Just remember, you are going to have at least 10 hamsters after words. Dwarf hamsters are the hardest of them all, and you need to be VERY careful. Make you have a bunch of males, because they can kill each other.

Pet Meds for Keeping Fleas at Bay

Any pet—dog, cat, hamster, bunny—can suffer when fleas take up residence in their coats. That’s why it’s important to be proactive in keeping fleas at bay. But it takes more than a weekly bath with baby shampoo, and old-fashioned flea dips have gone the way of the Dodo Bird. Fortunately, these days pets can be protected from biting pests with any of a number of products.

Frontline Plus for Dogs and Puppies is one of the most effective medications to keep your dog—young or old—safe from fleas and other pests. This topical medication kills adult fleas as well as their eggs and larvae within twenty-four hours of application. Ticks, too, will fall before the powerful ingredients in Frontline Plus. The effects last for thirty days, even if your dog likes to swim or take regular baths. It’s easy to apply, too.

You simply squeeze the medicine onto your pet’s skin between her shoulder blades, and she’s good to go…and fleas, ticks, and lice are as good as gone.Revolution for Cats is an effective flea killer, too. It kills adult fleas and stops flea eggs from hatching. This safe monthly topical medication also prevents and controls heartworm disease and ear mite infestations as well as roundworm and hookworm infections. Non-greasy and quick-drying, it is a simple product to use and provides long lasting relief to your cat.

You can fight fleas with an internal control, too. Program Flavor Tabs for Dogs can be used on adult dogs and puppies as young as four weeks, to prevent and control fleas. It works by preventing flea eggs from developing. It won’t kill adult fleas, so you might need to use an additional product to take care of infestations of adult fleas. Capstar Tablets is one option to use with Program Flavor Tabs. Captstar Tablets kill adult fleas, plus they prevent eggs from hatching. Program makes Flavor Tabs for Cats too, and Capstar has formulated tablets for felines as well.

This collar offers total protection for your pet through all stages of the flea life cycle. Adult and young fleas will die quickly as will flea eggs, and the effects last for up to five months. This collar also kills ticks for the same period of time. It provides quick relief for your beloved pet and you can use it with little fear of side effects.

Hand Drawn Portraits for Your Pet

Animals are not just animals to some people. They are looked at as pets. Whether these are small or big pets, it does not matter to them. People love pets because they can become your good friends. They are excellent sources of companionship. The most common pet we see in households are dogs and cats. Some people have birds while others have the small ones like hamsters.

These well-loved animals provide us the companionship that we look for. It is even nice to see our pets quiet and just sitting or sleeping with us and simply following us with whatever we do or plan to do.

The lives of these animals are shorter than that of human beings. We even hear most of the time the term “dog years”. These pets play with us when we want to play with them. Others serve us by bringing our papers in the morning or by bringing our slippers when we get home. There are even dogs that help take care of our children and babies. They are no different from us.

It even comes to a point that we consider these pets as part of the family. Most family members take pictures with them. Sometimes, we take their solo pictures and with that, they look at the camera as if they know what we are doing to them. Since we consider them as part of the family, we would want to have a remembrance in our homes. An excellent way in keeping the memories of our pets alive is through hand drawn portraits.

We normally see hand drawn portraits in human beings. However, it is important to know that hand drawn portraits are not limited to people. The subject for hand drawn portraits could be anyone a hand drawn artist could think of.

Custom pet portraits are the interest of most pet owners. It brings the magic and fantasy to reality. If it has been your dream to have a child-friendly park or perhaps a church as background, custom pet portraits will be the best thing to do for your pet’s hand drawn portrait. This only proves to show that even for pets, we can customize the background or angle that we want to imagine.

If you do not have a sample photo of your ideal background for your pet, you might need to consider the experience of the hand drawn artist who will be customizing your pet portrait. Find out the ideas of your artist on parks or churches and how he or she can come up with that as a background and embed the image of your pet. Most of these hand drawn artists have customized images in their computers or archive which they can easily provide to their clients. You might even have a wide selection to choose from.

Hand drawn portraits for your pets will keep your memories alive with them. They are not only different but they also keep the two of you together for a lifetime. To get the most out of your portrait, select an artist that has an experience in customizing hand drawn portraits and you will be amazed at the possible outcomes of these portraits.

Breeding hamsters? Any advice?

Answer by Ironsun
Hi,

You’ve already asked this question, if you never saw my answer here it is again.

Firstly you’ll need a 4-5 month old female of course.

Hamsters come into season every four evening, the season begins from 8.00-9.30PM, and at only this time will she accept any male near her for mating. If she is not in season, she will attack any male.

You must take the the female to the males cage, never the other away around, otherwise again fighting will take place.

If she is ready to mate, once you put her in, she will “freeze” and stay very still for up to ½ hour while the male mates her several times. After each mating the male will clean himself.

Once they have finished, remove the female and place her back in her cage. If mating was successful, she will give birth in 16 days.

And my experiance is 20 years of breeding them.

What do you think? Answer below!

