Diet for Amphibians
date February 5, 2025
Long-term maintenance of most amphibians requires live food. Most adult terrestrial and aquatic amphibians feed on invertebrates (animals that do not have backbones), including earthworms, bloodworms, black worms, white worms, tubifex worms, springtails, fruit flies, fly larvae, mealworms, and crickets. However, some amphibians feed on vertebrates (animals with backbones) and require live minnows, guppies, goldfish, or newborn mice or rats. Most invertebrates raised as food

Housing for Amphibians
date February 5, 2025
Amphibians that are kept as pets require proper environmental conditions to remain healthy. The most important conditions are water and air temperature. Amphibians do not regulate their body temperature as mammals do, making them very sensitive to climate and temperature. As cold-blooded animals, amphibians regulate their body temperature by shuttling back and forth between different temperatures in their environment. The range of temperatures necessary to maintain h

Special Considerations for Amphibians
date February 5, 2025
Amphibians can make excellent pets; however, they should not be handled any more than is absolutely necessary due to their delicate skin. In addition, some amphibians release irritating toxins from their skin or special glands. Wearing disposable gloves that have been rinsed free of powder protects both you and your pet and is recommended when handling amphibians or cleaning their enclosure.

Description and Physical Characteristics of Amphibians
date February 5, 2025
Amphibians come in a wide range of sizes and colorings. The largest amphibians, the Chinese and Japanese giant salamanders, can grow to 6 feet long (1.8 meters) and weigh up to 140 pounds (63 kilograms). The smallest include some species of poison dart frogs measuring less than 0.5 inches long (1.3 centimeters) and weighing only a few grams (less than an ounce). One thing that most amphibians do have in common is a moist skin, often coated with a slimy mucus. Adult amphibia

Tularemia in Cats
date February 4, 2025
Tularemia is a bacterial disease that affects people and many species of wild and domestic animals. It is caused by toxins in the blood produced by the bacterium Francisella tularensis. The bacteria can survive for weeks or months in a moist environment. There are 3 types of organisms that differ based on the severity of the disease they produce. Type A is most likely to cause severe disease and is found most commonly in North America. Disease res

Trichinellosis (Trichinosis) in Cats
date February 4, 2025
Trichinellosis is a parasitic disease that can be transmitted to people. It is caused by a type of worm known as a nematode. The name of the disease comes from the scientific name for the worm, Trichinella spiralis. Humans become infected when they eat undercooked infected meat, usually pork or bear, although other meats can also be responsible. Natural infections occur in wild meat-eating animals; most mammals are susceptible.

Toxoplasmosis in Cats
date February 4, 2025
Toxoplasmosis is caused by Toxoplasma gondii, a protozoan parasite that infects humans and other warm-blooded animals. It has been found worldwide. Wild and domestic felines (members of the cat family) are the only definitive hosts of the parasite. Infected cats can transmit the disease to humans and other animals. There are 3 infectious stages of Toxoplasma gondii: tachyzoites (rapidly multipl

Tetanus in Cats
date February 4, 2025
Tetanus toxemia is caused by a specific toxin, or poison, that blocks the transmission of inhibitory nerve signals, resulting in severe contractions of muscles and exaggerated muscle responses to stimuli. The toxin is produced by Clostridium tetani bacteria in dead tissue. Almost all mammals are susceptible to this disease, although cats seem much more resistant than other domestic animals. Clostridium tetani
