Other - Pets - September 2007

What issued would I have to deal with if I would buy a wolf to keep as a pet? It's not something that I am considering seriously at this point, but I was curious because I remember having a friend in my childhood who had a pet wolf. It was very friendly, but when I think back, it acted mostly depressed and just slept all day. And it was only 3 years old.

So, those who know, please list any issues that you can think of that I would be presented with if I were to buy a wolf as a pet. Legal issues, domestication issues, behavioral issues, insurance issues; any and all input is welcome.

Thank you!

Is this okay?"

"My daughter has a pet gerbil. We live up north, and recently it's been getting quite cold. Our heater is broken, and my daughter noticed the gerbil shivering. So she decided to put him in the microwave for a few seconds. I told her not to, but it was too late. When I opened the door, he had an enormous bulge in his side and was bleeding slightly. Will it heal?"

can a squirrel or racoon make a growling noise? mainly concentrate on squirrel because thats what i think it might be, when i was up in the attic moving things i went towards the spot i heard the scurrying, i needed to move blankets then i heard a growl 'so i thought', do either of these animals make any sounds when threatened or was it my imagination, thanks

I just walked out my front door and on my stairs was a pile of poo... I have lived in this house for three years and this is the first time I have ever seen this happen. The poo sorta looked like cat poo, but much more of it. Now, I haven't seen any stray cats or stray dogs in the neighbor hood, so I don't know what it is and I am not sure what a raccoons poo looks like. I have three cats in my house, completely indoor cats, and my husband thinks that it could be a raccoon marking its territory, but would they do that? And now I am worried as to what if the animal was sick, since I scooped the poo with a shovel and deposited it into our 'outside' garbage bins, which happen to be in the garage, whcih the animals arne't allowed.... Should that be fine until the trash is picked up? Should I be worried? Or am I just making a moutain out of a mole hill??? Thanks, any advice or comments are welcomed...

What you see in that picture is a horse bleeding to death. It's happening in a city in Romania. He was hit by a car and his owner decided to kill him to get rid of him. The only way he could think of doing that, was by cutting its throat....
This is happening in a European Union country that has absolutely no valid laws to protect animals from any form of cruelty or suffering. A country where people of all ages find pleasure and enjoyment in beating animals to death, burning them alive, cutting their throats or ripping their bellies. A country where stray dogs are collected from the streets only to be killed by barbarian methods: locked in a cell and starved to death, gassed or poisoned....
The worst that can happen in Romania to someone who hurts, tortures or kills an animal is to get a fine. That is, to pay a certain amount of money. In most cases, he will escape even that. Do you think that's fair? Is it possible to assess a life's worth in the amount of the fine???...

there arent many people around me that have dogs so when she meets one she gets very timid and when the other dog approaches she starts to back away and if they get too close she starts to snarl.. plus i dont know why but she really gets scared of people when they try to pet her [they approach her gently too].. its so wierd shes quite friendly but in the beginning she gets so timid ..plus when people come over she gets very territorial and shuts up when they feed her a treat lol.. i guess its a service fee for entering the house =).. anyway to help her feel less scared and so timid all the time?

Do you think the U.S. should come up with a law giving pet owners an "allowance" to spay/neuter your animal? In retrospect, anyone who has an un-altered animal and is not a reputable breeder, should be fined until there animal is altered?

I am looking for some advice on housing.

I am looking at getting 2 does, as all my rabbits are kept in pairs.

I will get the hutch made specailly for them. I know 6 x 2 x 2 ft if min size. What size do you think I should get it made??

Also what do you think about having 2 levels?? It would be alot wider than 2ft if I did get it with 2 levels.

Any advice would be greatful on Continental rabbits as this is what I will be getting.

Until this morning, i thought i had 2 female rabbits until i went to let them out of hutch and feed them then i noticed something up the corner. When i looked closer i realised there were 4 baby rabbits. I've now got an idea which is the female from the hair surrounding the babies.

The babies dont seem to be moving but i dont want to disturb them just in case its the way they are when they're born.

I didnt plan on having these babies, although i will give them a good home.

I just need some advice on whether i should now seperate the male and female and should the babies be moving or how can i tell if they're still alive.

Sorry to sound so thick but this is totally new to me, unplanned and i guess i'm still in shock!

Any serious advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

My hamster is about 7 weeks old, just got back from the pet store after I returned him because he had wet tail. They nursed him back to health. Last night he ran on his wheel all night long, tonight he is just curled up in a ball in his house, seems to be sleeping a lot. I checked, no wet tail, he is eating and though I haven't seen him drink his water bottle is working. Help - what could this be?

If I threw all the guppy fry my fish are producing in with my afrcan clawed frogs, would the frogs still eat their commercial food or would they just engorge themselves on the fish?
