But this relationship privilege comes with a handful of responsibilities
But this relationship privilege comes with a handful of responsibilities, as
pets are not an accessory that can be cast aside and forgotten, but are animal
companions that need care, love and affection.A responsible pet owner should
invest time, energy and money into the pet’s needs — which include proper
housing (in China PP
sheets manufacturers case of reptiles, amphibians, fish and insects -
terrarium/aquarium, heating, water and hide); health care protocols like
vaccinations, parasite control, feeding (meeting the food requirements of the
species), cleanliness and so on.
Exotic pets should be kept in captivity until
their death or you should provide alternative arrangements for such a time, when
one can no longer provide for them, as releasing them into our backyard is
illegal and will create an ecological imbalance. As a responsible pet owner, one
should commit to selecting a pet that is suitable for your household/home. In
case of exotic pets, please keep a record on the type of food you feed, the
amount of food you feed and the time at which it’s been fed.While keeping an
exotic pet, one should fulfill all legalities pertaining to the species,
including local ordinances, licensing, handling requirements and so on.
One
should also make sure that you are thorough and up to date on the species and
its identity and are comfortable handling them, if needed. Keeping your pet
happy and healthy can be a little tricky and it does require time, money and
discipline. Always keep personal records for your pets including your
observations.Remember, when you adopt/provide for a pet, you are committing to
care for the animal for its entire life, because owning a pet is a privilege but
also a big responsibility.Observation is the key to keeping any animals as pets.
In case of breeding your pets, please be responsible. Do not allow your pet to
be stray or feral. Observing your pet will help you understand a lot about its
behaviour and potential problems it faces. Keeping your pet happy and healthy
can be a little tricky and it does require time, money and discipline.
