I had a question a few weeks ago about tips for an African Grey Parrot I had taken in. He was a wee bit unhappy and feeling neglected and had pulled all the feathers on his legs, back and belly.

I have now had him for 6 weeks and he has a soft down all over his body and tiny red tail feathers coming in (shh don't tell him) he still pulls the odd one now and again, but on the whole is fine.

He seems to be happy, he whistles sings, talks away, barks like the dog and says Ouch!! when he feels tempted to pull, BUT he is a seed addict. He came to me that way.

I can get him to eat peas, pomegranite, pear, banana, the odd bit of corn and a wee bit of scrambled egg or cheese, but everything else gets thrown at me, he wont even try it. I am supplimenting his diet just now to make sure he stays healthy, but has anyone got any tips to get hm to move to something healthier than seed.

Oh if I take away his seed he wont eat - he is that stubborn!!!

I love my cat Omar but he has some bad habits that I just dont know how to break. First is that if his uses litter box once he wont use it again until its cleaned out. I usually keep up on because I know how he is, but if I go away for a few hours he'll kick all of his litter all over the floor. His second habit is that he claws the heck out of my carpets. He has scratching posts and other toys, but he wont play with them. I can't put him outside because he hates to go out. I'm also worried about his weight. He's about 27 lbs and I feed him iams weight control, but he just likes to lay around.

Given the current anti Gitem and Newfie whatever campaign, and being sort of a devil's advocate, I would like to hope,knowing nothing of current history, why one of your answers is not viewable? Was it that Bad???
Gitem and Newfie whatever, do me a favour, I am not a yank, I really don't understand your internet "speak" so please, if you choose to answer, do so in a fashion that a simple Oz chick can understand

We moved to a new apartment this Monday and my four-month-old puppy seems to be reacting badly. Despite our best efforts, he was very stressed on moving day so he didn't have his usual naps and he started having loose stools that evening. The next day (Tuesday) he didn't have much appetite and what he would eat I had to give him by hand. He continued to have loose stools and slept pretty much all day. Today (Wednesday) he is still lethargic and while he did poo and pee as usual this morning he ate very little and won't drink. We are seeing the vet this afternoon to rule out any serious problems but in the meantime I was just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience with their puppy and what happened...I know puppies are sensitive to stress but I am very worried!

Why do people go and get pets without researching first? Why are they so selfish?!

My cat has fleas and i was wondering if using advantage is enough to kill them all. I know fleas dont live on the cat so does that mean i have to bomb my house as well. I don't know how that would work because my cat is a inside cat and i have no where else to put him if i try and bomb the house. so do you think if i use advantage on him it will take care of the problem?

I have two dogs a very smart beagle(nickname for him is houdini) and a pit bull. We're thinking of getting a radio collar for him along w/ a fence. Has anybody ever had trouble with their dogs escaping these invinsible fences for dogs?
