I have a lot of budgies at home. If you are raising them for the first time, you may be prescribed by people around that it is okay to restrict them to a complete seed diet. But, that’s a misconception. Just like humans, budgies need a balanced diet and seeds are a part of their…
Bunnies love to hop, binky, and enjoy their time in the garden. But, one of the fundamental things that I pay extreme attention to is the nature of the plants they munch on.
