Ratcoons have been coming into my barn to kill and eat my baby rabbits for the past two days. In the process, they flipped my other rabbits cages completly over, killed my rabbits, tramatized my male rabbit, and bit holes into my water bottles. I've never had this problem before, and I've had rabbits for 4-5 years. I've went from 11 rabbits to 5. They've also ended up killing my fawn by breaking his neak, and killing my best cat. What should I do? How would I get rid of them. My cats are all scared to leave the garage now. I don't have any dogs to watch the barn or anything. What should I do???! HELP ME BEFORE IT GETS WORSE! ! ! ! Thanks!

i've had my dog for about 7 years already. yesterday, i wondered how much longer he would be able to live. does anyone know? he's a little overweight, but we're fixing that by giving him different dog food. he seems to be getting a little skinner. also, i have a pool in my backyard which is underground and i'm concerned that he might fall in and drown one day. its happened once or twice already, but my mom and brother were there to help him out.

I have a 2 year old Pit Bull that we've had since she was 5 weeks old. She's been socialized with people and other dogs since she was old enough to walk without falling over. When she was 6 months old, a dog at the dog park got in her face and started barking at her. He wouldn't let her do anything without barking at her and he even pinned her down and got in her face very loudly. Ever since then, but only with certain dogs, she makes the most horrible yelping sound like she's being beaten severely whenever these dogs come close; even just to say Hi! This past week, she actually snapped at another dog after the yelping happened. I'm afraid that if we don't do something about this behavior soon, it's going to turn aggressive towards other dogs. Any suggestions? We've tried just about everything we can think of. And she ruins the dog park experience for our other dogs because if she persists doing it while we're there, we leave and the other dogs don't get to play. HELP!!

I will be in a position to get a dog soon. I have a 2 year old, and he is very gentle with dogs. He's just a tad bit too exuberant with my sister in laws cats, but he is oh so gentle with my dad's old dog, he likes to sit beside it and talk to it.

I think a big sturdy dog would be good. I was considering an English bulldog, or a great dane maybe...
What breeds are good with kids?

Should I go for an adult or a puppy?

My betta eggs just hatched last night and for some reason the male isn't taking care of the fry. I read that he's supposed to help the babies whenever they fall to the ground and he'll help them back up but he's not doin' that. He's just sitting there... but, he's also constipated so is that why he's not taking care of them? Also, since he's not helping the babies back up, does that mean that they're gonna die? I already have quite a few that are just laying there at the bottom not doing anything. Are they dead? Please help!! Thanks

I have 8 beautiuful tanks from saltwater to freshwater. I have been asked by serveral people if I would set up and decorate a tank for their place. Because one is dealing with real plants, the price of the decoration, and labor, how would you charge someone and what would be a fair amount in your opinion?

I don't know what to tell them and it is a lot of work.

My female goldfish's eye was injured by the males in the tank a few months ago while they were attempting to spawn. It bulged for a day or so and then the swelling when down and the eye returned to normal. Except now when she turns in the light that same eye is very reflective, more so than the other. I'm aware goldfish can see in the dark and have eye shine but one out reflects the other. My question is...is she blind? Its not cloudy at all, and she's in perfect health. My water is fine ph 6.8 ammonia and nitrite are zero, and the nitrate is around 30 ppm. I change 75% of my water every 2 weeks. Had these 4 fish for over 3 years in the tank together. Anyone know exactly what's up with her eye? MM?

The more I read Q&A about fish the more I realize how little I know! Anyhoo next question...I've always used gravel in my fish tanks...thinking about it tho...sand might be a better option...
It would be harder for really big gunky stuff to get stuck in it...making the tank easier to clean...is this a correct assumption? It also would just look more natural...be easier to hold down decorations...at least in my mind this is how it all works out! I'm just attempting to verify my assumtions. As with all my questions...can anyone tell me the pros and cons of sand and gravel?
