How can I improve the humidity of my Iguana's Habitat? I can't seem to get the Humidity above 45%, I went to Petco and bought this humdifier "TropicAire Humidifier and Air Exchanger." My Iggy lives in a 40 Gallon Reptile tank with a metal mesh top. Please some advice on how to improve the humidity?

Ok well I really need your help.! I am so worried about
my puppy. I have two puppies both brothers (by blood)
& we just qot them, but that's not the point really.

We went to the vet today and the older one
taz (i'm most concerned about) but anyways the vet shaved the back of his rear so his stool wouldn't
qet stuck in his fur. and he also commented that his skin was
very raw (really red) unlike his brother.(anqel)
Anqel has fleas and as well as taz.

But I am really worried about taz because the doctor
qave us various cremes to apply to his rear and this tube
that you put behind his neck and all the fleas die off an
one or two days. it's been one day but his beinq yelpinq
like crazy his been in so much pain, it doesn't seem as if tommorow he will be well. Anqel is better but not the best
he is still scratchinq himself

-Please has anyone been throuqh the same thinq or
similar?! sorry it's just that i'm worried. Alot!
should I just stay calm.
should i be worried

I got a 6-9 month old cat off of craigslist a month or two ago and I'm pretty sure that she was a stray and spent all of her time outside before some nice people took her in and rehomed her. The problem is, every now and then she tries really hard to get out of my house and I live in a city and don't think it's a good idea to let her be an outdoor cat. Is there any way (beside waiting for her to grow out of it) to get her to stay inside? Any help would be appreciated.

my ferret has been sick for a few days and im sure her days are numbered. her hind legs are weak, she cant move them at all, and when she tries to move and fails, she gives up. she also cant control her bathroom problems. usually when she gives up, she just goes ling there, her poop comes out dark dark brown and its sticky and gets all over her. do i need to take her to a vet to get cured, or is she really dying.

Ever since a few days ago, after my puppy eats, he carries his bowl into the other room and chews on it (he's still in that chewing stage). Well, tonight he picked up his bowl of water and dumped it out on the floor while I was on the phone. I had to get off and clean it up. I told him "No!" and then I fixed him another bowl of water. Not a couple minutes later, he had that dumped on the floor again and was carrying his bowl in his mouth. I gave him his food bowl after the first time he did that, because I don't keep him food where he can get it all day (because he will eat it all).

anyways, my question is: Has your puppy ever did this? He just did this today? and my dad told me to keep the water up from him until he goes over there looking for it. But I don't know.. Could he just be attracted to the bowls? Do you have any suggestions?

He's a yellow labrador. and he's getting to be well behaved other than this incident.

Thanks in advance.

We have an American Eskimo dog, and he came in one evening with his hip and leg shattered by a coyote, should we get a big dog that will keep the coyotes away? Or set traps for them, or what do you all do?

my dog just passed today while I was at school. My uncle told me that he passed. My mom and dad both said for me to mop and everything to get rid of the smell. I had mopped with HOT water and I scrubbed. Is there anything else we could do?? We have linoleum floors.

When I hear about animals who are tortured I want to throw up. There's a show running on HBO right now about PETA and the things they see as they try to rescue lab animals, etc. and when I see that the show is on I have to turn the channel. I even have a real hard time going to a shelter that euthanizes the animals that aren't adopted because when I look into their precious eyes and I know the chances are they will be killed evenually. I really wish I wasn't so weak. Please tell me what you think.

I have 2 turtles about 2 inches wide and a 30 gallon tank. I used to have 1 turtle about the same size and never had any trouble keeping the tank clean. Now I'll clean the tank and 2 days later it looks like I haven't touched it in months. I understand that there is more waste with two turtles but I never thought it would be like this... I have a really nice filter, a light, a basking dock and turtle rocks on the bottom but all of a sudden there is bright green stuff all over everything and the water gets so murky you can't even see through it!! Does anyone know of and products or animals that I could put in there to slow down this process?? I love turtles but this is getting insaine taking the entire tank apart and cleaning everything every other day... Thanks!

Do I need to have an UNDERGRAVEL water filter for my 2 baby red-eared sliders?

The water filter I have doesn't go under the gravel. I don't know if this means that the turtles' poop would most likely end up plugging the water filter if it's not under the gravel. I don't know if that would even happen. I'm totally new to this.

I have 3 young male cats. The all get along and are a year apart each. My middle cat is half siamese and half himilayin. He rubs up against everything (i.e. door frames, wall edges, your leg), but if you bend down and pet him, he leans away from your hand, or lets you pet him and looks miserable, or just gets up and walks away. The only person he lets pet him is my 7 year old son. He will jump up next to him and cuddle with him. We've never beat my cat or anything. He's 2 years old now and still hates being pet. What's his problem?

This afternoon I walked him and he walked fine. Then at 5 I walked him and he kept pulling.

Why?

Do I need to keep on working with him? Or is he just being a brat?

He is a Lab/Rotti/Husky.
