Recently, he's been sticking to killing mice, rats, and bugs, but today, he killed a rabbit that was TWICE HIS SIZE! I have no idea what to do! My father says he'll get my cat put down if this continues, but I don't want that to happen. I'm desperate! Any ideas?

My boyfriend named my Shih Tzu Caesar. I wanted to name him Lucky. Though I really think he grew into the name...he has proven to be the little conquerer!

Hi, I have been keeping a gold fish for 2 years.About 1 week ago, a black halo has appeared around its mouth and distal of its fins & tail,which is progressing proximally, destructing its beautiful long tail! :(
Actually I have bought him from a merchant by the street and he got sick in the beginning , but I gave him some tetracycline powder & he recovered! Actually I'm a medical student and I think its current illness resembles fungal diseases, but now I love him so much that I can't just try another human drug by chance and without consultations, pleeeeease help me... is nystatin safe?! and do you think it's all my fault eradicating its normal flora by that tetracyclin?! :(

Is it to be SURE the animal gets fixed? Why can't everyone get their young pups fixed early, too? Of course I know about health issues doing it early, so then why do shelters do it? See my confusion?
If I could-I would do it as early as possible, but I do wait until 6 months.

Im looking to get a reptile, but I first have to convince my parents, but I want to be sure that I convince them of the one I want.

I DONT want a leopard gecko (bad experience) and I want something a little bigger.

First of all, how long can a Beardy live in a 10 gallon tank. Ive got one 10 gallon, and 1 55 gallon. But the 55 gallon is my dads so ill have to be really good to be able to use it.

What is their personality like, calm and like to be held, jumpy, rather stay in the cage.

How much would you say the whole set up would cost, without the cage.

thanks

My local PetSmart has a 36 inch long, 65 gallon set-up by this company and I am considering buying it. However, I am wondering if the stand is strong enough to support such a large, heavy tank for the long term. Do you have any experience with such a stand? It does not appear to be made of solid wood, has a 'heavy duty' laminate. The company's website did not offer many details. Thanks!

I split a frozen cube in half and drop it into the tank. It floats for a few seconds, then sinks. My betta eats some of it, but most of it drops down, is not eaten and messes the tank. After a few days of this, the tank is smelling something fierce. I started out with pellets and he hated them. He kept spitting them out. I thought that maybe they were too big for him, so I split them in half. Still he'd only touch them if he *really* hungry.

So, just wondering if you know of a better way to feed him the frozen brine without messing up the tank too much. And, how much should I be feedig him and how times per day. How often should I be cleaning the fish tank when feeding this messy brine?

Thanks.

Please help me to understand this, this is something that really confuses me with people.
Why do people get dogs that are long haired and then they shave them?
Why don't they just get a short haired dog in the first place?
Please shed some light on this for me because I really don't understand.

I do understand that some breeds are shaved and trimmed for showing which is fine.
