🌟 Meet & Greet Monday! 🌟

Say hello to Bandit, our mischievous little Peter’s Banded Skink! 🦎 With his bold stripes and curious eyes, it’s no wonder he earned the name “Bandit.”

They’re found in the rocky deserts of North Africa 🌍 They are super gentle and love to burrow in the sand 🏜️ Their stripes help them blend in with their surroundings — but Bandit still loves the spotlight!

Come meet Bandit in person — he’s waiting to steal your heart 💛🖤

Fun Fact Sunday: Did you know hedgehogs can run up to 6 feet per second?
These little nocturnal critters might look slow, but hedgehogs are surprisingly speedy! In the wild, they can cover long distances foraging for food, and their powerful legs allow them to sprint when needed. Plus, they’re just so darn cute when they roll into a ball!

Saturday

🌟 Featured Pet 🌟

Meet Princess Ed the Bearded Dragon.

Originally named Ed, before being sexed at the vet (Surprise!), Princess was then added, and it sure captures her attitude! She likes to sit on her couch on the windowsill and watch the traffic, and she absolutely LOVES snacking on flowers. 🌼 Princess Ed just celebrated her 1st birthday- Happy Birthday! 🎈

Thank you, Alexandra Merritt for sharing your pet with us on last week's ! 💚

📸 Let's see those photos!
No matter if it's a chill lizard or a bouncing frog, be sure to share your pets every Saturday for their chance at being a featured pet!

🍴🐸 Foodie Friday: White’s Tree Frog Menu!
These little “dumpy frogs” may look laid-back, but when it comes to food, they’re anything but shy.
What’s on the menu?
🦗 Crickets – their main staple!
🐛 Mealworms, waxworms, and roaches – offered as tasty treats.
Calcium + vitamin D3 dusting – essential for strong bones and overall health.
⚠️ Watch the portions! White’s Tree Frogs are famous for overeating (and getting a bit too “dumpy”). A balanced diet keeps them healthy and hoppy for years to come.

Would you share your snacks with a frog this cute? Drop a 🦗 if you’d offer up a cricket feast!

🌟🐸 Feature Friday: White’s Tree Frog
Say hello to the White’s Tree Frog, also known as the “Dumpy Tree Frog” because of their adorable chubby look! These frogs are not only cute but also super hardy, making them one of the most popular amphibians to keep as pets. 🌿 They can live up to 20 years with good care! They’re famous for their calm, almost “relaxed” personalities, and at night, they’ll sometimes sing or “chirp” to each other!

With their bright green (sometimes blueish!) skin and big smiley faces, they’re definitely one of the most charming little critters around.

Drop a 🐸 in the comments if you love these little dumpy darlings!
