We re-named one of our leopards Pyro after she started a fire in our house. She knocked a floor lamp onto a pile of magazines/newspaper. It took effort for her to be able to manage what she did....it never crossed my mind that she could get into that kind of trouble, I thought the place was...
Have you tried soaking him in water?
Sometimes they're dehydrated and have trouble with their eyes, or the water will dislodge what ever is bugging their eyes.

You can try Port Credit pet shop. We...

We moved the herd from Canada to the south. It actually wasn't that bad with some planning and lots of paperwork. Favorites....so hard, I do really enjoy all of them.
I love the...
