I recieved a chinchilla about 4 weeks or so ago. It wasn't my decision my mom just said her friends friend had chinchilla litter and so she got a cage and a chinchilla. Anyways, everybodies saying she's pregnant even though there's no way to tell from what I've researched. She's possibly 6mo old...

First off: Sorry this is really long! Our male maltese Mayo was bought back in July 2010 from a couple that had several maltese dogs (at least 1 mom and dad and about 8 or so puppies, we were told that Mayo was 8 months old). I know Maltese can't carry that many pups, so I'm assuming they...

Ok so I woke up to my youngest rat (tonks) going after beans. They were both going at it and I wasn't sure why. So I made a noise to distract them and go on each others ways. That they did. However beans was also chewing on the hammock wich i do not appreciate. I havn't had any issues like this...

Hi Everyone :) I recently rescued a Quaker parrot (approximately 4 years old) from someone who was just going to let him loose in the desert. I've had him for almost a week now, and he starting to settle in. I've discovered he likes music, and if I play some for him he will eventually come...

One of my foster mice is being extremely aggressive with me and my other females to the point that she attempted to rip another females foot off, every time I go to pick up their food bowl she flies out of her box and tries very hard to bite me. She is pregnant and I know that, that can bring...

Hello, I've had my chinchilla for about a year and a half now. The past few months when we let him out of his cage for play time he does this thing where he attacks my husband or my arm/hand. He jumps on our arm/hand and starts digging and biting. It leaves scratches but doesn't really hurt...

Hello! I am completely new here and unfortunately entering on a negative point. But I need HELP asap! I got my little PD in mid June when he was about 8 weeks old. He adapted quite quickly and never really displayed any sign of aggression other than some playful biting. He even stopped that...

Thank you soo much for telling me that....In my many years of taking care of and raising ratties, I've never NEVER had a rat be aggressive... I used to always preach that rats were the LEAST aggressive rodents I've ever encountered (when I was a bit younger). The reason I was so worried about...
