I have a 55 gallon aquarium, it’s about three weeks old but the filter cartridges are pretty dirty already. There is also a lot of debris like tiny pieces of dead plant and whatnot that is stuck to them and behind them.

Anyway, I know all the rules for rinsing cartridges (don’t use hot or warn or cold water, dont use soap, detergent, or any other chemicals, etc) but what I’m wondering is, is it too soon to rinse the cartridges that I have now (in terms of bacteria longevity) or will it be okay?

Also, it’s a freshwater, tropical tank.

I’m getting another bird and I don’t room in my room to put the second cage, unless by the window, which is too dangerous. Is it safe to put two cages on top of each other? I have seen breeders do it.

My dog, when he starts running really fast in the yard, always runs in the shape of an eight. I have never seen another dog do this – usually they run in a circle or run randomly. Is there some reason why he wold run in figure eights?

My pet turtle just ate some playdoh and he ate about a whole mini container of it! Will it harm him or is it going to hurt him?
Sorry I meant will it harm him or is it safe? Sorry about that!

I just got a dog, he’s 5 and he is already house trained. However yesterday I found a urine stain, that is no older than a week old (since thats how long I have had him!). I have no idea what to use to get it out (I really need my deposit back!) along with the odor so nothing happens in that area again. Anyone know of some helpful things, prefereably cheapest first! Thanks

I want to give my thinner cat more treats than the slightly overweight cat, but I love them equally and don’t want one to think I favor the other more.

Celty is my current ferret, male/8 months old. I recently bought two others that are both 7 months old. When I tried showing one of the newcomers to Celty, he got very upset, and jumped and bit at the new one. He was definitely not playing, and I’d never seen him so aggressive. It was similar with the other new ferret. The two newcomers weren’t aggressive in return, either. One is male, the other is female.

So, my question is, what is the best way to introduce the newcomers to Celty/get them all used to eachother.
