Products We Love

Packing peanuts made with biodegradable plant based starch. Great for any animal to forage through or just dig around in.  Especially loved by ferrets! 

Safer/cleaner alternative to printed newspaper.  Small animals love jumping in crinkled paper and benefit from foraging in it.  Great for birds to unwrap to get to their favorite pellets and Nutriberries! 

Small shreadable doll hats.  These are great for birds! I hang them in the cages, or leave them unattached to be picked up.

Biodegradable plant based starch packing peanuts in fun shapes and colors! These are so cute and fun to use when you are getting bored of the biodegradable white tubes. 

Baseball sized plastic wiffle balls.  Great to use for foraging activities, especially with larger birds! I easily modify some hole sizes with a dremel if needed as well. Birds love to throw these around too! 

This baby bottle dishwasher basket is so versatile! We hide Nutriberries in it and other food items, or just shredded paper for the birds to pull out.  Some birds have figured out how to open it, and that's fun too! **One of my all-time fave hacks over the years! 

Stainless steel links to hang your diy and bought toys. These are a bit more sturdy and also nice to use to secure cage openings! The M3.5 size option is what I use and are smaller, but the large ones can be used as well. 

This recycled/non-toxic paper is so fun to forage in! Just remember to not use it in a way to encourage nest building with your birds! Here, we never encourage egg laying due to the associated medical and behavioral issues! 

Sold as replacement cat scratchers (without catnip), but are great as shredding and chewing toys for small animals and birds.  We hang these and use the corrugation to hide small food items! 

These "finger traps" are great to use for foraging or busy shred toys. They are often incorporated in with store bought bird toys, but  are very versatile! 

Easy to use for food items (especially veggies and fruit), or shredding items. Add tiny cardboard boxes to make foraging toys out of these. 

These are super easy to use to hide food items and toys! They come as flat cardboard pieces and are super quick for a fast enrichment idea. 

These are my favorite small animal and small bird carriers! Doskocil Cabin Kennels are not being made anymore, but they can be found on ebay etc. Perfect for perches and for vet techs to reach in and safely get the animal out when at the vet. 

Another great enrichment/foraging area and easy to clean with the removable bottom liner. This stays out all the time also, but can be easily put away. 

Great to use for small mammals when doing enrichment/foraging activities! We just leave ours out all the time, but it can be collapsed and stowed away.

We have several sizes of these throughout our home and it has lessened the work our a/c filter has to do! 

This hair remover is famous for a reason! 

Safe cleaning alternative to bleach. We use this to remove hard water stains in water bowls and especially our turtle aquariums. 

We have been using these cameras to watch our animals for years! Love these newer small wired ones so you don't have to change batteries. 

Love these cameras for oddly placed views away from an outlet. Make sure to use lithium batteries, and they will work well for years and years! 

We love and trust these in our catio, even in the humid florida weather, these have lasted. Again, make sure to use lithium batteries! 

I have so much fun cleaning/dusting nooks and crannies of our house with this goo! Works well to get rid of dust on appliances in the bird room! Sold for electronics, but I use it on everything. 

Favorite new cleaning item from last year! This recharges, has variable speeds, and lasts for hours. I go around our house and dust with this and then vacuum! It's like a mini leaf blower! Great to get to hard to reach areas to remove seed husks, feathers, dust, and bedding! 

For over 10 years I have bought these cheaper yoga mats and put them under the bird cages and bird hang-out spots to easily clean up dropped food, water, and poop.  Love that they are reusable and wipeable. These can be cut to the needed shape as well. 

This can be a true lifesaver and is an emergency necessity for any type of herbivore.  If your rabbit, or guinea pig stops eating and cannot be taken to the vet right away, syringe feeding them this ground hay mixture is a must.    This can also be taken with them to an emergency clinic that may not typically see exotics and wont have this on hand.  Talk to your exotics veterinarian about feeding instructions. 

Many feeding syringes do not have a large enough tip to use with the herbivore critical care. As a veterinary nurse I highly recommend using a catheter tip syringe like this for syringe feeding the ground hay. Talk to your exotics veterinarian about feeding instructions. 

Own a bird? This can help stop bleeding for the unfortunate event of a broken blood feather! There are several steps to stop the bleeding, including using a product to aid in clotting.  This is an easy clotting aid to have on hand.  Talk. to your avian veterinarian about the steps to help stop blood loss.
