Schaben

HW-Terra erklärt den Winterversand
Warum im Winter alles etwas anders ist, und wie wir Sie gut durch den Winter bringen!

Genau dazu bieten wir unseren Terraristik Freunde bei HW Terra einen ganz besonderen Service. Denn nichts ist wichtiger, als das Wohl Ihrer kleinen Reptilien.

Was muss man also beachten, wenn Sie Schaben online bestellen.

Warum Winterversand bei Schaben?

Damit Ihre Futtertiere wie Schaben und Heuschrecken im Winter während des Versands nicht erfrieren, müssen wir einen kleinen Trick anwenden. Insekten sind wechselwarme Tiere, d.h. sie können keine eigene Körperwärme erzeugen (ganz anders als beim Menschen) und sind abhängig von der Umgebungstemperatur. Sinkt im Winter diese unter 0°, können die Insekten erfrieren. Um das zu vermeiden, benutzen wir unsere Winterverpackungen, die ein Auskühlen der Transportbox verhindert.

Wie Winterversand bei Schaben?
Wir bieten eine sogenannte Winterverpackung an, diese Thermoverpackung besteht aus einer Kombination aus Isolierung und Erwärmung. Ein mehrwelliger Karton und spezielle Styroporplatten (20-30 mm), die passend in den Karton eingesteckt werden, sorgen für eine optimale Isolierung. Wärme wird durch ein sog. 40 Stunden Heatpack erzeugt, ein Heizelement, dass bei Kontakt mir Luftsauerstoff reagiert und dabei Wärme erzeugt (bis zu 40h).

Wann Winterversand bei Schaben?
Grundsätzliche empfehlen wir einen Winterversand von November bis April.
Sinken die Temperaturen dauerhaft unter 5°, und nachts unter den Gefrierpunkt, ist eine Winterverpackung unerlässlich.

Kosten beim Schaben online Winterversand?
Die Thermo-Winterverpackung bekommen unsere Kunden zum Vorzugspreis von nur 2,99 EUR (inkl. 1 Heatpack).

Besonderheiten Winterversand
Manchmal liegen die Futtertiere wie Schaben und Wüstenheuschrecken im Winter wie „tot“ in dem Versandkarton, keine Sorge, dass ist lediglich ein genialer Schutzmechanismus der Natur, die Kältestarre.
Sinkt die Temperatur unter 3°C, fallen Insekten eher oder später in diese Kältestarre, einige können dadurch so gar Temperaturen bis -10°C kurzfristig überleben.
Bei Zimmertemperatur erholen sich Ihre Futtertiere innerhalb kürzester Zeit.

Das Beachten wir alles, wenn Sie bei HW Terra Schaben online kaufen.

The BC-50 and Its Benefits

Dogs are wonderful companions and most people love them, except when they go on barking sprees that might intimidate some people, or when they bark so much that your neighbors can’t sleep at night. In these situations, what you need is the BC 50 no bark collar.

Man’s Best Friends

Dogs are our best friends. Through their love and actions, they earn a place in our families hearts. However, sometimes our four-legged friends are a bit overly excited. When this happens, our best friends can start to bark more than we would like them to. But you can solve this situation easily with the automatic no bark collar that can control your dog’s barking.

Why The BC-50

This BC-50 is a great innovation for your dog’s barking problems. Why? Because it humanely takes care of the problem (PetSafe Approved). The BC-50 is strapped onto your dog’s neck and is worn for specific periods during the day. The collar only uses a 6V battery, and thus, it’s very light. There’s no need for remote controls as the collar will activate itself automatically when your dog starts barking. You can have your pooch wear it in the park, at home, or anywhere else, rain or shine. This is possible, because the BC-50 is completely water resistant.

The BC-50 is actually a great teaching tool. The collar gets your dog to learn not to bark. If you dedicate some quality training time to your dog and the collar, pretty soon all you’ll need to do is show your dog the collar to make him stop barking.

Why Should You Choose Innotek?

Ever since starting our business, we have been trying out all the products that we sell on our own pets. That includes the BC 50 bark collar. When tested, the collar delivered results with our own dogs. That’s why we are confident when we recommend you try it with your pet.

