Has anyone ever owned a pet pig, and what was it like? I'm considering getting one myself and would appreciate some input!

This is a serious question so serious answers please...
I would really like to keep a lizard, skink, gecko, something like that. However I hate dealing with crickets and things as they get absolutely everywhere. Are there any lizards which either don't eat meat, or which can eat dried / dead food? And are also readily available in the pet trade? I already have snakes and they eat pre-killed food, so I wondered if lizards can do the same. I really like bearded dragons and occellated skinks, can they eat dead food? Also, if lizards won't take to dead food because there's no movement, can they be tricked to think its alive? ie. if you flicked the dead cricket to make it jump etc? Sounds silly lol but I'm curious.

Thanks!

Thanks everyone for your replies when I said his urine was dark I didnt mean BLOOD dark God I am not that stupid if it were that bad he would be at the vet. He is on dried dog food which he is not keen on so we tend to give him bits and pieces of food through the day which I know is not good.How do I get him back to eating dog food alone,maybe dried food is not the answer?

Whats the best way to stop a house cat from peeing where they shouldn't, mine keeps going in a corner despite all attempts to train her, we've put down plastic matting to stop it from staining (we have wooden lanament flooring through out) . Also how to remove the odour without using strong chemicals, i heared of using other house hold ingrediants but i've never found a good example.

I am out of state until Sunday. My 18 yr old is relaying my Beardie's problems to me. My Beardie who is 4 months young, has runny, pinkish color in his stools. Also, just not acting himself. His cage is aprox 90 degrees or more during the day.
The UV light has been flickering. I told my Son to get a newer fixture and speak to someone at Petsmart. Although the fixture is new.
I do feel my Son overfed him while I was gone. He used all the crickets I left. In 5 days at least 400 crickets. That is what was supposed to be in the box.
I baby him when I take care of him. He seems to know me. Does he miss me? Do Beardies actually know things like that?
Does anyone know what could be wrong with Charlie?
thank you in advance

I had my 2yr.old Golden for about 3 months. He was given as a present to me by my boyfriend. His previous owner didn't want to give him away until she found his papers but my bf persuaded her. She says she's still looking for them. Now I'm wondering can I just get him a new license, shots, and neutered? I thought about breeding him because he's a perfect, healthy Golden but the idea quickly went away when I watch Animal Planet and see all those unwanted puppies! It is litterally heart breaking and I'm not contributing to that! Also, I'm on a fixed income so I would like to know of a place that could do this in central New Jersey for not too much money. Also, I'm a little worried that the place will take my dog away if they see that I got him with no papers. Can they do that? All answers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I just switched to Innova Evo for my two kittens (6 and 5 months)...the oldest one is fine, however, the younger one has been having diarrhea. Will it go away? He doesn't seem to be eating different and he is just as active. Please help!

My 3 year-old Bichon has started yelping when I pick her up. It happens when I put my hand under her rump to support her. I noticed tonight her left leg has a better reflex then the right leg when I press on her paw. The right leg has little or no reflex. Her eyes seem to show pain. I wish she could talk. Anyone with the same experience?

Do you hate pigeons?
Those birds are really geting on my nerves.
They are only capable of shiting on your car and all over the town.
Stupid birds...

I have got a new fresh water tank of 180 litres. Required installation is in place, water is analysed. I got green light from the installer to go ahead. First day I introduced three loaches, 1 gouramy, 1 algae eater. No problems. Third day I added 1 gouramy, 1 loach and 10 platies. 12 hours later now one of the platies is dead, apparently for no reason. I am worried. Should I watch out for any symptom of a disease? What does an expert do in such a case? Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

We have recently brought our rabbit inside in the hope to make him toilet trained. However, we have noticed that he has a tendency to eat his own faeces (pellets). Is this normal? Or is there something wrong?
