General
Just drained my 75 gal turtle tank by myself, had to lift it up to one side completely (this is a 140lbs btw) but now I know I can do it myself and I wont have to depend on my roommate to help me! Its a TON of work by myself but I needed to figure out if I could even do it on my own..as long as I don't have to help carry that sucker up or down the stairs once more I'll be good!
I also have to clean the ferret cage..
Pets are a lot of work let me tell you! You want turtles? Get one that doesn't live in the water!! SO MUCH WORK!! So expensive too..I can't get the filter hooked up because it needs to be below the turtle tank so that requires a wood or rod-iron stand which costs over 100 dollars generally close to 200 dollars. Rod iron is a LOT cheaper to buy but still rather expensive. It can't be just any normal stand a 75 gal tank FULL OF WATER weighs up to 800+ lbs.
People should really consider what they're getting themselves into..when owning a turtle..let alone two..my gosh!!
And lets not get started on my ferret, he requires a bath once a month ferret shampoo or dawn blue dish soap..once a month why? Because they have extremely sensitive skin lets not forget all the other things that comes with a ferret..I need a larger cage which costs over 100 generally over 200 dollars for the one's I really want. And they get bored super quick so you gotta get them many different types of toys and shit..not only that but they are illegal in some states and in some cases certain cities in certain states.
For real, owning a pet is a lot of fun..but holy cow it could run your life..since I am home and I "work" from home (art and tarot) its easier for me to have these pets..because ferrets require to be out for a good majority of the day mainly at night since they are more-so nocturnal..its so much work owning pets..and it can be rewarding..but I wish more people realized how much work it actually is to put into pets like I have..they get all excited and they admire that I have some exotics but let me tell you..I always say..well its nice sure but DON'T GET ONE!! xD
