What type of pets are...

... cuddly?
... won't try to bite you without you harassing them?
... hypoallergenic?
... small?
... good with children?
... easy to take care of?

If there are any breeds of a type of pet in particular that fits the guidelines, that'd be great, thanks.

THE CROCODILES ARE CRYING

Endless visions fill my head – this man – as large as life
And instantly my heart mourns for his angels and his wife
Because the way I see Steve Irwin – just put everything aside
It comes back to his family – it comes back to his pride

His animals inclusive – Crikey – light the place with love!
Shine his star with everything he fought to rise above
The crazy-man of Khaki from the day he left the pouch
Living out his dream and in that classic 'Stevo' crouch

Exploding forth with character and redefining cheek
It's one thing to be honoured as a champion unique
It's one thing to have microphones and spotlight cameras shoved
It's another to be taken in and genuinely loved

But that was where he had it right – I guess he always knew
From his fathers' modest reptile park and then Australia Zoo
We cringed at times and shook our heads – but true to natures call
There was something very Irwin in the make up of us all

Yes the more I care to think of it – the more he had it right
If you're going to make a difference – make it big and make it bright!
Yes - he was a lunatic! Yes - he went head first!
But he made the world feel happy with his energetic burst

A world so large and loyal that it's hard to comprehend
I doubt we truly count the warmth until life meets an end
To count it now I say a prayer with words of inspiration
May the spotlight shine forever on his dream for conservation

…My daughter broke the news to me – my six year old in tears
It was like she'd just turned old enough to show her honest fears
I tried to make some sense of it but whilst her Dad was trying
His little girl explained it best…she said "The crocodiles are crying"

Their best mate's up in heaven now – the crocs up there are smiling!
And as sure as flowers, poems and cards and memories are piling
As sure as we'll continue with the trademarks of his spiel
Of all the tributes worthy – he was rough…but he was real

As sure as 'Crikey!' fills the sky
I think we'll miss ya Steve…goodbye

I think I see long worms in her stool that I have been mistaking for rubberbands and etc. I'm actually getting worried and will take her to the vet soon. Right now I just need some facts to know if she has it,and how much I should bring to the vet to cure it. Is it serious? She sure eats and drinks fine. She's still very hyper active. I was told she has been dewormed from the breeder but then she got parvo, so the credibility for the breeder is in jepordy. Please let me know everything you know.

Have 11 eggs, 4 collapsed today, took them out. They have been incubating since July 1st when the mama layed the eggs. Dug up, put in plastic container with vermiculite and peat moss. Keeping temp @ 85-87 degrees with heat lamp in tank, but lost power last week and temp went down to 72 degrees for 6 hours. Any input. Will eggs be ok. Have not touched the eggs since putting them in the container. Mist with water, followed all instructions I could find. Now just waiting to see if they will hatch. Last litter was 9 eggs with 4 hatching (which was a good ratio) Any tips or advise would be greatly appreciated. Mama was killed month ago by neighbors dog (got out of yard and bit shell) so no other turtles in pond will be mature for another 2 years to lay eggs. Really want to hatch the last offspring of mama turtle. Please advise and help greatly needed and wanted. FYI - Dog owners were greatly apologetic, but life goes on.....

For the past three days she won't eat her food (Kibbles&Bits). Everytime I take her out she goes for the grass not always the same spot. She, so far, is still having BM's. Is this a phase or should I bring it to the attention of her vet? She appears to be thinner. I regularly treat her for worms as advised on package. And all her shots are up to date. Except for the (Bortdetello) a shot for dogs that are boarded, and she has never been nor will be. Just had a visit to the vet two months ago.

AND WHAT HAPPENS TO THE ANIMALS WHEN THE SHOP CLOSES UP AT NIGHT, ON THE WEEKEND AND OVER HOLIDAYS? WHAT DO PET SHOP OWNERS DO ABOUT SICK ANIMALS, GIVEN THAT THE TIME AND COST OF VETERINARY CONSULTATIONS, TRANSPORT AND TREATMENT WOULD OFTEN OUTWEIGHT THE SELLING PRICE?

three and a half years ago, my husband brought home two lhasa puppies bought from a breeder. They were sisters and we took care of them and loved them. One of the sisters was epileptic and recently died. The remaining sister is heartbroken and depressed. We want to find a new friend for her, preferably a Lhasa female about 3 or 4 years old

I know they look similar to Dwarf Hamsters and they don't bite.
Any other info would be helpful.

Or, does anyone know any websites with info on hamsters ?
so, I can search for this info ?
