I bought the 2.5minibow, and it came with like an under gravel filter. It is a plastic like sheet or w/e, and it goes under the gravel, and then you put gravel on top. Then there a tube that sticks out in the corner, with like a white rock T think they call it.. ANd then in the plastic pipe, there is a small oxygen hose. Would someone explain to me how this system works, and if it's good!? I have no idea how the filter part works.... Its a mystery! :)

I have a Hamster, Mr. Coochie Bear. =]
He's a year and some odd months old. Old for a hamster yet still healthy.
I understand hamsters can get tumors when they're old and are likely to get them a great percent of the time.
Is it possible for one to recieve a tumor on its nose?

Or could my hamster just have a wart?

I love to watch my fish, and so fascinating to see them with each other. I have Tropical and Gold fish, but special types and sizes. The water falls also is relaxing. What kind of fish do you like the best and do them relax you too?

I bought two 3-4 months old seberian huskies. One female and one male. I have had them for 3 days so far.

My male dog seems to always be scratching himself. I have read that most seberian huskies do not get fleas or ticks since they keep their selves clean. So why would my huskie be scratching him self alot? Is this normal or might he have ticks/fleas. If so how am I suppose to check?

Another question.. Both my dogs seem to like the water so I thought it would be easy to give them a shower. When it came time to shower them, they started getting crazy and nervous. Specialy the male he started jumping around, making wierd noises, and barking. What is the best approach I can do to give them a shower next time?

Nothing has worked-spraying with liquids that make the wood taste bad, punishment for the act, etc.

Never thought of myself as a cat lover, although I certainly never disliked them. However about a year ago a kitten showed up at my back window and simply would not leave until I took him in. I'm surprised how attached I have become to him - as much as I have been to any dog.

Also would be interested to hear about other great mousers out there. My cat has 24 hour access to the outside (live in the country) and he will bring in up to 5 or 6 mice, birds, and rabbits A DAY sometimes! I mean I know cats are superior hunters, but this guy could feed a housefull of cats. Would be curious to hear about other little killers out there.

One of the Seagulls that come to a store parking lat has a fish and a lure on his beak. He is not able to open the beak, so he can't eat. A lady, who noticed the seagull yesterday, my boyfriend and I were trying to cutch it with a fitting sheet today, but didn't get any success. The seagull will be there again tomorrow. Any tips how we could cutch it before it starves to death?

I have an award winning cockerspaniel, he is perfect in every way, he has been flown all over north america for breeeding. He's groomed every week. He is getting on 5yrs old and just lost some hair on his foot and started to limp a bit. I dont see any sores. Vet said it may be ring worm, anyone else ever seen this?
He is a very special dog, in fact I think he saved more lives than Lassie.

My 1 1/2 year old male rat has had this red crusties on his eyes and araound his nose, only now, when he snezed, it comes out and it looks like blood, only darker, some times it spills on his whiskers, and im quite worried, he has had an antibiotic shot for his sneezing, but no pills, the vet examined him and everything, only due to a short on cash, i couldnt afford the pills, and the vet wont let me buy them from him, im in debt to him, im working with him on this, only now, he snezes more and these little red drips come out, but it doesnt ooze out like snot. he is fairly new, only about 2 or 4 weeks at my house, he used to live somewhare else with someone else, she gave him to me when i got him. the red crusties have gone from his eyes, so thats why im worried. i cant really afford another vet visit right now, due to my $150 vet debt, the freak didnt tell me what he was going to do, not give me an estimate, he defied my request of actions for the other rat, its getting worse.

I live in a townhouse complax in Las Vegas, NV my folks don't have a back yard but we do have a balcony. My Mom planned to get a minature tree to put on the balcony, I was told by someone that mourning doves might build a nest in it. Hardly anyone goes out on the balcony except our 1 year old Pug who is out there 2 or 3 times a day.

But do you think that putting a minature tree on the balcony will attract mourning doves into using it as a nest site?

I need a good name. His picture is at the link below, but it really doesn't do this sweetheart justice. Hes loving, playful, and EXTREMELY sweet. He asks for love, but isn't needy. He's a male, and will probably get to be a big boy.

So far we have Oreo (black on the outside, white down the middle?) and someone wanted to call him "moocow", but I don't really love either of those.

Thanks for the input!
