New hamster seeming aggressive

It came home from the pet store calm and curious. He’s in a small cage until Xmas day - about 4 days so far. Mostly he hides but hasn’t been drinking much water. Today - went to check on him…he’d gnawed on his cage and so I lifted his little cubby to make sure he was still there. He’d been sleeping but after he’d walked around for a few seconds and woken up he started screaming and ba...

For the past 3 months I have been releasing rats under my girlfriend's house.

I feel super guilty this is true. I have been waiting till she has left and going under her crawl space and releasing rats that I have bought at various pet stores throughout the area. I have even found spots under the house that lead in and either widen gaps or take apart boards that were originally meant to close the gaps so the rats can get into her house. All of this is done so I can be the sa...

Any tips to help my cat be less afraid of the living room?

So My boy Sock(aka Michilan) is 8 months old, he’s been with us for half of his life(4months), and when we first got him he would chill in the living room and LOVED to stare at my mom’s bird. Due to my mom’s allergies increasing(she would physically get sick, would have scabs on the entrance of her nostrils from how runny her nose would be due to the cat) he had to stay in my brother’s an...

Feedback on my setup

Hello here is a 45 gallon hexagon tank. I am a fairly new crab owner. Please give me your feedback on my set up. I have an Ecuadorean and purple pincher in here who both seem quite happy and love climbing. There is about 8 inches of substrate mixed with cocoa fiber, and I’m thinking of putting in a waterfall. The purple pincher I got from Petsmart in June and it took several months for them to ...

Found her!

Hey all! Unbelievably after two months, we found her. We think she ate lizards—we get little skinks inside the house in the winter—in the meantime or potentially got out and then back in since it’s getting cold here. Found her jammed in the back of the closet and the cat kept trying to bang his head and get her. We tried it all, failed, and thank you for suggestions! We even got a w...

Rescue betta! Please help

Hi everyone. I’ve been keeping fish for around 5 years now (including bettas) and have battled a lot of illnesses. Today, I took in a betta fish from a pet store that looks really rough. He’s a blue crowntail (although hard to tell). His fins are quite clamped and almost non existent due to fin rot. He is developing white spot and is quite skinny but also bloated at the same time. Also will...

Dropsy in Petsmart Betta

While looking around at the aquatic section of my local petsmart saw a betta who obviously had dropsy: hanging at the bottom of its small cup and had severe pine-coning. With that severe of a case, I was hesitant on what to do as it looked like it would pass at any second. I’m a novice fish keeper and didn’t know what I could do for it and left it there but I’m questioning if there was som...

Rehoming & Dropsy

Started today with Rehoming my shibunkin goldfish to a friends koi pond where he’ll be much happier, but there was an injury during transit where he had gotten roughed up by the container because the lid had ridges that were extremely smooth but jutting out enough when the water shifted in the car he got hurt. Luckily it seemed minor and extremely superficial, and he’s going to make a quick ...

Questions for Exp. Leo Owners [foot sore & eating issues, hatchling] *HELP!*

My baby that I just got 5 or 6 days ago has a little inflamed toe; keep in mind I did purchase her from a major pet store chain, which are renowned for terrible husbandry that the staff on the floor has no ability to improve most of the time. That's my first problem with her. The second issue revolves around her appetite. She doesn't want anything to do with the mealworms I offer her. I've only ...

okinawa gold dust newts

I saw in my local pet store that they had okinawa gold dust newts and I really want them because they look really cool, but I've never had experience with newts, only fish. Are they suitable for beginners and is there anything I should keep in mind if I get them?

Does anyone know where to buy a parakeet from a person or place outside the pet stores?

I would love to get a baby parakeet that has been hand fed and tamed, but I don’t know where to get one and I can’t find any info on parakeet breeders or sellers near the Chattanooga Tennessee area. Does anyone have any knowledge of where to buy parakeets other than a pet stores? I would greatly appreciate it.

Food Balance?

I’ve been working with sort of an experimental tank with the idea of getting a good little ecosystem established. I started out just planting it and then added some daphnia. Some hitchhikers made it in on the plants I bought (bladder snails, ramshorns, one little shrimp that unfortunately I’m assuming didn’t make it because I haven’t seen it in a long time and a big leech that eventually d...

Advice on What to Get for 40 Gal Breeder Tank? First Time Mice Owner

Hello all! After lurking on this sub for a while, I decided to get mice! I have a Syrian hamster who lives in a 40 gallon breeder tank, but I’ve since learned it’s too small so she will be getting an upgrade. So I will have a free 40 gallon breeder, and am debating between what would be better, 1 male or multiple females? If I did females, what would be a good number? I’d personally prefe...

Jellycat dupe?

I’ve always thought the jellycat shrimp was adorable, then I found this little guy at the pet store (who I think is even cuter)… I might have to get my dog a different Christmas gift because this might be mine 👀

I'm still googling stuff '___ safe for hamster?'

I'm so hyped up. I ordered a case from Amazon, it didn't get here yet. I emailed a local rescue, they haven't got back to me yet. I don't care what breed or color or how old. I just want a hamster. Maybe a healthy one since I'm inexperienced and don't wanna disappoint the hamster. I registered chewy but so far I feel like I really need to go to a pet store this weekend. I added to my shopping cart...

Dog day out?

Anyone have any ideas for fun places to take a senior dog with mobility issues? I’m returning home for the Holidays, and I’m reuniting with my childhood dog who’s on the older side. Would really love to give her some fun experiences. Open to any and all ideas. Was maybe thinking of taking her to an ethical pet store that isn’t involved in any puppy mills to see if she’d be interested in...

Fahaka puffer growth question

Hi everyone, I just visited a pet store with a very small fahaka puffer fish. It was in a tank with 5 Amazon puffer fish. I believe the tank was not heated and it appears that it may have had a little bit of ich. I told the owner that I wanted a fahaka puffer that will grow big, and she said that they have had the puffer for a month and it has not grown at all. She suggested that I wait for an...

Meet Butters

A couple weeks ago my betta Puff passed, I thought of just dismantling this tank and only focusing on my 125gal and my 30gal, but then this little guy caught my eye while I was with a friend at a pet store and I needed to bring him home. I’ve been to 3 different pet shops in the past couple weeks and didn’t want any of those bettas. This one was all the way in the back on a shelf full of brigh...
