My newborn puppy has been hand fed since yesterday with a formala but it hasn't pooped at all. I know it's weird but I'm just worried. She has peed and that's it. Is there a problem?

I was wondering what some good dog training books are. We are taking the puppy to dog training classes, but I like to read about the stuff that I'm doing to get an idea of different approaches and perspectives.

Also, we have a fenced in backyard, but I'm not sure how long it is ok to let the dogs play outside. One is a Tibetan Spanial (very small, 10lbs) and our puppy is a newf/saint mix, but a puppy none the less! I know the spanial won't stay out long when it's cold, but the puppy loves it but I don't want him to get too cold or any thing like that. Also, is it ok to have them unsupervised provided that they are contained?

Hey,
I have six guppies in my tank and I bouth my fancy female guppy already pregnant. I bought one of those floating tanks for her to have her babies in with a divider to protect them from her and other fish.
The only problem is, I don't know when she's pregnant enough to be put in there. I don't want to put her in to early and run the risk of stressing her out and having her abort the fry. I know it isn't easy to tell when they will give birth within the next two days or so, but if someone has good tips, could they please help me?
Thanks.

From my question asked a few days ago, I have decided that I really need to have a marine quarantine tank. Would the following equpment be suitable - 60 litre tank (the largest fish would be a yellow tang), a small internal filter (would be running in the main tank until needed), A small heater, Small rock and light. Would I need any different equpment, and would I need anything else?

My bala shark seems to be really frightened of a slightly larger puffer fish in the same tank, the bala is really jumpy and swims against the glass when the puffer gets near it. Should I get rid of my puffer or my bala or neither, should I leave it alone? What should i do?

I have pet sat a few pets now, and, I have found that i have really enjoyed it, and, I have made a lot of money from it! So, since Christmas is coming up, I was thinking that people will probably be out of town, and, that's a good chance for me to pet sit! So, I was going to make some flyers, but, right when I was about to type, I couldn't think of anything catchy, or, anything to really type. So, do you have any ideas or tips on how to do the flyers? It would be great if you could help me out on this! Thanks,

~ Cockatiel Lover!

Also, is there a good way to really attract customers? Who could I all give the flyers to? Thanks!

We have a 30 gallon tank we put our one 11" koi (nose to end of tail) and our fat little fantail (maybe 4") in from the fish pond since winter is upon us. We brought in just two oxygenators and we got a pump and biofilter for a 40 gallon tank, because they recommended that. We feed them about one tablespoon of feed a day and we put in four snails front the store and two terracotta pots from the pond (they wanted shelter). The water became very cloudy and we found that the filter has fouled just days after setting it all up. We replaced the filter and changed out 1/2 the water. We found high ammonia then, so we added something to control that and we have tried the water clarifier and the bio booster - the water still clouds. The new filter seems to be working OK and we have it running full-on all the time....it has been two weeks now and we keep changing 1/3rd of the water every few days trying to clear it - what is wrong? Could 1T still be too much food? They are indoors.

I was thinking of getting a Guinea Pig as a pet. Do they make good pets? I have 3 cats but they seem good sized that maybe the cats won't bother them? I also have 2 parakeets. How easy is it to care for them? Are they messy? I had pet mice before and they were very messy lol

this isnt a question. but rather a guide for fish for people to genreally steer clear of. just thought that the lives of hundreds of fish were worth 5 points

"sucker fish" aka plecos (uless you have a 50g tank)

oscars (ok if you have a 55 gallon tank)

pacu (dont even bother unless you have about 500 gallons)

red tailed catfish (1500 gallons minimum)

arowana: omg, i love this fish. i have one. but unless you have a tank that is 200 gallons, please dont buy one

dragon gobies (brackish)

any species of puffer really isnt a begginner fish

ANY SALTWTER (lose the nemo, saltwater is hard work)

no bowls for fish

goldfish

any fish is a no-no if you havent cycled your tank!

jaguar cichlids (150 gallon tank)

dyed fish

piranhas (they are catualy not that exciting anyway)

stingrays

generally any brackish water fish

discus

if you do want to keep any of the monsters listed above, contact FishRfine on monsterfishkeepers.com (thats me) id be glad t

He's 3 1/2 mos. old. There are actually 2 puppies. They're brothers and they're passing the illness back and forth. They lose alot of weight because they won't eat. The antibiotics & pedialyte seem to work for a while. But, I don't know what else to do for them.

Okay so I have a dog that does not have fleas, I've checked, checked and double checked. Here's the catch, I just moved to a new apartment but I still have another week paid up on the old one. I went into the old one this morning to grab a few more things and I realized the place is infested with fleas! They must have come from outside while we were moving or from a neighbors apartment. I haven't seen a single flea in the new place so the infestation must have taken root after we'd moved most of everything. I still have things to move into the new place, clothes, blankets, paperwork, a chair. How do I keep these nasty fleas from infesting my new place as well and how do I kill them before my lease is up?

I have a 10 gal tank that is about 4 months old - with and assortment of about 10 mollies/platys. I have recurrent brown algea and I can't seem to get rid of it. I clean the tank every sunday and do a 25% water change and vaccum the gravel. I scrub the tank walls and remove the algae and in 3 days or so it's back! I am running an air stone, and 20 gal filter because of the amount of fish I have in the tank. The water is not murky, and is very clear actually....I have heard it's because I have too much light- then I hear that I don't have enough light! I just don't know how to get rid of it aside from what I'm doing already. Any suggestions....thanks!

I read the bottle and it says several times a day the size of a penny in the palm of the hand for 10 fish. is this only one flake or layers of flakes as thick as a penny? I guess for 5 it would be half that. It does not seem like near enough.

We have a pair of boxers and the female has been in heat. They have tied 5 times in the last few days and we were wondering if each time they tie if that conceives 1 pup or multiple pups? I tried searching a few breeding pages out there but couldn't really find a clear answer. Thanks!
