Now that our horses are out on grass, our pony does not let anyone catch him. Even after all the other horses are in, and the bugs are bad, he won't come. Before, I could just chase him for 10 minutes and he'd be tired and come to me, but now, even after chasing him for a half and hour he still won't come. I'm tired of running :P.. He can't be scared of us, he has no reason to. I think its just the grass. Does anyone have any advice on how to catch him?

My dog is simply wonderful! She is amazing to watch outside as she is fast and herds anything she can find. She is also highly intelligent and has an amazing sense of smell. Unfortunately, she has killed 2 rabbits, 2 squirrels and 1 rat in the past 2 days. I understand the breed and their need for activity and stimulation. What can I do to keep her busy while I am gone? I leave treats and chew toys, but it doesn't last all day. I am not able to come home during the day to play with her over lunch. What would be a good companion? If given nothing to "work on", she climbs over the fence and runs off or destroys anything she can find. I play with her when I get home, but I worry about her all day. So, companion? Toy that would serve as an enrichment activity? HELP ME and Bentley! :) (I'd buy a few cows if I could!)

I have a 6 pound rabbit and I'm going to get a 4 pound rabbit. How big should their cage be? They will have about 4 hours of running freely around my house. The cage I currently have for my 6 pounded rabbit is 5 feet by 3 feet. Will this be large enough, or should I extend it to make room for the newcoming rabbit?

This past weekend I adopted (rescued?) a male lop-eared rabbit. He has been neutered but I gather that his past living conditions were less than optimal, though he was not mistreated. I suspect he is about 2 years old and weighes nearly 7lbs. He was never litter-box trained and unlike what I've read in countless books, he is not "tidy" (ie, he will poop and urinate by his food, or wherever he pleases, never in the same spot, but never over the edge of the cage). I've tried moving the soiled bedding to the litter box but it's not working! Any other suggestions?

Also, he is EXTREMELY skiddish and does not like to be touched or held. Any ideas on bonding? He has already scratched my arm up pretty badly and thumped at me. Will he 'stay mad' or 'get over it'?

Thanks for any responses! I really do appreciate it!

i have two 2-month-old bunnies and i would appreciate it if someone will tell me how i should clean them WITHOUT water, because my first one died from coming into contact with water? and it would best if i could just clean it with something in the house.

I have just rescued/adopted a kitten who has bad ear infection. I've never seen anything like it. It's ears are filled with tiny eggs and I mean filled. The first time I saw them I almost threw up. I would love to take her to a vet but I live in China and don't speak the language and if you know anything about China, they really don't give a hoot about cats. I'm more of a dog person but this cat has a great personality and I'm fond of this cat. Is there a home ear remady that works on cats.

I watch a lot of animal shows and I have noticed that many people pick up dogs and cats by the scruff. Does this hurt them? (I think it would but they don't seem to protest)

i posted a question for her earlier about her lumps and bumps. the problem is i know vet care is very expensive and i don't have hundreds of dollars in case of surgery or frequent visits to the vet for services.

she is a grey holland lop; 7 weeks old. she has two lumps, one on her lower back, the other above her tail. they feel like thick skin with a dry skin surface and sticky fur which comes off.

are these called abcesses?

would chamomile tea help the lumps in any way? or any other herb boiled and let to cool and then applied to the bumps? herbs are cheaper and i am thinking healthier.

please give me some advice and thank you.

We found this bunny and i think it is dehydrated as his fur retracts back slowly. My husband was a vet tech and I'm an ER nurse and between us both, we give LR SQ fluids to our cat 3-4x times a week for his megacolon. I want to give this little one a chance but we don't want to take it to emergency vet being today is a Sunday, it's just not in our finances right now. I tried to give kitten milk through a bottle and the bunny is hardly taking in anything. I tried hay, but I'm afraid he is not quite weaned yet, he tries but not getting much. He is not touching the pellets at all. Thanks for your advice.

i know cedar is bad, and i heard pine is, too...

i want to make a wood hut (small, like 5inches long) to fit in the cage. the ones at the store are too expensive.

What typed of wood CAN i use?
