I have found my dead gerbil with half of his face ripped off. My other gerbil is fine but at one point he looked as if he was gnawing at the dead one? Is it possible they had a fight to the death or that "Parsnip" just died of old age and my other gerbil was feeling peckish? All answers welcome

We just lost our 3 yr old labrador suddenly 1 1/2 weeks ago and we will be wanting to get a new puppy but one that stays small. I am from Australia so what are some good breeds that are avilable here.
I am 15 and usually at home when im not at school or at work(once aweek) but my mum is always at home, so there is always somebody there.
We want a small dog that stays small and does have very long hair (that requires much grooming).
We also don't want to pay a fortune so under $260 aussie dollars.
We like the look of a pomm x aussie terrior, but we want suggestions!!!!

And also what can I do to speed up the process of getting a new puppy. My mum does want a new dog but she is saying not just yet. How can i try to convince her to get one soon.
I am a big pet lover so is my family.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ALL WILL BE APPRECIATED.

and he sucks on us as though he is nursing! how do we get him to stop?

we have tried thumping his nose lightly, and telling him no it doesn't work

even when we push him away he just comes back and tries again!

we also have his sister from the same litter and she is normal (if there is such a thing when it comes to cats)

Got any ideas, and directions on how to teach them?
my dog's great, she already knows sit, and come, and she just recently got fixed, but is overall healthy. She walks fine off the leash, i can even let her in my front yard (which has no fencing), and not have to worry about her running off, even if there are other people or dogs running around, she just sits there like a good dog, and i didn't even train her that! i just want some more tricks to be able to teach her, because she seems to be able to catch on very quickly and i don't want to waste that!

Thanks a Bunch!!

My fiancee and I can't agree on the kind of dog to get. I want a smaller dog such as a mini yorkie. He thinks they are ugly. Any suggestions. Small dogs preferred.

Hi everyone, I have an 18 week old puppy who is a West Highland White Terrier weighing at 8 lbs. and she is very active and playful. Recently, I had an argument with my boyfriend about how much food to feed her considering the Purina One puppy bag says 1/2 to 1 and he only gives her 1/4 a cup 3 times a day. Is this enough or should I give her 1/2 a cup 3 times a day instead? She always seems to be hungry aftering eating and I once gave her a little extra and she ate all of it and seemed to still be hungry. Answers will be grealy appreciated!

Help! How do I keep my cat off of the table and doing other things she shouldn't? I clap my hands, yell "no" and have even gotten a little squirt gun. (My cat, it turns out, loves water and is impervious to the squirt gun.) I do give her lots of attention, so I don't understand why she has to do things that she knows she shouldn't do--eats food from the table when we're not looking, dumps over the trash, tries to pull the tags off of our clothes. It's almost like it is fun for her to do bad things! She is about 8 months old.

Wich do you think is a better animal to have a cat or a dog and what do you think makes one better then the other. What is the positive and negative to each animal.
