Just an FYI, I like animals. I think they should be treated fairly, although maybe not to the extent PETA would like. But I do not condone animal cruelty. On that same note, first world countries treat animals like royalty at times. There are plenty of pet owners who treat pets like they are their own children and would spend easily 50+ bucks just so they’re dog could get a pampered bath and groom. Meanwhile, a starving third world child may struggles to get even a few cents worth of food with any nutritional value.

What if the stranger was a very responsible 15 1/2 year old girl who gets good grades, is respectful, overall a good kid and charged around $7/day for pet-sitting? And I wouldn’t actually STAY in your house to take care of pets, I would drive to your house every few hours to care for pets,water plants and get mail? What if the pet-sitter planned a visit with you first to get to know you and your pet and got care instructions from you?? Would you hire this person?

I have a 30 gallon, with 2 green tree frogs, with a fountain, moss, soil, and gravel substrate. I am also keeping live tropical plants in the terrarium as well. What other pets can I keep in this terrarium with my green tree frogs?

What is the best brand out there of microchip IDs for pets?
I’d love to hear peoples’ experiences - good or bad - with the various brands of microchip IDs for pets. I’m looking at Avid, 24 Hour Pet Watch, Home Again and Trovan for use in a new animal shelter.
