I have had my two 3 month old boy rats for a week now and while one is friendly and will come out of the cage, the other will bite me everytime I put my hand anywhere near him. He seems nervous, but is also curious, especially when he sees the other one climbing on me. I want him to be able to come out and play, but I can't trust him not to bite hard and draw blood. I think it is partly nerves (he is new to me, after all) but also territorial aggression, as he is dominant over the other and will steal his treats. It got worse since I tried to catch him to take him out when I needed to clean his cage - he was spooked and bit me, which I felt was understandable; but now he will come up, sniff my hand and give me a painful, hard nip. Help!

when we got our dog, we didnt get her papers, she is a japanese akita, and we kinda sorta rescued her from a not so good home, she wasnt eating and wasnt being taken for walks, but we have been approached by another japanese akita owner wishing to breed with us, if we were to do so and sold the puppies, would we get in to bother for doing so even if we havent got papers? the ither owner has papers though.

I'm sitting here on my computer and my cat is behind me on the couch snoring, meowing, and growling in her sleep. This is not the first time. I think it's hilarious! Is this normal? Does anyone else have an animal that is so verbal while they are dreaming?

She is no where near a place where I have to put her to sleep but how far should I let her arthritis get before it is time to start thinking about it. I keep hearing quality of life but what does that mean. I have been to the vet and I have medication but I know she is not going to be as healthy as she used to be. I just do not want to be one of those people that let their dog suffer. I have purchased a bed for her to help but she stays on it all the time.

Near my working place, there is a dog which a few times turn agressive towards me (not sure why. I never disturb neither bother the dog before). How to prevent this from happening? I heard about paper spray, etc, but if I use that, will the dog become more aggressive next time as he will want to take revenge?

i have 2 dogs and one is getting significantly old. [i dont know exactly how old since i picked her up off the street and now loves being a pet]. shes very sweet to me and my family and weve had her for a very long time. however, she is TERRIFIED of anyone else! she wasnt like this when she was younger but i guess with age she feels that she can no longer defend herself? my bf visits me all the time and loves dogs and plays with the other dog i have...but my old dog is TERRIFIED OF HIM. even though he gives her treats, tries to pet her...stays low to the ground...helps me walk both the dogs....HELP! how do i or my bf convince this stubborn old dog that my bf isnt going to hurt her!?!

I am getting a Childrens Python not long from now and I have already purchased mice to breed and feed it. But I know it needs a variety of foods.
I want to know what is a good thing to feed it.

Also, do they eat those small lizards that run into the bushes when you go near them or flies?

I want to get a kitten but I don't want to get a really fluffy kitten because I don't really like FLUFFY, FLUFFY cats, I just want a cat that's fluffy but not too fluffy. Like one that's really soft and friendly. Can anyone recommend a breed?

She will take 1 of her 3 week old kittens to a location away from other 2. She does it with all of them usually some time during the day. It's NOT the same cat each time. Usually she drags it from the closet in bedroom to under a chair in the living room. She might lay their with it and nurse or she might leave it under chair and go eat, play, etc. Usually it will start crying and I will take it and put it with the others. Later the mama may bring that one back out or it may be a different one. She will do this several times a day and has been doing for about 3 days now.It's driving me nuts! Also, I have 2 other kittens that have lived with mama for 7 months, will they hurt the kittens? Having a hard time keeping them away from the babies.

I've never seen a dog do this before. We dont cut them because he runs around and files them on his own, also because he hates it when we try. Hes chewing on them himself though, and chipping them in half.

This past April I was horrified to spot a young & emaciated wild cat in the back woods of my apt. -- first spotted by my neighbor in Dec., 2005 who said he was feeding him - evidently not enough as the cat's bones were showing. Since that day of falling in love with him, “White Socks,” I’ve faithfully been feeding him, "9 Lives" canned food, "Friskies" dry food along w/ 'Half & Half' to drink – He won't drink water but from puddles and my neighbor found that he preferred the above vs. milk. Frequented twice a day for feeding, it's been difficult to establish a schedule, there’s another tamed/outdoor cat that perhaps due to cooler weather has become aggressive/territorial. I've recently resorted to spending hours at my window protecting my love's food. With winter approaching I’m terrified as how to help my cat. Pls, tell me how to win him over, food isn't enough. Two immediate concerns – what to feed in the winter and how to provide a warm secure haven on my baron porch. Thk You
