I have 2 kittens who are sisters and we got them at the same time from someone giving them away. However, one of them chews on a stuffed animal I have and at the same time like claws it with her paws (like she's fluffing it or something). Was she taken from her mother too soon? We've had them since around February, so it's been awhile since they've been with their mom and only our one kitten does that. I was just wondering why and if there is anything we can do for her to make her stop? Thanks!

My husband and I rescued two baby kittens a few months ago. They were so cute and tiny. With much loving care and devotion (I'm talking 3 am bottle-feedings) they've grown into very healthy rubunctious four month old boys. The problem is we live in a studio apartment. We don't mind sharing our space with "our babies" however I am beginning to worry that they may not have enough space to grow into. Is there an amount of space that two cats need? Will they be able to live comfortably in our studio? I sure hope so. I have grown so attached to them. I couldn't bear to let them go. They are indoor cats only so far.

Leave it to my husband to pick a female black mystery snail to put into our 20 gallon with our male apple snail. He saw the first egg sack and decided he wanted to let them hatch and have little baby snails. Well then there was another and another and I tried to remove as many egg sacks as I saw but I'm sure some were hidden from my view. Anyhow, now we are overrun with lots of snails. While they are cute there are just way too many! I asked one of our local fish stores if they'd take them off our hands & they said they only buy their snails from "certified snail breeders". Any thoughts, ideas?

I am hoping a Veterinarian may see this and know the answer. FIP is short for Feline Infectious Peritonitis and it is a virus. I have found a wonderful cat at a shelter that I would like to adopt but I do not know if there is any risk of it catching this disease. My cat who died has not been in the house since July 9th. Does anyone out there know anything about this? Thank you for your help.

Do Mollie fish that you keep in the fish tank eat the small fish they have? Me and my friend are arguing about it so a reliable source would be nice

I have two 75 gallon tanks, one with oscars and a black ghost knife and another with angels and assorted tetras. The past few weeks I've noticed hundreds of these worms in both tanks. They are in the gravel and on the underside of the hood. Both tanks have been well established for over 3 years and no new stock has been added for over 1 year. I've tried to remove excess food by siphoning the gravel once a day for a week and cleaning the entire filter system. Nothing seems to get rid of them. All the water parameters are good. They don't seem to cause any harm to the fish but are an eyesore. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'd resort to chemical warfare as a last ditch effort but am not too sure what the worms are and don't want to harm my fish. See the links below for pictures.

My little dog has developed a growth. It is just smaller then a dime and is pinkish red in color. It did seem it was growing but seems to have stopped. is this something to be really worried about or is it something that will go away? Please help. I don't have the money for a vet BUT if it is something that could be life threating to him I want to do what I can to protect him.

Since cats rely upon their tails so much to communicate their emotions and intentions,would a tailess or bobtailed cat be somewhat handicapped? I was wondering because I adopted a manx-type cat about three months ago,and the three cats that I already owned seem to be taking much longer to accept him than they did each other. He always approaches them in a friendly manner and isn't a bit pushy or aggressive,but they all reguard him with great suspicion and behave like they think he's really odd. Could it be that they can't read his body language as well?

so, i bought some of this from the pet store. It's in the fish section. It's kinda white and orange rock. It think it's a mix of limestone and sandstone - but I'm not sure. Anyway- could this cloud my tank? I remember when I got it I rinsed it well but it seemed sort of "powdery". Just wondering if it's ok for tank use.

I was given an aquarium a few weeks ago and in the past 4 days I have lost an angel and a butterfly fish, there were no signs of disease on either and both seemed active and were feeding previously. There is a slight greasy film on the surface of the water so I am wondering whether it might be a good idea to change the water. it is filtered and is at 25degrees, how do I go about changing it? do I need to just change it a half at a time? shall I take the fish out first and if I do how do I get the fresh water up to temp before I put them back in? the heater takes bloody ages to get it up to 25.
Help!!! I haven't had much dealings with fishies!!

Whats the difference between Chemical and Bio-logical filtration and what do you need to tackle both these?

Will an external filter, living rock and a good skimmer sort this out??