Norwegian Elkhound Dog Breed History, Health Issues, Grooming, Living Conditions and Temperament

Description: This is a medium-sized dog which is sturdy to look at. With the visual Spitz look, the Norwegian Elkhound is short and square to look at, which enhances their sturdy look. With his wedge shaped head, that is broad, and the thick muzzle. The teeth should meet in a scissor bite. It has oval shaped eyes and these are dark brown. The ears are definite but mobile. The chest is deep and is somewhat wide. From the front view, their legs appear straight, with small and tight, oval paws with thick pads. The tail is curled tightly and is set high over the back of the dog. This breed has a weather resistant double coat, that is bulky and solid. The colour of this dog is grey with black tips and a lighter tummy and undercoat, with their black muzzle, ears and tip of the tail. The height of this breed is 19 to 21 inches for the dog and 18 to 20 inches for the ******. Their weight for dogs is 50 to 60 pounds and the ****** is 40 to 55 pounds. This breed has a life expectancy of about 12 to 15 years.

History: The Norwegian Elkhound came from Scandinavia and is a very ancient breed, being thousands of years old. This dog would have worked as a hunting and guard dog for the Vikings, where they would have been utilised for tracking big and small game, working as a team with hunters. This dog works better at night, and is also adept as a sledge dog. If Norway were to go into war, then the Minister of defence can mobilise and use all privately owned Elkhounds. This breed was first shown at the Norwegian hunters Association in 1877. The AKC first recognized this breed in 1913. Due to this breed’s friendly and reliability, it is now a more enchanting family pet living in our homes.

]]>

Temperament: The Norwegian Elkhound is a bold loyal and friendly dog, he is alert dog, but can be somewhat reserved with strangers. This breed is the same as other Arctic dogs insomuch as having a strong mind of their own, and being independent. On saying this, they are affectionate to the family and shown great loyalty. This is a hard breed to train, in obedience, due to their independent thinking. However, with the firm, fair, pack leader, discipline can be obtained. This dog likes to roam, and it is part of the breed makeup to do so. This breed can bark, particularly on the night patrols and may well need teaching to stop barking. They can develop a tendency to fight with other dogs, but with early socialisation and a firm pack leader, the owner, this can be averted. It is wise to remember this is a hunting dog, and should not be trusted with small pets such as hamster’s mice and rats. This dog can be highly strung, if not given the most opportunity to use up their mental and physical energy’s.

Health issues: The Norwegian Elkhound breed is prone to hip dysplasia, PRA, pyotraumatic dermatitis, and sometimes we can see Fanconi syndrome. This dog can gain weight easily, so must not be overfed.

Grooming: The Norwegian Elkhound breed needs brushing, regularly, with extra care given to the coat, during the shedding season. The hairs stick to each other when the dog is shedding so removing with a rubber brush is important. As this dogs’ coat contains natural oils bathing should not be done, as it strips the natural oils.

Living conditions: The Norwegian Elkhound dog does well with a large garden and is still active indoors. The Norwegian elkhound can live in an apartment if exercise requirements are met.

Awkward hamster mating. Don’t worry, I’m a breeder for a pet store. :)

Exploring Marketing Campaigns That Generate Buzz

Public relations and marketing campaigns can be designed to effectively stimulate positive word-of-mouth buzz, which is an exponential expansion of word of mouth (WOM). The key to generating buzz is to generate excitement. There are various techniques that marketers can use to successfully accomplish this.

Buzz marketing has made massive successes of products and brands including Pokemon, Beanie Babies, Tickle-me-Elmo, the Harry Potter books, and Zhu Zhu Pets toy hamsters. Word can spread exponentially with little or no mass media advertising supporting it.

Successful National Buzz Marketing Campaigns Include…

During the 2004 Summer Olympics, Dodge launched the Pontiac G6. In the marketing campaign for the product launch, Dodge aired short “teaser” ads with an edgy rock theme and the G6 logo, but no car! The idea of this marketing campaign was to create build-up to the launch and generate buzz.

More recently, ABC crafted a marketing campaign for the premier of the final season of their hit show LOST. The campaign generated lots of buzz, especially online. They released trailers and commercials for the new season that did not feature any new footage. This kept online fan forums buzzing with speculations on what was to come.

Another way a marketing campaign can generate buzz is through product samplings. During the 2010 Super Bowl Dockers aired a commercial advertising a free pants giveaway. By the next morning the phrase “Dockers free pants” was the top-trending search term on Google, the leading search engine.

Using the Internet to Effectively Generate Buzz…

]]>

BuzzAgent.com is a Web site based company designed to help marketing campaigns spread buzz. The site recruits everyday people to actively spread word-of-mouth about products their clients are looking to promote. Anyone can join Buzz Agent’s WOM marketing network to try new products and spread word of mouth. Some of their current campaigns include DANON Dan Active, Starbucks Pike Place Roast, and Mrs. Paul’s.

Additional Internet Marketing Techniques for Leveraging Buzz include:

Viral marketing - This is an online “pass it along” strategy. It uses electronic marketing communications to trigger brand messages throughout a widespread network of buyers. Viral marketing is often accomplished through Email Marketing Campaigns and the distributions of Electronic Press Releases.
Social Media – Social media can be used to generate buzz amongst a large network of people. Companies can create Facebook fan pages for their products or brands, Tweet about the latest news, and much more using social media sites. Online video distributions on sites like YouTube can also be very effective for product promotion.
Online Guides -These serve as online opinion leaders. About.com, for example, utilizes online guides to provide original consumer information and advice.
