My daughter won a Goldfish earlier this evening, unexpectedly. I have the whole setup for a fish, except that I have food for the Betta fish that I used to have, but no Goldfish food. Until I can get to the store tomorrow afternoon, is it OK if I give the Goldfish a pinch or 2 of Betta food?

I have a two year old garter snake that is refusing to eat. I had him on pinkies and he did well with them, would eat them with no problems. He will no longer eat them. I have tried feeder guppies and comets, he refuses them also. I am now trying nightcrawlers. He has not eaten in almost over two weeks. The temperature in his terrarium is between 75 and 80. The humidity is at about 50%. I know his refusal to eat is not due to his shedding of his skin, that occurred last month. I have tried looking on several websites about garter snakes, and also some forums. I have called several reptile and pet stores only to come up empty handed with very much needed input. My next step, of course, is to take him to the vet. Hopefully, it won't come to that. I appreciate any advice or suggestions that anyone may have.

She is my first cat and I've had her since she was 6 wks old. Last night I had to take my dachshund to my moms (we day it's her boyfriend), and since then she'll meow very loud. Could she just miss him. When do cats go in heat? She's up to date on all shots but I haven't had her spayed for some reason-which needs to be done soon anyway. She's strictly an inside cat, if she were in heat wouldn't she try to go outside?

my 5 month old hound/lab mix has this bald spot on her thigh that started out small, and is now getting bigger. There are some signs of redness, or a slight pinkish coloration on her skin and when it first started out, i felt a tiny little bump near that area... anybody have any ideas what it is?? i am pretty sure she's biting it, there is the only explanation, but why???

I have 3 cats, two males and 1 female. The female cat since the day we've got her has been very skittish, if you look at her she will immediately get up and run away. Its terrible i feel like she is going to have a heartattack. We've had her from going on 2yrs now and I just feel bad that she wont settle down. I'm just looking for any tips that could help quell her being some jumpy. She is a very affectionate cat and will come up to u be pet. Yet she will bolt for the littliest things. Also anytime I am petting her eventually my oldest male cat will come over and attack/chase her away. Is her being skittish just a result of the male/female pecking order or cats?

I dont know the name or type of breed that it is. The only description that I have is that it really looks like a bear cub. I really want to buy it but I need the name, if anyone knows what I'm talking about I would really appreciate it.

I have two of them. One is brown with dark brown dots. The other is light brown with dark brown stripes. Do these plecos get big and if so how long does it take for them to get to be over 10 inches. I have had them for about 9 months and they are both about 2 1/2 inches long. they are in a 20 Long tank.
