Our neighbour caught these snotty kids in our garden saying "Oooo, look there's a rabbit." And the same kids have already got into the back of two of my other friends gardens and stole their bikes. So who knows what they would do to my rabbit Ozzy?

At the time my molly was very healthy, i started noticing a tiny area of shiny aquarish blue colour on its tail, it looked very pretty, its like how some fishes scales shine.
I'm not so sure if it is a black molly or sailfin, coz i think i got it when it was quite young that i didn't notice a big sailfin, but now asit is maturing ive noticed hes got more fatter and bigger fins and thats when i thought, maybe its a sailfin molly?!
no wonder whenever i searched up black mollys it always came up with lyretail mollys, when my molly didn't have a lyretail. (i think thats how u spell it, forgive me for my bad spelling =D )
So would its breed of molly effect if it changes colour as it matures? It is eating well and is very active and healthy.
And it has been getting a yellowish gold rim on its sailfin.
(its not the disease that makes it go goldy and rusty)

I am very curious hmm... =]

I have 3 goldfish and have noticed the past few days that every once and a while they will just start swimming out of control and then swim to the bottom of the tank and rub their sides on the rocks almost as if they are scratching themselves. I have looked them over and do not see anything on their scales and was wondering if any of you had any ideas as to what it might be. Thank you for you time.

My father will not allow me to keep pet rats because he believes that if they eat meat then they will kill us. I don't believe this is true. Does anyone have some real evidence that this is true/not true?

My horse needs a high fat diet -I add vegetable oil to his feeds but during the summer he is turned out 24/7 and his feed consists basically of carrots, biotin and garlic - if I add the usual amount of oil to this it looks like soup and he won't eat it. As a result he has decreased mobility during summer. Can't go on to concentrated feeds as he is a "good doer" and prone to weight gain ( which again doesn't help his mobility issues - I'm fighting to keep weight off him ) Any ideas ?

My dog is almost 4 years old. She was an outside dog for about a year when she was 2. So she has now been an inside dog for almost 2 years since then and now she thinks she is human! I am tired of all the dog hair and here lately like I mentioned in my earlier question, she has been refusing to potty out side and she is ruining my rugs! So Is it wrong to make her an outside dog now? I have also limted her to only dry food so could she also be mad because of her diet change?

About a month ago my 4 month old puppy had parvo. She had to stay at the vet for 5 days hooked up to an IV until she was better. Once I brought her back she seemed fine (was eating and drinking, not throwing up, ect). But ever since she came back she seems to always be tired and sleeping a lot. She still has her little spurts of energy (she's a mini pinscher so normally she has LOTS of energy), but it seems like now all she ever wants to do is sleep most of the time. I went for a post check up at the vet and told them that she is sleepy all the time but they said she is fine and not to worry about it as long as she is still eating and drinking normally which she is. So....I've heard somewhere that after puppies get parvo they never fully recover 100%. Is this true? Should I just get used to her being a lazy dog now?

My larger female opaline gourami has been looking ackwardly chubby as of late. I bought her from the pet store about a week ago and when i purchased her she did seem 'fat'. The other (female i'm pretty sure) opaline gourami does not have this symptom, and i'm speculating that she may be pregnant. I have a place for her to go and food prepared as well. I have no male in my tank.

1. If she is pregnant and i seperate her will she lay the eggs without a nest made by a male? How would i care for the eggs??

2. If yes will the eggs survive in my care?

3. If the eggs survive and hatch, will the babies be bothered by other babies (as i have a red wag platy preparing for birth in the same seperate area)?

4. How do i tell when a female gourami is pregnant?

5. When do they spawn?

she wandered into our life on a -20 degree day in January. As a result, her ears, one lip, the tip of her nose and the tip of her tail suffered from frostbite. She has always chased her tail, and when she catches it she growls and hisses at it, and she draws blood. Once, she gave herself an abcess. I have talked to the vet about it, and I think it is like some phantom limb thing going on. We got her a playmate, and this seems to decrease the behavior. Any other suggestions?

My lovebird has little tiny spiky feathers around his head (less than ten), you cant see them but you can feel them underneath the softer feathers. Whenever I touch them my bird winces and pulls back as if to be in pain. He is about 6 months old. What is it and why is it hurting him?

She had some fleas, and someone suggested I do that.
I got way too much soap on her and could not wash it off,
she would not let me give her a bath. It's been three days
now, and she is so matted and looks terrible. She used to come in the house all the time...now only once a day to eat..
and out she goes. And she is not drinking her water from her
cup. Think she is too scared now. She is 12 years old.....
was always so clean, healthy, and fun.
Kindly help me.

My son has a goldfish that has pillow like sacks around his eyes. We bought him like that. He is so cute.
One day one of his pillows popped. Next day it inflated again.
The following day he started to swim upside down.
Why is he/she doing this?
He/she is swimming fine now.
What are in the pillows around his eyes?

I know this has been asked alot, but I hope someone can clarify this for me.
I'm going to try to add 2 tablespoon per 10 gallon. I know salt doesn't evaporate, so when I do partial water changes, how do I know the correct amount of salt to add for the salt loss? (Use a hydrometer? I'm going to mix the salt with de-chlorinated water before adding it into the tank, but how slowly am I supposed to add the salted water? (Drops, spoonfuls, cupfuls?) And finally, is adding salt to my tank a huge maintenance? School and work and the alike. Thanks!
