I have two robo dwarf hamsters I got in January in separate cages. Now they usually sleep under their water bottles that drip a little. I also have noticed that their fur is getting darker and they’re not grooming as much as they used to. Are they sick? What should I do?
Thanks!

We have a puppy who is 100% potty trained. We crate her when we go out, but now that she is trained (and has been for a while) do we still need to crate her at night? She has slept with us a couple of times in the past and stays on the bed so we are not concerned about her roaming around the house at night. I would like for her to sleep with us, but don’t know if this will ruin the purpose of crate training. Thanks!

I am looking to get a hamster but as I am at school still i would prefer one that slept at night so that i could get a good nights sleep and i could play with it when i get home from school.
Can anybody help me or is it just natural that all hamsters sleep during the day if so is there a way of getting them to sleep at night and be awake during the day?

I dog-sat a friend’s dog for three days and while the old girl was asleep on my sofa, her bladder released her urine onto one of my sofa cushions. My hound dog used to sleep on that sofa all the time, now she won’t go anywhere near the sofa and I’ve tried all of the dog cleaners and all of the deodorizers! Does anyone have a homemade remedy? My hound dog will THANK YOU!!!

Well I have a 6yr. old basset hound who has been peeing on the carpet lately. We live in an apartment so we don’t have a back yard just a good sized patio(well good sized for an apartment its kinda big) we started to put him on there but ran into 2 problems 1.) We found a scorpion in the bathroom so don’t want him outside at night 2.) He doesn’t sleep he just sits at the door all night long. So were thinking about crate training him but he is really scared of everything so we don’t want to scare him to death by putting him in crate( trust me he will be scared he is deathly afraid of laundry baskets he will do anything to get away from them) Well any advise would be nice thank you in advance
Forgot to add I’m home all day long with him.
Well he is use to sleeping with either my fiance or his dog family. But he had to get rid of the other dogs cause he had to move(long story). And we usually let him sleep in the bed with us but he’s been getting up and peeing on the floor during the night. He will pee out side the only time he pees on the carpet is at night when were asleep

I am experienced in owning dogs and puppies and am getting another dog soon. I have a much different schedule than when I had my last two dogs and must chose a new breed that will fit my new lifestyle.

I will keep the dog outside during the day from 6:30am-2:00. I will be taking the dog on my morning run from 5:00-6:00, and will take him outside on a walk every hour from 2:00 to 10:00 or until the dog goes to sleep. He will have one more long walk at 5:00pm. Weekends will be free and the dog will not be alone at all. Shedding and ease of trainablility arent concerns of mine.

I will not be able to have giant dogs (ie Great Danes, Irish Wolfhounds) because of my father’s preferences, but large dogs , approximately 28" or less, are acceptable.

Preferences are to have a friendly and affectionate dog who is alert and will remain calm during new experiences. I would rather a large size dog (we have a sturdy, heavy fence the likes of which any size dog has excellent room and cannot escape).

Extreme weather is not a problem for me as I live in San Francisco, CA. Depending upon the dog’s breed, I will bring him inside for the day during waves of uncomfortable weather. I already have dog supplies and have disinfected the lot of it.

my dogs are winter breeds. when it gets really cold out i have a greenhouse that has an attatched furnace that they sleep in. there regular house is insulated and has a door on it. last night i went out to there house when it was about -15 celsius outside and you couldnt even see your breath in their house. is this warm enough? i have tried bringing them in the house but they just sit by the door and whine to get back outside. i spend every spare minute i have with them (usually between 2 and 4 hours a day) and we go to the offleash park at least every other day so the can socialize so they are not neglected. i just want to make sure that they are warm enough.
thanks
