I have a male betta. He recently underwent a bit of stress, moving from a 10 gallon tank to a bowl to a 5 gallon tank. (The bowl was while he was in transition). He is very active in his new tank but seems to be fanning his gills a lot. Also, there are a lot of bubbles gathered on top of the water. I've read that betta sometimes make bubblenests but I thought it was only when they are breeding. So is it a bubblenest or do bettas just always leave air bubbles? And is he just fanning because of the stress of moving of could something be wrong?

my parents agreed to get me a horse for graduation. i have expierience with horses and know how to care for them. i have a good job so i have money to pay for everything and we have sufficient lodgeings for a horse or two so don't worry, any horse i would get would be well taken care of. my problem is that i feel i won't have enough time for a younger more energetic horse that has to be thourouly exersized everday and ridden all the time so i think i would be better off with an older horse that wouldn't mind hanging out in a nice meadow during the week and only having heavier riding and such on the weekends. would this be fair to an older horse? or should i just stick with riding my grandma's horses on weekends?

A cat is always coming into our backyard and is trying to get into my rabbits hutch so the cat can eat it!
We were going to take it to the council but everytime we go outside when it is in our backyard it will run away. This has been happening for a while now!
What should I do!?
Also my rabbit thinks that the cat is her friend so she always goes over near the cat.
Is there a disiese that a cat can carry and give a rabbit?
And what do you think I should do to try and get rid of the cat!?

I just transplanted my two dwarf puffers from my 28 gallon full of community fish (zebra danios, catfish and mickey platies) to their own tank -- a ten gallon tank. I syphoned 6 gallons from the 28 gallon tank, added 3 gallons of spring water, 1 hornwort plant, 2 frill plants, 2 cups of gravel substrate from the 28 gallon with new gravel that I pre-rinsed and soaked.

So far they seem to be faring well. But are two enough for the 10 gallon? I'd like to get 2 more but worry that won't be enough "territory" for them.

Are 4 dwarf puffers going to be overcrowed in a 10 gallon tank that's somewhat planted?

Oh. And I feed them bloodworms and give them treats of brine shrimp and tubifex worms as treats. The black ramshorn snails I get from Petsmart and bloodworms have been their staple diet in the previous 28 gallon community tank, that I plan to continue in the 10 gallon tank.

I've been thinking for a few months that I'd like to follow in my father's foot steps...he rescues abused and neglected farm animals and rehabilitates them for use in his free neighborhood petting zoo...I was raised rescueing and rehabilitating animals with him and now that I'm 18, a high school grad with a full time job, I'm looking to start college...pick a career...I don't want to be rich or famous but I want to make a difference in the world around me during my lifetime...I couldn't be a vet or an animal cop, although I'd like to I just don't think it's right for me...I thought about opening up a no-kill shelter but have no clue how to and I've been told that's something you lose money on (I may not want to be rich but I do want to be a home owner)...I loved what my dad and I did together but it was a hobby not a career...I thought maybe taking this class might help me decide what to do in life:

She is 10 years old. She will follow me from room to room finding a place to sleep. I tried to get to excercise but when we do she will not exceed more than walking. I know it is not because of her age, yesterday we went to Petsmart for a vaccination and she acted like apuppy, so I know she has the energy. Now, she is going into my closet, acting very aloof, she never used to act this way. Help!!??

We have tried both peas and carrots as well as his regular food, but he won't eat anything. He will just take it into his mouth and then spit it out again.

I have a five foot Martin cage that I had customized with a pull out tray. It is still too time consuming to clean and I don't like that the rats are on wire flooring.

This cage looks really good (though it is marketed for Ferrets) --

Are there any other great cages out there?
