Because I can't afford a large tank, but I have tons of very large rodent cages that I used with my hamsters, they are very big, so, if it has the lighting and heating, can it live in one of those cages?

I love my hamster and I often want to give him a treat, but he doesn't like strawberries and celery like most hamsters. I buy the special hamster treats but sometimes I don't have them, what else do you think I can give him?

I found the kitten in a tree, about a week ago. He is like 7 weeks old. He has warm milk regularly - but I cannot watch over the milk and over them when I am at work. The problem is that my cat's nipples became very red, swollen, and sore. I am panicking. Is there anything that would not harm any of them and that I could use on the cats' nipples to stop the small one's addiction?

Thanks!

Okay, I think I have been had. I brought what I was told was a chihuahua, and we went to see him as a pup with mummy and all seemed fine. Now he has been delivered to my door and he is BIG for a small dog. I have not sent cash yet as we have been on holiday. They are expecting £500 at the end of the month. This pup is staying here to be loved, he is a great little chap but no KC or papers and I just want to know what you think I should do. He came from a Family home but they wanted him gone before he was 10 weeks (so he was still small) Mum is a definate Chi but have a look at him for me and please any advice, I do not think he is worth £500, I have already paid £87, Thanks. p.s we still love anyway, he is nearly toilet trained and such a lovely boy. http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff249/joleneapsey1/September2007168.jpg http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff249/joleneapsey1/September2007167.jpg ttp://i241.photobuckethttp://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff249/joleneapsey1/September2007149.jpg.com/albums/ff249/joleneapsey1/September2007171.jpg http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff249/joleneapsey1/September2007170.jpg

I was planning on keeping it in a little breeder because my tank is quiet big and I'm just worried about it not being able to get to the surface good and the other fish bothering it. But I'm wondering if the aquarium salt in the tank might hurt it. The reason I want to do this is because my other ACF is full grown and I don't want this new one to get eaten, so I'll add it to my oyher tank when its big enough.

I have a labador/doberman mix he's about 1yrs old now. I try not to put him in his cage when im not at home so he can roam cause I dont get to run him like I want to at times. My trash can is in the kitchen under a shelf and I use bunge cords to hold it in which worked for the first couple of weeks or month. But now he some how figured out how to move the cords and pull down the trash can and have trash everywhere downstairs when I get home. What can I do to keep him out of the trash and also keep from having to put him up while am at work or asleep??

My Siamese had a litter of four kittens, two of which have sold recently and gone to good homes. All kittens have been wormed, vaccinated and vet checked. One of the two kittens remaining is thriving but the other one has had a small case of diarrhoea (has settled now) and he seems to have stopped putting on any weight. He hasn't lost his appetite (raw chicken and roo meat). He is still running around but not as much since he lost two of his siblings. Could he be depressed or possibly stressed from the change and what can I do to help him put back on the weight?

My sister has a jack russel about 13yrs and is continually losing hair, is this normal or is it because it is old.

I just bought 3 female bettas from walmart. They were labeled female and look like female vieltaies anyway. I put them in a tank together and two are really aggressive. All 3 flare at each other but it is the 2 I am worried about. Besides flaring they are attacking each other and they almost look like they are cuping each other at times. I read that when introducing them they would establish a pecking order but I also heard if they were attacking each other that's cause for concern. The have plenty of places to hide. but the 2 just keep going at it. So my question is should I wait it out, separate them, or be concerned that they are not female at all? Any help would be great!
p.s. at one time they locked "lips" and would not go, what is that all about? please help!

hi basically ive done a ammonia test today and the results are off the chart... the nitrite and nitrate levels are both zero.. could there be a problem with the breakdown of the ammonia... i had to do a full water change nearlly 2 weeks ago because my 2 year old found the fish food and fed all of it in one go... it was so bad i couldnt see the fish.. anyway since then its been hard to keep the levels of ammonia down ive done partial water changes and the last one was 2 nights ago... is there anything else i can do (other than adding amnolock which doesnt seem to do anything) i would be grateful for some serious replies... im no expert but have some experience... thankyou

I've heard you only need to feed them once every 3 days? I don't believe it is it true?
How long do the usually live, and what kind of living condition is best???
Do they really live long in those small little containers and bowls, and i was wonder the best but still affordable place to buy a betta?

I have posted a few questions on here in the past and I must say that 95% of the answers are from people really looking to try and help or give their advice. However, there always seems to be someone that puts in an unmerited response. For example, because I've bred my dog I'm automatically a puppy mill (and shame on me for not having had her spayed!).

Obviously each person has the right to his or her own opinion, but I don't think it's quite fair to judge so quickly. I am an educated person who diligently selected a sire for my purebred dog. My dog is a breed that tends to have small litters (and at considerable costs). We intend to keep one of the puppies (the other will go to the sire) and if there are any additional puppies we plan to give them to good homes with people we know. We are absolutely not in this for the money. On the contrary, we bred our dog for the love of the dog and the breed.

Please think twice before making assumptions.
