Pets - 1 December 2007

I have had one of my rats for quite some time now. A few months ago I got another, younger one. I have had them next to each other in seperate cages since I got them. I wanted to eventually wanted to move them in together. I have tried everyday for the past few weeks to start putting them together. Today, I got the smaller rat a new cage. She is able to fit through the bars and crawled into the other rats cage. They sniff around at each other and sometimes bite. But they will also groom each other and roll on their backs but the harmony never seems to last. Are they going to be okay together or should I keep them seperated?

I'm not new to Chow Chow breed this is my for Chow and 2 male chow. Right now I have a 1 1/2 voilet female that is very well trained and kind spoiled. And my wife and I just got a 20 wk old Red Male chow. He is very good beside when I have to disapline him for little things. He yeps and tries to nip at me. The last male I had I played top dog with and really had no problems braking him of the habits that he had, and it kind of was like talking to a kid. And my female now is the same way. I want the new pup to obey and baically follow verbal orders. But how do I disapline him with "TOP DOG" technics when he is yeppin and nipping at me. It's like he is either afraid of me or he is trying to be in Charge. Can anyone with chows help me out??? Thanks for you time...

Well, this isn't really an urgent question answering or anything. I've come across something magnificent- all five turtles LOVE CORN!!! They attack it like it's their last meal! They're baby RES so when I put a piece of corn in, one of them chokes on it! But it's still determined to eat it! But then another turtle comes along and tries to eat it as well so it's like a tug of war between two of the turtles! It's absolutely thrilling to watch!!! Especially because my turtles hardly eat much of a variety of food. They'll eat like a piece of fruity pebble cereal every now and then- but only if its a red, they love pellets as much if not more than corn, and they'll eat lettuce (I'll leave a large piece of lettuce floating and when I'm not around they'll eat it as a last resort sort of thing and I come back to see a bunch of holes in it). Anyway, I've fed my turtles some corn after chopping it to bits and they're eating it like crazy! So I'm a bit curious, what do your turtles love to eat?

Do they have to hibernate when indoors? What is wrong if the turtle is sleeping a lot and not acting right.. i've heard that if they dont hibernate enough they could die, what do you do so they can hibernate? what are some websites with information about this?

I just noticed a type of pimple on my dog's neck. It's like a tiny balloon, but big enough to hold between my fingers. It's about 1/4 inch long and soft. I could easily pull it off, but I fear it would cause pain and maybe bleed. What can this be?

My sister just brought goldfish home from college and left them here. They are white with orange and black spots. I am actually not sure that they are goldfish, but I think they are. Anyway, we just changed the tank and put tap water in. There are 2 fish and snail. Do I need to put anything into the water, there is a bubble maker thing and little rocks, a castle, and fake plants. Do I need to put chemicals into the water? If I do, what kind? My sister says she usually doesn't put anything in the water. It is almost 9 and I don't think that a pet store is open, so if I need to put something into the water, it will have to wait. Will they live til then?

*P.S. I always do thumbs up or down and I ALWAYS pick a best answer.**********

I was thinking of either getting my new male dwarf hamster a habitrail safari, habitrail playground or, a plastic bin cage. What do you think is the best choice. Please include reason to your answer because i really want my hamster to have the best cage possible for him.

Please don't even mention getting him an aquarium 1 because i do not have the funds and 2 because it will be to heavy for me for when i clean his cage. All answers regarding me getting a glass aquarium WILL BE IGNORED!!


thnx in advance

I know how to tame hamsters, and ive been working with this one for a couple of months, but this is just an evil hamster. Most of my hamsters that bit, were territorial, and only bit in the cage....this hamster (Zeppelin) bites in, or out of the cage, if I kiss him, he bites my face. So, I try to hold him as little as possible, but he has a HUGE cage.

More like 3 cages attatched, 2 are $60 cages that I cut holes in to attatch tubes to, and one is a smaller cage, all attatched by tubes. He has tons of toys in these cages, and lots of treats and vegtables.

Do you think hes happy. I usually let him out for about 30 minutes during the whole week, I have scars on my hands from Zeppelin, and Im afraid ill slam him on the ground from being startled when he bites me (ive had this happen before)

I bought 2 leopard puffer fish and 1 figure 8 puffer and I have read all that I can find about them online. I was hoping that someone could give me more info(I like to know everything I can about my fish)A few things that I could not find were:
1. How to tell male from female?
2. How do they breed and when or what age?
3. Any other basic info that I might not have found online, things that are learned from personal experience?

I have recently bought a male betta. I am starting to feel awful because he is in a tank by himself and i only bought him a 1/2 gallon tank. is that way to small for him? and if its too small why would the company sell it. that would be just dumb since they are made especially for bettas.
