[post_content] => Stuck shed is what happens when your pet can’t get its old skin to let go. It results from either having a dry environment or not enough water in the body. That’s why you’ve got to be extra careful in the winter. As the air dries out and cools off, your pet’s environment will get dryer and your pet might become dehydrated. The best way to deal with that is to set up a humid hide, which you can set up in a cave or a plastic tub with some absorbent substrate like sphagnum moss. Check out our full write-up for all the details.

[post_content] => Bugs are a must for your homestead or hobby farm. And most people don't realize that the "bug smell" they think of is totally optional. The main reasons insects produce smells are their bodily waste, uneaten food, and excess moisture. You can mitigate all three of these things by maintaining a clean habitat, picking your insects wisely, and ventilating your insect colony properly. Check out all the details in our full article.

[post_content] => Crickets are pretty hearty little critters, but they’re not bombproof. They are prone to a lot of the same issues as reptiles, including viruses and parasites.The first thing you should be aware of is which problems affect which species. The main species of feeder crickets are Acheta domesticus (the brown house cricket) and Gryllodes sigillatus (the banded cricket). Most problems that crickets have are due to habitat conditions, viruses, or parasites. Check out our full article for more details on diagnosing problems with crickets.

[post_content] => The American toad is one of the easiest amphibians to keep (not to mention easiest to get). Its range covers much of eastern Canada and the United States. They live in marshes, wetlands, and riverbanks, where they depend on perennial water sources and dense vegetation for hides. In terms of setting that space up, you can be as simple or complex as you want. Toads do well in bioactive aquariums, but beginners will probably want to start with silk plants. For all the details on how to set up an American toad habitat, as well as what to feed them, check out our full writeup.

[post_content] => Chickens are omnivores, and that means you need to provide your hens with a mix of grains and protein. But when your birds molt in the fall, their dietary needs can change quite a bit. Their protein intake can increase by 16-20% during this time, and you'll need to compensate with a higher dose of protein. The best insects to give them during this time are mealworms, superworms, and of course, black soldier fly larvae. Check out our full article for all the details.

[post_content] => The main thing every bearded dragon owner should know about beardies is that they need a lot of dietary variety to stay healthy. Veggies can make up 85% of an adult beardy's diet, and the cost of leafy greens can add up. The best veggies to grow around your house to cut those costs are dandelion greens, collards, mustard greens, hibiscus, and carrot tops. Check out our full article for tips on how to landscape with your bearded dragon in mind.

[post_content] => Normal composting makes use of microscopic decomposers (bacteria and fungi) to slowly churn up your waste. Vermicomposting makes use of invertebrates, which are much more efficient at decomposing on a large scale. Normally, people either use red worms (earthworms) or black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) for vermicomposting. But which worm you choose depends on what you want to compost and what kind of scale you're working on. For all the details, check out our full article.

[post_content] => In a nutshell, brumation is the reptile equivalent of hibernation. Brumation is a very unpredictable process - some beardies never brumate, others brumate every year. During brumation, a bearded dragon will drop its body temperature and metabolism and enter a deep sleep. When you see the signs, you’ll know it’s time for a trip to the vet. After the vet confirms your beardy is not sick, you'll need to help them clear their digestive tract and start limiting their UV light. Check out our full article to find out how to prepare your beardy for brumation.
