Besides dogs, hamsters and cats, there are other pets. Namely, amphibians and reptiles. Two representatives of the less cuddly species, a boa constrictor and a Aesculapian have, this week in Austria with their "escape attempt" duly kicked up dust.
The Mega Zoo in Leon Ding, a pet shop, which specializes in exotic species, it is mighty proud. A few days ago came the third time young freshwater stingrays to the world. In total, there are four "baby-rays" in the pet shop.
Dangerous for the young Rays are mainly the first day. "Once they are futterfest, so eat food, everything is ok," says store manager Erika Ernst. In the case of the young Rays food is earthworms and Gammarus offered to pets for sale and home use.
The freshwater stingray is the only pet in the Mega Zoo, from which one can say in principle, it is dangerous. "Rays have a sting," says Norbert Marschall Inger. Born in Pregartner is Managing Director of Mega Zoo Austria. "We should, however draufsteigen on him or have an allergic reaction to being stung, or to die."
