Hi, My four PD's ( one male and three girls), live outside and I got three new ones (all girls), yesterday. My three new ones are in a temporary cage in my house till they can all meet and to get to know us. Today I took the temp cage with the three new pd's and set it outside in the enclosure...

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...

hello! My name is Amira, and it's my first time posting, but I have a pretty serious issue... I have two chinchillas. One is a boy named Chimi, and a girl named Sienna... Sienna went to the vet about a month ago because her toe got stuck in their cage. She had to get her middle toe...

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...

We have a problem with helping our ferrets get along and need some help and advice. We have had Lola for about a year and a half, and she is 2 & ½ years old. When we got her, we had a pair of ferrets named Teela and Datsun. Teela was 5 years old (vet’s best estimate) and was extremely and...

Our two degus went to a friend to be looked after whilst we were on holiday for two weeks, where they were still kept together. When we collected them on our return we put them back in their cage, fully cleaned, but after an hour or so they started fighting viciously. We have separated them but...

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...

We have 3 males and 3 females. It is with the males that the problem lies. We have an airedale that is 13 years old, a German Shepard that is around 10 years old and a black lab this around 7 years old. These dogs lived together for about 3 years without any trouble. The Airedale and Shepard...

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...
