I'm trying to give away my Bunny (super cute!) but everytime I try to look up websites it just gives me websites to buy bunnies, not sell.

I have read about toxoplasmosis and how to stay away from the litter and etc...
I was just wondering does it hurt your chances of becoming pregnant and also what to do when you are pregnant besides stay away from the litter. My kitten is indoor all the time anyways...
Is it worth keeping your kitten while pregnant?
Also what do you do when the baby gets here besides keep the kitten away from "jumping in the crib" and other things my grandmothers warn me of.
Thanks much i know this sounds silly.
Just curious of how you all handled this....

For the first 2 weeks my 3 m/o puppy didn't do too bad with his crate training. Whined for a minute or 2 then stopped and slept. For a few days he didn't even whine. The last 2 days, however, he has to be pushed into the crate and barks and howls for seemingly endless amounts of time. Any ideas?

The other cat has worms and are present around the tail. Is it safe to have them use the same litter box? Or am i risking contamination of my cat? Also, should i keep them separated?

I feed my dog pedigree chump every day for lunch and dinner(obviously i give her more than just that, she gets porridge for breakfast, dog treats, food scraps such as chicken, turkey etc now and then).

Is food like Pedigree chump good for dogs? I have a sneaking suspicion it cant be very good and is full of chemicals and other crap. I sometimes give my dog organic dog food from healthfood shops but it's not very convient as it's not always available and Pedigree has vegetables and pasta in the tin and I like my dog to have a bit of variety.

What brand of dog food do you give your dog? And does anyone have any evidence dog food on the shelves is bad?

I had a sick goldfish and treated with Maracyn I also had high PH levels which is now back to normal for a week now. Since getting the the PH balanced the fish (3) seemed to be themselves again. However, now I have noticed some red lines in my gold ones tail and it looks like her orange colour is peeling off on one small part of her gill. My big black moors lips have turned white, not fuzzy but just white. I want to treat for fungus but not to sure what to use. Maracyn didn't really help. Should I use Maracyn2? and what about the red strips what is that???. I don't want to over treat. Could it be after effects of bad PH levels? Thank you

Dog Helps Youngster to Safety
A 3-year-old black and white pit bull resembling Pete the Pup from the 1940s "Little Rascals" shows grabbed the back of a girl's jacket and helped her out of a burning home Thursday night. After 6-year-old Autumn Marley alerted her mother that the Nordale Road home where they were staying was on fire, the dog--also named Marley, by coincidence--grabbed the girl as she struggled to get out the back door of the burning house and helped her to safety, said the dog's owner, Jennifer Ingram. "She's always been an awesome dog, but I didn't know she was capable to doing this," Ingram said of Marley, who she raised from a pup.

A lot of pets are bought and then abandoned. Another thing that many people don't know is that some pet stores simply discard female dogs after they can't give birth anymore.

Moreover, mixed breeds are generally smarter and healthier than pure breeds.

I have a ten gallon aquarium and I was thinking that I would try to set up a salt water aquarium this time. I wondered if someone could guide me through what I need to do. I sort of wanted to start out small before I go and invest in a big aquarium. Is a ten gallon tank even feasible for a salt water aquarium? Any suggestions are appreciated.

I need to know how do I train my Pom to not bite???? It doesn't hurt now but when he gets a bit older, I know it will. I started off by saying firmly "NO" in a very loud tone (almost yelling like) as when I just say a firm "no" he'd just continue as if he didn't hear a thing. When I say it loud, he'd stop and look at me and I'd give him the stare down and he'd eventually look away and throw a tantrum trying to break himself free from me and walk away or sometimes he throws himself to the ground and covers up his eyes with his paws! Lately, he's been ignoring my firm "NO" and continues with the biting and his teeth are beginning to get sharp. He also seems as if he's challenging me as he's getting a bit rougher when I tell him "NO".

I've tried yelping and walking away however, he just follows me wagging his tail or he'll go to one of his toys and I'll take it away. He's not getting it! What do I need to do to show him that the playful biting is not always ok?? I'm out of solutions!
