The human laughs and the dog is tormented. <br /><br />This pig game strikes me as one more way for humans to torment animals. I do not think iPad games ought to be at the expense of live animals.Sunny CAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11451116932556227816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-27334221431365716912011-12-17T17:34:43.129-05:002011-12-17T17:34:43.129-05:00At home, we have one guinea pig (the last of four)...At home, we have one guinea pig (the last of four), 2 cats, 5 dogs, and 4 horses. I'm pretty sure that the horses would touch a bright light - they really are very curious. Perhaps I could put one of those screens in my barn, and combine monitoring the horses with play time? Oh wait, I don't have play time. Rodent wise, I've always loved guinea pigs because they talk to you (it's OK, antipsychotics on board). If I forget to feed the GP when the kids are away (the GP is in the teen-boy-cave upstairs), she calls for me at feeding time. Very sweet. Of course, one of the dogs (the border collie with an IQ double mine) simply brings me the food or water dish when there is an issue.PDFdocnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-4332967522096385532011-12-17T15:07:43.964-05:002011-12-17T15:07:43.964-05:00@Jane, actually I don't have one right now but...@Jane, actually I don't have one right now but was co-caretaker of the little guy in my avatar. They are not difficult at all, not expensive, but do require knowledge and have special requirements. For instance, they get stressed if you try to travel with them. They need out-of-cage excercise most every day. They require patience to win their trust. They bond very closely with people, and do best in bonded pairs, although they can be kept singly if given enough attention.<br /><br />There are a number of excellent books, esp. those by Pavia, Bartl, Alderton, and Vanderlip. Well worth reading!<br /><br />They are wonderful pets, that's for sure.jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11077223398907532291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-82011209501485606412011-12-17T15:02:45.236-05:002011-12-17T15:02:45.236-05:00and I added a bearded dragon lizard lickin' fl...and I added a bearded dragon lizard lickin' fliesRoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08735111026336537653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-1373739457078334532011-12-17T13:03:16.588-05:002011-12-17T13:03:16.588-05:00Jesse...you own a chinchilla!
