i just set up my 33 gallon aquarium about 2 days ago. and i ran a water test and test the same as my 55 gallon tank that has been set up for like 7 months now. so i put in my convict cichlid pair into the newly established aquarium, and now they're doing fine with their 200ish babies. so is my 33 gallon aquarium cycled now? the water is crystal clear just like my 55 gallon. the convict cichlids have been in the tank for 2 days now, and they're healthier than ever.

I just found out recently that my 1 year old hound/beagle mix has pretty severe hip dysplasia in both hips and he is developing arthritis already. He has a consultation with a surgeon comeing up, but I was wondering if anyone can give their personal experiences after the surgery? Like what to expect, best types of physical therapy etc. He is not a big dog, he is only 43 pounds and he is full grown. He is very active so he does not have any weight problems.

I had the option of leasing this one horse. I test rided him yesterday and I turned it down but now I'm having second thoughts. They said if I changed my mind to give them a call. Here's why I turned them down.
a) the horse was pretty spooky, it just wanted to go back in the barn and hide in the corner of his stall.
b) the facility wasn't the greatest, it was just 2 barns and a little round pen and little feild.
c) the owner of the place scares me. yesterday she came out in a mumu and started yelling and cussing at the owner of the horse.

here's why i'm having second thoughts:
a) it's a really good deal, only $80 a month (cuz i would be co-leasing with some1 else)
b) the horse was previously abused so its understandable that he may take some time to get used to me.
c) it would be a good experiance to work with a horse that isn't very solid.

But anyways my dad said it was totally up to me but yesterday he said he was relieved when I said I didn't want to lease him.

I would like to get a hedgehog but I don't know alot about them and would like some general information on them, I also have afew questions:
1. How big of a cage do they need to be kept in?
2. What should I feed it? (I don't like insects so if that is what they eat is there some other food that is good for there diet)
3. Do they get very loyal to people, like if I put him down next to me would he stay near me or on my lap?
4. How easy are they to care for?
5. Do they need any sort of regulat grooming like clipped nails and if so how often?
Any other information is greatly apretiated thank you to anyone who responds!

they stayed with us for two months. They night flighted along with some tools and a ring of mine and I woke up to find that she had left her pit bull choke chained to our garage door. Sweet, huh? We have two dogs already, not to mention two small children. The dog is sweet and all, but my m-i-l left her the wrong way. Does anyone know of a pit bull rescue or sanctuary? Or even a nonfighting breeder that would want her? Like I said, she's got a good disposition despite how she was treated, but still upsets the balance. Thanks in advance..

I'm running out of ideas, really. My dog, Lady, Half chow, spits, and whatever else she might be.

She WILL get out, I can't always be there to keep her inside, she always finds a way out. Trust me, thats not a part of the question. It's how to get her in.

So, I'm asking, how can I get her in? She pretty much stays ten feet away from me at all times when she gets out. I can't get near her, and neither can my family or friends can't even get close. Dog treats don't work. Cornering doesn't work, I can't chase after her. I've tired I chase her, then turn around and she'll chase me to run back inside. Drove up in the car, open the door and she'd hop in.

She's figured it all out, it's getting harder and harder each time.
We just let her run around for awhile and she'll come in a hour or so, but now when she comes back, she'll sit in our font yard and we can't get her INSIDE. Our neighbors have two small children. She's not a mean dog, but has a VERY scary bark. I can't let this continue.

I will be picking up my Papillon puppy next week. He will be 8 weeks old. I'm a little worried about his ears. I have papers which state that he's a purebred, and I know that doesn't mean much but... he's also registered with the AKC. I feel like his ears should be a little bigger than they are. His nose looks a bit wide as well (in the pics in the link don't mistake the white near his nose for his nose). Is this normal and will his ears grow as he gets older? He's pretty fuzzy which I like and he's very cute with good markings. His ears are really my only concern. He's only going to be a family pet but I want people to recognize him as a papillon. I already paid for him becuase the pictures of him that are really little look very normal. The older picture is him at almost 7 week. (maybe 6 weeks and 5 days.) I still want him just want to know if his ears are normal! Thanks for you help.

My dog had puppies 3 months ago and it looks like she is in heat. I am not sure if I can breed her right now or not. Some people tell me that you have to wait 6 months, but some say "the next time she goes in heat" so please let me know this as soon as possible.

My pomeranian is a little over a year old and she still isn't house trained. I've been trying forever to try and train her. I take her outside often and she goes, but she still will go inside. I put up her food and water, and only feed her once a day and give her water when ever she comes back from being inside. When she goes inside i scold her and she knows that she's not sopposed to do it inside, yet she goes inside anyway. I just don't know what to do anymore.

Our petco here quit carrying sugar glider food. So I have have no where I can buy it now. (we live in Montana and there is nothing out here) Any ideas of a food I can buy her? Ferrett food?? Guinee pig foood? Rabbit food? I give her fresh fruits and veggies and I give her baby food, yogurt and eggs and other treats like that. And I have a bag of monkey biscutes I give her. But I need actual glider food too.

While I was sleeping, my 8 months old cat brough me in bed her weakest 1 day old kitten.
She usually likes sleeping in my bed. Is it because she wanted to be with me but had to bring her weakest kitten or she felt I should help the kitten??? She left the 2 other kittens alone in the box. I was able to reunite them all and moved the box on my bed so she felt secure close to me...
Any ideas why she acted this way?

Also, later on the night I woke up to another kitten crying. She had brought it under my bed. She stayed beside the kitten but it seemed like she did not know what to do. I again was able to reunite them all but I don't understand her behaviour.

I know we better not touch the young kittens but she does not give me a choice. Has this ever happen to any of you? Why do you think my cat is acting this way?

Note: They are 1 day old and she had gave birth to 5 kittens but 2 dead ones =(
