The aquarium won't have a top on it, it will be uncovered. Oh, and if you should not keep any of them in a 10 Gallon glass aquarium, would a bigger aquarium make a difference?

Hi,

My guinea pig is barely eatting his pelets or drinking his water. Here's the information:


I bought 2 guinea pigs 38 hours ago and it isn't drinking his water. The water is from a water bottle with nozzle hanging from the side.

Also, it isn't eatting his pellet. It ate it on the first night but after that he isn't eatting. Right now, i'm trying to give him a lot of vegetables until i can find what wrong.

Someone PLease help!!!

Okay, my rat (Sugar) is 4 years old, and going on five. I know she is getting old, and she won't eat out of out hands anymore, she sleeps most of the day, and she is getting REALLY skinny. When I pick her up I can feel her ribs. I've been feeding her everyday etc. Is this a sign that she may be dying?

Okay. I am thinking about getting 2 guinea pigs ( a long hair and a short haired). I wasn't sure if I should get 2 females or 2 males? Which ones are more friendly? Which gender seems to be more relaxed?

I have two miniature lop rabbits (a buck and a doe) and I decided to breed them. Both the buck and doe were healthy before the breeding took place. After the breeding, my buck started to act funny. He started to lay around more and breathe heavy. His coat got dull and rough. I thought at first that he was just tired. But after two months, he was still like this. My doe never had babies so he didn't even get her pregnant. I don't know how old either of them is because I bought them at an animal auction. So I guess my question is... Is my buck sick because of the breeding or could it be something else?

I know that this is kinda small, but we already have the tank, and it seems like a good idea. Do any of you rat owners have it (i know probably not)? I would like to know if two females would live in that comfortably. Would it allow space for toys and a home thing?

Thanks

I asked a question yesterday and came back with a couple of people saying, "your hutch is unacceptable", by using the description I am about to give you, can you give me your opinion?

Ok, so my hutch, cage, whatever you want to call it is located outside, under the patio, protected from the wind.

It is a two part cage, 1 part is inclosed and the bigger part open. The hutch is made out of wood (which they don't eat), with 2 doors on the front. On the doors I have some metal fly screen stuff with 1cm2 squares, to protect them from mozzies and other bugs I have some strong flywire over the top. I also have a playpen in which the hutch sits in which protects them from the wind even more. At night I have a thick sheet which I double over and place over the hutch, to keep them warm, I leave some space so that they get a continual air flow.

Inside the hutch is newspaper, aspen and hay in the inclosed section. They have tunnels, chaff, pellets and a fresh supply of fresh produce.

I have two; they're both adults, as is my cousin's rat. Is there any safe way to see if they would get along?

I've had a male dwarf hamster for about a year now. Sometimes I notice he has what I like to call a "goopy" eye, only one eye though, and it looks like its almost shut. But the weird part is, it's only like this for awhile. I'll take him out of his cage and his eye will be like that and after I've played with him for awhile his eye will go back to normal? He has no other symptoms, still very active, still big appetite. I was just wondering what could be wrong with him. Thanks!

We had 2 rats and 2 gerbils in separate cages. They are all nice friendly little guys. During play time the rats have visited the gerbils through the bars. The rats have never been aggressive but the gerbils have been curious and excited about the rats. Sadly, one of our rats has died (she was over 3) We do not plan on replacing her. Have rats and gerbils ever been able to share a cage? I know they are natural prey and predator. Our surviving rat is the same age as our gerbils, less than 2. They seem to get along through the bars.

I read an article that said if there are any signs of mites, go straight to invermectin because if following the dosage instructions no harm can come. What is your opinion on this??

My guinea pig munches on my hair. He always has plenty to eat. Maybe because my hair is light and looks like his hay, but either way he is messing up my do. Any tips?

I own two guinea pigs- one male, one female. I have supervised them when they are together to make sure they don't mate. However on occasion my sister has irresponsibly placed both guinea pigs in the same cage behind my back. Not many times but she has done it before. My female guinea pig, since the middle of May, has been noticeably fatter. She is in great shape though- I give her plenty of exercise and she is super fast. At first I thought she was just eating too much so I put her on a diet by cutting back on her pellets, but she hasn't lost weight, and recently it occured to me- could she be pregnant!? Because if she is, than I've been malnourshing her by putting her on a diet and she should be eating more, not less. I suppose I could take her to a vet to ask, but I just took my other one to the vet and it cost me a pretty penny- I was thinking there was maybe a cheaper way of finding out.