Innotek’s BC50 Anti Bark Collar delivers results in a humane way that doesn’t hurt your loved pet. It’s a humane and effective tool. We have also tested it at home, so we can guarantee it.

Show Your Dog How Much you Love Them

There are specialized web sites featuring boutiques for pets and pet lovers. Symbolic Swarowsky crystal charms seem to make the perfect birthday present for our cats and dogs. We can also pick one of the unique aromatic bandanas and of course, chic pet accessories and collars.

Among the hand-made products, we can find exclusive item lines like meaningful charms, engraved on the back side with identification, containing Celtic and Feng Shui elements for protection, luck, harmony, longevity, and loyalty. And because the bond between a man and his pet is, above all, a spiritual one, Mandala charms might just be the perfect choice to reinforce the bonds with nature and the universe and the healing gemstones jewelry for enhanced relaxation, health and well-being.
Just in case we might feel left out, we also have the opportunity to purchase exquisite items for us as well to go perfectly with our pet’s accessories: fashionable bags, meaningful jewelry, bracelets and collar necklace and a wide variety of gemstone jewelry. Some designers offer their exclusive items at wholesale rates to qualified resellers. Pet jewelry and accessories are in popular demand at pet stores, boutiques, shows, events, private groomers, trainers and veterinarians!

And because I mentioned about Feng Shui, I would like to tell you more about its meaning and benefits for both us and our pets, but also for those pet lovers raising one eyebrow as they are reading this article.

Feng Shui is based on the five vital elements: water, fire, earth, wood, and metal. Each Feng Shui element has unique properties that interact with each other. Each element is associated with a color, season, shape, compass direction, taste and organ of the body. This theory is applied not just to object arrangement of living spaces, but also to Chinese medicine and astrology!

For example, water can be both calming and tranquil (as in a gentle stream or placid lake), or violent and destructive (as in a flood). Water elements in the home renew the flow of chi and rejuvenate the body and spirit. Fire represents creativity and enthusiasm. This is a powerful element that should be used moderately, as too much may suppress chi rather than strengthening or increasing it. Earth is symbolized by a firm foundation of balance and logic. This element should also be used conservatively, as too much will stifle the flow of energy. Wood enhances creativity, innovation, self-actualization and strong, sustainable energy. Metal stands for wealth and prosperity. This element promotes wisdom, mental strength and maturity.

The art of Feng Shui balances each element so that the positive energy, known as “chi”, can flow. So, why don’t you give your beloved pet all the chi he/she can get? Go with the “flow”!

Cat Care: Dos and Don’ts of feeding
cat care
When choosing for pet to have for your kids at home, the cats are perhaps one of the most preferred options; this does involve some basic cat care though. Feline animals are cuddly, colorful, extremely playful and easy to train. Although there are some innate attitudes that you might find destructive or maddening such as constant scratching which could be done on any furniture at home either on your couch or bookshelf, peeing unto the rugs on the doorway or hair left on your pillow and bed sheets, these and more can be addressed with proper and patient training.
As they are not self-sufficient, they constantly need the guidance and help of their owners on whatever activities that they would want to do most especially those that are part of their necessities such as grooming, feeding as well as waste disposal.
Just like any creature, cats require food to live. Although the requirements vary from one breed to another, it is true for all feline creatures that they should be given something to eat at least once daily. It should also be remembered that as animals, they are highly dependent of us.

Their routine is also governed by memory; therefore, owners should feed their pet at the same time and corner of the house everyday. This will help your pet remember where the food is stationed and their diet habits will be maintained.

Feeding your feline companion is not just simply the act of giving food. Important gestures for cat care should be known for your cat to enjoy every feeding session. Here are some tips to follow:

• Cats though playful would prefer to have a nice and quiet place for eating. It is therefore important that you choose that spot in your home that is far away from the busy spot of your home. It is then not advisable to feed your pet in the corner of your kitchen easily during breakfast. For choosing the spot, make sure that you can easily clean the surface where the food bowl was stationed for it is unavoidable that your pet will have spillage. A tiled floor or mat is best recommended.

• If you have more than one cat, be sure to station their food bowls distant from each other. This is to avoid confrontation or bullying especially among old and younger felines.

