    Feeding Malaysian trumpet snails?

    I don't have chickens so I can't speak from personal experice, but I do know MTS are the ONE snail that you cannot feed to puffer fish. Puffers have two constantly growing teeth and need hard food like snails to grind them down, but MTS will break puffer teeth. Puffers will have no problem with...

    Suggestions for new LGD and current dog fighting

    The fact that she is initiating the fighting only when people are around sounds like she is trying to prove to the humans that she is more dominant than the puppy. I think you also need to examine your own behavior around both dogs and see if you aren't adding to her confusion with your own...

    Fishtank heater causing water issues?

    (i assume you mean betta fish, not better fish- correct me if i'm wrong) by adding a heater, you may have increased the growth rate of the bacteria/alge. removing the heater has probably only slowed the problem. was the tank established already or did you drop a new fish into a new tank? if...

    Cats will also pee to show dominance or mark their terrirtory. Most commonly, male cats, but females can do it too.

    Any tips on how to stop a siamese from being so vocal?

    I suggest you just learn to live with it. Training cats is difficult at best, and I have never heard of anyone being able to stop their cat from being vocal. It is possible, I believe, to have his voice surgically removed by a vet, but this is invasive, expensive, and I'm not sure many vets...

    Opinions please on dogs and deer hides

    I looked into the backyard one day and found my Anatolian chowing down on a deer leg. Juvenile, from hoof to about 2 inches of femur. No idea where she got it from as there were no other carcas peices in our yard. Called the vet and they said other than the ick factor there was nothing to worry...

    Never again! Never, never, never again! Giving Max a bath....

    My year old Anatolian Shepard love getting a bath. Loves the water. The only thing I can recommend is to get him wet often! I feel like the more you do it, the better acclimated he will become. But start small, just get his legs wet at first. Then work up to getting his entire body wet. Do...

    Quote: I had a long answer for you but my browser eated it They are a great fish, but not really that great for a community tank. They are fin nippers and can become quite aggressive to other fish. Do not keep with ghost shrimp. They are sensitive to tank chemistry, more so than most other...

    Heating a plastic bucket nipple waterer ?

    I would be very careful about aquarium heaters. Try to ensure that the heater itself is not touching the plastic- if it gets hot enough it could melt the plastic. Sounds like people have not had problems with lower wattage heaters. You won't need much, unless you have very cold winters, to...

    Although I have no fish tanks at the time, I know quite a bit about keeping puffer fish. I wish that I had the space and the money for a puffer tank, but they requre alot of space, which most people do not realize when they purchase puffers. They are certainty not a fish for beginners...
