can u getm them removied or filed down? cause they dont use their teeth to eat really, so can u get them removed?
Answers:
No, you can't They regrow teeth throughout their lives. And yes, they use them for tearing up their food.

Why would you want to do this to begin with? If there wasn't a reason for them to have teeth they wouldn't be there in the first place. They do use them to eat.
Why the heck would you put them trough that. The vet would probobly refuse to do so anyways. AND YES THERE TEETH ARE FOR EATING. Quit coming up with ideas to torture your pet.
Do you need your hair...NO YOU DONT. But we dont just yank it out cus we dont need it do we?
They DO need their teeth.
If you are afraid of being bitten by your pet, get goldfish instead!
Yes they do use them to chew..also bit becareful they can bite also. I was feeding mine and he accidently clamped down on my finger and cut me bad.
No. lol. That would probably hurt them. If you're iguana is biting it might feel scared and sometimes if they're a male and a female is on their period they get very Dominant and may bite. If it's a smaller iguana than it's normal for them to whip and maybe try to bite because they're scared, they need constant attention to become tame.
Only if we can remove or file down your teeth!!?
I didn't know they had teeth. I've never been bitten by mine. Iguana's are very delicate creatures. The slightest of change and it could make a major impact on them. I would try to do as much as possible to make them live naturally.

Good Luck.
u sure can. they eat vegetables .. drop it in their cage.. if they don't eat it for a while then take it out.. my baby ddnt like it :(
As far as I know, turtles love lettuce. I don't think introducing it will be a problem.. but they may need some more nutrients than just what's available in the lettuce. Ask your local pet store expert!
Good luck!
No no and NO!!
Lettuce has absolutely no nutritional value whatsoever. You will end up starving your RES to death by feeding it lettuce. Even if you only give it occasionally. Lettuce is absolutely one of the worse things you can give any reptile!
If all you're going to do is feed it lettuce, why not just stick the turtle in the freezer and save it from the suffering?
just chop it into little peaces and put it in the tank
Can you feed bearded dragons earthworms?
Answers:
Your kind of getting mixed answers here so to sum it up
Earthworms or nightcrawlers are best for very young or older(because of high fat and protein)
Only a couple a week is usualy good
Only get them from a pet store, my store sells them in container that kept in the fridge. 50 earthworms or 15 nightcrawlers.
It's not suggested. If you must, use only ones raised for animal consumption, ie, those in a petstore, not your backyard. Only very young beardies should be getting large amounts of protein, as they get older, their diet should consist primarily of fresh veggies.
Yes! just dont over do it because they are high in fat and make sure nowone in yer area fertileizes their lawn
It's best not to because the ones sold at stores for fish bait are not nutritious and the ones in your yard can be poisoned from pesticides or lawn fertilizers. It is best to stick with crickets as their live food.
Q. Can You Feed Bearded Dragons earthworms?
A. Yes certainly ! They are an excellent food for Beardies, particularly growing juveniles as worms have a high protein content, do not feed exclusively as a varied and balanced diet is essential to good health. Medium Dendrobaena are the best.

Can you feed a leopard gecko wild crickets?
It costs entirely to much to keep buying crickets i mean I need to pick up crickets almost every 2days and 2 dozen that costs actually alot of money after a while so can you feed a leopard gecko wild crickets.
Answers:
online is much cheaper 250 crickets is like 5 bucks
not after midnight
no, because u dont know if they have been exposed to pesticides or any other dangerous substance, therefore, I would not suggest it.
Leopard geckos can be fed wild insects, crickets and also 'sweepings' (insects caught by sweeping a net through long grass). A varied diet is good for them, and this would be cheaper for you.
But, if you are going to do this you need to be sure you are catching them in places that haven't been sprayed with insecticides - as it can be harmful to your gecko.
Hope this helps.
Order crickets online. You can get a lot of them. Get smaller ones and they will live a long time. You can get 250 or more. Keep them in a large rubbermaid container (no lid--they need lots of air and can't climb out). Use papertowels on the bottom, a few cardboard rolls or egg crates to hide in, a dish of gutload (not the gel kind) and a shallow water dish. I order from reptilefood.com or premiumcrickets.com.

Can you feed a Corn Snake crickets?
Answers:
*No! It has to be mice, they can not live on crickets.
Have a look at this site.
http://members.aol.com/kathandcam/hawkhe...
NO I WAS READING ONLINE DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!HE SAID THAT WAS REALLY STUPID TO ASK CORN SNAKES
CAN NOT HAVE CRICKETS!!!!
I highly doubt that...
Go to a pet store and ask for baby frozen mice or live baby mice...
that is what they eat
I keep corn snakes and a general rule of thumb is to not feed food items greater in size than 1.5 times the diameter of the thickest part of the snake. Feed one suitable sized item (mouse, rat etc.)once a week and do not handle the following day. Allow the snake to digest the food. If there is not sufficient heat in the tank, the snake will not be able to digest the food item properly and may regurgitate it. It will also do this if the food is too big. I tend to feed frozen food items bought from the shop (captive bred so they have no parasites or disease). Thaw out prior to feeding, also no risk of food item injuring snake (mouse bites etc.)
Go to snake web sites and try and find out what snake it is and find a relevant care sheet. Try http://www.petsnakes.co.uk/gallery/galle...
This site has helped me out no end over the years, the guy is also very helpful when asked a question.

Can you buy frozen bunnies at the pet store?
i need a bunny to feed to my snake. i cant feed him live ones because hes a whimp he always gets bit every time a feed him live
Answers:
go to rodentpro.com
U can buy frozen Guinea pigs at an Ecuadorian food mart.
Feed your snake mice....not bunnies, like normal people. And why would they have frozen bunnies?
A lot of pet stores sell frozen rodents. I don't know where you are from so I can't be of too much help. I'd try calling around to pet stores in your area and asking. If by chance you can't find frozen, you could always try an INHUMANE way of knocking them out or killing them. Mice and rats only require a thump on the head and they're gone but it would take much more to kill a bunny.
The first person suggested frozen guinea pigs; those could work.
And I don't think chicky above me has ever come in contact with a snake larger than a ball python. Can't imagine how many mice it'd take to fill a big snake. Sorry...ranting
u dun have to buy frozen bunnies my dear friend! juz buy a live ones and then store in your freezer.. dat should do the trick
Some pet stores dont carry frozen bunnies, you may need to check at a snake or reptile store.
But you can check online i get my mice from cajunmice.com
Most of the big stores dont carry them but a smaller reptile specialty shop in your area probably would, or at least would be able to tell you where to go. Try locating one of them and giving them a call.
I just wanted to add to the posters here, ask the workers how the rabbits died, be sure they were killed and did not die from disease, because there could be something in the rabbits that you could contract or even your snake could get. When an animal dies of disease they don't always check to see what it was so you never know what it had.
sorry i don't know a place. I just wanted to let the ejects up there know that after a snake reaches a certain length you HAVE TO feed it frozen rabbits. NOT MICE. because of their size, a mouse wouldn't fill them up.
buy them online ( google search ---) there are alot cheaper .and they come with dry ice if you want to have some fun ( but be careful with the dry ice..)
