I know male budgies are the better talkers but mine still seems a little distant when it comes down to being sociable and perching on my hand.

He will sing and chirp but dosent like any contact.

Hi, I gave my puppy a bath on the weekend cause she stepped in her own poop (leaving a map of the world on our kitchen floor) and was very smelly. She's only about 12 weeks old. Suddenly the day after, she became kinda strange. She had mild diarrhea, lost her appetite (still ate but only about half the amount), wasn't hyper anymore and drinks more than usual. It might not be because of the bath so I dunno. The next day she basically slept all day, whenever we play she's happy but not as energetic as she used to be. What could be wrong?

My parents promised me that the next pet we got would be mine. I've wanted a little dog for i don't know how long. I spent countless hours reaserching dogs !!!!! They got guinea pigs for all my sibs but me a while back( refrazing the promise) even though we got rid of them. They now say they don't want to tie me down with a dog thinking a seventh grader won't have time and they would't have the money or space. Guess what my mom said she wanted a shorkie 2 weeks ago not spending any time to learn how to care for it. and guess what dad brought home for her? Sure he's adorable alright but shouldn't in all fairness he be MY dog after all my mom has 2 dogs and 3 birds now. Saying at first the bird was mine seeing how i feelt about it. Then days later protesting that he was HERs, i knew from the start she was lieing.
So there you go, why am i so frustrated? Do i have a right to be? How can i get over my jelously and just exept i'm never getting my puppy?

Right now I have a 50 gal. tank for my dragon, but I don't really know how to clean the tank, can you please explain?

I have a reptile type carpet but I got it at home depot, as it's the same type of stuff, but I want to switch to tile because the poop stays on the carpet and I know it's not good for them. Which type of tile should I get? Should I buy 1x1 ft pieces and get them cut or what?

How do I clean the tank after I take out the carpet and other stuff? I hear to use hot water and vinger, is that true?

How do I give my dragon a bath if he always tries to jump out of my hands when I'm giving him a bath?

Please help!

I have a couple of cats, there pretty much kittens they were born in April of this year and ive had no problem with them when it comes to cleanliness. I am a very tidy person and I want my house to stay very clean and tidy all the time.

The last few weeks my female cat has been acting up. Every time she eats she wants to put her paws in her bowl and scatter her food around the kitchen. This is driving me crazy!! lol.
I always let there bowl stay about halfway full so that they can eat throughout the day while im working but I am tired of coming home to a floor full of food!! I have to sweep it from underneath the fridge, stove and counters lol.

Any tips on how I can make her stop this?

Thanks.

we thought our new lab, who is now 9 months old, was pretty much housetrained. She sleeps in a crate (and has since we got her) and we initially let her out only to go outside to the bathroom or to play (supervised). After she was about 5 months, she never had an accident inside, and we would let her stay in the kitchen, uncrated and unsupervised. In the past couple of weeks, she has regressed, and has recently gone to the bathroom (#2) in the kitchen when unsupervised, even when (as tonight) she had only recently been let outside for about 5 minutes and didn't do anything.

Any suggestions as to what we can do? Should we go back to what we did when we first got her, and only let her out of the crate when we are in the room paying attention to her or when we take her out to go?

Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Ok, I just got a 2 month year old pup from the shelter. He is a rott/boxer mix. I am pretty sure that the shelter didn't ever take him outside to go potty, because he hasn't had all his shots. So him and his siblings would only go to the bathroom in their kennel and room.
Now, he will only pee on the carpet (and I mostly have wood floors). I tried to stick his nose in it, but he wags his tail. I don't want him to be scared to go to the bathroom in front of me. How can I make him feel comfortable peeing outside? We spend so much time out there, but he will only do it indoors.
Please help!

We have a eight month old yellow lab puppy. We are thinking about getting him a friend. We were looking at a one year old rescue lab.

He is understandingly very sad when we leave him at home alone. Our neighbors tell us that he sits on the side of the house and wines/barks for most of day. The other part of the day he has managed to dig up everything in the backyard. <- We expected the digging.

We have spent a small fortune on toys and bones but it doesn't seem to help. We think that our only option is to get him a friend.

Do you think that this will help the situation (wining / barking / digging)? I've heard in some cases that their could be some animosity from him towards the new dog and could make things worse.

Your advice is appreciated. Thank you!

Also, is a dog expected to hold their pee/poo if accidently left inside all day?
