We took her to the petstore, and they think she's bloated, or she's pregnant. We're feeding her a small flake a day, now, she seems so hungry when we feed it to her...

If she's pregnant, and we DON'T have a male for her...what will happen to her? Will she just keep growing in size? I know males squeeze the eggs out of the females...what's gonna happen to my beta?!

Please help!

Okay I have spawned my two bettas in a ten gallon tank. It's day five. I can see the fry and I am feeding them Atison's Betta fry Starter, and some of wardleys liqiufry for egglayers and live bearers. ((It helps infursia in the tank)). I see them sinking to the bottom though, the fry aren't moving much and have to keep swimming up as they sink back towards the bottom of the tank. Is there something wrong i'm doing with feeding them? How much should i feed at what time a day? Please help, this is my first time...

I just put in 2 tiger barbs into my aquarium on Sunday. The first day the tiger barbs seemed happy as can be. Now the tiger barbs have seperated and have started to grow some kind of weird white stuff on their back fin. It looks as if the end of the back fin is kind of decaying. (It looks as if it is losing its normal shape, but I have not seem any kind of fighting between the fish so I do not think that, that is the problem) The tank is 46 gallons and has all of the proper chemicals added. The tank is heated to around 87-88 degrees and has an external filter system on it. The tank consist of 2 bala sharks, 2 silver dollars, 2 tiger barbs, and 2 fire platys. Oh yeah, one of the fire planties is having the same problem. Can you please help me!?!

I am not going to immediately get a dog because of where I live and my current status of not being able to take the time for the animal. I was just wondering if anybody had any suggestions on large dog breeds. If you could, give temperments as well.

I have a skunk in my window well right now and I want to kill it without it spraying. Years ago I read an article in the newspaper about a skunk getting into a family's basement and spraying, spreading it's stink via central air. It caused tens of thousands of dollars in damage, and homeowners insurance didn't cover it. I'm afraid even a licensed trapper will cause it to spray from fear, so i want to poison it to death then call someone to pull it out. Also it is going nuts right now trying to get out, so i'm affraid that it might spray just from being stuck in there overnight. So i need poison. Any thought?

I have a couple of aquariums (one brackish and one fresh) and I'd like to find a freshwater fish that would be able to eat the snails that have mulitplied in my tank. I know about the "Had-a-snail" products but I'm looking to add another fish type into my aquarium anyway and I'd rather not kill the snails if there is a fish that would happily eat them.

My bearded dragon has stopped eating for about 4 days now. She sleeps often through the day but she will wake up and go to bask under the light. Is it too early for her to brumate? How can I tell if she is sick? She lives with another bearded dragon who is a boy and he's up and eating like normal. How can I care for her if she is brumating? She doesn't sleep in her hide-box, only on the bark I have for her. Any advice is well appreciated. I'm very worried about her. I took the two dragons in from a really bad environment, and I'm trying by best to get their health back. Please help!

If anyone knows about these old things they don't have the lip on which to put the hood, their hoods just rested on top of the rim. The problem is, I don't have the old hood, I can only buy new ones (that I know of.) I am ordereing all my stuff off of one site so I am not going to look on Ebay. Is there something I could do to make this work?

I am having a problem with someone in my neighborhood letting their dog poop in my yard and then not pick it up. This woman is highly obese and makes a big deal about having to pick it up when I am around to witness it. The problem is that I work very long hours and I can not be there to guard my yard against the onslaught of pet poo from her and her pet....

I do plan on confronting her but have not been around when she is walking her dog lately. Tonight I came home to a fresh pile right where I take out the garbage cans for the morning pick-up. I am a bit fed up at this point.

Does anyone have any ideas on ways that I can get my point across when I am not home? A sign that says that I appreciate pet owners picking up their dog's crap?? I am frustrated and hope that someone can help me a bit here. Thanks in advance.
