A friend keeps his rosy boa in my classroom and feeds it rats. In the last month it has refused 4 prey items, has not eaten and is currently shedding. I think the last time it ate was October 14th. Could the snake be sick or is this normal behavior?

After weighing the options before me -- to breed out my first
generation labradoodle or not -- I have decided to go ahead and have
him neutered. Henry is now 12 weeks old. When I adopted another dog @
12 weeks of age, he was already neutered. But my vet said that they
usually wait (due to maturity, etc.) until 5 -6 months of age. Is this
normal?

my dog had an accident a few weeks ago,i left him tied in my backyard waiting for someone to pick him up,but i realized too late that i forgot to call a person to pick him up! he ended up spending the night there he tangled himself in his leash(hes only 5-6 months old and being cage trained,not really used to a leash)
and my neighbor,instead of helping him,called animal control.
they just removed him,and left a notice on my door about what happened and where to pick him up for when i got back the next afternoon.
so long story short we found him,and brought him home,
very happy to have him back with the family...
i was 17 years old at the time,
i just turned 18,and we got some fines and summons to court about this today in the mail,
and they are all for my mother! who was nice nough that weekend to pick up my dog for me, because i still dont drive yet..it turns out, that because they asked her for her id,they put everything in her name!
he is scheduled for liscense/shots fri.

I have 2 baby red-eared sliders. They're a little over 5 cm big.

I'm going to get a bigger tank soon. I'm thinkin' 20 gallons.

Do you think I will eventually need to get a bigger tank someday...? Or is keeping them in a 20-gallon tank forever good enough?

I just don't want to get a huge 60-gallon one... especially if I spend all that money just to find out they die the next day or something. I would feel ridiculous. And I don't even know where I would fit such a gigantic tank.

And is it true that the turtles will grow faster if I keep them in a bigger tank?

Hi!
I'm quite interested in crossbreeds (but please tell me if you think I shouldn't be) - I won't take offence unless you're really rude! lol everyone's entitled to their opinion and I appreciate your advice.
So, anyway to cut a long story short, I really like crossbreeds (mostly poodle crosses) but I am honestly NOT interested in all this designer dog buisness. What I am interested in is getting a puppy that suits me.
So basically, what I want to know is if you think a cavapoo (cross between cavalier king charles spaniel and poodle) or a cockapoo (cross between english cocker spaniel and poodle) would make the best pet. Or if neither, can you reccomend another breed?

Thank you!!

From Beccy xx

Sometimes I get so very scared that Im going to do something wrong and my hamster is going to die.... I dont know I have never had a hamster before but I always do what I am supposed to. Cleaning his cage, feeding him, etc.
Well does anyone else do this or am I just plain crazy? LOL. I have had him for about a month, his name is Tweak because hes so twitchy and also after Tweak from South Park.

My sucker fish (algae eater) is really aggressive towards my other fish ( goldfsh). Every time they come down to pick at the rocks he goes wild and chases them plus it looks like he nips at them. I don't want to kill him because he has gorgeous coloring plus it mean. Is there any way I can fix the problem?

I rescued a poodle off the streets, got him neutered and the vet thinks hes about 1 1/2 years old. For some reason he growls at my younger brothers (16 and 14).

He has a sweater on ( he has very short fur and its getting cold ) and whenever my brothers touch his mid back he tries to bite. Sometimes he just growls.

I dont get it because he is just one of the sweetest dogs i have owned.

He is very good with my young nephews ( ages 8 and 6).

I have 3 boxers.They are all from the same breeder,but different litters.The oldest male is 3 years,the other male is 8 months and my female is 18 months.The breeder said they were all of show quality.When buying them,I had no intention of showing them,but now I want to.My aunt has showed her labs for 17 years,so I talked to her about it,she told me that because Jake(3 yr old) was white in color,I wouldn't be able to show him.He's also neutered.I didn't realise that a dog had to be a certain color.Is there any way to get around this?And who came up with that rule?????
I brought them to a novelty charity show once and Holly(the female) got best in show.
