Pets - 10 July 2007

I have a 40.000Gal Koi pond with 26 koi from 6" to 28" and a siberian sturgeon of 15". I have to feed the koi floating food at one end, then run and feed sinking pellets to the sturgeon. Has any got any suggestions on how i can get enough food for the sturgeon before the koi come along and have his food too?. And how large will it grow in a pond of this size?.
Many thanks

I need all the information you have on showing rabbits.

What should I bring?
What are entry forms and remark cards, where do I get them?
How do I know if a registrar is there?

Things like that

Why do bettas make bubble nests besides for breeding? Is he happy? Or upset? Is there an alternative reasoning for his bubble making besides to mate?

I have 3 adults and 4 baby rabbits in my backyard. The babies are about 3 months old and were in a large cage together. A week ago, one turned up dead. I thought it had eaten something bad and was glad that the others looked fine. The next day one more showed signs of sickness. It had diarrhea really bad (like excreeting wet rabbit food) and hardly moved when I first found it. A few hours in the house and it looked better, but died later that evening after messing itself again. I have been regularly checking the others and all seemed well, but 2 days ago another was dead in the cage. I have been feeding all my rabbits the same food. I have not been giving them strange treats. I am afraid they will all die off of this mysterious illeness if I don't figure out where it's coming from or how to prevent it. I don't want to wait for another one to turn up ill so I can take it to the vet. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I plan on getting atleast a 5 gallon tank, probably with one male, and am unsure which plants will best filter the environment. I've heard of options such as bamboo and lilies, but I am concerned about plant overgrowth and proper environmental interaction. In addition, I am a frequent traveler and am interested in how to feed a betta while I'm gone.

My kids want a fish. I have never had one so I need some help for what kind to get. I also don't want a huge tank with a filter just a small circle tank so a fish that needs all that stuff is not on my choice list. thanks

My sister has a whole tank of little goldfish, and we're going on vacation soon. She needs a way to feed them, so she was thinking that time-release food blocks would be the way to go.

Have any of you had any experience with these things? If so, what were your thoughts?

Our pet parrot was put to sleep a few months ago and I have always wanted a dog. We feared getting a dog with our very aggressive bird because we knew they wouldn't get along. I have come into a family friend that has a one year old boxer that is potty-trained and crate-trained and has a good temperment. They are getting rid of him because he likes to dig their "expensive" landscaping. I don't mind digging and he probably isn't getting enough attention or play-time. What do you think??

Today is day two bonding my rabbits. Yesterday, I took both of them out for car rides twice. I read that the stressful environment will cause them to not fight and cuddle close together. One of my rabbits, Coco (who I had gotten first), cuddled with my other rabbit, Panda Bear (who I had gotten a year after Coco), for a while. But then every once in a while she would go up behind him and bite his butt!

But I know that they will fight, because they have before, so I took a time out. So I took Coco to the side everytime she tried to sneak up behind Panda Bear and nip him, because if she does, then they will fight. But other than that, the two car rides went pretty well. So today we put them both in a neutral area, but I can't let them get near each other unless I pet one of them and close their eyes. I usually pet Coco and close her eyes, so she won't see Panda Bear when he wants to sniff her, or else she will lunge for him!

I accidentally left a small baggie of frozen bloodworms out last night after feeding my bettas and they thawed. They were still cold so I put them in the fridge. I went and bought some more today, but i was wondering how long can thawed bloodworms last if kept cold in the fridge? Just wondering.

I know that pale gums are a sign of illness, but he has no other problems that I've noticed.. his breath is not great, but it's not bad either.. He has not acted different in any way.. I'm going to the vet tomorrow anyway.. (parvo shot).. so, I'll ask her.. but curious to know if anyone has any ideas..

He eats the same amount at the same time every day, he has not gained or lost any weight, and he is very active.. Live with two other dogs who's gums are normal..

I'm not panicking, nor am I trying to save money by asking on here.. just curious to see what people will say..

I decided on getting a bunny as a pet but then someone told me that his bunny didn't love him. This other guy told him that bunnies aren't made to show affection and that if you want a dog that will truly love you and be loyal then you should go for a dog. So do bunnies not love you? Do they now show any affection? Please help Most detailed answer gets best answer

I have 2 bettas and my male has already started making his bubble nest. I noticed she is much bigger and was wondering when I might expect for the spawning to begin so I can make sure I can get her away from him after all of this happens. She has been getting bigger for approximately a month now. I'm new to bettas and not quite sure what all is to take place with this event.

Thanks for your help!
