I have a full grown bearded dragon, and I also have a small landhermit crab. (less than an inch in length). Would it be alright so put the crab in with the dragon? I don't want the dragon to try to eat it. I don't know if a dragon would be interested.

1st question: I have 2 rats and they are both male. They have fleas and I can not get rid of them! I have tried and tried to get the fleas away but nothing works... they are sick. They are about 1 1/2 yrs old. Would I be able to give the rats to a pet store? I don't want them to be fed to a snake.
2nd question: My cat has been having bloody poop for a few weeks I think... I don't know what it is. I told my mom to take her to the vet and she gave the cat some worm stuff. I know the cats have worms but I asked my mom to take the cat to the vet. This bloody poop has gotten on my floor, walls, closet, bed, all over. I'm upset. She's a wild cat.. I found her and her littermates when they were kittens. The others[4 others] got killed one day and she was the only survivor. But yeah what do you think it is? And please don't tell me to take her to the vet cause
I am taking her asap.

My hamster keeps biting the cage even though I leave a lot of those wood for her in the cage. I don't want to buy another cage.
Is it gonna damage my hamster's health in any way and how can I get her to stop it?

My neighbors across the street allow their two boys (about 8-10 yrs. old) and their very large dog to constantly roam around the neighborhood, including my yard.

The dog is never on a leash, and the kids are unable to control where he goes. I wouldn't mind so much if the dog stayed in their yard, or if the dog had some obedience training. He never comes when they call him, and I also saw him go after a jogger last week...

The kids have been cutting through my yard to use the playground behind my house, which wouldn't be so bad if they wouldn't let my rabbit out of it's cage when they go through. At least three times now, the rabbit has been found loose, and those kids are the only ones I've seen in my yard....

I plan to put up a fence in the backyard, but they will still be able to come in the front. Any ideas on how to fix this without using brute force??? Should I just call Animal Control? Fence in my entire yard? Isn't it trespassing if their kids are in my yard?

I have a very pregnant guppy and she is having fry, but she is having them at a rate of 1 a day! I have never seen anything like this before. She has had 3 fry in 3 days. Yesterday I thought maybe I just wasn't seeing them and I pulled the tank apart, but today she had another one! Is this harmful to her? Is it normal? I haven't read about anything similar.

I finally got my two new ferrets (2 years old, both males). Both are neutered, and I have done ALOT of research. However, I was hoping to find some personal experience about the ferret's natural odor.

Any other ferret tips are also highly appreciated!

From what I understand, if you bathe them too often, the smell is actually WORSE. However, is de-scenting going to make much of a change? Are there any other tried and true tricks for lessening the smell?

Thank you!

i don't mind cleaning the tank once a week for my res but whenever they eat, they spit their food everywhere and its causing the water to smell and dirty faster than usual. should i put the food in a basking dry area instead of the water so the food won't go everywhere? thanks in advance guys!

Some house pests sometimes enter my betta's bowl. When a fly or mosquito gets in my house they try to lay eggs in my betta's bowl and he eats them. Ants also get into the water sometims and he sometimes eats them. I read that in the wild, that those are the things bettas eat. But is a pet betta okay for that?

I noticed that when I take her outside and she's laying down, it's worse, which leads me to believe it's allergies. There are also times when she sounds likes she's choking in the evening after laying down like she's trying to get something out of her throat, like a wheezing sound. Any advice? By the way, I am going to call the vet tomorrow, just wondering if anyone else has experienced this with their dogs.

Im not sure if they humidity will be any different once I get him in the 55gal tank. Is there anything I can do to get it to drop into the desert zone on the gauge? I dont keep water in his tank. I just mist his food so he can get his water that way.

My 16 year old cat has a promblem with her potassium levels. I have a question about it. Would you be able to give a cat potassium pills that are sold in stores for people. I would never do anything to harm my cat and am asking first if it would hurt her or be alright.

my rabbit started limping recently and before that she was perfectly fine. I don't know how to diagnose her. She has patches of no fur on her hind legs, not the bottom of her feet, where it looks like you can see bone/tendon. It looks raw too. I am very worried and can't seem to figure out what it is! any help would be great, thanks!
