What do you mean by "Critter Care Review?"

Hello world,

I want to help fellow pet owners take the best care of their pets by making shopping choices easier, and by providing care tips. I've done a lot of research on all of my pets - which I'll list a bit later, and have purchased many different "beddings," litters, foods, treats, brushes, shampoos, etc. Each blog post I hope to post a picture of the item in use, list positives and negatives, and my general opinion of the item.

Why should you care what I have to say? Mostly just because I've purchased - and learned, and have many animals to learn from. I've bought things that I wish I wouldn't have, and hope other owners can save their money, or provide their input. This blog is open for discussion, I enjoy learning about my pets, and it'll help others to be able to read and become more knowledgeable from more than one viewpoint.

My animals - some are family pets, but I buy things for everyone, so I'll include them. You'll get to know them through time in blog entries...

I have a german shepherd border collie cross that is 9 years old, named Sheba. She was adopted by my family in 2002, at only 2 years old. She still is a very active girl, but has a heart condition which she is on medication for.
Ember is my personal dog, though loved by my parents as well. She is a pit bull greyhound mix (to the best of my knowledge), she is only 2 years old, very intense and high energy. I adopted her from NJ, my beloved friend of over 10 years who fostered her gave me the heads up she was available, so out I went to get her.
I have two mini-lop rabbits, Delilah and Henrietta, both just 1 year old. I bought them last year at our local fair, unfortunately I did not realize about rescue rabbits at the time - but supporting a child in 4-h isn't bad in my opinion.
I also have two gerbils, Licorice and Tex, not sure on the age, very spastic little things, my worst impulse buy from a pet store. I've learned and will only buy from a reputable breeder, or rescue now - unless you want unhealthy animals, or if you don't mind being bitten, do not buy from a pet store.
I also have a pair of leopard geckos, and five aquariums with tropical fish and one cold-water tank with goldfish.
Lastly, I have two cats, Rascal a large tiger male, and Tasha, a small dilute tortie female. Tasha was "rescued" from my 4 year old niece who was too rough with her, and Rascal was born outside of our home we kept him, and gave the rest to Centre County Paws and they're now all loved and fixed.


Thank you to any readers,
