Other - Pets - September 2006

I ask this because I have never really had a pet that was kept in the house--unless you count goldfish. A few times when I was a kid, we did keep a cat in the house, but mom always ended up putting it back outside because she didn't like having an animal in the house. I have known some people who keep dogs and cats inside, and their houses are pretty clean--but maybe they just clean house religiously.

I want to start riding again, but I heard a few scary stories about horse riding accidents. My dad knows someone who's daughter died because she broke her neck falling off. She was a good rider. Also what happened to Christopher Reeve. I want to start again so badly, but hearing about these accidents is scary. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm moving soon, and I'd love to have my hermit crab in my carry-on luggage. The airline (Nortwest Airlines) permit certain types of pets, but I have not read any regulations regarding hermit crabs on their site.

Has anyone done this? Could a crab in the cabin be considerederd a hazard? Surely no passengers would have hermit crab allergies?

Thank you.

I have a Boer-cross show goat that is not trained to walk at all. He isn't even used to people. With alot of animals, special treats often work to get them used to people. Can anyone recommend a treat for a goat, that will not effect him in any way (muscle loss, tummy ache, ect)

First- I AM NOT TRYING TO SELL ANIMALS TO LABS MYSELF! My problem is that there are some 5 month old stray cats in my neighborhood which I've become very attached to and would like to try to find homes for. I can not find a local shelter that will take these cats since they are technically feral. They have become very trusting of me and allow me to pet them since I feed them daily. I am willing to use my own money to have them spayed / vaccinated, and would like to find homes for them afterward.

However, I know that it's bad to offer free animals, because people will take them just to sell to research labs. I would like to ask for a small fee, which I will then donate to the ASPCA or other such organization. My only problem is that I don't want to ask for too much money, otherwise people won't want to take them. Does anyone have any information that can help? I am in central Jersey if that matters. Please do not recommend an org. unless you know they take strays.

do you own a chinchilla? Im thinking about buying one at the local petstore when i have the money for the pet, cages, foodd,ect.
i was wondering if they are:
1.hard to care for
2.is it similiar to take care of like a guinea pig or hamster?
3.how big should the cage be just for one animal?
4.should i buy a chinchilla from brand name petstore liek petsmart/petco, or should i buy from a local breeder (at petsmart thay are selling a male for 150 dollars, is that alot of money for these animals?)?
5.what are some signs (health wise) too look for when buying a chinchilla?
6.and this is a random question but do you think that if im allergic to guinea pigs wil i be allergic to a chinchilla? lol

thanks in advance.
any other important advice would be great too!

also if you have a chinchilla please tell me how you like him/her and their temperment (if they bite, or are aggressive or not) or any other things you liek about your pet =)

If so, would you recommend one? Can you give me any ideas as to what to expect? How should I rabbit-proof my house? I just want an idea of what they're like to care for, as I am considering getting one.

I have a bunny that is in a pen right now and I am worried about what to do with it when the colder weather hits. I am from Toronto, Canada and it can get very cold in the winter. I am not sure what the best thing to do to keep the bunny warm. I know they like the cool weather over the hot. Please help with info or a site you know of because I can't find anything. Thanks.

My friend keeps her pet mouse in the same cage as her two pet rats. Since they've been together the cage has been giving off this horrible stink. Does something about the two species react in a weird way? It seems to get worse when she leaves...could that be because they are scared?
