I’m yet to find a little girl who wouldn’t want this gorgeous cage for her furry friend. The looping tubes provide exercise and fun, while the extra rooms provide more space for your hamster without taking up more of your bedroom.

Boys, on the other hand, will love the futuristic look of this cage. The tubing and pods are great fun, and give your hamster loads of room. A mezzanine level in the main cage adds even more space.

Mr Snugs Outdoor Cat Kennel

When I was a kid, we didn’t have a cat flap for our two cats, so during the day or at night they would have to make do with a wooden, outdoor cat kennel. This thing had been handmade by my granddad and was, unfortunately, draughty, leaky and a bit rotten. It really wasn’t ideal, so I was really excited to see the Mr Snugs Outdoor Cat Kennel.

Image of Mr Snugs Outdoor Cat KennelThis fantastic kennel is ideal for cat owners who don’t have a cat flap, or would like to provide shelter for feral or stray cats. It provides shade during hot weather, and is made from one piece of plastic so it’s completely waterproof. The recessed entrance ensures that the inside is kept completely dry and draught-proof.  It’s a million miles away from the dilapidated wooden structure that my poor cats had to put up with!

Check out the Mr Snugs Outdoor Cat Kennel product page for more information, as well as some great reviews from cat lovers who think it’s simply perfect!

Fun Wooden Toys For Your Parrot

As any responsible owner will know, parrots are incredibly intelligent and need plenty of stimulation to stop them from becoming bored and stressed. Over the last few days, we’ve been adding a fantastic new range of wooden parrot toys to our site. These are really quick and easy to install in your bird’s cage and provide hours of amusement.

Image of Coconut & Natural Wood Swing With Colourful Blocks

For example, this hanging toy features two different types of wood as well as coconut shell and rope. The different materials and textures provide great stimulation, and the hidden perch makes climbing on the toy a lot of fun.

Parrots enjoy climbing and being able to move around their cage, making this suspension bridge an ideal choice. It adds a great extra dimension to your bird’s cage as most climbing toys tend to hand straight down.

Finally, how could your bird NOT be entertained with this great perch? As well as providing somewhere to roost and climb on, the leather strips are a fun extra touch.

The great thing about these toys is that the bright colours and mixtures of shapes, textures and materials are really fun for your parrot to play with. Also, by climbing and chewing on the wooden parts, it will help to look after their beak and claws.

Just don’t forget that no amount of toys can substitute human interaction, so make sure that you spend plenty of time with your parrot!

Bearded Dragon Starter Kits

This blog has been rather fur-centric recently, so today I thought I would turn my attention to one of the most popular lizards to keep as pets: the bearded dragon.

Native to Australia, bearded dragons grow to a maximum of 60cm and feature a distinctive, spiky “ruff” around their face as well as beautiful, sandy coloured markings. The spiky ridges along their side look pretty menacing, but dragons are actually very gentle animals.

Bearded dragons make fantastic first lizards as they’re one of the easiest species to look after and are great pets for older children. They’re active during the day, don’t need a huge amount of space and are very easy to handle. When it comes to their diet they require vegetables as well as insects, and they’re easily homed in a vivarium like most other lizards.

Image of 3ft/36" Bearded Dragon Vivarium Starter Kit

If your interest is peaked, but you don’t know where to start, The Pet Express has you covered! We have a fantastic Bearded Dragon Starter Kit that comes with everything you need. As well as a gorgeous beech VivExotic vivarium, we’ve included dishes, a heating rock, sand, slate, plants and two heat lamps. We even throw in a fantastic manual that has all the information you need to keep your bearded dragon happy, comfortable and healthy.

In fact, our Bearded Dragon Starter Kit is so complete, all you need to add is the dragon itself! If you’re in the South West of the UK check out our Ark Pet Centres in Plymouth, Exeter and Torquay, and our friendly staff will be happy to help you find your perfect dragon.

Amazing Java Wood Pet Accessories

The more eagle-eyed of you will have noticed some fantastic new accessories being added to our site recently, made from Java wood.

