Step into our living library of knowledge — the Care Guides archive is where we gather every thread of wisdom for our Myco-Pets and beyond. Here you’ll find practical guides for nurturing living companions like millipedes, frogs, and scorpions, alongside transcendent works of preservation such as framed entomology pieces and carefully prepared wet specimens.
