Pets - 8 July 2007

I have tried to feed him the turtle pellets that I bought for him but he won't eat them even when I break them up very small. I know that he is a carnivore as a baby and will eat shrimp but I want to know if dried shrimp (broken up of course since he is so small) is okay to feed him.

Ok, so I've gotten the house breaking down on my puppy... however, Our other dog, who is 9 months, has now decided he don't want to go outside, and is spraying things, and peeing inside... No clue what to do, we keep cleaning it, telling him no, taking him outside, rubbing his nose in it... and nothing seems to work...

We do not crate train our dogs, never had, so please do not tell me to try that, when I first got this puppy we tried, it didn't work, and we didn't like it... So that option is totally out... So other then that, what are our options?

None of our other dogs have ever had this problem... Why I'm asking for help... :(

Recently I've notice that my dog has been a bit temperamental with my baby. One time in the high chair my son was reaching toward the dog and she snapped at him. He pulled his had away. I didn't see what happened, but heard it. On another day my son was laying with me in the chair and leaned over to the dog that was laying on the floor and the dog growled under her breath. My son is about to turn a year old and is starting to really move around the house (crawling). Today, as the baby crawled by the dog, she barked and snapped at him. I got so scared and my husband smacked the dog. Is there anything I can do to make this work. I've had this dog (Lab/Shepard/greyhound mix) for almost 10 years. She has been a great dog, but has seemed more aggressive toward other dogs since my husband came into my life. What can I do to make the dog more accepting of the baby. I don't want to get rid of the dog, but I'm afraid for my baby.

I have a very healthy tank and a few months ago, added two Bolivian Rams. One is not as colorful as the other, but has the same basic markings. It has recently been sitting at the botom of the tank and swimming very little.
Any ideas why? It has a small pouch underneath, but I would think not large enough to be pregnant, could I be wrong?

I just bought a red tiger oscar that's an inch and a half. I was wondering how long people recommend that I can keep him in a 10 gallon. I have a 50 gallon that he/she will eventually move into. At what point in time will it cause it harm/stunted growth? It's the only fish in the tank. I briefly asked a vet and they said it perfectly fine to have it in a 10 gallon with water change; right food; good filtration, etc. But forgot to ask at want point should it be moved to a larger tank. Thanks for your help.

My bf found 3 baby sparrows that had been sitting outside his work for 3 days before bringing them home. They have their feathers, flying a little (but not very well) and their eyes are well open and they chirp.
At the moment, he is feeding them a mixture of mealworms and water and is feeding them through a syringe 3 times a day.

Can anyone please give advice as to how much, how often these guys should be fed? Is there anything else that they should have (ie. bowl of water for bathing, drinking, food - if so, what sort of food?)

ANY advice would be awesome. Thanks in advance :)

My Lab is 1 yr & 9 months old. This 4th of July she heard some loud fireworks outside of our cabin, and trembled like a leaf, hiding in the corner for hours. She was scared last year for a few hours too, but now it is days later, and she continues to act this way when hearing any noise that resembles fireworks. Tonight I snapped my gum a few times, and then realized she was under my desk cowering. She refuses to be near my girlfriend and me now, and is hiding under the kitchen table while sadly trembling... What can I do to get her used to these types of noises?

Thanks

my dog walks all around the backyard no problem, i even went out with her planty of times without the leash and she would walk right next to me or wait for me if he walked too fast or catch up with if she got far behind, but all of the sudden she would just want to run freely and wont listen to my calls, runs away when i call her. I now tried to walk her on a leash but its like shes got some kind of trauma with leashes, she wont walk AT ALL, she looks terrified and lays, i pet her and talk to her sweetly but nothing, i tried to barely push her or pull just a bit, but she just WONT walk AT ALL, i need her to walk her out side cause if she poops in the yard my mom wont let me have her, any help?

PS: i read the other questions bout this, but all the answers say "if she walks a little bit give her a treat" but she wont walk at all, i pet her nicely but no luck.

Hi I have a pet red tail boa and he's been acting strange the past couple of days. He won't eat but that may be because he's int he shedding process. Well I just now casually looked over at his cage and noticed his head was under the water and I freaked out. I opened his caged and touched him and he started moving around. I pulled his head out of the water and he was breathing fine and acting normal. I just don't understand why his head would be underwater in the firt place and about how long can he be underwater before I should get worried? HELP!
