My domestic shorthair kitten (male) is about 10 weeks old. He still tries to "nurse" early in the mornings or right when I or my girlfriend come home. He'll basically nibble/suck at his own paws or tail, our shirts, or the carpet, making a kneading motion with his front paws. Is this normal? Should I be trying to stop this behavior?

My fish tank filter is so noisey I turn it off when I'm home and put it on when I go to work. Will this harm my fish?

I would like the largest aquarium with hood I could get for less that $200 total including filter, air pump, and heater. I know I could get a 55 gallon at walmart for $100, but from experience I know their air pumps and filter are horrible. I would like to buy this for my son for christmas, probably $250 at the MOST. I would like to buy everything new. My son can make a tank stand after christmas in advanced woods class at school.

I have been giving Cleo, my Basengi, a raw egg every morning cracked open into a bowl, throwing the shell away. Now I have a friend who is concerned for my dogs well being because of this. I am a Certified Veterinary Assistant but because at the present I am not working as such, my friend is skeptical of my knowledge. I tell him it is a good source of protien and if nothing else it will help her coat look its best. Please let us know what the trueth is so my friend will feel better.

I bought a pair of a hi fin red banded goby and red banded pistol shrimp yestarday, and the pistol shrimp started to furiously dig threw the whole night, and right away when he got in the tank.

But today, I'm not seeing them anywhere. I don't hear the pistol shrimp snapping either. Should I worry about this?

Thank you!

She climbs on boxes, then jumps unto to ducts in the unfinished room, we can't close off this room because this is where she eats, drinks, pees and poops. We will not move the litter box and food because she will then get angry and pee all over the place. We will not train her or get rid of her. Is there anything we can spray to keep her off for good.

I originally planned on changing it once a week, but I got him...Peter...yesterday and his water is already looking merky. I feel like changing it too often will shock him? Any beta experts out there??? PLEASE HELP!

I have recently purchased a small red-footed tortoise (4 " approx) and was sold a wooden viv, heat/basking bulb, florescent light, water bowl, hay pellets as a substrate and thermometers. I was advise to make a hide out of a shoe box and put in shredded newspaper (which my tortoise loves). To feed it fruit and veg and occasionally dog food or pinkies. Since been reading about the keeping of this species and I have changed the substrate to cyress mulch ( as seems to be recommended) and have changed the diet accordingly and purchased vitamin supplements too which i include now and again. Brought a cuttlefish bone, but are these ok for non-adult tortoises? Getting a hyrometer as was not advised about humidity and so spray the substrate daily to raise levels. Cannot find mazuri food which is recommended, so got another sort which is given in small amounts occasionally. Also got a reptile branch in basking area...please help with advice to make Redford a happier tortoise....

I have a 10 gallon. Aquarium has 4 fake plants, small black gravel, and 3 caves. Heater is at 78 and there is a 70 gallon per hour filter. I have 2 african cichlids and 3 cory cats in my ten gallon. Africans are only about 1/2 and inch long as I have raised them since fry. Cory cats are 1 inch long. I know in the future I will be far overstocked. I will be able to buy a larger fish tank in the future. So my questions are, 1 cichlid is very dominate over the other fish and is territorial. With the size of the fish and the aquarium size, I was not anticipating this so early in my cichlids life. How do I make this cichlid less aggressive?? Any old tricks or anything? I know cichlids are territorial by nature. Also, can I feed all my fish sinking African cichlid pellets. I figure these would be ok for my cory cats too as they are bottom feeders. Also, If I put a betta or a type of fast swimming fish in my aquarium would that help even out the aggression of my cichlid. Thank you very much!!

My furry son, our dog, is a one dog kinda guy, he is very teritorrial and does not really like to get along with other dogs because of this. He is 1 year old, he is not fixed yet (but will be shortly), he is a Russel Terrier, Chihuahua mix. Once he is fixed, will he be mose docile? I want to get a little female mix from the rescue center but I'm worried about them fighting. Will he always be abrasive towards other dogs even after he is fixed?

She is about the size of a pug now (height wise) but she is only a puppy (2 or 3 months maybe?) so she will grow. I don't think I got it in the photo, but her tail is curly. She had blue eyes when we got her about a month ago but now they have faded to a sort of dark hazel. We think maybe German Shepard and chow. She also has a thick dark stripe down her back like a german shepard.

And there is no need for smart allicky remarks like "I'm not a mouse, I'm a human" or something along those lines. Just answer the question.
