I feel so sad. I just figured out today that he probably has dropsy and I have given him an epsom salt bath and he seems to . . . not gonna make it. It makes me not want to get any more Betta's because I feel like I should've been able to save him. But I also feel bad just knowing about all those Betta's up there at Wal-Mart in those little bitty containers.

She came to me stray, I took her in, she had one litter and had no problem. Very good with her litter. She had a second litter. Moved the kittens outside, she hardly ever goes to them if at all. She does not leave my side and follows me everywhere. Why would she abandone them and attach herself so closely to me.

I am getting one and I love them. Also any name suggestions (it is named Shyboy but I hate that name). And any health tips. Also, I WILL look on SOME dog websites about shelties.

We used play sand as advised. Also put a few other things in there for his amusement. I found what had been a cage for a hampster at a garage sale. Looks more like a aquarium. But it isn't. Will it just take more time?

He did injure himself and it resulted in him not being able to walk for a while. He's walking now. But continues to have dreams in which he might fall or hit his head before he wakes up.

My friends and i were at a park and it has a lake. We had found the eggs under a tree and when we got them they were still warm. I think there still alive we have the eggs in a box with a heating pad under it and towles all over it. so they are warm.. but i wanna know how old they are.. so i know when to expect them to hatch.

There are no tattoes on her ears. The rescue group said they won't take her if she's a greyhound/coonhound mix, but how do I tell the difference?

I just got my male betta fish today. He is in a 1/2 gallon tank right now. Is it true he wouln't live as long in this tank? I know I need to get a thermometer. Do I REALLY need to get a heater? And the same thing with a filtration system. I have Betta Bowl Conditioner. Is that the same thing? What else do I need to get???

i am getting 5 snakes, for sure, but my dad is afraid of some things that i am
not afraid of.
1)handling-
My dad is afraid i am afraid to handle a garter, corn, or ball python, but i am not, i love snakes, the only thing about them that scares me, is their price.
2)feeding-
my dad is afraid i wont be able to feed my snake, i love animals, but i also love nature, wich means that i understand, that sometimes, an animal must sacrifice itself to help another.
3)escape-
I know that snakes are escape artists, but i am not afraid of them escaping, we have rubber sealed doors, windows, and seems(links between walls/floors/ and corners) in my pet room, and ALL of my animal containers tops are chained and hooked down onto the floor, so all i have to do is do that for my snakes, and even if they do get out of their container, they cant get out of the room, or into any of the other pets containers.

so how do i convince my dad of this, he has no say in this, i worked hard for my money!!!

In the vancouver area I saw a snake that was completely black with 2 blue (teal) lines running down it's sides! It lives close to a pond and creek if that helps.

I saw a question earlier about a Beta fish. I may be wrong, although I doubt it, that the advice the asker was given was so offbase. You only have to change the water in a tank no more than once a week. And then the most you should siphon out is 25%! You should NEVER, I repeat NEVER take out 50% 3 times per week. That answer is so wrong I couldn't believe the answerer believed it was the correct advice. Also, Beta fish are normally very lazy fish. If you don't believe me try placing another Beta next to your Beta's tank, but not in the SAME tank. They aren't called Siamese Fighting Fish for nothing. It's called Flarring!
That's how they are judged at fish shows.

Anyone with any good tips on having a male Betta for the first time? And why the heck does he look like he's in attack mode all of the time. He's not moving. Just in attack mode. Is he dying?
