I bought these about... 5 years back?

They are like "sea monkeys", as to where you put little eggs in water and they hatch.

Except they grew into this little things that look similar to horseshoe crabs, just under an inche big.

Have you heard of them? Know what they are called? Where I can find them?

I asked a question earlier and presented these stats from the Brevard County Florida, county run KILL shelters:

Number of stray animals cared for: 17, 041
Number of dogs and cats euthanized: 8,866
Number of dogs and cats adopted or returned: 5,995
Average cost per animal in care: $75.32

The cost to care for these animals comes from our county taxes. So, it cost us about $667,787.12 for the animals that had to be destroyed. That is only in one year! That is only the amount the county paid, it does not include the cost of the donated supplies.

I just did a little more research and found out my county has about 426,953 adults. So that means that on an average, 1 in every 25 adults in this county has an animal that went to the county pound. (Again, this doesn't count the 3 privately run shelters, So I think a more accurate estimate would be 1 in 15.) And this is for THIS YEAR ALONE!!!!

What do you think of this? What are your area stats? What can we do to fix this?

If a person cannot afford i.e. regular shots and checkups, does that mean that they are or are not abusing or neglecting their animals? If they love their animals, is that enough? Or should those animals who are not receiving regular vaccinations and check-ups be removed from the owner's home? Why or why not?

The container we have now is approx 5-7 gallons, old planter, and I have 2 large goldfish and one tiny one, 10 snails, and now it seems 3 frogs have shown up. I'd like to keep these as well. We're looking for about a 20 gal tank for indoors. I know what to do with my plants, just need help with the critters. Thanks!

I have a 75 gallon tank cycling with river rock bottom and several tall fake plants, I don't like to keep real plants. I need to lower my ph from 7.5 to 6.5 because I will be keeping discus. Would a large piece of driftwood lower my ph, and by how much.? Also If I added java moss would that lower my ph, and by how much? I dont like to use chemicals so rule that out. Thanks!

About a week ago I said I hated puppy mills, breeders and petstores. Then I apoligized cause some of you took offensive to my question about breeders. Now that I think about it, I'm not sorry. First of all, why do people breed their dogs when there are already so many homeless animals being killed in shelters because nobody wants them? Yes, I have heard about people saying how much they love their dogs and care for them, but if you truely loved them you would not be breeding them and letting other innocent animals die! The pet population is already high enough! And the people that buy from a pet store and breeders arent making the situation better. They are just supporting them to keep breeding their animals. If everyone rescued animals, we wouldnt have millions dieing each year in shelters. We adopted our little dog that we gave a second channce. And I'm sure if nobody hadnt, she wouldnt be here. But unfortuantly I cant safe all of them. But the bigest question to me is, why do people

I think I either have springtails or cat fleas in my apt - my cat has been treated with frontline and I flea fogged the apt. I also had an exterminator in and the room in which they are most prominent, both I and the cat are staying out of. The apt is pre-war in NY - even after the exterminator the bugs came back. I've vacuumed them up, sprayed, and the exterminator is coming back on thursday. My bedsheets were laundered last time along with the duvet yet still these little pests are back. Any ideas for foolproof ways to get rid of a kinda mystery bug. (They're def not bedbugs or cockroaches on the say-so of the exterminator and from online pics they look to me to be springtails or fleas. About 3-5mm long and 1-2mm wide and jet black)

I have had the panther gecko for about 4 months. He has gotten slightly bigger since I got him but not by much. He hasnt shedded his skin in at least two months. I've been feeding him on average about 2-3 crickets per day and wax worms about once a week. Is that a sufficient amount of food for him? How often are they supposed to shed their skin?

I have a female maltese (1 1/2 yrs old, 6 lbs.) and a male havanese (1 yr old, 7 lbs.) that I would like to breed. I have never bred dogs before so I am just learning and am in need of some serious advice. I decided to ask this with hopes that anyone would be so kind as to share their knowledge, experience and insight with me to help me through this process. Let me start by explaining a few things because I know that many people are against breeding dogs, especially mixed breeds. First, my 2 dogs are the only pets that I own, their safety and well-being is my number one concern. They are both AKC registered purebreds. Both dogs have had excellent vet care, my vet checked them both numerous times and sees no problem with mating them now. I have no intentions of becoming a puppy mill or backyard breeder who produces litter after litter for the purpose of making money, my intention is to produce 1 litter for members of my family and friends, who are already waiting for these puppies and I will only ask them to pay what I have paid for the expenses of their vet care and other care required for them. All that being said, I hope you will see fit to give me any advice that you have in order for me to breed my dogs the right way.
Now for my issue at hand. On Tues Sept. 3, I first noticed signs of heat in my girl. There was a tiny spot of blood on her tail, however I'm not sure if she'd gone into heat before this as she is extremely clean about it and her vulva was not swollen enough to be really noticeable. Around this time my male was constantly trying to mount her, she would stand for a second or two for him and then knock him off, but he just kept on trying and trying (although his penis never came out of the tube). So at this time I figured she was in the first phase of heat, where bleeding is present but she will not accept him, and I figured she would not let this happen for 7-10 days. However, on Thurs Sept 6, I found them tied, around that time I looked at her vulva again and it was alot more swollen. Now I was confused, the only explanation I could think of was that she had started her heat way before I noticed it and was now in the second phase and that is why she accepted him. Ever since then she has been trying to flirt with him, sticking her butt in his face, mounting him, and backing up to him, but now he is not showing any interest in trying to mount her. He will smell her vulva and lick it but that's about it. Yesterday Sat. Sept 9, I noticed a tiny bit of blood coming out of her vulva, then a short time later I saw her drip a spot of blood on the floor and my male licked it up as soon as it fell. So, now I'm really confused, I'm not sure what is going on or which stage of heat she is in. The blood makes me think she is still in the first stage of heat and not fertile yet. But her actions and the fact that they tied already makes me think she's in the second stage and is fertile now. So I can't figure that out, and I also don't have any idea why suddenly my male does not want to mount her or how to get him interested again. Any advice is well appreciated, people wanting to bash me need not reply.
