Rodents

He is about 5 year old and always eats like a, well pig. The past week or so, he eats almost none of his pettets, or straw. He drinks the water, and still loves carrots and misc salad greens.

He's much thinner and vocalizes more. He doesn't look or act ill, but I'm still concerned.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

My guinea pig Reese's just started biting the butt of Rocher-my other guinea pig. Rocher is now missing fur. While Reese's was doing this Rocher was not making any noise or trying to run away. I have had them for two and 1/2 years and they have never done anything like this. They have only occasionally mounted each other which I know is a sign of dominance. Reese's just started an antibiotic for a UTI last week... could this be affecting her behavior? I separated them, but am concerned. They have never been separated before. I don't want Rocher to get hurt though and she is already missing a patch of fur. They are both females. Does anyone know why they are doing this and what I should do?

The thing is, if I remove one, I wouldn't be able to keep it I would have to give it back to the pet store, and the one I keep would be lonely. They are very social animals according to websites I've been on and love each others company. However they are fighting like crazy. But then a day later they will be huddled in the same little nest being soo cute! Should I decide to only keep one or keep them together and hope they sort it out??

I just got a young male guinea pig like 2 weeks ago. I love him and everything but I think he is lonely. I have tried to make him as comfy as possible. Should I get another male friend? I don't want to get him a female because you know what would happen and my mom would not like that! Or could I trade him for a female guinea pig and then get another female? What should I do?!

I'm thinking about immigrating to the USA from Australia and can't bear to leave my little ratties behind. They're only young and still have a lot of life in them... It breaks my heart :(

Does anyone know the process for immigrating pets and what is involved?

Ferrets
im going to buy unaltered ferrets from a breeder, and i need info on breeding ferrets. any advice?? i have read that the hob can be very aggressive and can hurt the Jill, but i dont want to mess any thing up by having a wounded or killed ferret or anything else.
i need this advice from someone who actually knows or has bred ferrets.
ive heard u have to seperate the female from the male at a certian time, but does she have to be removed before she goes into heat? because the male could kill her if know one was there. do u move her to a differ cage before shes in heat??? i know i must remove her when shes pregnant.
i need info, on breeding ferrets, i dont want to mess anything up.
im buying these unaltered cuz i want kits later on.
i hope this isnt perverted or anything! i just dont want a ferret killed since males are mean during that period.
i just need info so nothing gos wrong.
AND if u r not going to be any help, dont leave a message please!!!

ok, i have 2 gerbils, who are brothers and they have grown up together. i've had them for about 6 months. one is dove colored (greyish white) and the other is black. the dove one has a marking around his eye that was not there before, and im not sure what it is. i don't know if it is either blood or dirt or what. they've never injured each other before, but they do play fight i think from time to time. he has red eyes, and it looks like a reddish brownish coloring is surrounding his right eye, but that color is not anywhere else on his body. there is no dirt in their cage and no other traces of blood in their cage. they are both moving around fine and he doesn't seem to know its there. what could this be?

So I've had my guinea pig for almost a month now and I'm worried that he may not be happy. I spend as much time with him as I can and also give him floor time but for the most part all he does is stay in his igloo and lay down. Is he bored? The pet store lady said he has been by himself for a while but getting a him a friend might help. Am I being too overconcerned? I pictured him at least running around his cage, nibbling on his toys, or something! But he doesn't even do that. All he does it eat, sleep, and on rare occasions run around. I've only heard him wheek once. Do I need to get my boar a companion?

We have so much conflicting information.
This is for two rex's/teddies (boars): we currently feed them a (small guinea pig sized) bowl of green veggies between them in the morning such as broccoli and cucumber. they have a bowl of dry food in their hutch 24/7. they have a baby corn each when we bring them in for a cuddle, and a bowl of carrot between them for dinner. they also always have hay in their hutch.

the vet, when they went in a while back, said they weren't overweight. it's just that my guinea pig does have a rather large bum! are rex's just a larger breed? or are we over-feeding them?

I have two ferrets and they we raised eating ferret food (usually Marshall brand) I have recently started buying them cat food because the ingredients are very similar. I am wondering if it is bad for ferrets to eat cat food? They have down fine since eating...still VERY active and they love the food. If there any health risks?
