The water in my fish tank is evaporating really fast. I expect that when it is hot during the summer, but now that it has cooled down I cant help be worry why the water is evparoating so fast. My tank is covered the heater is just right and there are no leaks so what could it be?

And if so do you like it and was it a good purchase? i have a link down at the bottom of a nice site i found but am not sure if it is worth it's money. Do you think so? Anyway the reason why i'm asking is because my dogs water is always full of dirt and leaves and stuff that she digs up in the backyard and i have to clean it out everyday and i sometimes forget to clean it out and she drinks that gross water and i can't bare to think about her drinking that. I also think that it would be good for my cat because my cat always drinks from the opening to the filter on my fish tank so maybe that would help him stop (i always have enough fresh water for him) What do you think? I think it will be very convenient for my lifestyle but I was just wanting an extra push from yahoo answers.

Thank you!

I am taken my kitten to the vet to get his first shots on Saturday, how will his behavior be afterwards? Will he not want to be bothered or not want to play once we get home? Will he not feel like eating?

bath tub! They play in there all the time. They like to get into the tub after I have taken a shower. They like to tip over their water dishes ~ WHY IS THAT?

I use to have three horses, but two of them were sold, so my third horse is very lonely. I have heard that miniature donkeys make great companions. I just need a fairly cheap sweet donkey.

By b/f and I live together in an apartment and would like to get a new kitten. (not an adult cat) We already have 1.5yr old male at home. The thing is, we are thinking of getting a female kitten, but have some questions. First I must add, my cat is not neutered. My boyfriend refuses to allow me to get the cat fixed, he thinks it will make my cat less of a man lol. I disagree, but there's nothing I can do. If we got a female cat, we would get her fixed. We agreed to that. I am wondering though, if we got another male, and he was fixed, would they fight? I know males mark territory. Also, what's the best way to introduce the new kitten? How long would it take them to get used to eachother? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Serious comments only please. Also, our cat is strictly indoors, the new cat would be as well.

I just got a 10 gallon it has been set up for 6 days now. I am open to a lot of different fish. Not brackish or saltwater because of the size of the tank. I dont want something that gets over 4-5". I want this tank to be compatible. I like tetras a lot and would love to have them i just cant decide. Also i want to have this tank planted and i have just regular aquarium gravel (i read about a substrate?) do i need to change anything? I will most likely put the fish in first then plant. I was thinking maybe bottem fish first then work up to top fish? Thanks. I heard corys were hardy and so as bottemfeeders maybe them since this is a new tank. I would probably get fish either this weekend or next weekend. After i get them i would wait about 2 weeks to get more. Just anything you think would look nice/decor wise/ gravel wise/ plantwise ya know? Thanks!

My cat is bringing live rats as present on a weekly basis, he now has fleas (from the rats?), I got bitten by the fleas( not the rats )and lie awake at night pondering if I could get the plague?
Does anyone knows if any plague cases have been reported in the UK lately?

hi. I recently got a pit bull puppy. He was 6 weeks old when I got him, and we've had him for 4 weeks now, so he is 10 weeks old. He has grown a lot in the 4 weeks, but when we take him for walks we have had people tell us that he is really small for his age. Here's a link to a pic of him at 10 weeks with my mini dachshund. My dachshund weighs around 15 lbs (he's a little chubby) just so you can get a comparison to size. Is this normal size? If not, should I be concerned? thanks a lot guys!

I love all animals and If I had room I would have a few dogs, two lap, two large for my backyard and mid size house dog to dominate inside. I would have one cat and a fish tank in every room of the house. Currently I have 2 betas in two rooms.

I just moved to NYC and thought living with a roomate with cats would be fine- though I don't enjoy them, I don't hate them. Well we live in a small apt with 3 ppl and she has two cats - we have our own rooms - but her cats have TAKEN OVER the gd apt. I am so annoyed - they go to the highest of places and knock over full wine bottles - roll the entire roll of toilet paper off of the thing - destroy any sort of napkin or papertowel left out in the kitchen - if I leave my bedroom door open they dart in and hide under my bed and I can't have them in there because they will scratch my comfortor apart. They are not declawed - they ruined our entire carpet - they scratch everything - they fight each other all night long - and always push their damn toys under my door into my room at night -w aking me up.

Why are they so insane? Is this normal? It's like I don't have an apt - they own it. I don't know what to do - suggestions? plz no - "love cats, they're awesome" real advice plz.

Hi
I have a pet garter snake, Ken who has slithered out of his vivarium. I'm a rather inexperienced snake handler and although I've searched the house from pillar to post there's no sign of him. I've heard snakes usually head for warm damp areas, is this correct?
I need to find him quick before he runs into next doors cat, there could be a blood bath.
Thanks.

They pee and poop on the floor, he's not the best at cleaning up after them. The first day he brought them into the house, one immediately lifted his leg on the wall (AFTER being taken out to potty). They wallow all over the furniture (I sneeze to no end) and beg terribly while we're eating dinner. He got a little peeved when I told him no dogs in the bedroom.. it's the only place I can BREATHE. We're getting the backyard fenced in, but he says outdoors is NOT an option to his little angels. My cat has been living in a closet the past three weeks, because the dogs terrorize her. The dogs ravage the litter box looking for "snacks". I am at my wits' end! HELP

I was told that I shouldn't let my kitten go in the bathroom, is this true? I ask this because some people on here have said that I should put his litterbox in the bathroom so I am just trying to find out if it's ok for him to go in there. Thanks
