A hero isn’t always a person. In my case, google is my hero (ironic cause a person made it, but still). Whenever I need help, have a question, or just wanna see cute animal pictures, I turn to google. Over the past two years, I’ve looked up hundreds of questions about my axolotls. I turn to google because sometimes pet stores provide false information, or I just want a quick answer to a question.
I’ve had to do so much research on my axolotls. I’ve had to find information on why they weren’t eating, to why they were eating each other. Without a search bar at my fingers, I don’t know what I’d do. What did people use to do? Go to the library? I don’t even know where the closest one is. Once I spent hours on google trying to figure out why my axolotl wouldn’t eat. Turns out, sometimes they’re just picky eaters. I’ve also read dozens of arguments on tank size for all aquatic and terrestrial animals. I’ve decided it comes down to their size, personality, and how much you’re willing to spend.
I’ve also read dozens of blogs, as well as the blog comments about axolotls. Caudata.org is one blogging website I refer to often. When it comes to pets, it’s better to look at information from people that have the same pet, rather than an official article provided by some unknown source. I say this because these people have the first-hand experience since they actually own the animal. They also don’t benefit in any way if your pet becomes sick or dies. Unlike pet store companies who want you to continue to buy from them and spend your money.
A simple, google search can save so much time, effort, and a lot of trips to the pet store. Be smart and use your smartphone. Maybe you can use it to find the library.
