i need some tips on how to get my foal to mind.
we took her off of her mom about 3 weeks ago. and thats not the problem. they were ready to be apart. but Ember (a little over 6 months now) the foal has no manners. we got a halter on her. and we can get a halter on her fine but when you try to touch her while its on she flips (like if you try to hold the halter. we have no problem getting it off).
now if we go into the pin she is in she pins her ears back. she doesnt nip kick or anything like that she just lays her ears back. and i dont want her going wild on us. she is 1/2 mustang. and her mom Flicka is full blood and is so sweet.
i just need tips on how to get her some manners, halter breaking, and leading. well if you have any ideas on web sites or any tips at all i would love to hear them. thanks for the help.

My bunny runs around in my house and sometimes when he hops he jumps up and starts to shake. Why does he do that?

My horse, Meeko is having a weird problem around his tail. Somehow he has bald patches right where his butt meets his tail and his tail is all ruffled up. I don't think it's worms because he is acting fine otherwise, except he has very bad gas. His stool is fine, his fur looks great, and he is eating and drinking normally. His personality hasn't changed either. He is all up to date with his shots, worming, etc. Any idea of what this could be?

Would you consider breeding Chinese Dwarf Hamsters hard, and any tips?

2007-01-22 10:50:52 · 5 answers · asked by Anonymous

I've read a few of the q/a's on here and they all seem to say that the cages aren't big enough, or that the hamster isn't getting enough run time in the ball. Well my hamsters cage is on 3 floors - has 2 flights of stars, metal bars AND tubes. Not to mention a wide selection of things to do - a wheel which works, a cereal bar, a house, a grass house, wooden gnaws etc etc. Furthermore my hamster gets approximately 3 hours a night in his ball.. where he gets free reign of the bottom floor of my house. I was just wondering if there is anything more I can do. He is only a baby, I'm a bit concerned that he may be too young to be apart from his mother (he wasn't on display in the pet shop, and was in the back with a litter of others who were all tinier than most I've seen). Please advise, I used to breed hamsters and this is far more excessive than I've ever witnessed before.

Thank you for your time x

Some horses I have ridden are a little bit too forward and get fussy when you pull on the reins, especially when you want them to stop or stand still for a moment. Do you have any tips on handling this and tips on smoothing transitions so the horse doesn't jump into a canter or trot?

I want to make something horse related for art. We're using clay. It needs to be something not too easy and not too hard. I also have to be able to incorperate some kind of texture or pattern into the sculpture. I ride western if that helps any. I need to know what to make by tomorrow morning....

I don't mean to profit from the misfortune of others... however:
I am creating a section on my pet sitting website (http://bossoli.com)
about the negative aspects of putting your pet in a boarding facility when you are away.

Can you please share stories about your experiences with boarding your cat or dog while you were away? All in all was it a positive or negative experience? What was your opinion about the cost? Opinion about the care of your pet and the environment of the facility?

I am doing a school project in which I plan to study things about animals like hamsters, gerbils, or mice. Which will be the easiest to work with. Most likely I will be working with mazes.

I have a young male mini rex rabbit. Would you recommend this litter/bedding for him?

http://www.petsmart.com/global/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524441774894&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302047882&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=2534374302023695&bmUID=1169505371071&itemNo=4&In=Small+Pet&N=2047882&Ne=2

If not, what works best for you?!?

Also, do you put a LITTERBOX INSIDE THE CAGE or like do you put some of this litter in the litterbox that's in the cage and also on the floor of the cage....or what?? tell me what YOUR mini rex's cage looks like.

I'm an animal lover! Just in case I start getting abuse ;-)

I'm just curious? What is the price people are willing to put on a puppy's head?

Me? I couldn't do it for any amount of money, the guilt would be to much.
I've heard a lot of people say they would use the money to pay an animal charity. I'm wondering if you lot think that one puppy life is worth thousands of puppy lives?

All throughout my house the walls are lined with wooden base boards and my rabbits won't stop chewing on them!!! I've given them all the hay and straw and cardboard boxes they could ever want and they still chew!!! I've tried saying "No" in a stern voice but I'm not always there to disipline them. I've also heard that the scent of tobasco sauce will stop rabbits in their tracks and it works for a couple days but after it fades they're back at it!! Any ideas would be a great help.

One is female and one male, both fixed and both adults.

She seems reluctant to come out of her cage when normally she loves to run about the room climbing and swinging from furniture.

She would only live in it while I'm sleeping or out of the house, when I'm home I'd let her out. The reason I'm asking is cages in the stores my bunny bites on a "clings" the bars when I'm sleeping.