• Drastically changing the food you give your pet will result in indigestion. Therefore, if you plan to change their food, slowly introduce it by mixing a portion of the old food with the new one until such time that they get use to the new taste and color. Canned foods opened beyond 24 hours should not be given to your pet as well as wet food, which has been standing for more than 20 minutes for this will also render upset stomach. Do not mix new ration with leftovers.

Cat care is important to the overall health of your pet. Visit my website for more information.

Secrets of puppy crate training!

With a puppy comes responsibility. A big decision to make at first is choosing where your puppy will sleep.

Then you have to decide what you are going to do with the puppy when you are not at home. For those who have left a puppy alone, they know how the puppy can run amuck when you are away.

Puppies are young and don’t realize they have boundaries. They don’t know what they may and may not do. They don’t know what their limits are.

They chew the couch and chairs and pretty much everything else. They pee all over. They will get into anything.

Child gates can keep them in a small area. It’s a good idea to make that area somewhere without carpet so if they pee it doesn’t get in the carpet.

You should always use a puppy pad. The bad thing about a puppy pad is that the puppy can chew your cabinet bottoms, but they will miss the pad early on.

The will spill their water and food. Getting a crate and crate training your puppy is a good way to train. There are some really good things about crate training.

It is a great tool for helping potty train the puppy. When the puppy urinates in a confined space and then has to sit on or near their urine

This helps them learn quickly to wait until they have a better place to pee. It’s a better method than pad training.

Cage training also helps with sleeping habits. The puppy knows where it will sleeping and it helps set regular hours

The crate should be large enough that your puppy can stand up and turn around in it, but you don’t want to get one any larger.

The best kind of cage for potty training is a metal one. Soft ones look really nice but should really only be used for travel.

Puppies can chew their way out of these ones. I know; it happened with my puppy. Some people don’t think crates are kind for animals. They think they can depress the animal.

But I don’t believe it is at all cruel. I have seen a lot of dogs who run to their kennels excitedly when it is time to go to sleep. It’s a safe place for them to go.

It’s their space. You can even find them there when they are tired or when they don’t have to be there.

It’s important for dogs to have a routine and to know what to expect. If crate training is hard you can put a bone in the crate so the puppy has something to look forward to. That is often helpful.

The Best Dog Food Varies From Dog To Dog

When you walk down the aisles looking for dog food, you are going to come across a wide range that is available in pet stores and supermarkets today. Choosing the best dog food can be an extremely difficult process as we all want the best for our dog. If you are like us, then you think of your dog as not only a pet, but a best friend as well as a member of your family. Many veterinarians are faced with questions about the best dog food. So, what is the best? Honestly, there is no true answer or definition.

That’s right, there is no one best food that is suitable for all dogs. However, you will be able to narrow that answer down by taking a close look at your dog. You see, dogs are a lot like people. Some of them are very active to the point that they have been labeled “hyper.” Then, you have other dogs that are build big and tough like the wonderful pit bull, while you have others that are small and not so tough.

Each dog will need to have a diet tailored specifically to their physical needs. You will need to really understand your pet and what he or she is in need of. First, the raw materials that are used in order to provide the nutritional value is something that you need to look into.

You are going to notice that those commercial dog foods are either meat-based or grain-based. Many experts will agree that in order to maintain a dogs good health, you should choose a diet that is based on meat.

Why choose a meat-based diet for the dog? Well, the dogs digestive system can easily extract the nutrient value from this type of food. Protein is a necessary component in order to keep dogs healthy. Those meat based foods are high in protein. Some of those foods are produced from fish, beef, lamb, turkey and venison. You have many in the field that feel that chicken-based dog food would be the best choice.

As you see, there is no such thing as one best brand of dog food for all dogs. Why? Because you just learned that each and every dogs nutritional needs are different. In order to determine the best food for your dog, we highly recommend you taking a look at your dog as well as the nutritional needs.

Horse Training

If you’ve been riding for awhile, chances are great that you’ve found yourself traveling down the wrong training path at some point in time. Perhaps you have useda training technique into your routine that resulted in horse behavior that wasn’t quite what you had in mind. Or maybe a few overzealous reprimands on your part resulted in some unforeseen, undesirable modes of misbehavior in your horse that you’d like to eliminate.

