Pets - 25 November 2007

Ok, I have two sweet little boy rats and they currently live in a 20 gal aquarium (bad I know, but I haven't found a cage I like yet!). Now I'm going away over Christmas to see my parents (who live about 13-14 hours away) and I'll be gone for about 4-6 days so I can't take them with me but I haven't got anyone who can come over and look after them either, so I guess my question is...What do I do with them?? Do I just leave a tonne of food in there,How long would be ok to leave them. Are there "Rat Boarders" kinda like dog/cat boarders lol.

p.s. please don't say just kill them or whatever, intelligent answers only please ta :)

The neighbors next door have three cats that constantly go on my car, leave footprints (and scratches!) and sometimes even poop in the garage. I have spoken to said neighbors and they've done nothing. I purchased a spray to keep the cats away and it appears to work for a few hours then the cats just begin again within hours. It becomes quite expensive for me to keep doing this. I'm stumped on what to do.

I bought my Corn Snake yesterday and he traveled in a car for 6 hours. The petstores are all out of pinkies for the snake and it was last fed on last Saturday. I will have the mice by tommarow hopefully. Shouldn't he be fine by tommarow night since he is on a schedule of one mouse a month?
HELP!!!!!!!!!!

My bearded dragon that i've had for 6 years won't eat! I've tried feeding him crickets, meal worms, and lettuce. He hasn't eaten in about a week and a half! All he does is try to climb up with glass cage walls and scratch everywhere. He is shedding, but i don't think this has anything to do with it. Any ideas?

My fiances daughter was here Thursday and our puppy is a very happy and excited puppy and greets everyone by jumping on them (he is a boxer mixed) we have been working with him alot but on this particular day my fiances daughter came over and the dog was playing with her as she plays with him and jumped on her and scratched under her eye like a small dot and a small line then it also caught the inside of her lip which swelled a little the next day. Well now the mother is demanding a copy of the dogs vet records which we have no problem providing but dont want it to be used against us so told her she can see them but she cant have them and she was very irrate and threatening to sue us and have the dog taken away from us. Now I am really confused is this something that can really happen is there anything we can do to prevent her from doing anything.. Please help a very stressed family...

I've wanted cichlids for the past year or so, but I have no clue what size tank I should get.
NOTE: I don't want to spend over 500 dollars on the tank setup(not including fish)

I own 5 mississippi map turtles and one of my biggest just died. One of my turtles seem to have white spots on his shell, and I've tried to brush it off with my nails and a toothbrush but it won't come off, but he still seems healthy and still eating, and my biggest who has no signs of the infection just died. I found him at the bottom of the tank, not moving, his head tucked in his shell, Can he be hibernating? it is the cold season, but then none of the other turtles are like that... I can't seem to find any explanation for his death, would anyone out there know why?

I was actually unaware that Mills even exists until about 2 years ago. If you don’t know what it is you should read what’s on the link below, it’s a very serious matter. Let me know your opinion.

at our neighborhood dog park there are owners who bring their mean dogs which start fights with other dogs. i have had mine attacked 3x in the last few months. today i talked to a guy and said his dog was attacked that day and the last time he was there. when it happend to me the owner grabbed the dog and left without saying anything. i was too worried about my pup to go after her. the guy today says the same dog did the same thing to him and the owner told him that if his dog couldnt stand up for himself not to bring it to the dog park. there are about 5 regulars who bring their mean dogs, what to do about it. stop going? how to regulate this.
