Disaster management is a much talked about word these days. With the world facing severe droughts, tsunamis, cyclones, hurricanes, floods and earthquakes; its importance has risen substantially.
However, how many of us think about pets at the time of disaster? If you have pet, it’s a part of your family only. So, some planning should be made to keep them safe.
If you are also looking for some instructions, I can help you out.
Plan Before a Disaster
- Keep pet carrier ready and make your pet learn that the carrier is safe.
- Plan an emergency kit for pet. It should have water, food, medication and some other things you think fit for pet.
- You should have pet identification tags ready with you. It will be easier to rejoin in case you are separated from your pet.
Plan During a Disaster
- Earthquake and other disaster may scare your pet. So take it inside. Better if you put it in the carrier. It will be safer there.
- If disaster is severe and you have to evacuate your area, never forget to take your pet with you. If you have already arranged any place for pet, it’s fine but if you don’t have any place, you can put it in car.
- If you put your pet in car, make sure that emergency kit is also there. Leave the window of the car slightly open so as to supply ventilation.
So, keeping these little things in mind, you can save your pet during disaster. However if the worse happens; if you get separated from your pet, have faith and patience. You have identification tags with you. These tags will increase the chances of reunion with pet.
Some Myths Related To Mouse

Few days back I saw a small white mouse in one of my friend’s hand. It was his pet. It was a unique fun for me watching the activities of the small rodent. I wondered why people don’t think about mouse when comes to choose pet for home.
I shared this feeling with friend, surfed some websites also. Then I got to know that this small animal is suffered from some unfair prejudices.
If you are also planning for some pet at home and have ruled out mice because of the same reason, I request you to have a look at the following factors.
All mice are smelly: Though there is some truth to it, it’s not absolutely true. Male mice generally produce odor in their urine, it’s not that much terrible also. And female mice hardly smell. With male mice also, if you clean your cage properly, it won’t be any problem for you.
Mice are disease-home: It’s also a common thinking that mice are nasty because they bring so many diseases. Since the time of bubonic plague, this stigma is associated with this animal. It true that that time mice were the carriers of that bacterium. But some humans also carried the bacterium. In fact, bacteria can be carried by any animal. To associate it solely with this animal is absolutely wrong.
Mice don’t have understanding: People think that mice are stupid. They can’t recognize their masters like dogs or other pets. It is not true. Mice are very intelligent creatures and if groomed and cared well, they can also make a good bonding with their breeders. They can cheer you with funny tricks.
Mice are not good pets. In fact they are! This small animal is easy to keep and take care. They are so small and quiet to disturb anybody. Above all, it not at all expensive to breed them. What more can you expect of a pet!
So, think once again before selecting pet for your home.

Everybody likes beautiful birds! Children are always more fascinated by beautiful, vivid colors of birds. Usually, kids are considered to be impatient. But if you have a charming bird at home, I bet; your younger one will get enough patience to watch the bird for hours!
So, if you are also groping for a lovely and charming bird; if you are confused in selection the right one, I am sharing with you top 3 species which your youngster will really like.
LoveBird : Lovebirds are one of the smallest species of parrot. They are bundle of cheer, fun and joy. Kids will really enjoy their company because lovebird is fond of playing for hours. And you know…they also like to pull buttons off shirts !
Cockatiels: If you have elder children, cockatiels are better choice for you. This bird can whistle, does funny activities, and can talk also. So, if your child has time to interact with bird, it will be a delight having Cockatiel at home.
However, this bird need little more efforts to look-after than lovebird .It relishes if gets time out of cage. So, select a cockatiel only if you really have interest in understanding birds.
Canaries: If you are looking for a bird with small feathers for your kid, select a canary. There different colors and song are other strong attractions.
However, you need to be extra cautious with canaries. They are highly fragile and get frightened quite easily. So, if you child is too young, be cautious that the bird is not harmed while playing with kid or so.
Moreover, Canary require large cage. To maintain health, they need to fly also.
So, select any of these beautiful birds and let your kid dance in delight!
