How do I teach my pooch to play with toys?




I have had my adopted 3yr old Beagle for a month. When we are away, I leave her toys out so she has something to keep her busy when we are at work. I have many types of toys for her, stuffed animals, food involved toys, shoes, tug rope, balls… when I get home, they are in the same place as I left them. When we are home, I put the toys away & before we leave in the morning the pooch & I attempt to play with them. She is not at all interested in them, even when we try to play with her. Any advice?

What kind of toys should Rottie mixes have?




My Rottie mix loves balls. She has one squeaky ball that I got her when she was a pup that she loves to play with. But with plush toys she chews them up as fast as she gets them.

I do have rope and tire toys but she doesn’t play with them.

My brother’s dog is a blue heeler and he has a plush toy and he doesn’t chew it but he loves to play with it and fetch it.

How can I tell if my bunny is pregnant?




I just went outside to find 5 dead babies bunnies in the bottom of my bunny ( Kyras ) cage.
She didn’t pull out any hair and I had no idea she was pregnant.
She was sooo tiny. Are their any other signs that a bunny can be pregnant. I have felt their tummies when a day before they have babies and still cant feel the balls in the belly.
What am I doing wrong?
I lost 2 newborns last week. This makes 7 I am soooo devestated.
Please help me.
This is my second litter. 2 seperate bunnies.
My first litter had 3 and the mother refused to feed 2 of them.

This litter was a surprise I was given this bunny by a friend. She told me their wasn’t a male bunny in her litter. Apparently there was. Why did my first bunny only take care of one baby?

Every time i buy toys, i give them to my dog, she will start playing and then in few minutes time they’re destroyed, that toys are the stuff kind with the squeakers. So i decided to buy rope toys and rope balls and she plays with it but she doesn’t really like it as much. I want her to play with the fun toys!! but how can i have her enjoy it instead of ruining them?
oh yeah she is a american staffshire terrier. she is 5 yrs old.

My puppy is about 3 months old, just got nuetered. (but his balls never dropped so they had to remove them from his abdomen). He has a very large incision on his belly. Its been 8 days, but they play very rough– how much longer should I wait before they can play?

I found a 10-12 month old kitten roaming the streets and took him in. I think he’s lived on the streets most, if not all, of his life because Alex doesn’t know what toys are or even how to play. I’ve tried the "going fishing" toy and balls with bells and even fluffy balls but he’ll just walk by or look at me funny as if to say "what are you doing?"

Is there any way I can get him to start playing?

Also I’m trying to train him from jumping on the table when the family eats. I spray him with some water, it works but when I’m gone my roommate doesn’t like to use the spray bottle because she thinks its cruel. Are there any other methods she can use so his training doesn’t go to waste?

I’ve also tried an empty pop can with some pennys taped inside and shake that, it only worked once. I’ve also been trying time outs where he gets put in the bathroom for a few mintues but he never learns his lesson from that.

Any tips?
Thanks.

I don’t like hamster balls, I could imagine that it’s scary for the hamster being enclosed in a plastic ball and get very hot. My hamster runs around my bed and gets plenty or exercise from that. Hamsters seems to always bump into things, I saw a few clips on YouTube.

What do you think?

She’s stubborn and set in her ways (13 yrs old). She’s 90 lbs. I’ve tried moth balls, raising the flower beds off the ground 2 to 3 feet in planters, placing big rocks and bricks all throughout the plants, sternly talking to her and chasing her out of the beds, planting prickly shrubs and plants…. any other ideas? I’m at my wits end.
