we just got 2 rats today. they are both females. we have them in a 10 gallon tank and the top add on part. so its like 4 stories for them. we have them the wood treats, food and water. and a little thing to hide under.. well the one rat plays around in that box thing and on the bottom. and the other will just set at the very top level with her eyes open.. why could she be doing this? she is grooming her self and everything but we are not sure if she is eatin or drinkin anything. could she be under stress? we picked her up, and she didnt want to be picked up or held but the other one is fine with being picked up or held...am I over reacting or what should I be worried about the rat? I mean she isnt lonely she has company.

I am taking care of an outdoor stray cat for the last 2.5 yrs. It took me about a year to even pet it. It was inside once when it was fixed. It has not been inside since and is good at being on her own. I feed her and I think another couple feed her once in awhile. I am moving and Im not sure if I should take her because she is so used to her surroundings and that it would be hard for her to adjust. I do not want to put her inside because I think it would be wrong and she wouldnt like it. Should I bring her to my new house or ask the new home owner if I can just drop off food for the cat ( if they are even ok with that)? My indoor/outdoor cat adapts well to change but Im not sure if this one will.

I had an 7 week old puppy that ate an advil! I called the vet immediatley and he told me to give him a half of a cup of peroxide! I called the vet about 5 times to make sure that was the right amount. My puppy started to vomit and then became very ill, i then called the vet back and asked if this was normal! My vet then told me to take him to the ER, I ended up having to put him to sleep! I found out that the peroxide is what killed my puppy! I know have an $1100 vet bill and NO puppy and this vet does not want to help me with anything! What can I do!!!! What I want..... I can have..... my puppy!

Hey, ok, so my question is about my adorabley cute (slightly crazy...I think she has it in for me) cat. She is about 6 months old now and I don't think she has yet gone into heat...though I know it's coming soon. When we first got her I gave her this small camel toy thingy and now she carries it around in her mouth and takes it for a little walks. Lately though, I noticed that everytime that she is around it she gets....Weird. Non-stop meowing, rubbing against it, almost as though she is in heat. But she doesnt do that when she is not near it so I have doubts that it is heat. My mom thinks she is just attatched to it but I think my cat is a little too attatched, if you know what Im saying. (Note: She isn't fixed yet, but she is an indoor cat and we don't have other cats. We will of course get her fixed within this month.) Is this just normal? Is it heat? Pre-heat? Is she getting frisky with it? What are your thoughts?

I've read an article saying that Egyptian Mau should be thaught that fun doesn't mean aggression. How?

My 12 wks old Mau is the smartest cat I ever had, the cuddliest and the sweetest, but also the meanest! Lately when it comes to play time he become more and more aggressive. He bites so hard that he drew blood. I've said firm NO, screaming OUCH and yelling STOP IT. He would stop, but few minutes later will go back biting people until he's no longer in the mood to play and then will come to us purring and ask for space on our lap. I also gave him time outs in one room away from people. He knows he's being punished but I don't think he understand for what. I tried spray bottle but the dude loves water and often join people in the shower so it didn't work to stop him.

How to teach a Mau that fun doesn't mean aggression?

Many people dislike or fear chows. They consider them to be mean dogs. What is your opinion of them as a breed?

I live in an apartment building and want to get a puppy. I know dogs bark, but can anybody recommend a breed that is generally quieter?

Also, I want a dog. Do not give me frou-frou breeds like chihuaha or poodle; I want a man's best friend-type of dog.

He is very stiff when he first gets up from laying down for a while. Almost like his back legs went to sleep. After standing for a minute or two he is fine and love to run and play. The vet says this is common for puppies with long legs but we are still worried. Sometimes he doesn't want to get up at all because of it. The vet recommended a food change and we did that but it isn't haveing any effect. The vet said it would go away at around 18 months or so. Anybody else have this issue with a standard poodle?

I will be getting paradise fish soon, and the internet says that they thrive {like their cousins the fighting fish and gouramis} in dirty, mosquito larvae water. How do I make that? Should I just leave out a bucket of water and wait overnight?? Btw,I live in Australia where all the mosquitos live...

I have a foster cat with her 2 kittens in a HUGE kennel so she and her kittens can walk and play .
she keeps trying to take them out..how can I get her to not do that. I understand why she is doing it but it's the safest place for them.

I have the back and sides covered with a sheet to make her feel safe, should I cover the front with one also to make her feel safe ?

ok gonna give this one more try, then i'll give up. let me first say i do not feed my dogs anything but a high quality dog food, nor do i plan to feed them anything but dog food. ok with that said...earlier i asked about answers being givin on here that not only are not factual but downright wrong and dangerous. for the 3rd time today i have seen someone answer a question about feeding a dog human food with the answer of no it will cause worms. a dog only gets an intestinal parasite from eating the eggs and larvae of other parasties. wether that be from another dog's feces, fleas, wild animal, etc...i have seen a question about a dog eating chocolate answered several times by "it won't kill them but it will give them worms." my question is, am i the only one here that is disturbed by this? and the amount of people that agree with those statements? and does anyone really read this far into a question to give an intelligent answer?
