I have a Jack Russell, and a Three legged motherly lab....Inside with me. I want to hear about any related experiences. I want to be informed before I jump into a commitment I may not be ready for.
I also have four daughters ages 3,7,9, and 11. They are all use to small animals because I had a pet rat for two years. He passed about a year ago. Any thoughts anyone?

I just recently notice a black like scab on my hamster, it is kind of underneath his fur. I think it might be him biting or scratching himself. He does not seem to be in any pain. He has his normal routine of sleep, eat, and exercise.

Why do people (new and experienced) in the horse world think they know it all? You can NEVER know everything about a horse....it's always a learning experience, so why do so many people "know everything?" There are a couple of people at my barn who are always giving "advice" when its not needed. I am the type who likes to work things out my own way (after all, I know my horse better than anyone else) so when I don't take their advice they get all crabby with that "I told you so" attitude. They also give me dirty looks when I hand feed my 2 year old treats. He's not mouthy AT ALL, and I don't even give him treats everytime I see him, so can't they just butt out? This just drives me crazy....what gives? Is there anyone else who feels the same way?

We have problems mostly when trying to stop after cantering or jumping, & sometimes with making round circles. He doesn't seem to always respect me & we don't always "flow" together. If I pull on his mouth or get angry when I try to make him listen, it just makes it worse.
I think he has to learn to yeild to pressure better (which would get him to step over willingly, lover his head when asked, stop, etc). I want him to be able to relax and think when he's asked to do something (like stop or bend) or when in an emergency situation (like he's pulling his own head because of a lead rope caught under his foot). Do you know of any exercises or training methods that could help him yeild to pressure better and stop, relax, and think about the task at hand instead of tensing and resisting?

They were born approx 2 yrs ago and have lived together. They have always got along but two of them had a bad fight approx 2 weeks ago, both were bleeding from the neck down. i seperated them for 24 hours then re introduced in the bath and put the cage in so they could escape if neccessary. They have been fine and ate and slept together since. But again they have had another fight, why has this happened. they have had enough food & water. After the last time I have bought toys and chew so they can not get bored & I cannot see a reason why they have fought.
I have now seperated them but one of them will have to live alone.
Can they live alone?
Why did the fight start?
When can i re introduce them?

I've been on here for 15 minutes, and already I've seen two "jokes" about animal cruelty! What is up with that?! You don't see people going under "Parenting" and joking about killing children (or boy, I hope not!)?

We have a light in our yard to illuminate around the edge of our pond - it has worked well for a while. Last night it returned and killed another duck. We don't want to kill the fox but we want to save our ducks - I've watched them all grow from little babies barely able to hop around in our yard, learning how to fly and now fully grown. We've put out live traps but everyone has told me it's impossible to catch a fox. Does anyone know of anything - powder, liquid, etc. that you can maybe sprinkle on the ground to keep foxes and coyotes away???? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Ok well this morning I went to eat at McDonalds but that is not the point... My mom point in the direction to the tree and said "Oh my Gawd I tink it is dead" Me having no clue what she is talking about I looked up to see a kitten in the snow freezing to death almost dead!! (note: It just snowed like 4 or 5 feet here and when we were in town it was like about 6 degrees) But any way she screamed at me to get it so I got out of my csar and picked it up...It eyes were goopie and it's legs were frozen to its stomach...Ice was al over it I was very pissed off that i started crying...We decided to wrap it up in are fur coat...We were going to bring it to the humane society but de cided not too... We had to keep it...His names Mac..At first it was Big Mac but decided Mac instead...He keeps sneezing and his eyes are swollen we call to see if it was feluke but they said it didn't sound like it...they said it sounded like a cold..So what do you think about abandonment of animals and cruelty????

I have wanted a ferret for years and have done all my research. I am finally able to have one where I live. My apartment is baby-proofed and I found a local vet who deals with ferrets and I have alll but picked out the exact ferret I want already from the store (its a Marshall ferret too!)

I want ferret owners to give me brief answers on you favorite piece of ferret advice. What is that one toy, treat, shampoo, or whatever, you and your fuzzie can't live without? The one thing you wish you knew before?

I'm interested in buying this horse( http://horsetopia.horse-for-sale.org/classifieds/ad165306 ) but she is green and I'm a beginner.
Would it be wise for me to pay for training while i tkae more lessons.
Or should I just buy a more experienced horse?

I tried searching Yahoo and nothing came up. I've already made treats with crushed up corn, flour, and water. Do you know of any other good recipes that my goats would like?
