If you have a rabbit, hamster, guinea pig, or other similar small animal, please help me out. Did you get your pet from a pet store, animal shelter/rescue, friend/relative, breeder, or somewhere else? If you did not adopt from a shelter or rescue, why not?

I'm not trying to induce guilt, I'm just trying to find out why so few people adopt these animals from shelters and rescues.

I found a question on this site where someone was wondering what to do about a cat that had a deep cut and they had no money for a veterinarian. The question was closed to new answers and it upset me to think that the cat didn't get help.

Here is a list of links in case any of you need to get help for a sick animal and you can't pay.

its only been in the last couple of weeks he has been digging in the same spot in the back yard. Each morning we have looked out our kitchen window to see that same spot of dirt dug up, even though the day before we filled the hole up and patted it out flat. We have tried telling him off, we have tried ignoring him, we have tried telling the hole off, we have tried giving him more attention and all sorts of doggy toys to entertain him, we have tried sprinkling pepper in the spot that he likes to dig, we even put a steel step over the spot (and somehow he managed to climb under it and dig another hole)... None of those things have really detered him from doing it. I love my dog but am out of ideas!

One week after bringing our new hamster home, she had 6 babies! 2 babies died about a week later and we're unsure why. The rest have done very well are so cute. However, yesterday one was weak, could barely walk and later died. Today, we have another one acting the same! Since they appear to be done nursing from their mother, I put a little bit of water in the cage, as they can't reach the water bottle very well. We don't know what else to do.This is very confusing! They seem fine one day and suddenly the next day they're not.

I have a yearling stallion that I'm fitting for my first halter show. I leave a light on in his stall from 6 in the morning till 9 at night. He also wears a medium weight blanket all the time and hood when it gets cold. He has started to shed but my show is in March and he is still pretty hairy. I don't have a horse vacuum but I use a mitt and brush him every day after I get home from work. They say that body clipping should be a last resort but I do have a good pair of clippers but not alot of shaving experience. Any other advice?

My mother lives beside a large inclosure that includes horses, goats , ducks, rabbits, sheep and other small animals all on about 8 to 10 acres. My problem is, well for one, the horses are corral in a pen that is less than a quarter of an acre with hardly anything to eat or drink, their up to their chest in mud, fecies. The goats and sheep wonder about with broken legs and are alway getting out of the enclosure on the road which is a busy highway and eating up my mothers yard , trees and dear plots.She has called the sherrifs numberous times and they cant seem to do anything about it The poor animals are literaly dying off by numbers . Please reffer me to someone that can help. She lives in crawford county illinois.

Okay, here is the problem. My sister has a gray fox under her trailer. Her son was outside of the fence because she wouldn't let him near it. The fox came from under the trailer and jumped at him showing it's teeth and growling. Luckily, the fence seperated them. She called animal control and they said they couldn't do anything. They told her that she needed to hire someone to come out there. She is a single mother with two kids. She does not have a whole lot of money. She lives paycheck to paycheck. The fox has either had babies or rabies and showing that by it's aggressive behavior. The gray fox is endangered. I would think that the wildlife comission would want to protect it from becoming extinct and find out if she does have babies and protect them from getting hurt. Am I wrong? What can she do to get rid of it without getting hurt herself? Does animal control have to come out for a possible rabid fox? Can't shoot it, she will go to jail or fined.

do you think it would be sanitary to keep old blankets to use in place of straws for horses stalls and wash and dry them and reuse them as bedding? maybe 10 or more old blankets on a rubber matt per stall, and then change them for 10 more blankets after the rubber mat underneath has been sanitized or what ever they do with the mats?

Ive had rats for years and Ive never seen one do this before..I'll explain:

I got a new rat today and he's still petrified of everything. He's been hiding in the corner all day..now he finally moved into a tube I have in there..

One of my other rats approached him and the new one squealed at him. The old rat then turned around, and backed into the tube the new one was in, butt first. Then he wiggled his butt around a little and came out again. He did this a few times.

what the heck, is he doing?

Any information would be helpful, if you need more details just let me know. Thanks in advance.

As always, I feel the need to add, rat haters need not reply. I know you hate them, and I do not care. Thank you, have a nice day

We took in a stray a month ago, and he and my other boy dog have to mark each other's territory all day-even after coming inside from their walks. We got them both neutered today and I'm hoping this will help.

What are some good techniques that work? I've met people that have trained their dogs so that they NEVER go in the house, and they can just open the door and the dogs do their business and come back in w/out wandering off. I don't know how they did it. Please help!

1 is a Rat Terrier Mix and 1 is a Mini Dachshund, both about 1 y/o.