Java wood comes all the way from Indonesia, where it is harvested from eco-friendly trees. The bark is stripped from the wood, and then is it sanded and baked for a month. This makes the wood very hard wearing and easy to clean, which is just perfect for pets! Also, every item is hand carved and, due to natural variations in the wood, is therefore completely unique and very beautiful.

Image of Java Reptile Branch - Medium

All the benefits Java wood make it suitable for so many different animals. These great reptile branches make perfect additions to any vivariums, and are available in four different sizes. Because they’re easy to clean, they won’t harbour insects.

Image of Java Bird Toy Branch - Medium

The toughness of Java wood makes it great for parrots, too. These fun branches are available in three sizes, and are more than strong enough to stand up to your parrot’s beak! The attached toys also provide lots of fun for your bird.

Finally, this incredible cat playground really shows off just how gorgeous Java wood can be, and it’s great for keeping your cat’s claws away from your furniture! If the whole thing is a bit much, its separate units are all available to buy separately.

Whatever your pet, there’s bound to be a Java wood item that’s just perfect for them. If you’re looking for a new accessory for a cage or vivarium, Java wood really is one of the best choices available.

New Parrot Cages from Rainforest Cages

This week we’ve been really busy adding our fantastic new range of parrot cages to the site. Rainforest Cages are a leading manufacturer of parrot and bird cages, and we’re really very excited to be able to offer their current selection to you!

All Rainforest Cages feature a number of great features to make life safer and more comfortable for your parrot, and easier for you! All of their parrot cages have parrot-proof clock face locks, and all of their feeder doors are spring loaded to keep them shut. The cages are even finished with a special paint called Avi-Coat, that’s completely free of lead and any other toxins.

Rainforest Cages’ range is fantastic and whatever size bird you own, whether you’re a casual owner or a breeder, you’ll find a cage that’s just perfect for you and your bird. Take a look at these three that show just how great their range is.

Image of Rainforest Cages Santa Rosa Bird Cage

Perfect for budgies or finches, the Santa Rosa is a beautiful cage. While it doesn’t feature the special locks or paint, you can be sure that it’s the best possible cage available for your small birds.

Image of Rainforest Cages Bolivia Play Top parrot cage - Antique

For larger birds, such as an African Grey, I love this Bolivia cage. The skirt around the bottom keeps waste and food inside the cage, which would be a godsend considering how messy my parrot is! It also has a great stand on top, which is ideal for when you want to let your bird out.

Image of Rainforest Cages Parrot Aviary and House

Finally, we have an aviary for serious parrot owners! Perfect for macaws and cockatoos, it features everything that makes Rainforest Cages so great and it even comes with a house for your birds to rest or sleep in. It can even be set up indoors, if you have the space!

Luxury dog beds!

Crufts is well and truly over now, but we’ve just added a fantastic range of luxury dog beds, that are sure to make your canine friend feel like Best In Show!

Image of Oxford II Dog Bed - Medium - Black/Slate

The Oxford II dog bed is the ultimate in luxury for your dog! Incredibly stylish and comfy, it’s available in two different colours to ensure it looks great in your home. With a fabric cushion and matching pillow inside, your dog is sure to absolutely love it and the three different sizes means that it’s suitable for any breed. I think it’s especially great for larger dogs like German Shepherds or huskies.

Image of Richmond Dog Bed - Small - Pink

For smaller dogs, and perfect for pampered pooches, we have the Richmond dog bed. Pretty in pink, it’s made from classy faux leather and looks just great. Its fantastic pink colour means that it’ll catch everyone’s eye, I love it!

Image of Kensington Dog/Cat Bed - Medium

But, if neither you nor your dog particularly like the leather look, we have the wonderful Kensington dog bed. Its classical Chaise Longue design and neutral colour is just gorgeous. While it’s suitable for smaller dogs, it’s also perfect for cats, too. That is, of course, if your dog doesn’t mind sharing!
