And the rules are simple:

 	Post a picture of your amazing pet, their kooky personalities, their adventurous habitats or anything else pet related (important: the month that your picture is posted, is the monthly contest that you are eligible to win).  But how do I do this?  Click the Start a Topic button in the upper right hand corner.  Upload your picture, and give it the title Cricket Contest.  
 	Collect the most Critter Gold for the month (read below to find out more information on Critter Gold)
 	And Boom!  You just won a year supply of FREE crickets

What is Critter Gold and how do I collect it?
Critter Gold is a reward system (see here).  Every community member has the opportunity to reward interesting posts with Critter Gold.  If you want to win a year supply of free crickets, post an interesting picture of your pet or habitat so that community members will reward your post with gold.

And anytime you see amazing animals, interesting habitats, or anything else that strikes your fancy, be sure to reward that post with Critter Gold as well.
Announcing the Winners!

 	The winner will be announced within 48 hours by the end of each month.
 	The winner will be awarded a coupon code for 500 free crickets.  This coupon code will be honored for 12 purchases.  Winners may also use these coupons to purchase other feeders like superworms, dubia roaches, and black soldier fly larva.
 	Winners may continue posting pictures, topics, and questions.  But they are not eligible to win until 12 months since they won.
 	And we will keep a running list of the winning posts listed here.

                    [post_content] => The Critter Forum is a place where new and experienced pet owners can post pictures, habitat guides, questions, and tips about all things related to pets.  We all want the same thing: good health and happiness for our pets.  So let's keep this place friendly, constructive, and supportive by following some basic rules:

 	We encourage you to post these pet related things: pictures, habitats, questions, and anything else pet related.
 	The Critter Forum is for all ages.  Absolutely no adult content. Users will be banned and reported.
 	Be kind.  Everyone here wants to learn, and become better care givers for their pets.  Help others by sharing tips, knowledge, products, and tutorial videos.
 	Be respectful of other people’s opinions and ideas. It’s okay to disagree and have different opinions, but present your case tactfully.  Everyone here wants the same thing: good health and happiness for their pet.
 	No brigading or trolling.  Everyone wants to be an amazing pet-parent.  Rude remarks, trolling, and brigading doesn't encourage this, and discourages everyone from participating and learning.
 	All posts must be relevant to the selected category.  For example, don’t discuss corn snakes on the bearded dragon category.
 	All threads that are nothing but a ‘test’ or an ‘ad’ will be deleted.
 	If you share irrelevant links, your comment or post will be deleted.  If the links are relevant to the thread, that’s fine. Please use your best judgment here.
 	Please don’t use affiliate links in this forum. When you externally link, do it because you want to help someone, not because you see a quick opportunity to make some cash.
 	Try to add value when you post. Don’t just type something along the lines of “What they said.”
 	Use proper grammar to the best of your ability. We understand that English may not be everyone’s main language, but make an attempt. You won’t get in trouble for a misplaced comma or for typos, but it would help everyone if you could make sure everyone understands your message.

                    [post_content] => Raising chickens is a fun endeavor!  But many newbies might be unprepared.  Especially with how fast day old chicks grow.  We documented the day by day process, and showed how fast a baby chick will grow in its first few weeks of life.   It's amazing to see how a little fuzz ball can quickly develop into an egg-laying machine.  You can see the full process in our chicken growth guide that goes into full detail.
Summary
A baby chick that is 1 day old won't eat on her first day, but she'll need water and radiant heat (95 degrees F) in her brooder.

Chicks - 1 day old



Day old chicks will stand at about 4" tall, and easily fit inside your hand.  They are very shy and easily frightened.  But once they reach their first week, you're looking at an entirely new bird:

Chicks - 7 days old



They'll grow about 50% after their first week, and stand nearly 6" tall.  And if you look close, they'll start to show off their primary feathers on the tips of their wings.  These chicks are still predominantly covered in down feathers, but in a about 1 more week, their wings will be fully covered in primary feathers:

Chicks - 12 days old



Once they hit this 12 day mark, you'll want to make sure their brooder has a lid, or very high walls.  With the feathers developing on their wings, these curious birds can easily clear 2' high side walls.  So unless you want birds running freely in your garage, barn, or house, definitely give them a roof.

Once these girls hit the 4 week mark, they're basically no longer resemble chicks.  These girls are nearly fully feathers, with only a little bit of down feathers left on their heads and neck.  At this age, they're ready to eat more than starter food, and you can offer them some hearty snacks like superworms, black soldier fly larvae, or mealworms.  But remember that these should only be an occasional snack, and that the need to use their pre-blended starter feed as their main cuisine.

Chick - 28 days old

                    [post_content] => So i have a baby albino milk snake and im asking when i should switch from pinkies to live mice and also how often should i feed pinkies to this new hatchling its chart from the pet store says 2 1/2 weeks of feeding im assuming this means the age as well 
So results of research some say 3-5 days others 7-10 and i believe its because they are doing a general number for adults 
I would love it if someone who raises snakes specifically milk snakes can tell me the proper days to wait between feeds i know not to handle after just want my lil guy to grow up healthy
