Does anybody have any good instructions or know a site that has good instructions on how to convert a fish tank to a vertical terrarium? I want to get a crested gecko and I know that they would rather have height then floor space. Would this be a good idea. Also does anybody have some good ideas for nice custom backgrounds? Can you feed crested geckos crested gecko diet only or should also feed them insects on a regular basis?

Anyone have a baby with a young pup? My latest pit bull has been the baby but now we're expecting our second child... She's great with our four year old, and she likes to chase the cats and lick them against their will, but what self respecting dog doesn't chase cats... Any suggestions getting her used to the baby? Oh, and any answers from trolls or people who hate dogs, pits or people being happy, you will be ignored and laughed at, so go ahead and embarrass yourself. Real answers only please!

Hello. We have a wonderful little yellow lab in all aspects aside from puppy biting. I'm at my wits end with her, having tried all the normal responses. Our vet told us to put a finger on the back of her tongue and press. She kept biting even as we did it. We tried pressing her lips against the teeth like he said but you can't get your hands close enough without MORE biting. We've sprayed her with water bottles but it only stops her for a second and didn't help long term. We've tried yelling or yelping when she bites too hard but she doesn't seem to care. She never looks concerned or stops. In fact she'd bite harder like now our hand is a squeeky toy too. At the clinic I worked at we learned submissive positions to use so she knows we are boss, and she does them wonderfully until you let her go and she immediately bites again. She likes EVERY brand of bitter spray weve tried as well as raw lemons and jalapeno peppers!!! HELP!??!!??

I just found out that raw foods are healthy for a cats diet. If so, can anybody tell me what kind of raw foods, I mean do I grab a piece of raw steak from the fridge and feed it to my cats? I don't really get it. I'm trying to be a better mommy for them. Thanks.

I have a freshwater aquarium. The ph is about 7.5 and it is 80 degrees. I have live plants and they are getting killed by algae. First little dark green spots grow on the plants' leaves, then the leaves rot (from lack of light?). This keeps happening until the plant is dead and I have to remove it. I have tried a variety of plants, but the problem still exists.

I got bitten by one of those little white mice one time. It was like 7 years ago, i dont remember sick, and i bought the mouse from some people who had like a whole bunch of them, i never felt sick or anything. Do you think rabies might be dormant in my body for 7 frikkin years? i never got any shots or anything, and i didnt say anything about it when i was a kid because i was like 11 and was scared to get the shots, so i kept my mouth closed, and eventually completely forgot id been bitten till i was watching something on rabies, and i was just wondering if u guys think i might have rabies. btw, mouse died like so long ago, my mom killed em because she was extremely horrified and disgusted by them haha, anyways, tell me what u think.

I just came home from the vet where I was told that my nine year old chihuahua has a condition called pyometra. This is an infection of the uterus. On Monday, she needs to undergo surgery where the vet will spay and remove her uterus. I was wondering if anyone has had experience with this disease before and if so, what are the chances that my dog will come out of it okay? I am so worried and anxious that I can barely stand it. My dogs are like my children.

While making it short and to the point.

There are so many things I would like to say to people who ask me about my APBTs, but the average person doesn't want to be lectured -- I know if someone was explaining the entire history of their dog's breed to me I'd become annoyed.

How do other APBT owners (or the owners of dogs seen as monsters) explain things to curious strangers?

I have a 4 month old black lab puppy. We have been dealing with a diarrhea problem with him since Labor Day. Our vet is certainly helpful, but I thought I might get some insight here.

He was on Iams Smart Puppy Large Breed. When the diarrhea began (it was severe enough that he was waking up all night after he was quite housebroken), he went on metronidizole and amforal which immediately helped the problem. 1.5 days after being off the meds, the diarrhea returned. We did the same meds course again with the same results. The third time, we changed his food to Purina E/N and he went on metronidizole and amoxicillan. Problem cleared up and he went for about a week off the meds before it seems, today, to have returned. He's again back on metronidizole and we changed food to Hills Z/N (hypoallergenic). Other than the diarrhea, he is perfectly fine and healthy. We're at a loss to figure out what is wrong. Has anyone had a similar experience? What could be the cause? Thanks so much!

My son is allergic. My daughter wants a kitty so bad! I was just wondering if he were exposed to one for awhile he would outgrow it or not?

I like brindle colored dogs, but if brindle meant paying a whole lot more I'm not sure I would. Would you pay extra? I guess the same could be said about paying alot for a purebreed, I'd definitely pay good money for a well bred dog.

My dog keeps panting a lot and i am worried. She also has fever, chills, and can't go up the stairs very well. She sometimes does not want anybody even the owner to touch her. She does not eat a lot. Sometimes when my dog is laying on the floor she hols he panting. Instead of panting she holds it in.

What is wrong with my cat? He seems so hungry meowing for food and when I give the food to him he didn't want any. Yesterday I saw the litter in the litter box was in a pile so I went to take out the poop and their was no poop or urine. Could this be Feline Infectious Anemia?
