Because they are pet stores, you will also find that most of them only feature bird supplies as a sideline.

Please tell me all supplies I would need if I did get a bunny. Tell me the pros and cons of having a bunny. And if bunnies need shots and any other health information.
Basicly, tell me all I need to know about being a bunny pet owner.

You need to inquire at the Canadian Embassy so you will get your sources straight.
No sales because shipping is unclear. Customers have to fill out a billing form before finding out how much shipping they have to pay. If shipping is there I didn't see it and that is still a problem.
Your best bet is to start with a breeder who is a member of their National breed club, and/or a local breed club.
Start here:
http://www.frenchbulldogclub.org/ht/d/sp/i/310/pid/310
Note the following statement from the French Bulldog Club of America:
"As of February 2008, the club requires that, in order to be listed, a breeder must have been a club member for a minimum of two years, and have bred at least one French Bulldog Conformation Champion."
This indicates that the breeder is involved in the breed on a higher level than just breeding.
When talking to a breeder, ask what sort of genetic health testing they do. They should be able to provide all puppy buyers with copies of the parents' health clearances.
The breeder should be just as interested in you, and have lots of questions for you, in order to screen you as a potential owner.
I am really sorry to hear about your gerbil! First I would give your cage/tank a good cleaning, put in new bedding! Give your lone gerbil a lot of attention and TLC! He should be fine alone, just give him some more one on one time with you, you could always buy a him a new friend and do a split cage intro! How old was he? Sounds like old age if he just died!
Note, I don't buy the wet tail thing, gerbils don't get wet tail, but people call any type of soft stool wet tail, wet tail is a hamster disease! But if a gerbil does get diarrhea it can kill really fast, hope that wasn't the case!
Sorry for your loss!
Hiya, I don't know a thing about Chinchillas so I had a look online and I found a few things that might help.
Chinchillas eat and digest desert grasses and cannot efficiently process fatty foods, high protein foods, or too many green plants. A high quality, hay-based pellet and a constant supply of loose hay will sufficiently meet all of their dietary needs. Chinchillas have very sensitive GI tracts that can be easily disrupted so it is important to maintain them on a healthy diet. Avoid chinchilla feed that includes a mixture; chinchillas may avoid the healthy high fiber pellets in favor of items like raisins and seeds. Fresh vegetables and fruit (with high moisture content) should be avoided as these can cause bloat in a chinchilla, which can be fatal. Sweets and dried fruit treats, such as raisins should be limited to one or two per day. Chinchillas also eat and drink in very small amounts, therefore, overfeeding is easy. This can lead to diarrhea, or in the long term, diabetes. Nuts should be avoided due to their high fat content. High protein foods and hay (such as alfalfa) can cause liver problems and should be limited.
Chinchillas require extensive exercise and should have a large exercise wheel (over 15 in (380 mm) in diameter) with solid surfaces. Chinchilla legs and toes can easily get caught in a mesh running surface and tails can get caught in spokes. Chinchilla teeth need to be worn down as their teeth grow continually and can prevent the chinchilla from eating if they become overgrown. Wooden sticks, pumice stone and chew toys are good options, but conifer and citrus woods (like cedar or orange) should be avoided because of the high content of resins, oils and phenols that are toxic for chinchillas. Birch, willow, apple tree, manzanita or kiln-dried pine are all safe woods for chinchillas to chew.
The chinchilla lacks the ability to sweat; therefore, if temperatures get above 25°C (80°F), the chinchilla could get overheated and may suffer from heat stroke. Chinchillas dissipate heat by routing blood to their large ears, so red ears signal overheating
They instinctively clean their fur by taking dust baths, in which they roll around in special chinchilla dust made of fine pumice. In the wild their dust is formed from fine ground volcanic rocks. The dust gets into their fur and absorbs oil and dirt. These baths are needed a few times a week. Chinchillas do not bathe in water because the dense fur prevents air-drying, retaining moisture close to the skin, which can cause fungus growth or fur rot. A wet chinchilla must be dried immediately with towels and a no-heat hair dryer. The fur is so thick that it resists parasites such as fleas. The fur also reduces loose dander, making chinchillas hypo-allergenic.
Try not to worry too much, I know you only want the best for her, I'm sure the water bottle is fine, just make sure you fill it with fresh water everyday and after filling it squeeze it to make sure the bubbles come up (so you know its working). I think she will learn to use the dustbath herself as its something they would do naturally but take a look at this website for more information about dustbaths http://www.chinchillaplanet.com/chinchilla-dust-bath/ I also woudn't buy it the saucer instead of a wheel as I've seen and heard alot of stories where the animal comes flying off! Just make sure if you buy a wheel you don't buy a metal one where there tails can get caught up. Chinchillas are nocturnal so they do sleep through the day but as you say if she is new she may just be settling in. As for her cage I'm sure its fine and I doubt they would make it with something that is toxic, as it says above there are lots of things you can buy her so she can wear her teeth down. I hope this helped and check out the links below there's alot of info on the websites. Good luck it sounds like she's in good hands
EDIT: It might be a good idea to join some chinchilla websites and post in the forums because they are more likely to have all the infomation you need.
you will need:
Hutch
straw/hay
water bottle
Food bowl
Rabbit food
Toys
Brushes and combs
Nail clippers
disinfectant spray
dust pan and brush
treats (optional)
a run unless your garden is secure
rabbit shampoo
carry case
they are great pets very loving and get attached to their owner can be potty trained and will respond to their name.
They need some shots one of them is myxmatosis.
The vet will tell you what they should have.
Enjoy your new pet
The price of the mouse depends on where you get it from, the pet store near me sales them for $1.18, but breeders usually sales them around $7.
I payed around $8 for a bag of food that has lasted me for over a month so far, hamster food is generally better for them than rat/mouse food do to protein levels.
You can get a 10 gal tank and lid at walmart for under $20
The price of the bedding depends on what kind you get, stay away from pine and cedar…you can also use shredded newspaper as long as you make sure there is no colored ink on it. I payed $10 for a big bag of Aspen that I'm not half way through yet.
Bottles usually cost $5+, wheels around $10, hut $5, you can use paper towels/tissues for bedding and toilette paper rolls and other cardboard for toys and chew things.
You should get 2 or more if you get girls, but it is arguable whether or not more than 1 boy is suitable to live together because they have a tendency to fight.
There is no set amount for health care, some mice never have to see a vet. It can get pricey if your mouse gets sick, though.
As to someone saying that mice smell, they don't if they are kept properly. I live in a small dorm room at college, and my mice don't stink up my small room at all. You should clean the cage once a week. Some people say male mice have a stronger odor, though, but I've only kept female so I couldn't tell you for sure.
That's not true. I bought a Ball Python snake from PETCO, and they were very helpful. My snake was excellent for years. Whenever I had a question, I would always call them and they would help me out alot. You just have to find the person with the right knowledge and experience in what they're doing. Good luck!
