I have (had) a Curlyhair tarantula. Last weekend he went down into the soil to molt. His abdomen had darkened and he had stopped eating so I didn't worry much. I sifted through his soil completely last night looking for him and he was nowhere to be found. I know he didn't escape becaue I hadn't opened his container since I'd seen him last. When I was sifting through the soil, I found what looked like little pieces of him! Except that they looked like they were the result of a molt. I found some legs (they were hollowed out like the spider had molted) as well as the abdomen (also hollow). I'm just trying to figure out what happened. He was only the size of a dime and this is only (as far as I know) his 2nd time molting. Could this have just been the result of an unsuccessful molt? There were no crickets in his container so I know they didn't eat him. It's driving me crazy! Any feedback is appreciated

I really love animals, especially dogs and really want to work with them as a career. I have thought about an animal trainer but I want to explore my options. I don't really want to be a vet because I don't like to see severely hurt animals. Also, what are good things to study for jobs like this?

1)Do they need bedding?
-My hamster never seems to need bedding because my room is always warm, sometimes its warm enough that he sleeps outside his house where there is no bedding so i stopped using it seeing that i was wasting money. What i did do is leave a cardboard tube in his cage so he can chew it up whenever he wants bedding but does he need real bedding?

2)How do i train him to stop biting me?

3)What other hamsters are out there that are small, easy to find, and not aggressive?

4)Do i have enough space for another hamster?
-the base of the cage is 15x10

I've had my pet bunny for about 2-3 years now, and he's starting to shed a lot of hair. I think it's the undercoat that he's shedding, but the hair is getting to be a real nuisance (sp.?). How do I either stop the shedding or control the little hairs floating around my house?

My sister and I decided to buy a couple rabbits as pets the other day. We are not ignorant pet owners because we have 5 dogs and 7 cats between us. The thing is we need to know what rabbits eat. We already know that the dogs and cats have to stay away from the rabbits and we protect them. So that advice isn't needed.

My boyfriend was doing some yard work and while raking he heard a screaching sound coming from the dirt, and to his surprise it was a baby bunny. He decided to bring it home. I don't want to keep the thing becasuse it's a wild animal and who knows what kind of parasites it's carrying, but I can't put it back outside either because it's so young, it would never survive.

It's maybe about as big as the palm of your hand. (maybe smaller) I don't think it's anymore than just a couple of weeks maybe a month at the most. But we've never owned a rabbit before and i'm concerned about what a bunny this young could eat. I assume they do nurse. Right??
PLEASE HELP!!! I don't want to kill the thing but I don't know what to do with it........

We got a colt about 2 1/2 weeks ago and 2 days ago he started to lose hair, (normal in the morning, big scabby bald patches by the afternoon). We called the vet who thinks it is probably ringworm. He took samples and is going to check under the microscope and also culture them. We were given an antifungal, which we have washed him and all his grooming tools, rugs headcollars etc with.
I know it's really contagious and we are isolating him and wearing gloves when handling him. The person who owns our livery yard has told us that the stuff from the vet doesn't work and we should wash him in cattle wormer and cover the patches in grease. We have no intentions of doing this, but I was wondering if there is anything else we can do to help him recover as quickly as possible because he can't be turned out because he isn't cut yet, and the yard owner is worried about him getting in with the mares, and now we aren't allowed to loose school him now, in case it passes onto the other horses.
