I really like the care sheet--I've bookmarked it for the future. My son is two, so when he's old enough to help a little with a pet, we might look at getting a gecko.

I'll try to get a picture--he's pretty shy and I'm afraid I'll hurt him if I touch him. He has a coconut shell house and he's been staying in it most of the time. He did eat another cricket last night. He is a cute little guy. I'm going to release him, but it was fun having a pet lizard for a...

Mr. Gecko is doing fine today. I stopped by Petsmart yesterday for supplies, so he now has his own home. He ate two crickets and seems happy. I'm going to release him back to the mailbox on Saturday when it warms up. Thanks for all the help!

When I went out to get the mail today, I found a little gecko hanging by his foot off of the mailbox. At first I didn't think he was alive, but he moved his head slightly. I got him to crawl onto the pile of mail and brought him into the house. Right now, he's in a box with a handful of the...

We moved from St. Petersburg, FL to Houston, TX a few years ago with my two mini-lops. I used a larger size cat carrier and when we stopped (frequently) I had my backseat covered with a shower curtain covered by blankets so they could move around. I also had a cooler with cilantro and other...

I just had a baby and the only thing I did differently was have my husband change the litterboxes. Not because I was worried about disease, but we have large litterboxes and I wasn't allowed to lift them. (Plus it was nice to let someone else worry about litterboxes for awhile :))

We used the plywood and sticky tile idea at our rent house last year. I thought I'd gotten the sticky pieces flush--they looked tight without gaps. When we moved in December, we lifted the wood and sections of the plywood had molded and stained the carpet. I would leave some of the plastic under...

I adopted Little Bit from the SPCA in Pinellas County, FL for $15 which included a spay. I did expect a more rigorous process--they didn't ask any of the questions that I've come to expect from reading about other adoptions here on the forum. I had Floppy with me, so they might have gone easy on...

I joined a few weeks ago, but didn't even think of signing my husband up--I'll do that today :)

We moved back to Texas last November and are in the Houston area as well. My husband is from Dallas, so he's happy to be back in his home state. I don't remember it raining so much when I lived here in high school. --Rebecca

Ironically, I caught my six pound mini-lop ontop of her NIC cage about an hour ago. It's not terriblyhigh, but she's not a jumper (won't even jump on the furniture, or offher shelves in the cage without stairs). I'mthinking that she's learned how to climb (or has used those big ears tofly!) I'm...

From the research I've done this week, I think you might be right about how frequent the injections should be. Similar cases do seem to be on a daily schedule, rather than weekly. There is a large animal hospital downtown Houston that I've heard about, but to get in, we need a referral. I'll...

Thanks for the reassurances about the vet. Now that I think about it more, I feel more comfortable with the treatment as well. As for how long we're going to dothe injections, I'm not sure. She, the vet, is waiting for a some change in his condition before we do anything more drastic. I do worry...

I'm not sure what to do anymore.Floppy had his first molar spur problem back in September and our vet in Florida didn't think much of it--no x-rays to check the problem or anything, and I didn't know that I should have asked for them. So the teeth were filed down and everything went back to...
