I have a 14yo old mare expecting a foal soon. She was supposed to be due around March but I suspect she will drop it much earlier as she is EXTREMELY heavy! I have worked on Thoroughbred stud farms etc before but this is my first foal I am breeding myself, so I would like ANY tips, suggestions and things to watch out for from any other people who have bred horses before. Like does she need special feeding, or will she do fine on her normal rations? When should I take her rugs off? Should I separate her from her best friend (another, much older mini mare). Also any other helpful tips. The weather here is really hot as well. (I'm in Australia)

I have a miniature horse yearling colt and I can't get him to respect the electric fences because he has such a thick coat, but I can't erect permanent wire fences either as this is a rental property. I was considering clipping him all over so he feels the zap stronger and learns to respect the hot wire, but I don't want his mane growing back thicker afterwards.

Please keep in mind that I live in Australia and we have VERY hot weather at the moment, so he definitely won't miss his thick winter coat if I clip it anyway.

I have 4 dogs (2 stay at my mothers a few days of the week) and a cat. I have had her since she was 2 months old-she's about 10 months old now. As much as I've tried to discipline my dogs, they still like to play rough with her and chase her everywhere. She stays hidden from the dogs on top of tables, countertops etc. When I feed her I have to put her in the pantry which is about 5'x5' so that the dogs don't bother her or eat her food. The dogs have never tried to bite her, but I'm wondering.. can I find her a better home? Or is she alright here?

*I am fostering a new dog I found on the streets. He loves her, but still loves to chase her.

My hamster is eating, drinking and pooping regularly. She just doesn't run on her wheel. Her skin is fine. She seems to be overweight. She is only 5 months old. She seems to be walking slowly, leaning at times, and gasping for air. What should I do?

I am 39yrs old, grew up riding and always dreamed of having my own horse. I live in an area with horse prop. and was given a horse in Sept 06 from a friend of a friend who said she was a great horse, but did not have time and had not ridden her for 1 yr. IShe is under 15hands, but is a bulldog!! When I first brought her home she resisted the bit and tried to buck me off. I had her teeth floated and learned that she had some mouth issues that may have caused her pain. I also had her shod, but she still trips alot with her front left foot. The vet said she has some athritis and swelling in the ankles, but didn't seem too concerned. He said she was in good health other than her hay belly that slowly coming off with reg exercise. I ride her mostly by myself and it is always a struggle..she wants to go home, at times throws her head and twice has gone into feirce bucking fits.once put me in the ER. I am too old to get hurt and don't know if I should invest anymore time or money on her??

I have a female syrian hamster she is around 4 months old i recently bought a male who is now a little over a month. I dont know exactly how old males have to be to breed but i've heard they have to be at least four weeks. I've tried introducing them every day for four days (assuming one of those days she has to be in heat) but the female has twice tried to fight the male and twice ignored him completly. I introduced them in a mutual area so neither would fell territorial or threatened. Does she not want to mate because he is too young or am I doing something wrong? I've heard that when in heat females can freeze in a position with their tales straight up when pet on the back. This is something she has never done. It is possible that I am not allowing them enough contact because i watch them very carefully and while I do allow them to sniff one another, i am very paranoid and seporate them at the first sigh of fighting. Any information is appreciated.

Hi. I live in a small city next to a farm and two houses. We are thinking about getting some chickens. Does anyone know if there are chickens that are just "quieter" than others. Or any other small animals that would be good to get. (no horses or cows; as it states in the house contract) And, does anyone have or know anything about miniature donkeys? If so reply.
~THANKS~

I am aware that a microchip can be placed in a pet for identification purposes, e.g. with name, address, phone, etc. But, I'm wondering if there's such a device available commercially (as is available for an auto) that can be activated if a pet (dog or cat) is lost (or stolen)?

When I was 10 years old, I half owned (not half leased) a 3yr old Paint Gelding, named: Red. I've been looking for him for the last 3+ years. I've finally found him. But...the last 3+ years, unsure of his where-abouts... his previous (more then one) have abused him. And probably almost went to slaughter. The person who has him now, is keeping him forever. But from what she's telling me, he has extremly bad trust issues, gets really tense when someone new is on his back (even though I'm NOT new, but it's been LONG TIME SINCE WE'VE SEEN EACH OTHER). And gets worried about his mouth.

Now when she said some of his new....personalites that have grown on him since he's been abused...The trusting, the tense'ness, and the worried about his mouth.... how is this recorrected? She won't let me ride him, due to liability and stuff, but I would like to know how this can be fixed. I know he'll never been the same horse again, but he deserves a second chance. It's not fair..


thank you
