I have had cats and dogs before, but never a bunny and Id love to learn about how to care for them. How to you litter box train a bunny? What type of litter should I put in the box? When can they have vegetables, and what's good for them? I also have a 5 month old baby and want to know if that will be an issue, although I don't really think so. What do you think?

My husband was moving our shed last night and came across a nest of baby bunnies. They were hopping about with their eyes open, and seemed fine. We put them back when we were finished, and they are still there this morning, but no sign of mother. Are they old enough to fend for themselves, or should we be worried?

I have recently bought a 3 year old Paint Mare that continues to chase our young cattle. We have never had any horses do this over and over like she continues to do. Does anyone have any ideas on what we can do?

I just bought my first horse, and she is being broke right now to ride and has already been ridden and is great with ground manners. I am a full time worker and was wondering how some of you fit time for your horse if you work an 8-5, and if it's bad if you only see your horse 2-3 times a week? Like many full time white collar workers I get the weekends off, and would be close to my horse so I may only be able to spend 1 or 2 horse twice a week during my work week, but all day on the 2 days I have off. Any suggestions? I just want my horse to feel loved and not hate me or forget her training because I'm not seeing her every single day. All suggestions and advice are greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Am I weird? I've always liked the smell of my pets foot pads, especially after they've been sleeping. Guess it must be cuz they sweat through 'em. But it just smells so warm and soft and lovely.

I'm being totally serious. I just want to know if anyone else has the same experience.

i have a hamster. he has a metal cage on top of his tank to give him more space to roam. he has plenty of things to chew on. he has two wooden sticks that were made for chewing (bought them at a pet store) and even a big flavored log for him to crawl through and chew on...its made from alfalfa and honey which is also in his food so we figured he would go NUTS over it...but no. he chews the bars on his cage and avoids the log...and the sticks. when he chews on the bars the noise is really loud and we have to take it off the tank and put the tank lid on so we can sleep at night. is there any way to stop him from chewing on the metal and get him to chew on the log and all that other stuff we gave him? im not only annoyed with the noise, but im afraid he is going to hurt himself. there is no other room his cage can go in.

My aunt said she can get me a free duck for a pet and that would be cool....I live on a lake, so is there a way the duck can live in my cove, but still be my pet, or then would he be a wild animal, is there someway to keep him near my dock, but still have room to be with the other ducks in my area. Or since i dont have anywhere to keep a duck besides the lake, should i just pass up her offer on the duck altogether

I have always loved watching the wild ducks and just wish that they would let me pet them and hand feed them, would a domesticated duck still fare in the wild, and still be considered a pet

thanks

my horse (Lee) turned 2 years old last month. I have put an english saddle on him and a tightened girth. He was gelded last June(2006). I am going to begin training him this weekend..Lee is a spoiled bratty horse but he is now learning that he cannot get his way but he is being very very pushy and won't listen most of the time. What I am concerned about is when I first get on him~will he buck?rear? bolt? or what? How can I keep him calm and teach him to not rear, buck or bolt? I have 3+years experience with green horses(mostly mares) but I have never been the one to sit on a horses back for the first time...what should I expect from Lee?

My husband just told me about this program where people foster soldier's pets until the soldiers get back home. I couldn't find anything on the web. Any hints?
Also, is it very hard to foster animals? I'm thinking about having to give it back after growing attached to it...
Any thoughts?

In about 2 weeks I will be bringing a rat home, but my mother has some questions about them. Do they bite? Are they smelly? Nocturnal? What do they eat, sleep on, play with? How much care do they require?

They had a story about it on The Today Show this morning. They seemed to draw the conclusion that it MIGHT be useful to have if your pet develops a serious illness like cancer, but if your pet is basically healthy it wouldn't be worth the trouble.

Apparently only a small percentage of Americans currently insure their pets.

Do you have pet insurance? Why or why not?

I am saving up to buy two girl rats.
I have a few questions, if anybody could answer from experience i would appreciate it greatly!

How much do rats cost roughly?
How much is their food?
How much is their bedding?

Would i be able to care for them properly on wages of £20 a week?

Thank you for your time.

okay, i have a few questions about my bunny:

1. should he be kept in pairs, we have had him for about 3 months. He has had constant attention and seems fine but I have read that they still need a partner. I really don't want him to be lonely.

2. As the weather is now starting to turn summery we bought him a hutch. He goes in it for around 5 hours hours a day. He wouldn't get lonely, would he?

3. How quickly can rabbits catch mixy? He hasnt had his jab, because the vet has been booked up, and we only booked and appointment when he started going outside.

sorry for all the questions, i'm just paranoid
