ive been into fish keeping for over a year now, have had various species from angels/african cichlids/silver sharks/plecos/tiger barbs/silver dollar/discus/parrot cichlids(who are very intelligent and funny)etc. etc. but none of these has got my attention like the oscar..

i actually treat this fish like a proper pet(i.e dog) i have just about seen all tropical fish now and the oscar is a league of his own imo..

what makes these fish so special cause at first i thought they looked like nothing special but now there are my favourite without question??

i have two guinea pigs and their cage is often full of ants. i don't want to use those ant killing chemicals because they are probably bad for the piggies [rite?], is baby powder ok? or should i use something else?

i have this crab , the only time i ever see the little guy is when i do maintenance on the filter for my aquarium because he has taken up residence in there, no matter how many times i put him in the aquarium he still goes in there, i have plenty of rocks with little nooks to hide in so i dont know why he chooses the filter, im afraid he will starve to death because he NEVER comes out. ive never seen him eat a pellet even once. so what can i do? theres now way to block the filter because of how it operatres, he get up to the edge of the tank and works his way around to the spillout part of the filter and in he goes. what could i do to encourage him to live in the damnd fish tank like a normal crab rather then in the filter box?

I just got a bulldog. He is about five years old. I have had him for over a week now. His bowels have been loose but I think that is the wet food that I feed him. Today he has had diera in his crate and thrown up on my floor three times. He has all week thrown up on my floor about once a day. Today I have given him rice and chicken broth for his dinner but he will not eat it. He stiffed the bowl and then walked away. I cant tell if he his being defiant because I am working throughout the day and he feels that I am not spending enough time with him or is he sick and then what should I do if he is not gong to eat.

I have a question that I am posting for my son.
He has a cat that "inhales" her food and then after she eats, she
throws up. What causes this and how can it be prevented?
Thanks!!

My daughter bought 6 mice (much to my dismay) 2-3 weeks ago. One ran away about a week after we got it (we learned that the cage allowed this). But recently, two mice have died. My daughter tells me that she feeds them daily, they have plenty of water, and she cleans their cage every other day. My daughter is heartbroken and thinks she is killing them. What's happening???
Also...
My husband bought her a large bag of pine for bedding (could this be the problem?).
At first the sick ones became lethargic (not running in their wheel), then in a couple of of hours they lay down (breathing hard) and they die soonafter.
Please help!

So I've had my 29 gallon up and running since Friday. I am in no hurry to add fish, haha, paydays not till this Friday! I have heard countless times that I should do a fishless cycle, how benificial it is, etc. I really do not want to add pure ammonia to my tank to develop the bacteria. I just dont feel comfortable with it. Can't I just add a scoop of gravel from my 10 gallon which has been set up for nearly 4 years? I hae added stress zyme, which is supposed to help add benificial bacteria. I also want to add 2 of my zebra danios from my 10 to the 29, in order to start the cycling process. Is this a good idea? Answerers, please take care to answer all parts of my question, recently only specific parts have been answered!

My outdoor cat of 8 years disappeared yesterday. Not sure if runover, coyote got it or if someone took it. I am going to hope someone took it and wanted it for a pet. He was a good pet and a great mouser. Amazing he was able to survive so long out side. Even though at times I let him in the house especially during the winter months. Anybody out there lose a pet recently by death or run away? Is difficult no?

My bunny is lying on his side, freaking out and "digging" and won't get up. This is part of a litter of three, one died previously and was found much in the same position only 5 minutes before he died.

This bunny does not seem to be in pain, but is unable to get up. I can NOT get to a vet for probably another 2 hours. Unless I can find someone to watch my toddler or find a taxi with a child seat.

Is there anything I can do at home?

If I do get to the vet is there any chance there is anything that can be done?

im going away for 3 weeks and ive asked my family member to put food in his bowl everyday and fresh water. but my tiel is a one person bird and doesnt like other people around. His cage is 3.5 feet in length, so its enough room for him to stay in it all the time. but will he be okay without being cuddled with and stroked everyday? will he still remember me when i come back? (this will be the first time im leaving him).

I'm going to get a Cardigan Welsh Corgi soon. Is there a way where I can get a Cardigan Welsh Corgi without me paying too much? Also, are there any breeders that will give away free CWCs? Does anyone know any breeders? I don't want to waste too much money on the CWC and its necessary items, for example, a leash, collar, house, water and food bowls.
