Pets - 29 December 2006

We lost our budgie on December 10th in Melbourne, Australia. He's mainly white, with a blue belly, and has some grey areas as well, and is hand-tamed. We all miss him so much :(

I have looked around on google on how to make my own parakeet website but can't find anything. I have learned a lot about parakeets since i have one and thought it would be fun to be able to answer any questions someone has. Does anyone know how to make a free parakeet website?

Have had a 150 gallon salt and a 75 gallon fresh tank for years. It seems like the few times I have got a fish from PetCo...their fish wiped out my tank. Has this happened to you? Best Story gets Best answer!

He laughs and gets everyone in the car to give him a high five. If we don't he gets angry. I need the cheap ride, but I feel sorry for the cats and dogs he runs down.

I have just heard the most stupid things ever!!!
Using water!!! Yeah, because everyone knows that water sticks just fine.
Vasiline? Are you kidding me?
Where do they come up with this insanity?
Oh well, I guess even stupid people need hobbies!

She tends to lick fingers, nose, cheek or neck, before biting. It's not a nip either, it's a bite!

I tried using water and getting all the air bubbles out. But once the water dried out, air bubbles developed, and now when you're at an angle you don't see the background because of the air inbetween the glass and background. How do I fix this so there are no bubbles?

I had two hamsters about 5 years ago, that both died in the same cage (at different times). I put the cage away in the garage, and it got all rust and old, so when I decided to get a new hamster the other day I decided to get a new cage. But the items in the old cage, like the plastic exercise wheel and hamster igloo are all fine, just really dusty with lot's of spider webs. I want to use them in the new cage for my new hamster but I'm wondering if they will be safe for my hamster? I have soaked them in boiling water with soap for about an hour. Are they okay to use now, or could they still have germs on them even if I cleaned them?

I've had my mini daschund for about a week now. She's amazing! But I've noticed, she's VERY needy. She wines whenever she's not touching skin to skin. It's super cute! I've noticed to she's very attached to me over everyone else. She always loves on everyone that shows her attention but as soon as I walk in the room she stops what she's doing and races over to me. Is this a nomal characteristic of mini daschunds? And what other characteristics can I look forward to. What are their pros and cons??

We just got a 9week old 1/2border collie and 1/2 lab mix a week ago and he is VERY whinny. We have tried everything and he just keeps crying and crying when he is in is crate for the night. My husband is very frustrated and I tell him its just the puppy and he will grow out of it, what do ya think? Our poor pug is about beside himself with the one crying all the time too...

I just got my fish a fancy gold fish for my son. As soon as I had it showed signs of the fin rot. I went to the pet store that we got the fish at and he gave me some meds for it. It is only a gallon tank so he told me to cut the pill into 8. I did this. Should I put one of the little tiny things in it for 5 days? or 8 days to make it a full tablet? I hope my fish is going to be okay, if it's not I give up and I am not having any more fish.
Any other suggestions?
THanks.
