Thank you for reading this, I have woken up this morning and found that my female budgie, which is about 1 year old, has pulled ALOT of feathers out. She has a companian, a male budgie but I haven't bought a breeding box because I don't want anymore. She has lots of toys but she just likes sitting on a perch with the male budgie. She is eating regulary, and the only thing that has changed is that I have recently put a mirror in, oh, and we recently had a mouse. What is wrong with her? She looks awful. What do I do?

I have a 70L (roughly 15.3 gallons) tropical freshwater JUWEL tank.
I already have,
4x Zebra Danio,
2x Guppy,
1x Powder Blue Gourami,
2x Elegant Corydoras.
I would like something non agressive, non territorial and quite hardy.
I have fake plants, gravel and three rocks if that helps.
Any Ideas? Or you could just tell me your favourite fish or what you have.
Thanks.

Have you ever experienced the death of a close family member, only to then lose the family pet close in time thereafter?

I think it is a frequent occurence. Have you experienced it or know of someone who did? Explain what happened.

10 years old. Spent 99% of her life outside.She has integrated into the household nicely.Except...when I bring her into the house after being toileted and the other husky is there,she attacks her. They do not hurt each other...just noise and frightening...I handle it...I calm them down.Does anyone know why this is happening? The old husky is a good dog calm and loving yet she explodes!!!

My puppy (13 wks) has been eating SO MUCH less than usual these past days. could this be part of growing up?

She peed and pooed everywhere and on herself. The vet said she was too spoiled. What can I do? How can I teach her to behave so that next time it goes right? Thanks!

My puppy is one of my only 2 family members. I treat him like my baby cause he is my baby. I lost my baby due to miscarriage and after that I got my puppy and I'm giving him all my love and care that I had stored for my baby in Heaven. And this is the only way I can feel better about loosing my baby. The problem is that I can't find many dog friendly places. Just last night I took my puppy into a store and one of the staff person told me that dog is not allowed in there. So what am I supposed to do? leave him in the car? Would you leave your infant baby in the car while you go shopping?
Anyway, so I'm really looking for dog friendly places around Southern Cali where I can spend time with my puppy.

We have a 17 week old yorkie-maltese mix. We were thinking of litter training him. Good idea? Bad idea? How can we do this? Any advice will help. We are up in the air right now. He gets cold easily so outside potty training may be a problem. It seems his favorite place to go is the bathroom. We were thinking of maybe putting a litterbox in there. Yes?

We have two german shepherds 18 and 14 months. We got Otto when Fritz was 10 months old. It was clear from the start although younger, Otto was the dominant dog. We have left the two of them to work out where they were in the pack and there were many 'disputes' between the two of them but never towards us.
We have re-enforced the pack positions by treating them in ways appropriate to their position and thought the agression from Otto to Fritz would stop. The instances have decreased in number, as time has gone on but their intensity hasn't.
Otto will have a got at Fritz at the slightest misdeamour (ie trying to go out the door before him, he thinks he is getting more attention from us etc) Although noisy the spats have been in the past all noise and bluster but in the last two weeks they have become a little more violent.They get on well rest of time
What can we do to sort the problem out? Should we ignore it and hope they sort it out,or discipline Otto whenever he has a go at Frit