I recently heard a profound statement that I think says it all: When treated unfairly, the horse will never forget the trespass, but it is within his capacity to forgive it. An Arabian gelding I once owned and started under saddle had a small problem with trailer loading; he’d simply plant his feet and refuse to get in for a long time. Sadly, since I seldom needed to haul him anywhere, I neglected this weakness in his training. After a few months of patient and consistent under-saddle training, he was once again trustworthy to ride.

Two fundamentals of behavioral modification therapy, desensitization and counterconditioning, had been applied to retrain this horse with a successful outcome. Desensitization is the process of making an animal less reactive to a situation by accustoming him to the fearful stimulus. Praise and other reinforcers were delivered in abundance for appropriate behavior, while the potential for a swift correction kept inappropriate behavioral tendencies in check.

To Know that consistent, appropriate training can eventually turn most of our mistakes around shouldn’t be taken as license to experiment with different training tactics. The fact is, it’s very difficult to undo a horse’s initial training, regardless of whether those early lessons were correct or incorrect. In a 1994 study, which was presented in the journal Applied Animal Behaviour Science, I taught 17 previously untrained yearlings and 2-year-old horses to discriminate between a black and a white feed bucket for a food reward. In other words, if black had always been correct for that horse, once he developed consistency at choosing the black bucket every time, I stopped giving food for choosing black and instead started giving food only for choosing the white bucket.

Think of the implications of the fact that most horses tested were not able to reverse their initial training. In fact, in similar studies of other herbivorous species (such as cattle), similar results were obtained, lending support to the theory that first training experiences are of critical importance in the overall trainability of domestic prey species. Of course, in actual horse training the rider improves the potential for retraining by guiding the horse through the learning process, whereas in these studies the horses had to try to figure everything out by themselves.

Not only are the content and consistency of the horse’s training important, but so is the frequency at which the lessons are delivered. In a Cornell University study, 15 ponies were trained to clear a small hurdle on three different time schedules; group I ponies were trained seven days a week, group II ponies were trained two times a week, and group III ponies were trained just once a week. After this trialexperiment, the ponies were reassigned to two different groups and taught to back up, and once again the ponies trained just once a week learned the task in fewer sessions. It seems that horses, like humans, don’t learn as efficiently when things are drilled into them as they do when they have adequate downtime between sessions. To train horses effectively, we should try to allow enough time between the lessons to maximize learning.

In her book The Problem Horse, Karen Bush suggests that training should follow a steady, logical progression, as attempting to teach more in a session than the horse is mentally capable of learning can lead to resistance and confusion-based behavioral problems, and ultimately to vices and evasions. The rider should achieve dominance through an intelligent approach, rather than through force, which breeds distrust and increases the potential for violent behavior. She further states that horses have excellent and long memories, particularly for unpleasant experiences, and that many behavior problems can be traced back to past events.

Trainers should never consider it too late to repair the destruction of a misguided training attempt. If the training problem has been going on long enough for undesirable habits to be ingrained, it will just take more time and patience to undo the damage. Sometimes the assistance of a professional trainer may be required to help turn around a longlasting behavior problem. For example, one of my horses is normally willing to cross water on the trails. When we moved to a new stall, my husband and I rode the horses out together to explore the trails in the area. We had been told ahead of time by the barn owners where the best place to cross a 4-foot deep, 20-foot wide creek would be, and as we approached the area, we discovered that the banks descending to the creek were quite steep. Since the horses had many previous experiences with water crossings, I took the mare I was riding immediately into and across the creek. The mare Steve was on balked at the steep bank and deep, murky water below. I decided to climb on and give the water crossing a try myself, planning to get the mare into the creek and then to steer her upstream until she finally relaxed.

After time we went back (this time without any sedatives on board), I once again led the mare into the creek and then climbed back on and rode her into and out of the stream.

Why did the new skill work when the first one did not? The new technique resulted in success because we recognized the initial training problem early (and rather significantly), before bad habits were set in stone, and thought out an alternate approach that alleviated our horse’s agnst and cultivated her trust. It pays to step back and reassess training situations where the horse’s behavior indicates that something in your approach just isn’t working. It’s never too late to try to rectify your training mistakes-some just take longer to resolve than others.
