Need Help Desperately!
I have 2 male rats. Brothers, they are aproximately 5 months old and are both fab! HOWEVER. . one of them (Frankie-Fuzz) wees everytime you get him out of the cage.
If he touches your skin - he wees.
If he touches plastic - he wees.
He is not timid therefore he is not weeing from fear.
The other rat (Sir Rufus)does not do this and is a joy to handle...It would be nice to handle Frankie but it is a major turn off when you keep getting wee'd on!
HELP!!!!
What can i do to stop this...anyone know "Why" he does this OR "How" to make it stop??
Cheers Rat Fanzzz ;-)

I have a male cat and I got him fixed when he was six months he is one year old in October. I just want to know if it was done properly as he still has the tendency to... abuse things (pretty much just my arm or my favourite scarf, lol) also he is still a feisty little character and the Vet said he would calm down a bit after the op but I think its just because he is an agro little kitten and I am fine with that.

He still has his fuzzy little bumblebees so I assume he had a vasectomy or such. He doesnt do other things like I have heard male cats do like squirting everywhere to mark his place.

Hahaha I realise how ridiculous this question is but I would just like to know. Because he is an inside cat and I heard that being fixed will make them less want to run away and of course if he does he wont be getting a bunch of nasty diseases.

I have two flowerhorns and was thinking about adding another fish with it. Since it is a very agressive fish, im not sure what to put with it.

When construction on my basement is finished my dad and I really want to get a saltwater tank. We have kept tropical fish and goldfish successfuly and we really want to get started. What will we need what are some easy fish to take care of and what are some good books? What starter tank size would you recomend. We do not want to keep chilichids and are looking at tangs and clownfish as two we really like.
Thanks!

I have 2 puppies that are 8 weeks old. I picked up a couple of flea collars, but have not yet put them on my puppies. Does anyone know if it would be dangerous and hurt one of my puppies if the other one chewed on each other's flea collar?

Okay, case one:

She's short-hair, old and boney. She's been a mostly-outdoor cat for a long time. The past couple of months, she's been throwing up about once every two weeks in the house. Let me say again, she old, old. I don't know if she's sick or just aging. My aunt told me that throwing up is one of the signs that they're going to die, but it has been months. I don't know what's going on.

Case Two:

She's only a few years old and short-hair as well. Recently, like in the past few days, she's been making this really weird noise. It's like a cross between coughing and sneezing. When she does it, she puts her head down like she wants to throw up and I can see her stomach contract. I don't think it's just a hairball, but I could be wrong. It's just that I've never ever seen her do that before, and if it's natural for cats, why is she just starting now?

What is going on here?

ok well so far she has had 2 puppies and about 30 min or less in between every puppy.. is this normal or not? she has already had puppies and the last time she had puppies, she had 11. The mom is a heeler. Does that have to do with how many puppies she has? And any other information would be great.. =]

I wondered how my cat got out of the house when I was sure I had left him in. Then I saw him climbing up the shelves above the toilet up to a small window, which he jumped out after pushing out the screen. He made his own cat door!
