I would like to see a picture if possible. I think it'd look like pellets

I have seen people have answered a question like this one but I would like to see photographic proof

I want to get a pleco fish ( the fishies that eat algae off the side of your tank) but i don't know if it would have enough food. Right now I have only one beta fish and I havent cleaned the tank in about three months. There is a film of green algae on the side. I was wondering if the pleco would eat alot of algae fast or if this supply of food would replenish itself faster than the pleco can eat it...........if the pleco would eat this and fast, is there like a type of food you can buy at a store to feed the pleco until more algae grows?

On my way to the vet my cat somehow escaped our of my vehicle while I was driving. I looked for him every where but the area was just too vast of an area to cover entirely. I was upset but some small part of me kinda didnt like him. I knew he didnt care for me much either. He seemed to like my friend though. He hated to be pet and torn up my stuff. I am left with over a dozen scratches from his wrath. He was my first cat, I am dog lover but in a apartment having one would be too demanding. Anyhoos, I found a stray and I dont know if I should keep it or take it to a pet shelter. I have given her/him the name Joe for the time bring. I want to keep it but honestly maybe the last one escaped for a reason. Then again my husband is in a different state and I am started to be annoyed with being alone. I dont know.. what do you think?

Hi! I really want to get a seahorse. I've been researching for days and here’s what I found (just wanted to OK it with you guys (&ask a lot of questions lol)

Alreat, so I'm planning on getting a pygmy seahorse aka dwarf seahorse aka hippocampus zosterae. I have a question already: Does anyone know where to get it? I would like to have it captive breed.

For the tank set up I have another question: On many websites it says 10 gallons are too BIG?! They say that I would have to feed them a lot, as they only eat live food such as brine shrimp, which are tiny. It also says that I would need 10 dwarf seahorses! They say for a beginner a 2-5 gallon is best! What do you guys think?

Here’s the tank set up:
5/10 gallon tank,
black sand (bought at pet store)
sponge filter<---any recommendations btw?
Some plants (live&fake)
driftwood
heater

If I got the 10 gallon I geuss I would have 10? If i got the 5 gallon 2? idk! I also might get some hermit crabs (small ones)

I went to visit a abbey, and they have 40 or more goats, the goats seem to be well taken care of. There have been 3 mother goats that have passed after giving birth, the kids are doing fine and other mothers have been feeding them and we are bottle feeding them also. They told me there bellies were swelling up and white foam was coming out of there mouths. If you all have any advice we would like to take care of this heard.

My rabbit is beginning to get very moody and she is normally very nice. She isn't coming to the cage when I open the door anymore. She's gotten HUGE in the past 3 days but her stomach hasn't gotten hard yet. And her nipples are starting to show. Help! Am I going to be a grandma or not?!!!!

he has had a hole in his foot for the last five years of his life. he is a german shepherd and weve tried everything from exploratory surgery to blue coat to try and heal it. eventuelly it healed but then his pad brok open again and for two years it has been a constant open wound hes on antibiotcs everyday and therestill is no healing visible we have it wrapped twenty four seven and we soak it in epsom salt. we aldso have come to the conclusion that most the nerves in his foot are dead so he feels no pain. and we got him in this condition and have done everything in out power to save his leg. he has been so close to amputation a few times. and the vet still doesnt know what it is after five years. and there is another german shepherd with the same problem but all up and down his legs not just on the pad. does nayone have any answers?

I know that PetSmart only carries one gender at a time, due to the fact that rats tend to.....multiply if they find any way to get to the opposite gender, and the possibility of accidently selling apregnant rat.

It's a good Idea for them to do only sell one sex, however, I'm looking for a young male, so pregnancy isn't really an option XD

Thanks :)

Or, if a horse can carry x percent of its body weight, could a dog also carry x percent of its body weight? (So a very large dog could carry a very small child?)

Is there something different in the physical makeup of horses that make them more suitable for riding? Does it have to do with breeding or can wild horses hold the same amount of weight as domesticated horses?
