if you watch tv or movies or something. youd say that pigs eat human food left overs and all that edible food trash or something. what do pigs eat exactly though? like daily? and what kind of food treats would you feed them? what happens if they eat dog food? what can they chew on? ive searched yahoo answers for the answer, but it seems as that nobody has asked this question.

I don't want to lug around 5 gallon buckets back and forth to fill my tank. Should I use the hose? I also heard of this product called a "python". How does that work? What would your recommendation be for water changes?

Heard digging above me. Im hearing it constantly. I open the attic door and i hear little squeeky noises from animals. Sounds like babies squeeking almost. Do squirrels make those noises? Also, before i thought i heard a heavier animal up there and when i was moving blankets i thought i heard a growl. I originally thought it was a raccoon now i dont know, never heard the squeeky noises and a lot of squirrels hang around the house. They jump from the tree to the house. What do you think it could be? Whatever is up there has been there for months and right now its snowing lightly.

Just curious what everyones thoughts are on Cheque Drops... They have been around the dog world for a very long time. I know Veteran Breeders that vow by them. A vet that is considered an expert in canine reproduction recommends them and actually claims they can improve the condition of a females uterus. Just curious who had used them..why did you use them and how do you feel about the outcome.

We adopted a cat yesterday. He has been using the litterbox but he has been having diarhea and the poop smell stays in my room. What can I use to get rid of the smell, not just cover it up.

I was at the Pharmacy and saw they have a 3 month supply of Hartz for only 7 bucks that is a topical medicine, similar to how Frontline is administered.

Is Frontline the best? What is the active ingredient besides the brandname? Everyone says Frontline is the best but I went to a vet when I brought my first dog that had a flea collar on and they suggested a pill, which I forgot the name of. So are there alternatives to Frontline in pill form?

And I ask again, Does garlic really keep ticks and fleas off of pets? I didnt hear quite a resounding Yes in my last question so am readdressing this question to see if it is a myth or truth. Thanks for everyones input in advance.

i have a 4 yr. old pomeranian and a full grown cat (tho not a yr. old yet) and just received a puppy....the cat just runs away when the pup comes near but whenever the pup goes near the dog, the dog freaks out....starts snapping and growling if it gets near its cage or snaps and tries desperatly to get away from the pup if the pup goes near him outside of his cage. its just ridiculous! my dog has never acted like this even when we put the dog and cat together! so i was wondering if this situation is fixable, or do i have to give the pup back? and if it IS fixable, what can i do to make this transition easier? also, dont know if this matters, but the 4 yr. old dog is a male, neutered, and the cat is a male, and the pup is female. PLEASE HELP!

We would like a medium-sized to not-too-large dog with short hair. He/she will be an inside dog due to our 6 months of harsh winters every year. We have a small backyard and would be unable to give him/her much exercise in the winter. We want a dog who loves attention and spoiling and would get along well with our teenagers and our miniature schnauzer. I don't want a breed with the energy of a Jack Russell -- that would drive me nuts. I would prefer a mellow lap-dog. What breeds should I be looking at?

I currently have 5 female guppies, a male betta and 3 albino cory cats in my 10 gallon tank. I do water changes one to two times a week, about 30% each time, with gravel vacuuming. My tank does have a filter. Could I possibly get 2-3 male guppies in there? (Yes, I have other tanks I could use for fry: a 29, 5, and 2.5 gal.)

I have a tropical tank with the usual collection of communal fish and i'm considering buying a shovel nose catfish 15" long off a friend of mine who needs the money. Firstly will it get on with my other fish and secondly what would be a fair price for this fish?

One of our largest chickens (she's a mix of light brahma and partidge wyandote) is normally quite clumsy but is a real character, very docile and also very greedy.

Luckily her personality hasnt changed but when i went to go and feed the hens this morning, she tumbled out of the hutch, wobbled a bit stepped forward and fell over. i went to go and get the food and she and the others followed me as usual but she was lagging behind and tumbling about as if she was drunk often to either side.

Her appetite and behaviour is normal, she has just moulted but her feathers look ok, her comb is nice and pink but im conserned that her leg(s) may be injured...she has feathered legs so we cant really see them.

i saw on the internet that bird flu symptoms can cause lack of co-ordination etc

what shall i do? she is one of our favourite hens so we wouldnt put her down...any suggestions as to what may be wrong with her and how to treat it?

Ok, so Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and my two dogs have slightly sensitive stomachs. I was wondering if I could prepare them a special meal as well for this day of "feasting." Any recipes?

They normally eat kibble with boiled chicken...but I want to make them something special!

my rabbit is incredibly aggresive. recently she jumped out her hutch(when the lid was open....it was really scary as well because she jumped incredibly high). as much as we love her, she has destroyed the garden (burrowing, eating all the plants etc). she's 6 months old and I've been told to get a run for her, but it seems so cruel because they are so tiny. Also, i've heard the reason why she's agressive us because of her age and is at that puberty stage. if i get her neutered will she destroy less, and be far less agresive than she is now??

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! My question is I got my Yorkie Poo spayed when she was 6 months old, she will be a year next month. I also have a 4 month Lhasa Apso male, and my little girl seems to be "in heat" despite the fact that she has been spayed. Is this normal? How long will it last? This is my first experience with dogs. Thanks!
