What can I do about it? He is otherwise healthy, happy and playful. The other (I think) is female. Her nose changes colors periodically.
Both eat the same premium food, get minerals, egg supplement, fresh greens, and live in the same cage.
He IS a bit of a "scardy-cat" and won't allow handling.

Well I saw in a magazine about pygmy rabbits. They are the smallest rabbits in the world. Well, it said they were close to extenction, but people rescued them and bred them to help the population. Well, I know they are wild rabbits, but I wanted a rodent ( like a Chinchilla, cute and cuddly) but that doesnt have as many needs, like the temperature. I was looking in a rabbit, but the ones i looked at were too big. I want a really small rabbit (like a pygmy rabbit). I also want to adopt or rescue one, so if anyone knows of any good rabbit rescues (I've already looked at petfinder) please list them. The last thing I want to end up doing is buying a rabbit from a breeder or pet store. Also, if anyone knows of any other rodents (except hamsters, guinea pigs) that I could play with and cuddle with, please list them.
I have a cockatiel, 1 dog, and 2 hermit crabs, so I need a small, playful rodent. Thanks!!

Like if they even start to bark or get on some furniture or whatever, she blasts one of those loud-a$$ed canned air horns at them. First, it's annoying as hell if you're over there and don't know that the pet just did something and all of a suddent you hear some loud blast. But second, don't you think this is mean? Because then every dang animal in the house ducks down all terrified like they think they're the one who did something bad. She has 2 dogs and 3 cats. I feel like reporting her, but is this really cruel?

I have 6 tiger barbs and 3 red swordtail fish along with 3 zebra danios. I woke up this morning and my only male red swordtail was dead, could this have been from the tiger barbs? I noticed they have been picking on my algea fish as well.

We recently brought a fish, and after a week we noticed white spots on his tail. We gave him some white spot treatment and did a 25% water change, and after a few days there was still no improvment. As he is now lying on the bottom of the tank all the time we visited local pet store who advised us to use Melafix instead. He implied that Melafix will fix all the problems - but I fear this is too late for our fish. Does melafix help with whitespot? Can we use the white spot treatment and melafix together? Just looked at him now and he appears to have a bit of fin rot on his tail too. =(
Help!

I've been feeding these 2 kittens for a few months--they're about 5-6 months old now. All of a sudden 1 disappeared and the other one has started coming out in the daytime(he never has before) and just sitting by my shed that he lives under and crying off and on and sleeping sitting up. He has stopped eating-and I found alot of saliva in his dish and now there are pine needles stuck all over his nose and mouth which he hasn't bothered to clean off. I only see him drinking water--I think he's sick--not sure maybe just missing his sibling-- how do you tell? I've tried animal control--spca--etc--can't get anyone to do anything-- Animal control said maybe rabies--and call him today again --now he won't answer the phone.p.s. he's not friendly--I can't get near him. Thx!

My cat had kittens three days ago. She had three kittens. Two of them are alive and one was stillborn. My question is the mother cat does not want to eat very much and a very small amount at night. She is very skinny after she had the babies. should I worry or is this normal?

We got two adoreable kittens that were dumped at local pet store. Since we have two other cats, we kept them in our bathroom for several weeks. They are now 3 months and we slowly introduced them to the other cats. I moved the litter box by several feet to the garage (cats have pet door) over a week or more. I showed them the new place and helped them through the door. I thought everything was fine until I made the horrible discovery - the poop in "hidden" places!! I have put them back into the bathroom and they are using it there. But I want my bathroom back!! How do I get them using the litter box in the garage??

I bought a covered litter box because I just adopted another cat from the Animal Rescue League about 3 or 4 months ago and the smell with both of them after they went was getting pretty stinky ;) I showed them both how to get in the litter box and stuff and the 8 mo. old cat got it, but my older cat refused to use it and has been going on the carpeted steps instead which really irritates my roommates that live up there. I tried taking off the door and showing here again. I tried just taking the cover off and she still won't use it anymore. I tried putting her poop in the litter box and letting her see it and petting her and the same while yelling... She's also been set on sneaking out of the house for 3 day periods of time when she's been an indoor cat for the past 2 years. She used to never even leave the yard. I don't know what happened. I thought maybe it was because of the new cat but why was she fine with her for the first 4-5 months then?
How can I get my old cat back?!

I've just adopted a new puppy, very suddenly. My husband rescued her from being euthanised (as were the rest of her litter mates.)
I have an 11month old beagle mix, who is EXTREMELY active. She's a very hyper dog, needs lots of exercise and attention. The puppy is a bassett hound, and she's about 10 weeks old.
I've never really had more than one dog at a time, except for brief periods, like fostering.. but nothing that required intensive training.
My beagle wants to put her paw on the puppy's head, she likes to knock her over. If the puppy is sleeping or sitting still (she's reaaaaaaallly lazy), it seems to drive the beagle nuts. She will start biting at her muzzle and putting her paw on her head.
Is this behaviour unacceptable? Is this a dominance issue?
I'm really not sure how to LET them behave together, I don't want them to form bad habits, but obviously I want them to play.
