Okay so i'm thinking of buying an Iguana.
I have a wardrobe which am in the process of turning into a home for him/her. Obviously fitted with the correct equiptment. UVB Strip light. Basking Bulb. Tree's, Branches, Etc.
Thing is so many people have negative things to say about these animals.

; 'Oh they are so aggressive & strong'
; 'They require SO much'
; 'They grow so massive'
; 'They have teeth & they whip you'

Okay they grow big, i've seen a fully grown adult face on. But obviously in the pet shop behind glass. So i've seen the size they are capable of growing & i feel i could accomodate that.
They can be aggressive? Well i would get mine from a baby, prefable female as i have been informed males can be more aggressive exspecially with a female owner. Is this true?
& to beat the aggressive factor i would reguraly hold & pet him/her so that she will become used to me, & therfore become 'Tame'.

Can anyone who has experiance with Iguana's give me some advice please

I have recently aquired a 3 year old, intact male cat. He is used to being an outdoor cat, but I would like to bring him inside. When I tried though, he began spraying all over my house. My neighbor says that someone told him, neutering a 3 year old cat is too late, and he would just keep spraying anyway. I would like to know if this is true.

I've tried a harness but that still doesnt seem to work. I do not intend to hurt my dog of course, i only want to walk it the right way.

I'll make a list lol.

-How much Timothy Hay should I be giving her? Should there always be some in her cage? Or do I give like a handful a day to her?

-How much fruits/veggies does she need? I've been putting a few things in there once a day. Is that right?

-Can a guinea pig get too much Vitamin C? We have Vitamin C drops in her water, and in her fruits and vegetables (duh). Can she get TOO MUCH Vitamin C?

-About how long do you think it'll take her to adapt to me and her new surroundings? I bought her August 6th.

Thank you! And please have some experience with piggies. List your sources please.

My Betta fish, Sofa, is 5 years old. (He's called Sofa, because he lives on the table...well next to our sofas.)

Recently, my betta fish is getting this one light/ gray spot near the gills, and his gills are kind of red too. He keeps opening up his gills really wide. There's this little hole on his pelvic fins. He also takes these big gulps. Is there something wrong? Please tell me as soon as possible.

I have a Double registered Pomeranian female and a Double registered Chihuahua Champion Male. (So you can't call it iresponseable breeding) I wanted to make a more strong breed than a Chihuahua. They won't have Hypoglycemia and won't have a soft spot on their head.( only a pure bred Chihuahua has this) So there will not be so many complications for the owner that is going to buy it. I wanted this to happen so they will be stronger dogs. If your just going to call it a Mutt then don't answer i already know that it is a mixed breed and inted on getting papers with a registry that will register the mixed breeds. Thank you for answering and don't give me stupid ones.

I have had my cats for two years, the cat I had before these two I had for 13 years... I have alwayd been an avid cat lover. Both cats are not fixed or declawed becuase I never had the money or the need to do so with my furry babies.

Since I just had my daughter about two months ago my cats seemed to have lost their minds.
They have torn holes into the back of my couch, started making a scratching post out of all furniture, carpet and curtains...they also started spraying and marking everywhere, the latest trick is crapping in my closet or in a basket of laundry...
I keep their litter box clean everyday and they have toys and food...what gives?
I know I am busy now with a baby but I feel my cats still get plenty of attention and love from my boyfriend and I so why are they acting this way?
And the most important question how can I persuade my kitties to stop the destruction... becuase honestly I may love my cats to death but I cant have that going on in a house with a newborn.

Alright well after the visit to the vets. they told me she was unsure of what my dog had. and then began to treat her for mange "just incase".(I dont see how this is possible because my other two dogs would be showing symptoms as well.) so she told me not to worry about her ear. She clearly has an ear infection it now puts out alot go brownish discharge or wax that has a super bad odour. I clean it twice daily to help keep her comfortable and i am also giving her benedryl. I asked the vet if its possible for animals to get allergy tests and she told me. no becuase no matter how many time you do an allergy test on an animal you'll never get a correct result. I found this quite odd. is it true? Im not quite sure where to go from here. All i know shes getting worse quick

so i THOUGHT my blue heeler was diciplined enough to be left alone for about an hour while i did some running around in town. when i got back, he'd torn up my room and ate my betta fish. i know these dogs are energetic and it's not his fault really, but i guess what i'm asking is will the fish harm him or his system?
