When I hand feed my rat, he takes the food gently, and then puts the food down, and washes himself before eating. He also washes after eating. So how can people say that rats are "dirty"?

Do you value the life of a cute animal over an ugly one? Why or why not?

While I was washing dishes earlier my daughter pulled a chair up to my aquarium and threw her hotdog into the fish tank. By the time I finished washing dishes and noticed that there was a hot dog in my tank all the fish and frogs were tearing it to bits. Mainly the cichlids and the frogs were eating the small peices that were being ripped off by the cichlids. The cichlids do look a bit stressed, and my african clawed frogs appear to be spasming. I'm assuming that this might be do to the extremely high sodium levels in hotdogs. I was thinking that maybe if I were to put melafix in the tank it might help. Can anyone tell me if it would help at all? Are my cichlids and frogs going to die? Do you think it might just pass? I'm so very sad and I would appreciate any help or advise on this situation.

I want to get a wallaby (and yes, they make good pets!) but my fence is only 3 and a half feet tall, I know they could jump over it. What is a moderately cheap way to make the fence taller without buying an entirely new fence? Serious answers, please! :)

when you whisper "hi Lucky!" to him, he'll whisper a nicker back to you, and when you tickle above his mouth, he try's to eat whatever's tickeling his mouth

I've got a 6 year old Irish sports horse who was at peak fitness before getting a nasty gash to his leg which has since seen him confined to his stable for 4 weeks. He is now back out in the field full time and getting hacked out. Im looking for ideas for an intensive fitness programme which I could follow to get him back to peak fitness ASAP but without stressing him out.

I always hear that they are getting mistreated, i donate regularly to the RSPCA, RSPB, NCDL, PDSA etc etc because i am 100% against animal cruelty and i want to help.

But there is always going to be animal cruelty isnt there? because some people are sick and the punishment is not enough.

Is there a petition i can sign to get the government to higher the sentence for animal cruelty?

Why in the world is it becoming next to impossible to adopt a pet. A kitten is preffered by our son (me too-my husband's not too keen on cats-but I am a BIG cat lover, in fact a big animal lover and he respects that and tolerates me for it so far as well)my husband wants to "get" a Staffordshire bull-terrier (I am a dog trainer BTW), you dont just "get" a dog, you must buy such a breed, unless you are REALLY lucky and find one up fo adoption-I've voiced my feelings, as well as my son to my husband, and he agrees we should adopt "a pet in need"-Step#1 finially out of the way,,-but since well over 5 weeks ago, I have posted a "looking to adopt a pet.,even an old(er) pet...............etc." in our local newspaper, on our local internet for our county, asked vets in our area-i e-mailed the Blue Cross for animal homing, no replies!-I have e-mailed "sponsor a dog" (even though they are looking for sponsors only on the tv ad, they have alot dogs in need of a home)I'd take an expectant cat!!

She is 15 weeks old and sometimes she will nibble my arm or hand and I tell her to stop that. Dont know if she is being friendly or if this is aggressive behaviour. I have had her for 7 weeks now and she loves being cuddled and is very playful. But curious as to her nibbling.

If not, what is the minimum incentive you would accept to have the operation done? $10? $50? A 6-pack of beer? Or would you refuse to have it done all together? You name the price.

By the way, no you will not be getting a 6-pack of beer or the like for answering this question. The reason why I ask is because someone is thinking of starting a program that would spay/neuter your pet for free or even pay you to have it done. I am just curious as to how people would feel about this and what incentive it would require.
