Although it isn’t illegal to own a Colorado River toad in the United States, the active chemical in toad venom, bufotenine, is a controlled substance. Just stick a pan full of store-bought chinchilla dust in its enclosure when they’re most active during the evening. Another way to ensure your chinchilla keeps cool is to house it in an open wire enclosure (never a walled enclosure like an aquarium) – the bigger the better to ensure good air flow. Open the hood and locate the oil dipstick. You open both your hard drive and the portable drive in separate Windows Explorer windows and then click and drag your files and directories onto the portable drive. If you have a PC, before you do anything else, copy all the stuff you want to keep onto a portable drive and then recopy it onto the hard disk drive of your new computer. In 2009, British security researchers purchased 300 used computers from several countries and then perused the hard drives. You can take your PC to one of Microsoft’s certified refurbishers, who’ll wipe it using state-of-the-art security methods.

And though some exotic pets can turn into literal horror movie material for the owners, for some exotic pets, their owners are the real gremlins. But what’s good for a horror movie is basically never good for real life. It’s also a good idea to keep a marble slab in the chinchilla’s enclosure so they have a place to go to chill out if it overheats. Chinchillas have delicate digestive systems that require a lot of fiber, and a treat of a single raisin can max out the amount of sugar that’s healthy for your chinchilla in a single day. You can also use a Microsoft utility called Windows Easy Transfer that lets you choose what you want to move over to your new machine, including documents, music, pictures, e-mail, system preferences, and user accounts. The HEPA filtration system helps improve the quality of the air as it prevents allergens from escaping into the air. For this reason, a strict diet of Timothy hay, high quality compacted chinchilla pellets and a steady supply of clean, fresh water should make up 99 percent of their diet.

Wild chinchillas take luxurious dust or ash baths to get clean, but their thick hair is ridiculously slow to dry, and they can get too cold while they’re waiting around, damp for days. The replacement pads mean that there’s an extra cost for maintaining this vacuum (each pad is a little more than a dollar, at time of publish), but we can accept that given its one-two punch of cleaning abilities (and thanks to the endorsement of one of our editors who owns and has used it in her home for daily maintenance). While a human only has one hair per hair follicle and even the softest rabbit has 50 hairs per follicle, a chinchilla can have up to 80 – their hair is so dense, parasites like fleas and mites can’t even get through it to suck their blood. Their hair can also become extremely matted, and a wet chinchilla is susceptible to bacterial and fungal infections on their skin.

Colorescience offers four flexible shades of tinted coverage that use encapsulated iron oxide pigments that release and adapt to your skin tone for inclusive coverage. Data thieves can use various programs to recover your sensitive files, even if you think you’ve deleted them. Next, soak some paper towels in white vinegar and use them to line your sink. You’ll need white vinegar, baking soda, and an old toothbrush before you run the washing machine in its hottest and longest setting to start the cleaning process. Just ask a British man who had to pay 100 pounds to a crook in Latvia to get back his old hard drive, after the crook mailed him a picture showing how he’d recovered his bank statements and a mortgage application. Some dishwashers get gunky with food debris, not to mention covered in rust stains. The care instructions for the creature are simple: Don’t get the mogwai wet, don’t expose it to bright light and don’t feed it after midnight. It doesn’t matter what time of day or night you feed your chinchilla, it’s important to remember that they evolved eating a lot of dry grass, and dry grass is what you should give them.
