I adopted a rabbit 2 weeks ago and its previous owner did not give it any human contact or attention. My rabbit is a female and she is pretty smart and got litterbox-trained in no time but refuses anyone to pat or carry her, what should i do?

recently my rabbit has found her claws and has bin digging everywhere, she dug a large burrow which i had 2 fill in, then she dug another on- same again, she broke her run getting out of it and not i have 2 fix it, then she chewed the fence and dug a hold under it.

Needless 2 say im in trouble if she carries on doing this, has anyone else had this problem with rabbits, if so what did you do?

I bought a cat from the vet clinic here on post sat. She seemed ok, but after awhile she started dry heaving like she was going to throw up, then yesterday and today she has this stuff running out the corners of both eyes and her nose, plus she has diarrhea and sleeps all the time (the sleeping part i just put this off as her being a kitten) but now im worried . I have 2 adult cats and I have never seen this in either of them, not even when they were kittens. All my cats are indoor cats. Im afraid the new kitten has something that she may pass on to my 2 adult cats. Am I over reacting...My vet is at lunch right now

I'm spearheading a gift basket raffle for my local animal shelter, and I'm making about 5 bags to raffle off. They are all going to be animal-oriented baskets, and I need a few ideas to fill them up. I have some "goodies" with the shelter's name on them, like pens, dog leashes/collars, and little hand towels, etc.
I was thinking about putting in some bags and/or wallets, cell phone cases, that look like this:https://shop.theanimalrescuesite.com/store/item.do?itemId=29096&siteId=310&sourceId=303&sourceClass=Category&index=14
Would that be corny? What are some other cute things I could put in the baskets?

Yesterday whilst trying to pick up my rabbit he was struggling hard to get out of my arms so I lowered myself to put him back down, however, due to struggling hard he managed to leap out of my arms (about 2 foot off the ground) and fell face first. I kept an eye on him and he seemed to be fine - he has been eating his dry food. However, I just gave him some carrot and he is not eating it - he always eats his carrots. I am very concerned that he may have broken a tooth or something, but I can't check him as he has become very frightened and won't let me pick him up to check him, let alone pick him up to take to a vet. Even stroking him he runs away!! Any advice!!!

P.S. he has always been nervous at being picked up, but I have always been able to hold him securely so that he can't struggle much.

Hi, Our rabbit had 6 babies on Augest 8th and its been about a month. What we didnt know was that the father got the mother pregnant right after before we could get him out of the cage, So she had 5 more babies an exact month later. I need to know if we can take the one month babies out or if we can keep them in the cage with the mom. Please help!

I'd really like to find a good home for two manx kittens of mine, but I don't know of any other places except ebay(pick up only), but I don't think I'm allowed to do that.. Their dad is a siamese manx, and their mom is a really pretty short haired gray/white cat. they got their dads thick fur and "manxiness," and their moms clean colors and beautiful bright eyes(I think they're going to stay blue).. I'm going ot try the newspaper, but I thought ebay would be better...
I would have started them at a penny, if not free. I just want to find a good home for them, and my friend was wondering the same thing because she has a little collie/sheltie looking puppy...
Thanks For Any Help!

Well, I know that I'll probably be reported, but I have to tell you that brbnryn has died. You'll probably say, but how can he be dead if he posted this question?

Well, I'm his brother. So, I'm just posting this to let know to the ones that knew him that Ron died.

At least, he died doing what he loved most. You know? He had leukimia, so he has departed this world, and gone on to the next path.

I'm sorry if I bothered anyone. So, I by the way apologize for those who sent him mails about their pets never to have them answered. Sorry.

I have a cow that has bites on her tail and no hair. Could this have happened from a bull if she was in heat? I was amazed to see this because the rest of our cows are healthy. Why is this?

When people have WAY to many guinea pigs and other rodents, they cannot give them enough attention or love. I mean seriously, I would limit myself to 4 pigs, and I only have 2. I wouldn't EVER have like 10 of them! I mean once you count up the amount of food, vet bills, ect., don't you think its a bit obsessive/ creepy? Its like a old lady with like 22 cats... they end up breeding and you have sooo many others to take care of that they have babies upon babies upon babies! Not only that, but imagine how stinky the house must be! Also, if you have kids, they sure as hell won't help! Any one else agree? I mean its cute and all with all those fuzzy bodies but could you imagine if you had to find a place for them to stay when you, god forbid, have a vacation or a meeting?

Hi, my landlord and I are great friends and we hang out alot. The other day he came over while I was researching venus fly traps on the net so I confessed to him that I've always wanted to set-up a terrarium for a venus fly trap but that I've never gotten around to doing it. Then the next day he found out that I was moving two hours away, he showed up at my door with a venus fly trap in a tiny pot as a going away gift. (sweet man) He offered to buy me anything I needed or wanted to set up my terrarium for the fly trap...I already have a 2.5 gallon tank with a glass lid, plus the plant, but we're shopping tomorrow morning for the rest of the needed supplies so that we can set up the terrarium tomorrow afternoon YET I'm still not sure of how to set up the terrarium nor am I sure of the exact care for venus fly traps!
any advise on setting up terrariums for venus fly traps
or any advise on the care of venus fly traps (humidity, food...)
would be greatly appreciated!
thanks ya'll!

Okay,
I am thinking about getting a guinea pig. Has anyone gotten one from petsmart? Do you think it would be better to get one from a breeder? I want a guinea pig that wont die the next day. I heard the Petsmarts' animals are mean because of being out in public and kids tapping on the cages. Which one do you think would be better?

Also, what is a cute name for one? I was think bruce for a guy.
