Pets - 21 September 2006

ill pop my hand in the cage, and the one that fears me will either lick me in confusion, but almost always in fear, like when i pop the cage door and reach for him, hell squint, and go defence, and i get close to him, and hell hover araound the tip of my finger, snaping back every few times, like hes afraid like ill electrocute him or something. i never knew what he did this for, and it doesnt matter what i smell like, like i just get out of the shower and i put my finger in there, and he licks it, almost nonstop, untill he gets bored, and my finger is all wet, and it doesnt matter what i smell like or have touchedm as far as i know. what does it mean or what is he doing to my finger, and why? he is a russian dwarf hamster, and has a mentally retarded cage mate, i mean like low iq for even a hamster, like ill pick him up, and hell keep walking or reaching for the ground, he doesnt know hes being lifted by a living thing, so he sees no point in biting, ever, even when he was brand new.

My Currlydog hasn't been himself lately! He's sleeping a lot, isn't eating, i hardly see him drinking, his eye's look sad and distant and he look's like he's gained about 10 lb's and is real bloated. He's a small German Shepard/Terrier mix and about 1 1/2yrs(human) I just started a vocational class and now I'm gone 3 day's a week. My husband still comes home at lunch time and every morning Currly still follow's him to work across the street to see the guy's. Could he just be depressed? But what about his weight gain?

I just bought 3 guppies. They were alright for the first day. Then the next day, one by one they all got sucked into the water filter. They were just laying up against it one by one till they all died. How do I prevent this in the future? It is just a 10 gal tank with a 10 gal whisper filter.

She went to the vet Tuesday because she is sneezing, with a runny nose, her eyes are watering and she isn't eating normally. The vet had said she has an infenction in each nostril and prescribed Clavamox. He said we should see results by Friday or we are to contact them to bring her back in. We have seen minimal results but don't want to seem as if we are overreacting by bringing her back. Not to mention she flips out and its getting a little pricey. Anyone have any advice? Help! We want our fun kitty back!

The vet mentioned a dog food. I thought it was Eukanuba, but I cannot remember what it is and do not seem to be able to find it. I heard it was as good and less expensive.

I love all creatures so it's hard for me to say. However I'm a big cat and dog fan. I also think ducks are absolutely adorable. Especially when the mom's walk around with the chicks following behind!

My cat had kittens 5 days ago, and they all keep panting like they are trying to get air...I'm not sure what is going on, is this normal for kittens??

They are in a warm area in my closet so I don't think they are too cold...?

1.) How big of a tank do they need?

2.) What foods do they like and what do they hate?

3.) Can bettas be with any other fish, besides other bettas?

4.) Exactly, how big are the rice patties that they live in?

Answer all these correct, and YOU GET TEN POINTS!!!! This is also a quiz to see how much people know about bettas.

And this is a real question...

I used to have two bettas in clear plastic vases. They were males. But they never flared at each other. Same thing with my friend. But then why do they say "Never put two male bettas in a divider tank together," if they don't always exactly flare up? And at petstores, all the containers of bettas sit next to eachother. THEY NEVER FLARE UP! Do they really only flare if they are in the same tank? EXPLAIN ALL THESE CORRECTLY, GET 10 POINTS!!!!!!

They are about 2-3 months old now. When they were in the play pen together, they got along fine, and they rolled around and fought a couple of times, then I put them back to their cages. Maybe they aren't ready yet, or they may not be in heat yet??
