They think they are going to be the main caretakers but they are not! They hate the smell. I've told them I will do everything for it. Take it on walks, feed it , clean up after it, ect.... They will not listen! Please help?

I have a freshwater tank with a algae eater and just recently these little bugs are all over the inside of the tank. The only thing that is different is I have been putting algae discs for the algae eater. How do I remove or get reed of this bugs?

Some one told me that his long hair will help him stay cooler but I think if we shave him it would help more. Any suggestions?

I was at my highschool farm yesterday and some man just left this kitten there. I think it is at the most 5 weeks old and I've had tons of litters of kittens and know taht they aren't supposed to be away from their mother until around 8 weeks. She has trouble eating regular hard kitten food, so should I just feed her the wet food, or should I get some sort of milk replacer?

I got them a week ago and noticed gravid spots a day later. I didn't look to see if the spots were there when I got them, but they've been getting bigger and bigger. I plan to use the greenery method for protecting the babies rather than a livebearer trap because I just don't know.

its a medium sized dog, and it's teeth are extremely clean ad its young, not very young but not an adult maybe just a grown up big puppy if that makes sense.it cant go inside, and it seems really clean like it has been taken care of, it has a flee color on it too. but i think i might end up taking care of it, it is well behaved and seems very young. i dont want to take it to the vet yet, but if i have some flea and heartworm medicine should i go ahead and give it to the dog? or would i have to take it to the vet first? im not sure if my parents would approve of keeping it, because vet visits do cost alot. but i feel for this animal because i love all animals and i cant just ignore it. please provide me with good reasonable answers, thank you. :]

I have two goldfish who have been alive for 3 years at least and just keep growing. They were originally bought as feeder goldfish for some larger fish, but they turned on the other fish and are the only ones left.

I love them, and have named them and have seperated them to a new tank, but I never really liked gold fish and woudl like to know how long they will live.

I got my puppy, Squishy, several weeks ago. She's my first dog. She only seems to bite me and not friends and strangers. She licks everyone else, even people she's never met. She never seems very happy to see me, and she chews on my hands and clothing. I say "no" firmly and give her a toy to chew on, but she doesn't seem to respect me very much. Does she not like me? Why would she be so loving with other people and not me? Any tips?

I really want a pet gardener snake (garter snake) because they are the only snakes you don't have to feed mice.
The only problem is that I live in Washington and since they are native here the pet stores won't sell them.
So can anyone tell of a store where I can order a gardener snake from?

I have a three year old lad/border collie mix that was obviously abused before I got her. The other day, she wondered in to my bathroom. I forgot to close the top lid, and she began drinking out of the blue that I had just treated with blue chemicals. I walk into the bathroom, snap my fingers and point to the door. I uttered no other sound nor did I make any other movement, just snapped and pointed. She hunkered down, belly to floor, tail so far between her legs, the tip was actually positioned directly under her snout. As soon as she got to the doorway, she rose up just a little, and scurried into the living room. I closed the door to the bathroom, went into the kitchen and grabbed a soda, then walked into the living room. Upon seeing me, she immediately began to whimper. I said "Easy girl, it's okay", and went over to her. The closer I got, the louder the whimpering became, then she started to urniate and snap at me. All the while, I spoke softly and moved slowly, to no avail.

I am currently cycling my 1 and a half gallon aquarium. When I buy two african dwarf frogs and put them in the tank, instead of going out and buying a possibly expensive gravel vaccum, can I just use a turkey baster and suck out all the junk on the gravel?

She has been with us 6 months and we have her in a 2.5 gallon glass tank with a matching one that we switch her out in when we need to clean the other. She has a nice filter and very small heater. 2 fizzy stones 2 plastic plants and sleeps at night on a leaf like a bed.. Last night she was sleeping in the corner with her head near the surface gasping. I tried to get her attention and she didn't respond. Today she is sick, she is acting like she is blind or just concentrating on the pain so much she can't see. Her actual gills are dark red and she seems bloated. Her scales are sticking out somewhat, not like the really bad dropsy pics. She looks bad though, too young to be dying. So I went out and got salt, Melafix, Maracyn 2 powder. I treated water for ammonia and well.... I just want to know what else I can do. She is not dying on my watch, not this young in a clean tank. Is it possible I fed her too much? Or she is injured? Tank is too clean for her to die. We are upset andconfused

I have a piggy that bites me when I put my hand in his cage. Ive had him for about 3 months, and he used to let me pick him up no problem, but now he bites me when i lift him and try to put him on my shirt. Why has he started biting when he never did to begin with? How do I tame? he squeeks very loud and very often and hops up and down in quick little jumps. Is he ok?

I was cleaning out my filter and I guess a few very tiny slivers of the carbon media got through the tube and embedded themselves down into my gravel that I cannot get out. They are very tiny and hard to catch without tearing apart the aquarium and decorations. Is this harmful to the fish?
