This is why I would never own a snake because I feel it is animal abuse to feed a pet hamster to it. What about the hamster?? it's an animal to. I mean can't snakes eat frozen hamsters? I'm talking when the hamster dies of natural death, then gets froze. Not while living, that is cruel. Snakes...
I am on this message board called Metal Sludge, and people have mentioned of leaving hamsters on the side of the road, or for target practice, or feeding to snakes. That is animal abuse. I told them that to. It makes me glad I'm a hamster owner. I would never treat my hamsters like that. Some...
I bought a new Betta at Walmart, yesterday. I used Prime to condition the water and it also takes ammonia out. I checked with a test strip and there is no ammonia in the water. My Betta is swimming on the bottom of his bowl and he didn't eat his fish pellets, which I had to remove from his bowl...
My question is this.. What is the best fish to use to cycle my tank? I have a 5 gallon tank. I read it was guppies, then I read it was a betta fish? Which fish is the hardiest fish to start out with?
I read there has to be ammonia to start the cycling process. So once I place the fish in the...
I called 2 other fish stores, then I called a few other pet stores. I called both, pet and fish stores. They all told me my tank set up is just fine right now, to add a betta fish. The betta will cycle the tank, first off, and it's just fine, it won't hurt the fish. I need a hardy fish to cycle...
How can my fish tank have ammonia, when I use fresh pure water from the store? I also have a filter. I used conditioner. I never placed a fish in this tank. (I'm still waiting to buy my betta fish). I was going to get a fish today but the guy at the pet store said the water had high ammonia in...
I asked a few pet stores and for a betta fish they said I don't need a filter
but I have one. They guy said I could get betta now and the fish would be fine, but no I don't have the fish now.
Also, I have noticed today since I got the tank the temp is not staying constant and I have the tank in...
I just set up my 5 gallon fish tank. I use pure water from the store. I also have a filter going right now. The water is a little bubbly. I added Aqua-safe, which removes chlorine, chloramine. It came with the starter set up aquarium kit for 30 dollars. I do not have the fish yet. I will get...
My pet hamster is doing fine now, then maybe his big tank has something to do with it, these are not my tanks, but this is the size of my tank for one little dwarf hamster. I think he has enough room to run. Can you say spoiled dwarf hamster? He knows it.
I also use blue care fresh bedding...
I'm with you there. I could never place a rat, or a hamster into a tank to be ate. How sad. I will never own a snake, as really snakes scare me, no thanks. Why can't this person feed it a dead mouse, instead of killing a living creature? All I can say is.. I am sure glad I am not this persons...
Grumpy cried hamster on me!!
I'm still going to the vet today but my hamster seems to be doing fine now. He was in his wheel, he is eating and moving. His eyes are open. He bit me, so he is back to normal, when grumpy was sick he let me pet him, now he went after some cheese I gave him and he...
Thank you. Well hamster seems to be doing better. I have a question. The vet is going to give me antibiotics, how you give that to a hamster? I never done it and my hamster loves to bite me. I will wear gloves, but how you open their mouths to give them their medicine? I am not experienced with...
Thank you. My hamster is moving now and eating some, which I hope he gets better. The vet is not open on Sat, or Sunday, so I have to wait until Monday. There are no other vets that see hamsters in my area. I checked. One of the vets is allergic to hamsters, then I think, why you a vet for? Most...
