Pets - 30 July 2007

Not the big, wild rats. But pet rats. They are so cute and affectionate. And I was afraid of the tail until I got one and its just like a cats tail but with hardly any hair (the hair is clear) So, what are you, or why do you think other people, are repulsed by rats??

Thanks :D

I will take my puppy out many times a day...sometimes she will pee outside. But most of the time I will take her out and she thinks its play time. We will go back in and she will use the bathroom as soon as we are back in the house. Now she has it in her head that going out is play time...which is fine sometimes, because it is, but she needs to use the bathroom outside also...any suggestions?

I have a 2 and a half year old male cat (almost 3) named Ollie and I just got a new male kitten named Connor he's 11 weeks old. I know its normal for the older cat to clean the kitten, which Ollie is doing. But my question is is it normal for an older cat to bite the younger cat? Ollie has only done this once to Connor and it was in the neck area. He's gotten past the stage of hissing at Connor whenever he sniffs him. But why did he bite him? Is he trying to assert dominance?

I have two pot-bellied mollies (one black, one dalmation) and the dalmation likes to eat the plants. Could it be because the black one is more outgoing and territorial and often pushes the dal. away from the food?

Should i just let them eat the plant and replace it as necesary? Should i attempt to keep the dal fed by helping it get food over the black one? What can i do?

He has a very healthy appitite until his rumaging causes his discomfort and then he wont eat anything which results in a costly trip to the vets.

Ok, about 2 months ago, i posted about a silver molly that i was almost positive of it being pregnant. Well, it still has not had babies. And i have seen her mate with the other male at least 2 times. When will she have babies!??!?!?!?!?!

And , I have a sucker fish, but he is not helping at all. My tank is a 10g, with 7 fish, and the algue is getting worse and worse. I don't want to clean the cage, because i have no other tanks to put the fish in, and i don't want to buy any. How can i get rid of the algue easy, and with out having to take out all the fish, and rocks, and plants, and pots?

I would like to get one for work, but worry about leaving it over the weekend. Does anyone know if this would be okay as long as I feed it regularly during the week?

I have an algae eater in my tank right now but it starting to get too big. I'm thinking of giving it to my local pet store but I'm not sure if I should get a small one in its place.
I also have a few guppies and a beta in my tank.

i love my dog because he is like a brother to me. he is always there when i need a shoulder to cry on. he always protects me. he really brought me out of my shell. before i got him i was shy. i didnt have friends. now i am a social butter fly and i have a lot of friends. in order to take care of him properly i had to talk to people like the vet and just random people that asked about him. and it helps that he is a beautiful dog. here is a pic of him. if u could provide one that would be awesome.

they definitely do not have it? I thought I read somewhere that sometimes it will show up negative but then later on change?- This confused me because I thought once it shows negative it means they don't have it at all. Also, do the feline vaccines for this prevent a cat from getting it (especially from other cats)? Thanks! And Thank you to everyone who answered my similar question, which I forgot to include this question into!

Hi fish enthusiasts. I have had two Angel Fish in a community tank for about two years now, among guramis and tetras. They are healthy and have grown to full size. Recently, however, the slightly bigger one has started bullying the other. They've never been aggressive with each other before, but now one is totally dominating the other, and even nips. Is this normal? Some kind of social statement? A kinky love ritual? Will he fight till the other dies? I don't know a lot about Angels, so any insight would be appreciated. Thanks, in advance.
