I really REALLY want a pet. I am 23 so I am responsible enough to care for an animal by myself. Because of my living situation, I am not able to have a cat or a dog right now and I don't want a bunny. I need something that can be in a cage most of the time but I would prefer something that I can pet and play with sometimes too. I would be ok with a lizard or reptile of some sort, but I would like one that is vegetarian (Ive had cricket-eating lizards before and it's a pain to feed the crickets and gut-load them and all that stuff). I don't have a lot of time so I'd like a pet that is fairly low-maintenence. Also, I don't want an animal that is really smelly. Cost isn't really an issue. I was thinking maybe a chinchilla or a guniea pig. Any thoughts or ideas?

Yesterday I posted a question about symptoms for FIV. I was waiting to receive results of lab work, couldn't get in touch with my vet, and I was desperate. The results came in today, and thankfully, Basil does not have FIV. I can't tell you all how relieved I was to hear that good news! We still don't know what is wrong, but the vet thinks it's an upper-respiratory infection. There are no definitive symptoms, other than a little occasional wheeze/cough. His white cell count is low.

Basil is still not eating - I'm force feeding baby food mixed with liquid from canned chicken - but he is purring, grooming, and happy. Wants to cuddle. The vet did give me a special diet food, Science A/D, but Basil won't eat it for me.

Thanks to each of you who offered advice, support, and words of kindness and encouragement. I gave you all a "thumbs up." Thanks again, and while my cat is still not "out of the woods," at least I know it's not the serious illness I had thought it might be.

I have a 7 month old hound/lab/shepard mix. He has completely destroyed 3 beds in the past 3 months (2 in the last week). How can I keep him from doing this? I leave 2 or 3 chew toys in his crate (stuffed with goodies), and he is not in the crate for more than 4 hours at a time. It even happens when people are home. The last bed was this morning. I left at 7 AM, and my roomate called me at 10 saying that he shredded his bed again!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I got my puppy from a rescue foundation in August. When I got him, they had already named him Petey. I have been going with it ever since because he seems to know that it is his name. But, I do not like the name at all. Is it too late to change it? I am also taking him to obedience classes right now, and I am hesitant to change his name while he is learning.

If you think it is OK to change his name, do you have any suggestions? He is a mutt, hound and lab on the paperwork (although I definitely see German Shepard in him too).

Thanks in advance for any help.

We have several chickens, only one lets itself be held by a person. Is there any way they can become more friendly? Theyre hens.

I have already asked the question: Are there water snakes in California? A girl says that I have a Garter Snake in my spa. I looked up water snakes in California, and I DO have a Garter Snake in there. I am scared. I want to get it out, but I WILL NOT kill it. How do I get a snake out of my spa?

eats small pebbles, the fish food the long orange kind. He likes sleeping under a pillow, like we we sing to him. When we ignore him or leave to go out when we come his tank is in a mess he kicks and scratches up everything. He like to stretch out his limbs and head and float in the water. He is always trying 2 get away. Lately he has started kickin and snapping violently and nothing under the water Can he recognise his name. I heard that u can tell the male from the female by it,s length of claws how long 4 a male. Is a turtle supposed 2 behave like this thanx.
