My work has a parakeet that they keep in the office. They dont really seemed to be concerned about the birds wellbeing. They keep it in a little office, which most of the time is unoccupied. The heat gets turned down to about 55 at night and on the weekends. I change its water everyday so it is fresh. What should I do?

I have 2 female guniea pigs who are approx. 8 months old. Sometimes they are a little bit bad tempered with one another perhaps due to being in season. However one guinea pig constantly picks on the other one for no reason. I was wondering if it would be kinder to seperate them into 2 cages or will they then become lonely (as I know it is important for them to have companionship). Any ideas??

Badgers have been refered to with comic connotations for a couple of years or so now. I can remember a time when badgers weren't particularly amusing and pu55ies, penguins and beavers were the only real stock comedy animals.

The other day I was reminded of that bloody annoying internet page thing that was sent as a joke where it went "Badger badger badger badger badger badger, Mushroom! Badger badger badger... etc. complete with brightly coloured animation.

Was that the turning point - or am I forgetting something of greater significance?

And are beavers still funny, since squirrels have moved in on that territory?

My brother sold his house early and is going to stay with me for two weeks while his New house is being built.
My problem is my Nephew is a typical untrained spoiled bratty ...and is ALMOST 4 year old.
And he has already terrorized their own poor dog that had to bite the kid in self defense..
My dog is a very smart 3 year old Doberman male named Troy.....who is not going to put up with rowdy savage behavior
I warned my brother That I will not except any rude and physical abuse towards my Dog ...And if he cannot control his son 100% of the time, than do not step foot on my property with him.
So my brother suggested that I write up an agreement that if anything happens So my dog or I will not be liable ....Is this a good Idea?
What should I do ?

I read a poem on horses as a child that suggested that you could tell a horses personality from how many white socks it had:-
One white sock.....
Two white socks - steady and slow
three white socks...
Four white socks - mind how you go!

1. Does anybody know the rest of this poem/superstition?
2. Do you agree that horses with four white feet are more difficult to train than those with less?

i'm looking for a good pet, i've had two guinea-pigs before. but they both had to be put down. i've asked my parents for a cat or dog but they say they are to much to look after. I would like a small animal that is easy to look after and that lives indoors, or a bird that is quite cheap and can wistle or talk. anyone got any ideas??

Seen any hard animal inescapable cages on the internet? That won't break the bank. To hold a chimp etc?

Additional Details: I have legally owned my chimp for some time. Hes getting bigger and someone else takes care of him. Soon I'll move him nearer to me. I simply wanted additional best cage info. on mammals from Yahoo users if they've had big cages bought on the net before.

Here is some issues I have with Peta and my views:
1) Peta believes pets should have a vegan diet
THATS RIDICULOUS-As for animals God made them omnivores or carnivores.
They are meant to eat meat. They are not humans and
therefore the proteins and vitamins/minerals they get
from eating meat is very beneficial for them as they
cannot get this type of nutrition anywhere else.
2)PETA is against animal products
Our ancestors survived by hunting for raw meat. They
survived winter conditions because they used animal
furs to keep them warm. And if one of your relatives have a diseased ailment they are getting medications due to animal testing.
3) We are living longer and healthier due to meds.
Animal testing needs to be done on certain products including cosmetics and shampoos to assure safety.
If PETA tells me animal testing is ok for medications
but not for cosmetics or hygeine products then PETA IS A HYPOCRITE!

My hamster has lots of scabs on his back, there only used to be one or two but now about 1/3 of his back is FILLED with scabs. At the places where he has scabs is totally bald and his pink skin can be seen. He doesnt seem to be in pain or itchy at all, but by looking at the tons of scabs I know that its not natural. This is my 1st hamster so I dont know whats wrong. He is nearing 3 years of age... is he going to die?

So I'm the proud new owner of an adorable little female rabbit. At the pet store where I found her (it was a small pet store) The sign said Mini Lop but she wasn't a lop so I asked them what breed she was and they weren't sure and said that she is not a dwarf but they think she is a miniature. But I looked that up and there is no "miniature rabbit" there's the mini rex but she looks nothing like one. I'm not sure if she is a Dwarf rabbit either since her ears are fairly long and she isn't very small for a baby. I'm taking her to the vet in a few months to be spayed but I'd really like to know what breed she is before then, if someone could tell me what breed she is by looking at her pics below I would really appreciate it!!
Thank you

My rabbit:

It is covered with fur, but the fur looks damp and the skin underneath is reddish with a whitish dot in the middle of the bump. I've tried to clean it out with a q-tip and water, but was hesitant to put Neosporin on it. It doesn't seem to bother him--he's eating and behaving normally. Suggestions?
