Cage for rats?
I bought a baby rat a week ago and have been keeping him in a glass aquarium until I could find a suitable cage. I have looked at all the local pet stores, since I cannot order one online and I have no local PetSmarts/PetCos., and the only things that I could find that might be able to work are bird cages and CritterTrail cages. I was wondering which would be best for the little guy. If I were to buy a bird cage, what types of things could I put inside to create levels or other things of enjoyment? The CritterTrails look very entertaining, and already come with tubes and levels. I was looking at these three in particular that one pet store had in stock:
CritterTrail 2http://www.superpetusa.com/catalog/viewone.asp?itemNumber=60525
CritterTrail Xhttp://www.superpetusa.com/catalog/viewone.asp?itemNumber=60518
CritterTrail Dazzle http://www.superpetusa.com/catalog/viewone.asp?itemNumber=60523
I personally like CritterTrail 2. What are your opinions on these cages or a bird cage?
crittertrails are way way way too small for even 1 rats (you really should have gotten 2 rats are very social creatures)
A bird cage can work if it is large enough here are some ways to make levels and modifications if needed.

Flea’s anyone?
I just moved into my new home, and my pets are loving the outsides again. With that comes a pest problem. I have just discovered fleas on some of my pets. I have 3 cats and only one of them has fleas. I also have one dog, who has feas as well, whome I just gave a bath. I treated the carpeded area of the house, and powdered my cat who has the flea’s. My question would be, how to keep them off my animals, and out of my brand new home? Please help. We ALL hate those biting creatures, and I have a feeling that they are coming from the outside somehow. It’s a new development, and nothing used to be in this area, except trees.
Take the critters to the vet and get them prescription flea medicine — Frontline, Advantage, etc. It is about $6-10 a month depending on the animal. DO NOT buy store brand medicine such as Hartz –there is not a requirement for safety in these medicines and these products have bad side reactions and have even caused DEATH in some animals!!!!
What to do with poop eating dogs?
What kind of home remedy can I use to put food on my dogs "to avoid eat your poop? I've seen what they sell at the clinics and in pet catalogs, but that's too expensive for me to feed 4 dogs! I 2 that I can not stop eating crap and make me sick. All ideas of some kind of mix you can sprinkle on their food?
A month ago I answered a question similuar (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070619060921AATVLTo&r=w&show_comments=true&pa=FZB6NWHjDG3N56z6v_2zVkuhpVOplkX_SCD0LXZloYF78kg502Oiag–&paid=add_comment # Openions) What do your dogs have a problem behavirol called coprophagia. Besides using the bitter apple and keep the areas clean, you could try sprinkling or mixing their food with MSG or get a product called "Bid-4" through your veterinarian. Be sure to consult your vet to see if it's OK to their dogs either.
Is there any place in Ireland where I secure my cat?
Is there any place in Ireland where I secure my cat? I just returned from England, moved with him. I have tried the only company I could find (starts with A and ending with Z) and refused to secure as it was over 7 years old! I need it insured. Surely there must be more than an insurance company for pets throughout the country! If there is a deplorable and sad situation. In the UK, insurance companies are clamoring for my business!
Hello, unfortunately pet insurance has really only grown in Ireland in the last decade and are the leading provider Allianz. It is terrible that you can not get coverage for your cat is over 7 years. Because Ireland is a member EU, insurance providers in other States are entitled to cover any member of the EU. Based on this, not the need to limit their search engines to companies based in Ireland. You may contact your previous provider in the UK and see if they would be willing to Continut to cover your cat in Ireland. You should take a look at the homepage Ireland Pet Insurance website for more info: http://www.pet-insurance.ie/results.asp?keyword=pet% 2Binsurance Tesco Pet Insurance could also be worth a look: http://www.tescofinance.com/personal/finance/insurance / petins / index.jsp
