Are there any great sites for setting up an aquarium? in the meantime, how do you syphon out the water when cleaning? when i was a kid i used to suck the water to get it started, and then it would work, but it was messy, and i would end up with a mouthful of dirty water.

I'm going to have a few of these questions because I need about 100 dogs and their heart rates(just use your hand). I'm going to do some myself but theres no way I can get 100 unless I get some help so thank you! I would also need their height from their withers or shoulders down and if possible, their weight and breed. Once again, THANK YOU!!!!! (and for people who've seen this a million times, sry)

I got a reptile starter kit which had sand in it, and since leopard geckos cant use sand I need something to do with it. Can I use it for my crickets, or just throw it away?

Okay, I have a turtle named Snapper, he's a red-eared slider, and I think he's sick. His shell is reallly soft, and he doesn't do anything but float around all day. I know he's alive because every once in a while he'll take a few strokes, but what's wrong with him? Also, he hasn't grown since I got him six months to a year ago.

Can you negotiate the price of a puppy when the breeder has already asked for a certain amount? Or is it generally a fixed price? I just want to know what is normally done.

For example- I'm interested in a maltese puppy. The breeder I'm interested has priced them at 1250, which I think is a tad too much. I would give 900-1000.

our female rabbit had just given birth to her first litter of 2 about 12-13 hours ago and we are rather worried about her. we came downstairs about 15 mins ago to find that she had knocked the top of the cage off. we let her out of the cage and she started to jump up to high places - dangerous places. she has been resting though. the baies are fine, they are both snuggled together in their mothers fur in the cage but she won't go in. she is also ripping it out but shes also looking around. we have been thinking, could she be lonely? she has had a male in with her ever since march when we got them - we didn't know the male was male, we aquired females and yes, they were sexed twice by the pet shop when they were small. we took the male out around 7AM today when we heard the female making noises and it was around 8 - 10AM when she gave birth. should we let her meet the male? what should we do?!? please give advice and help A.S.A.P. thankyou

Just curious.

She ate a piece of a milky way chocolate 4 days afterwards she was vomiting and had diahrrea but because she had gotten sick before we just thought it was an upset stomach and treated her with metradozone(antibiotic). A week passed since she had eaten the chocolate we took her to the vet and he said that we should continue what we have been doing and give her pedialyte. She continued sick and we took her to the vet again this time he said that due to the fact that she had bloody stools he thought she ate rat poisoning. We informed him that it was very unlikely,she had just eaten the chocolate. however he treated her as she was rat poisoned. Vitamin k was given to her for 5 days. The blood in her stool stopped , however she continued with the diahrrea and vomit. She wasn't eating. We forced fed her and gave her vitamins. But as the days passed she got worse and skinnier. The vet visits continued but everthing was the same. Almost 3 weeks after it all started we got home and she was dead

I feel that I am not supplying my dogs with all they need if they are continually eating grass. It's like taking cows for a walk. Basically is there anything that is missing from their diet that I can supply?

What worming protocol do you use? Do you do yearly fecals and worm if necessary?

Do you worm on a routine? What do you use?

Just curious as to what you all do. And do you have special concerns following dog events?? Have you brought home anything "special" from a dog event?? (We brought home coccidia from a National one year)

Just general thoughts on worming protocols.

My cat's urine volume has more than doubled recently and she's been throwing up nearly every day for about the last week. We are using a food recommend by the vet. The vet rant some test that ruled out diabetes and a UTI.

I wonder if it is time to switch to a new vet.

Stop declawing your cat's... That's so dam cruel, you can easily cut a little bit of their claws (they even like it) instead of taking them out, or just let them run; my cat was 9 years-old and only clipped his claws once, when he was a baby and the rest of the years he used them at the same speed that they grew.
Please stop declawing...

Are you a pit owner who sugarcoats pit bulls? Or are you someone who believes everything you see in the media without actual knowledge of the breed?

I own a pit, but I don't try and hide the fact she's a very gamey dog. I don't hide the fact that I would never bring her to the dog park...I don't trust her with small dogs or with dogs that try to dominate her. She does have playdates.

I also don't hide the fact that she is one of the best breeds I have ever owned. Nor the fact that she is great with my 3 year old son.

While everyone is urging for BSL...It's the fear the media has installed into it's audience that has caused such hysteria. But it's irresponsible pit owners that have caused all the problems. Who's gonna suffer??? The responsible dog owner.

Did you know that 80% of dog bites are from unaltered males? And if you have a dog that is chained and/or unsocialized they are apt to bite?

Give an explaination with your answer please.
