I'm looking to adopt/rescue a Yorkshire Terrier. It would be my first time owning a pet independently. I just had a few questions regaurding their care :I'd like to know what amount of time is safe to leave a Yorkshire Terrier by itself, the average cost of rescue/adoption, and the average monthly cost of owning such a pet. Between my roommate and I the puppy would be alone approximately 2.5-3 hours a day. I'd also like to know the approximately how many grooming trips a month I would need to take the dog to if I kept his/her hair relatively short. I was speaking to my mother about caring for a dog and she was concerned because I live in a flat instead of a house, do you believe that this would cause a problem? I'd just like to be 100% that this is an educated dissicion and one that is in the best interest of the dog. Thank you so much in advance.

I haven't fed him since November and I just bought a small rat today, but the snake won't eat. I gave the rat to him around 45 minutes ago and the snake just sits there and idk what to do because he should be hungry he hasn't eaten for 2 months! Does anyone know what's wrong or something I can do to get him to eat?

I am fighting a long a bloody war with cyanobacteria in my 20 gallon nanotank. I'm about out of options, things to try. Looking for new tactics.

Here's the story:

Prizm Pro skimmer (supposedly good to 300, but Bob Fenner says 55 -- anyway I have 20)
About 25 lbs live rock, well seasoned, good coralline growth.
One smallish emerald crab
One dottyback - pseudochromis diadema
Two yellow fin blue damsels - medium sized
Four smallish hermit crabs
One smallish bud of mushroom "coral" anemone

PH 8.2 -- Phosphate 6 ish -- Nitrate < 5 ppm -- Nitrite / Ammonium 0 -- 80 degrees -- 9 Alkalinity

Aragonite substrate. Diatom growth on tank walls. Assorted live rock hitchhikers.

I feed most of one cube frozen krill / shrimp, strained to remove phosphate. At same time, I drop two drops concentrated zooplankton mix into 8 ounce and reintroduce.

DAILY water change of about 3/4 gallon. Did a larger change of about 20% over the weekend.

Cyano still persistent. Help.

I have a young male mini rex rabbit. Would you recommend this litter/bedding for him?

http://www.petsmart.com/global/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524441774894&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302047882&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=2534374302023695&bmUID=1169505371071&itemNo=4&In=Small+Pet&N=2047882&Ne=2

If not, what works best for you?!?

Also, do you put a LITTERBOX INSIDE THE CAGE or like do you put some of this litter in the litterbox that's in the cage and also on the floor of the cage....or what?? tell me what YOUR mini rex's cage looks like.

Yes, I know... Neutering would be the obvious answer, and I would if I could, but it is out of the question right now... Even PETA is more than we can afford right now. January is a bad month economically for us, and everyone usually. :-( The only thing I could think of is put him outside. We have a fenced in back-yard (which probably wouldn't stop a cat.. but lets hope) I put a cage out there for him to sleep in lined with towels, and a heating pad... but I feel horrible about it. I really don't mean to be cruel, but I don't know what else to do. My house has smelled strongly of cat urine for several days, I can't go to work with my clothes smelling like that! Any ideas?

*My vet is on vaca until Fri -in the meantime, I want to know if anyone has any experience/knowledge with this type of scenario?*

My family cat, Dallas, is about 9 & lives with my Dad. He used to be the coolest cat. In Aug, 2 new cats were introduced to the house & he has NOT taken to them. (At first he urinated EVERYWHERE).

He has his own litterbox, food dishes/area and even his own bedding space (all of these the other cats can't get to-they have their own) he's still not right. He flips out RANDOMLY, almost like an anxiety attack, yowling & hissing & other times he's sullen. He also basically just sits around all day.
I miss my cat dearly & don't want him to live a life like that. I am bringing him to my place to live, which is about 350 mi away.
My questions:

-Will he survive the trip? I'm afraid he will have an anxiety/heartattack!

-Will he go back to the way he was?

-Is he too old to adjust to a new place?

Thanks in advance!

I have a really big dog! A Black lab, he is not even a year yet. We dont have a big enough home for that big dog! But I have two choices, 1. To get rid of my dog and get a smaller dog and my dog go to a big farm with a pond ( he loves water) or...... 2. Keep my dog and get a big fence and get a trainer which is alot of money! But if we do that we would barley have money. I love my dog ALOT, but should I take #1 or #2? P.S REMEMBER I LOVE MY DOG!
