I just got some ferrets that someone was giving away because they were moving & couldn't keep them. I went 2 pick them up, put them in the van with their penthouse cage. I saw that they were alive & pretty, said thanks exchanged info & left. When I got home & took them out they smelled horrible (even more than any ferret or the ferret I currently owned) like they had not had a bath. After checking them they were filled with flees, I bathed them dissinfected their cage & waged all their beddings. I can't believe someone would treat them that way. Their hair was matted & they were scratching like crazy even had bald patches. Well, I plan on taking them to the vet 2morrow 4 a check-up but I was wondering..my ferret is young, I don't know how old these are. Is there some way 2 tell. Their teeth are pretty long longer than any other 1-3 yr old ferrets I've had. It's the saddest thing, they fell asleep right after their bath. Just wonderin the age 2 know care & handling better etc. Thanks :)

my cat has been missing for 5 days now. My mother found a cat along side the road that she thought was it, but she said it was decomposing. alot of the skin was gone and the fur was falling off, and there were maggots. Today she showed me some of the fur when I got home, and it didn't look like my cats fur, too gray. I was wondering if it was possible for it to decay that quickly. It would have been about 3.5 days after it went missing.

I know some people just leave them in the tank with the adults, but I was researching and I found this:

Should I do as they say or just leave them in the tank they came from? Which way will provide a better survival rate?

We currently have a 10 gallon tank and are moving the fish up to a 45 gallon hexagonal tank and would like to put a few more fish in the tank. All four of these fish are between 4-6 inches long.

i had 4 platies and 2 mollies in a 10 gallon tank. all the platies died and the 2 mollies have been acting weird. i thought they were both males but now im not so sure!! the one white mollie keeps laying the the gravel under a bridge that i have in the tank. this bridge has a blue plant in front of it and the other mollie just sits outside this bridge. they both come to eat but ALWAYS stay together when the one decides to actually swim around. when i cleaned the gravel (or at least started to) i found a tiny tiny tiny little fish that came out from under the plant. so i stopped what i was doing and let it be. did my mollie give birth at sometime? and if so, why is she staying under that bridge and near wheere the baby(ies) are? i thought they eat their young? please help!!

I was thinking about getting Java Moss, Java Fern, Cabomba, Banana Plant, Hornwort, Pennywort, and Egeria najas.

Any other recommendations? Will the snails eat some of these? I know that Java Moss and Hornwort are generally safe.

Any planting information on them, or how they grow, and whta conditions I need to give them.

Mystery, Ramhorn, Malaysian or Trapdoor snails? I am a breeder and have all 4 on hand. I was thinking the Apple will be better since I can always see them and I can take out and keep the eggs they produce. Along wit the Malaysian snails to keep the gravel turned for the plants.

Help! I keep getting bitten by fleas, whereas my husband and son haven't had any. Also, one cat is attracting the fleas and another isn't. Why?

I don't know if this is normal but, my guinea pig likes to take a piece of bedding (usually a larger piece) and smacks it against the bars. Is this just his way of curing boredom or searching for attention? He's making a larger mess than usual. I don't mind but he gets pieces stuck in the cage bars and makes a huge mess.

i broke my leg 8wks ago. the cast is off but i can't put any weight on it yet. i have had my rat terrier for 5yrs now and he has never tried to hump my leg before. he has allways walked behind us when we are moving from room to room. i walk with my left leg and my right leg is bent at the knee. all of a sudden a few days ago i was reaching for something and arty (my dog) licked my leg several times than just starting humping away. of course i moved my leg away and said no no no. ever since than he follows me kissing ( licking) my leg and gently pawing the back of my leg and than there he goes, right back on my leg. has this happened to anyone before. arty has never done this in the whole 5yrs i have had him. all i can say is arty thinks my broke leg is sexy.

My boyfriend and I recently bought a 5 gallon hexagon tank with a filter along with 6 fresh water tropical fish. If someone could answer these questions in number order to make it simple for us to read, that would be appreciated!

1.) Is a 5 gallon tank big enough for 6 fish? They're not going to get really big and they seem to have plenty of room.

2.) How often should we clean the tank even though it has a filter?

3.) How often should we feed them? Right now we're feeding twice a day, usually 12 or more hours apart.

4.) Lastly, is the water supposed to be a little cloudy?

Thank you! = )

I bought a 10 gallon Aquarium Kit and some additional equipments yesterday from Petco yesterday. (I would have bought a bigger tank, but my dorm doesn't allow any tank over10 gallon)

Right now, I have the following:
-10 gallon tank, Hood with light, Thermometer, 50 Watt Heater, Air pump set, Whisper 10 Power Filter (90 gph), 10 lb of gravel, Fish net

I never own an Aquarium in the past, but I have read many guides before I set up the one I bought yesterday. However, I still have some questions.

1) I am wondering whether my setup is ok or not. Also, I want to know what other equipment do I need to buy. (Note: I have no condition, or tester etc yet. The stuffs that I listed above are all the stuffs I got.)

2) I don't have any plant or other decorations in the tank right now, but I am planning to buy some when I go to buy the fish next Monday. Can I put the fish into the tank right after I put those plant or decoration in?

3) How much air should I let into the tank?

My 6 months old cocker spaniel has recently picked up to bark at the door whenever she likes - it could be noise from tv, or i move my chair, etc.

I usually ask her to come to me when she runs to the door, or if i am closer to her I would about to stop here before she reached the door. I also tried putting her on a leash at home so i can correct her when she does that - but she will chew on the leash if i don that.

So any other suggestions or tips for me lover owners? thanks!
