New guinea pig cage
This weekend I built a C&C cage for my two cavies. It’s 2x5 with a 2x2 loft (in grids, not feet.) The base is approx. 13 sq. ft. I used kits from the C&C store for the cage itself, because I couldn’t find grids with appropriately sized holes in white and at a good price locally.

10 Things I Didn't Know About Hermit Crabs
I had one or two hermit crabs when I was a kid. They always died. I recently got 2 as a gift, and then a 3rd last night. I did my research this time on how to properly care for them. I’ll post my set up later. These are some things I learned:

Bogardus
I like to keep greyhounds in pairs because they always seem happier that way. My boy, Batou, passed away a few weeks ago.
