Animal Care Information

So, you want to know more about a certain species, we've got you!

This page is meant to help you find reliable, easy to digest information about any animal you may be interested in taking into your care - or maybe you just want to learn more about animals cause you like them, thats cool too!

Please, be patient with us!

Putting all of this information together takes a long time, and we're working hard to make sure we're providing you with the most accurate, up to date information. Our ideas for this page are big, which means it's going to require patience while we collect everything and put it all together. If we don't have information about a specific animal you're looking for, contact us and we'll help you find whatever information you're looking for. We are building a very large network of information here, so we will hopefully have all of the pets covered - at some point!

If you are a professional in an animal field, a long time keeper, or an expert in any way, and want to help us with this project, please contact us! We'd love to work together to provide the best information possible - we can't do this without you!

How to digest this information

We want to provide enough information that you can get a full understanding of each species you're looking into without offering an overwhelming amount of information all at once. For this reason, you will have to click through each profile to find more details about specific animals. Some of the information we provide may look like you won't be able to understand it, but we promise you can! Below, we've provided a bit of a cheat sheet so you can understand what some shorthand means. If there's anything you see on our pages that you still don't understand, contact us and we'll add those descriptions to this page so others can have an easier time navigating our site!

IUCN

The IUCN Red List is an international organization that describes itself as follows: "Established in 1964, the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species has evolved to become the world’s most comprehensive information source on the global extinction risk status of animal, fungus and plant species." This organization lists species based on their risk level - Least Concern (LC), Near Threatened (NT), Vulnerable (VU), Endangered (EN), Critically Endangered (CR), Extinct in the Wild (EW), and Extinct (EX). We provide this information in our animal profiles because we believe if we are going to keep animals as pets, we should care about their conservation. All listings on our site have been updated in 2025. To learn more about the IUCN click here, and to search for species in their database, use their scientific names!
