I bought two new baby turtles for my son. All they do is lay around and sleep. The last turtles we had were far more active than these two. Is this normal?
Also, I noticed one turtle has formed a thick layer of skin over its eyes. His eyes appear permanently closed. However, if you look at him closely, you can see his pupils through the skin. Is his skin shedding?

My cat " Storm" fetches little toy and he initiates this game when he is in the mood. You know your cats will do what they want to do when they want to.

Actually all dogs are special...I love them all...but I have a Black Lab mix, and she is quite different than the Collie, Husky, Shepherd mixes I've had. She seems to have more "habits", and is extremely intelligent.

If you have a Lab or Lab mix dog, how do you think they are either a little special, or a bit different than some of the other breeds?

A self proclaimed "parrot whisperer" moved next door and he tells me all kind of MUSTS... must have a mirror, must have something to tear up, must have a scratchy perch for his scaly 'feet'. I am starting to go nuts. My parrot doesn't like these things. Either the expert is wrong or my parrot is an individual that doesn't care for these things.
What are your thoughts? input?

Ok, a lot of people are telling me that I am a backyard breeder - is this true if.. (here is my info.)

I currently have 2 male, Miniature-Poodles (3 year old Charlie, colour - black, and 4 year old Olive, colour - pure white ) who I breed with either my Chinese Crested (5 years old, black and white, Amber) and my Chihuahua (3 years old, caramel colour, Coca). I usually breed Amber and Coca two or three times a year with either Olive or Charlie.

I get 3 litters of Chi-Poo and 3 litters of Chinese Creste-Poos.

I do this for money, yes, but also because I love it. I do not have my own business. I can usually sell the Chi-Poos for $1000 - $1200 depending on who I breed Coca with.
I can sell my Ch. Creste-Poos for anywhere from $1300-$1600.

I sometimes even have waiting lists on either breed! I started breeding Coca at 2 years and Amber at 1 year 8 months old. I have donesome testing with the Chihuahua and Poodle but not much.
Am I still a backyard breeder or am I a breeder?

My in-laws have three, and my father in law was changing out the screen and putting glass in the door as my mother in law was cleaning the cage, and one got out of the cage and managed to fly out of the window before they could catch it. Any ideas?

i recently got 2 baby slider turtles... i have been feeding them turtle pellets and they have been enjoying eating them. However about 1 week ago one of the turtles stopped eating. I tried boiled lettuse and other foods but he is not eating at all and has become week and thin. He sits up on the log all day to bask and even all night. He keeps opening his mouth now and again as though he is trying very hard to breeth.
I keep the tank very clean.... what medicine can i use?

thanks,,,,

We took him back to the vets to the nurse and she says it is not the right colour for a pulpal bleed or an abcess as there is no other symptom at all...

She is looking up anything else it could be as this is the first time they have seen anything like it. They are a well established vets... now Borris does also have pinky coloured neck hair and they think it could be just colouration of the enamel.. like we have yellowy enamel or milky coloured teeth?
Anyway - I have to keep brushing and every day check for other symptoms. No question really - I just wanted to update you all - thank you.

She is a west highland terrier and known for this, and we have tried everything to discourage it, to no avail - in fact it is becoming a daily occurence.

I was told that garlic is bad for dogs, can cause liver damage and much worse it can kill the dog. Does anyone know about this and what is the max of garlic a dog can have. Any help would be really great.
Kind Regards. Rose.
