that. Can anyone advise?
No, I'm not just looking to fill a tank. I am a pet care specialist, and I own various animals already including reptiles. So don't worry about that, but I'm wondering what can live in a 50 gallon arboreal enclosure that's pretty unique. More interested in reptiles than amphibians, already have white tree frogs. Shoot me, your craziest ideas, and maybe I can even accommodate a 60 gallon.
One of my dogs recently got diagnosed with hookworms after a bunch of tests to find out why he was coughing. The vet said I would have to treat every animal in my house (3 dogs, 3 cats, and 3 ferrets). I have fenbendazole liquid 222mg which is safe for ferrets. I used chat gbt to calculate dosage. I’m trying to see if anyone has experience deworming ferrets and if the dosage equation I found is correct. Before you say take them to a vet I’ve already spent roughly 2000 in the last 3 weeks to find out what the cough was from. Another few hundred on dewormers for all the animals that I’ll have to do/spend again in 2-3 weeks. And another couple hundred on preventatives (advance multi cat and dog, and revolution kitten for the ferrets). Please if you have any experience with something like this any advice is helpful.
