Covid-19 has led to a surge in Aussies wanting to become pet owners and there's plenty more to choose from than just cats and dogs. Julie O'Shea, founder of the hen rescue charity Who Gives a Cluck, says Covid-19 has led to a surge in inquiries from those wanting hens of their own with some looking for a new hobby and others after pets for their new rural abodes. The charity rescues hens from farms when they hit 18 months or so, a period at which they begin to lay less eggs. If they weren't rescued at this age they'd be culled (another word for euthanased). Instead, they're rescued by Julie and her team of volunteers. "I give every hen a thorough physical, plus the royal spa treatment consisting of a full body massage with lice mite treatment, tonic for internal worms, pedicure to remove those clumps of mud they can accumulate in big flocks, an ear nose and throat check and then finally, an essential oil mini massage of their comb and wattle....

Cleaning a betta fish aquarium Betta fish might be small, but they still require a sizable amount of care. If you're going to keep this type of fish, you must learn how to clean a betta fish tank.  Even with a quality aquarium filter, betta tanks can become overwhelmed with nitrates and other toxins if you don't clean them and partially change their water regularly, which can ultimately be fatal.  Keep reading to learn all the steps involved in cleaning a betta fish tank, plus some other helpful information to make the process go more smoothly.  How often should you clean a betta fish tank?  This depends on the size of your tank and the setup. You should never keep a betta fish in a tank any smaller than 5 gallons, but larger is better. Something between 15-20 gallons, such as the Tetra ColorFusion Aquarium, is ideal for a betta fish and a handful of suitable tankmates. The main benefit of a larger tank is that it provides a more enriching environment for your fish,...

My love of raw oysters began in 1988, when an 8-year-old me spent a warm summer evening on Cape Cod tipping back raw oysters with my dad on the back porch of a family friend's house. For years — well into my 20s — I had difficulty understanding why anyone would ever cook oysters when they were so clearly superior consumed raw. I first had my eyes opened when I worked at Uni, Ken Oringer's restaurant in Boston, then a sashimi bar, where he had us cook oysters over a coal-fired Japanese binchotan grill until they were just barely warmed through. They were finished with a kabayaki-style glaze (the soy and sake glaze you'd typically find brushed over grilled freshwater eel) enriched with butter. The low heat of the binchotan and the classic Japanese pairing of seafood with a sweet and savory sauce made for an experience that added flavor, while still allowing the delicate brininess of the oyster to shine through. Later, my appreciation of grilled oysters was c...

A Pitt student’s guide to buying the perfect fish - University of Pittsburgh The Pitt News A Pitt student’s guide to buying the perfect fish - University of Pittsburgh The Pitt News Posted: 28 Jun 2021 11:33 AM PDT By Diana Velasquez, Culture Editor June 28, 2021 One of the best things about going to college is that you have free reign over what your room is going to look like — no matter where you live. It's a clean slate in a way, compared to our childhood bedrooms which are painted in a garish neon green or pink we insisted on as 11-year-olds. One of the more drastic steps you can take in your college journey is getting a living, breathing companion to share your space with. I'd suggest holding off on getting a dog or a cat. One, they're not allowed in the dorms, and even once you move out you don't want to be scooping soiled kitty litter with a Sunday morning hangover in your small South O ap...

Well, we have a great selection below for you to consider. All the fish listed below have been carefully selected for a number of reasons from hardiness, price, size and feeding habits.
