My rabbit likes to chew on his plastic litter box and throw it around. Anything I can do to stop this?

Posted on 08. Aug, 2010 by Toy Expert.

I have a plastic triangular litter box for my trained rabbit, but he is always chewing on it and throwing it around. I have provided him with wooden toys to chew on and, even though he does chew them, it doesn’t stop him from eating through his litter box. I have also tried feeding him more, but it doesn’t work either.

How does one flight train a parrot who has never flown more than a few feet before?

Posted on 30. Jul, 2010 by Toy Expert.

My Amazon parrot loves to eat (that is an understatement, as us amazon people can attest) and is getting a bit pudgy. Her playtime consists of sitting around chewing on wooden toys and paper. She doesn’t seem to relish attacking bells and romping around like the other birds. I would like for her to get some good exercise as well as build muscle mass, for both her physical and mental well-being, but I am not quite sure how to start.

She is almost in perfect feather from her last trimming and is now able to fly a few feet, but will only do so when she is frightened. Our home is quite roomy, so I am hoping to be able to train her to fly short distances indoors. The birds have their own room that has been set up with their safety in mind, so no need for worry about flying hazards.

Does anyone have any knowledge or experience on flight training that they could share?
I have tried the wing-flapping exercise. She simply doesn’t enjoy it. She will try to get away and off of my hand if I start doing that to her. I don’t want exercising to be something that she dreads, I want it to be fun and enjoyabe for her, and at the same time beneficial.
