Large uromastyx, tegus, and monitors are too big.
But bearded dragons and little uromastyx are too small ...
So are there any lizards that fit the size I'm looking for ?

I am talking about cashews, peanuts, walnuts, etc. (for you dirty minded people)

I just got a big bag of this chex mix and it has a bunch of nuts. I really don't like nuts so I have been throwing them away. I thought about giving the dog a couple but I think I read somewhere that they are real bad for dogs. If anyone knows, I was just curious. I haven't given him any just to be safe.

I think that possibly Jingles isn't spayed. Today she was a little well, grumpy. She tried to bite me when I went to pet her. She has never shown any meaness or agressiveness before today. This is weird, for her. Is she [possibly] in heat?

I just got her 3 days ago, and right when i brought her home, set her immediantly in her cage for 24 1/2 hours, without me picking her up, or putting my hands in her cage. Today, I've started to put my hand in the cage, and everytime i do, she ducks her head and runs away!? Or, sometimes, she will hide in a toy and i'll stick my head in front of the toys opening and she'll stick her head out, and smell my hand, the duck back in...:( This morning, when she was in some toy blocks hiding, I picked them up and set it on my lap while i was sitting on my bed, she came out and seemed excited and happy. (she didn't want to go back in her cage! :D) I've done that twice today, and she is still afraid of my hand?! [even if i try to pet her back she ducks, and runs away...] What should I do?

She's 6 or 8 months old. (is that a baby?)

My only rat. (another female on the way soon)

Hello. I have 2 cats.

I think one of my cats is deaf but I am not sure. He doesn't seem to respond to me anymore, and his ears don't really move like they use to.

He has bathroom problems, and I think he has some kind of cancer - he is getting very old.

How can I do like official tests to see if he is deaf?

I have a male betta in a ten gallon tank with a filter and a heater; fake plants and a stump with holes swim through. I want two know if this is a good combo:

- 1 male Betta (Of course!)
- 5-6 Neon Tetras
- 2-3 Otocinclus

My questions are:

- Is this a good combo?
- Will the tetras nip bettas fins?
- Will the betta eat tetras?
- Will otos work with tetras and bettas?
- Are ottos hard to care for?
- How do I feed otos?
- Will neons share betta food or do I have to buy more food for the tetras?

Also my betta attacks his tank sometimes [his reflection I guess] so I put paper on the back and on the right side. He still fights the walls with the paper and he fight the walls without also.

- What can I do about that?
- Will he eventually give up?


Thanks! Answer all my questions thouroughly and I will give you best answer!!

I currently have a 30gal community tank and two small 1-2 gal tanks (possibly for fry?) now i'm thinking of getting another 10-20 gal for keeping the males, is this a good idea?

My plan was to keep the female guppies/endler's live bearers in the community tank and all the males in the 10-20 gal then, when i want to breed them, or when they are ready i put a male and a female into one of the breeding tanks is that going to work?

then once the females are about to give birth, put them into the breeding tank, obviously keeping the fry apart from the parents. I'm not into creating a new strain of guppy, just bringing out the best traits of them, and yes i will be culling the less pretty ones.

I may cross breed with the endlers, are the offspring fertile?

Can i do this with those tanks?

I bought my puppy (about 2 months old, weighs 8 lbs) home on the 26th and took her to the vet the following day with a fecal sample.
The tested showed up that she has Giardia.
Tonight she vommitted some of her meal, but her fecal seems to be fine. The vet put her on a 3 day medication of metronidazole (sp?). It doesn't seem to be effective. I'm worried that it is fatal or extremely severe and my parents would want to give it back to the pet store. The medication is quite expensive too ...

Q:
What would be an effective treatment for giardia?
Is is fatal/severe?
How long does giardia usually last?

Hey! I recently bought my Beta fighting fish, and the shop owner told me to feed it 2 of those little dots of food, every other day. My fish always seemed to be REALLY hungry, so I looked online, and some people say that you should feed them around 2 pellets a day. I then looked at the fish food bag (should've looked when I bought it, but I took the owner's word) and it says to feed it 2-4 pellets 2-3 times DAILY!!!! Who should I listen to?? I have the Betta-Bio Gold fish food.

First off, how many air stones should I have in an 18 gallon tank? Second, what size pump should I have? Third, how does the pump, tubing and air stones all fit together. I have three goldfish books and they dont really explain it.
Thanks for you help!
