Most everyone loves pets and wildlife but boy, can they get expensive. Here are some ideas for saving money on your animal friends.
Does Your Critter's Metal Cage Rust?
Metal cages that house small animals have a tendency to get a rusty bottom from moisture, bedding and plain romping around. To protect your animal's floor and be able to easily clean, place vinyl tiles down and it will be a snap to care for.
When Ants Attack Your Pet's Food
Your pet dish may be located in an area with a cement floor that attracts ants. Take the food bowl and place in a larger dish. Add a little water to the larger dish. The ants will not cross the stream in search of food and will go away.
Does Your Kitty Have a Belly Ache?
Boil up some rice, strain and add to your pet's food. The cooked rice acts as a binding agent and will immediately make your animal feel better. This remedy works for dogs as well.
Save Dollars On That Wild Bird Seed
Wild birds love bread products. Start saving dried out bread and pizza crust and tear into small pieces. Place in a plastic bowl and put outside. The crumbs from your toaster will also make a nice treat along with the bread. Your feathered friends will love you.
Look At All The Hummingbirds
Hummingbirds love the color red. Paint red stripe on your hummingbird feeder with nail polish and add red food coloring to their water. They'll appear out of nowhere. You'll also be able to tell when the water is getting low..
