Pets - 19 August 2007

and then got run over again or maybe it all happened at the same time.
How long does rigor mortis last? His legs, tail and head are all stiff but the body is still soft. So is rigor mortis just setting in or leaving? Also, memorial service and burial is in 2 days so I have him in a freezer. Do I put him in dry ice till then? I suppose I have to thaw him to get him in a comfortable position in the casket?
Thanks for any info or knowledge.

I hear places like petco don't treat their reptiles good or something.

Online, the corn snakes I want are around 15-30$ Plus another 30-50 for shipping. Is that reasonable?

How much are they at petco?
But if you really recommend online, give me some sites.

I'm considering purchasing a baby bearded dragon, and have been doing some research in books and on the internet, but would just like some opinions from people who actually have them. Is there a an agression difference between males and females? Or is one more territorial than the other? Is keeping just one an okay thing, or do they do better in pairs? Any information would be helpful.

and now it's going to cost me a fortune...

My chihuahua Sally and my brother's pitbull Max went outside to play one day. I just let them go run free- naturally.

Well Max got hit by a car and Sally was in heat too. I think Sally is pregnant with Max's babies.

We decided to have Max put to sleep because he was going to need too much vet care and it was going to be expensive.

At least now Sally's babies will let Max come back to us- and we can sell the rest and make some money. I hope she can deliver the babies okay- Max was about 65lb bigger than her. I don't want to ask the vet because that'll be expensive.

I didn't LET her get pregnant- it just happened naturally.
I didn't LET him get hit by a car- it just happened naturally.

Anyone else here get very annoyed by the lack of responsibility people take for their dogs?

If you don't get your female spayed or watch her like a hawk- she will get pregnant- end of story.

Almost everything that happens to your pet is your fault.

Every time it storms or there are fireworks, my dog goes insane. It knocks things over to try and burrow and if we put it in the bathroom with a radio and the exhaust fan and the lights on, it bangs the door so hard that it has broken 3. We can never sleep if it rains either because the dog is scared when it rains too. IF there is no way to calm her, we will have to get rid of her, she is destroying our house. I've tried 3-4 kinds of pills to calm her and we've let her loose a couple times to find a "safe" place but all she does is break things. ANy suggestions?

I am considering breeding corn snakes, and was wondering what to do with the hatchlings immediately after they are hatched.

Should i keep the together, or seperate them into seperate containers?
How often should i attempt feed them?

And, one last question, are there any age/weight/etc requirements to consider before breeding corn snakes?

Thanks!
Rachel

We found a baby bird alone on our front lawn. We looked and can't find the nest anywhere in the tree it was under and if it is there it's at the very top (and the tree is really tall). What should we do?

Is scale counting a reliable method of sexing corn snakes?

I was just wondering, as i'd rather not pop the snake and i've heard that probing can put a lot of stress on the snake and i'd rather not if it isn't nessicary.

Thanks!
Rachel.

I dont want to kill this turtle, just relocate it due to the fact the lake where it is at is turning into a subdivision. This turtle won't come very close to shore, and if you see it out in the middle it just goes straight back under. This lake is more than 10 feet deep so I can't get it with a net. Can anyone help?

My neighbors found it on their porch and you could tell that it was once owned cause he is so lovable and he he is fixed and everything. We took him in and he won't go in the litter box and he messed up the curtains. He won't walk through dark places at night. And he meows all night unless out Great Dane is in there with him. This is our first time to have a cat and we need help!!!! And you know some body dumped him, cause cats don't run away and everyone knows that. And if they do run away then they always come back for food. HELP!!!!

i just got 2 rats last night, and their names are oreo and jack. jack is the little baby, who always looks sleepy and who falls asleep when i rub his head. (SO CUTE!!!!) and oreo is the little stinker who NEVER STOPS MOVING! lol
anyways, i've been trying to get them used to me, so i've been sticking my hands in their cage and feeding them treats and letting them walk all over my hands and nibble them. and i've also been sticking my face in the opening of the cage. so they sniff all over my and lick me and stuff, but they also try and groom my bangs! lol i think it's adorable but why do they do that? lol they lick it and fuss around with it with their paws and it's like they're slicking it down and combing it with their paws lol.
why do they do it?
