I am thinking of getting a CWD. I live upstairs as will the CWD. Right now, i have a 20L cage with 2 hides, a large water dish and a feeding dish. Could i keep a baby in there and upgrade him to a 75 gallon tank in a couple of months? How hard would the humidity be to maintain at 60-70%? Would a thorough misting a day be enough or what would u suggest?

I talked to someone who had an iguana that the lizard was 7 mnths or so old and it was only about 1.5 feet long where as her other 2-3 month old babies were like 1.5 long. Is this iguana going to be short and not as long or is this iguana going to be as big or bigger? I would like to know because i am going to purchase this short iguana if it will stay smaller.

My cat took a mean ole mega poo on the carpet. I've shampooed the area, scrubbed it, put deodorizer on it, everything I could think of, but it still smells! Ick! Anyone know how to get the smell out? I know the "cat" smell is strong, but this is horrible!

I have two guinea pigs that are 3 months old. They love carrots and will eat green pepper once in a while. They used to eat red pepper but won't any longer. They love fruits too but from what I read they need veggies more..
Any suggestions to get them to eat some besides carrots? They ignored the spinach and parsley...

What does one do when this happens? What are his options? I would think obviously the mother is in pain so it's probably painful for her to try and feed her babies. They're 3 days old. Any advice or web-sites that can help?

It is so weird. I bought a mouse pad with those cute dogs that have distorted close up faces. About 20 different dogs. Every time I sit here I must put it right side up again! Do the faces scare him? Does he HATE them? Is there a bump on the bottom? (I checked) This is too weird.

In my home country, we used to eat cats as a delicious meal, but after moving to the United States, I do not want to do anything illegal. Will I get in trouble if I eat a cat?

Our neighbor keeps feeding the stray cats which then the cats get through our fence and into our yard bringing us millions of fleas that our puppy ends up getting. We have to give him a flea bath almost every week which isn't good for a puppy his age (he's 4 months) and we've tried everything to keep the fleas off of him. But as soon as he goes into our yard he picks up the fleas again. We've asked our neighbor numerous times to stop feeding them but she doesn't care about what we say. He has frontline and a flea collar which obviously aren't working. Our puppy has sores all over hime and spots with barely any hair because he itches so much. We want to use flea yard spray to get rid of them but we have to get rid of the cats first. I know there's spray to keep the animals away but friends have used it and it didn't work for them, is there anything else out there to use?

My corn snake has refused to eat for about two months now. It seems to be in good health and the cage is clean and at the right temperature. I usually feed the snake about 1 large mouse per week. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I would appreciate it.

Is it possible to tell the difference between male and female harlequins?

Can you tell if a female harlequin is pregnant?

If yes to the latter, can you separate them and then how do you care for the eggs?

Hi, about 4 years ago I bought five small, short-finned zebra danio to keep in a 10 gallon tank. 3 years ago (a year after I bought them), I left on vacation for 2 months and while I was gone my friend watched the tank for me. By the time I got back two of the danio had died and one was sick, I don't know what they had. The third danio died directly after I had returned from vacation, leaving me with only two zebra danios. About 6 months later a different friend decided she did not want her two fancy male guppies any more so I told her I would take them for her. I put them in the tank with my two remaining zebra danios and all seemed fine.
Now, it is 4 years since I bought the danios, 3 years since half of them died, and 2 years 6 months since I added the guppies to the tank.
The tank has always had a heater, filter, and bubbler.
I check the ph levels every week when I replace 25% of the water. And I clean the filter every month.
The fish are fed TetraFin Tropical Flakes once a day.

Do shelties do good with papillons? I have a very sweet sheltie named Trotter who wouldn't harm a fly and is great with other animals, but gets a little hyperactive and playful with other dogs (especially female dogs.) Any advice??

He's really big. Almost thirty pounds. One of my friends read that if you have a big boston terrier, that theres a chance that he's not full bread. Any other boston that we see is much smaller.

I just went to petstore today to pick up a sweater for my 9 weeks old chihuahua and weight him on their weight machine and I was so surprise because he weight at 4 pounds. I wouldnt think it were normal for his breed to be that big at only 9 weeks so I was wonder how can I figure out his full grow weight?

Other than danios, tetras, barbs, dwarf gouramis, cory catfish and marble hatchet fish. Nothing hard just simple. No separating and junk. EASY.
