I ended up with two males and one female. They (the males) are now starting to fight some. Is this just a dominance thing? Will it eventually dissipate? Will one severely hurt the other? I have owned other fowl but not guineas. Any thoughts welcome!!answers 7:Pets from pet stores can make good pets. I think it really depends on how they were treated while at the pet shop. The main concern with pet shop animals is their health - pets from pet stores are known for (usually) not being the healthiest of pets out there.When choosing a pet rat:*Try to avoid rats that are panicky when handled, especially if they do not relax quickly, and also! those that are overly quiet and calm (may be ill). Often a go! od choice is a rat that is curious enough to approach you. *Rats should be alert and active. *The rats body should be firm and well rounded. Younger rats are likely to be on the lean side. *The nose, eyes, ears, and rear end should be clean and free from discharge. *The coat should be clean and well groomed (healthy rats spend a lot of time grooming). The skin on the ears and tail should be clean and pink. *The skin should be free of sores and not red or flaky. *Watch the rat's breathing to make sure it is not labored, and make sure the rat is not sneezing or having discharge from its nose or eyes (all signs of respiratory disease which is fairly common in rats). *Watch for drooling or wetness around the mouth, which can be a sign of dental problems....answers 8:rats bred for the pet trad are rarely handled, look in your local newspaper to find kids that have bred a litter as these will be well handledanswers 9:I also love animals so.. i already have a rare dog we're going ! to breedanswers 10:They make perfectly good pets (my girls came from a pet shop) but they DO tend to get sick easier. More often than not they're fed all the WRONG things, and are bred with quantity rather than quality in mind, so they have unknown, less healthy, genetics. My girls got active myco ( http://ratguide.com/health/bacteria/mycoplasma_myc... ) at age 5 months and kept having to go to the vet every three months, and at 50 € a vet trip, that racked up something like eight or nine times 50€, i.e. 400 to 450 € just for myco in two years. Try asking here http://www.goosemoose.com/component/option,com_smf... to see if there are breeders or rat rescues in your area. If at all possible, get your rats from a breeder - they'll be bred with HEALTH in mind, and so might not get active myco at all.Get more than one rat (of the SAME gender!) - every minute that you're outside of home (work, school, hobbies, your social life, etc.) and/or not handling your rat, it sits in! its cage, all alone with nobody to play with, getting depressed. Solit! ary rats tend to be clingy, neurotic, and, in some cases, aggressive. Two rats are really no more work than one, but they're twice the fun, and they keep each other company....answers 11:DO NOT BREED BUNNIES PLEASE!!!!!answers 12:she'll start "nesting". with her fur she will pull it out to make a nest. she will also use hay and bedding. you can take her to a vet or just monitor her belly.answers 13:go to the pet store and pick up a book about rabbits and breeding them ..(gives you all the information you will need)answers 14:You must keep the male (buck) and female (doe) rabbits seperated at all times, they can breed at 6-11 months, females MUST breed under a year old as they won't be able to after that, when breeding put the male in her cage but not overnight as bucks will stress her out, witness the mate and take her out, repeat this within a day and then she should be pregnant.Gestation lasts 31 days, the kits will be born with no fur and eyes closed until 14 days.
