Ok, my brother has a snake. She is a 1 year old ball python. Shes about 14 inches long. My question is, when shes in her cave, she likes to pick it up, and then crawl under it. Is this a normal thing? Shes not shedding, so that can't be why shes doing it. Sometimes she gets stuck, and goes to sleep while its laying on her. Is she going to be ok? (link)
This is not unusual. Snakes like to be in the dark and be warm. If she is not shedding you might want to take her to a vet. Sorry ,I can't be more of a help.AskBritt


One of my cats has started peeing in my room. Anytime time else he uses the litter box. He only does it in my room. Does anyone have any idea as to why he started to do this or how I can get him to stop? I have 2 other cats and he is our newest one, but we have had him since March. He just started this. Thanks for your help! (link)
I know how you feel because I have 4 cats and one of them does this. BUT I know how it starts and how to stop it. First,this usally happens in older cats but he is being teritorial. If you have carpet use a damp cold colorless cloth and get it all up. Make sure you get it up. Use cleaning products if you have to. You have to get the scent gone. And try socalicing your cat around the others. Try talking to both of them. And I would keep your door closed when your gone and ONLY leave it open when your there and WATCHING. AskBritt


my cat is getting really sick i took my cat to the vet and everything what should i do to stop her from suffering please help...
i will rate high just somebody help... (link)
I don't know the detail of your cats condition.If you are this serious about your cats health and there is nothing that you can do to help it get better. I would put the cat down. Now that seems harsh. Its hard but atleast you know you are putting it out of its pain. If that is just something you won't do then maybe try talking with the vet on some anibiotics of some sort. Sorry,AskBritt


My puppies (two small breed, one male one female) are so newspaper-trained that they won't go outside! Every time we come in from a walk they go straight to the newspaper and do their business. What should I do? (link)
Try putting them outside while you are gone. Don't leave the newspaper in the house anymore. Try putting it outside. When you have them going outside take the newspaper away.

i have had a sugar glider for three weeks now and she still won't let me hold her. i've tried holding a walnut on my hand but she just steals the walnut and runs off. i tried to hold her while she was occupied with her nut but she kinda attacked me. i don't want her to be unsocialized because i don't think i'll get the full enjoyment out of her. Please help me. She's the cutest thing and when you look into her big buggy eyes you just want to hug her. oh yeah, she's a little under a year old if that helps

Sugar gliders are like that. You have to basicly earn her trust.Firts just start little by putting you hand in the cage and feeding,watering, and beding her like you would normaly do. (But pay no attention to her) You sort of have to act like she isnt there so that she gets that your not there to hurt her. If that doesn't earn her trust in 2-3 weeks. Then try putting her in a quiet room but were you family can pass by and talk to her that you visit regularly so that she gets used to the new suroundings and you of coarse.If that still doesnt work . Let her out regularly so that she get used to and the house in stead of being cooped up in a cage and then trying to be handled by a huge thing. I hope I was a help.

my sun conure *bird* squacks so much! its so loud and we cant stop him... any ideas to get him to quiet down? i dont want a website i want real advice (link)
He might be lonely. I would give him mor attention or mabe a friend and bigger cage. My friend put hers in a outside cage that was huge that you could walk in and it was happy. It didn't make as much noise then. So I would try a bigger cage. THen maybe if he keeps on find a friend.

hey i just got two dwarf hamsters. they are cool but i have a few questions. what dose the kissing noise mean? and how do you tell the gender of them? thanx. i give fives if you are serious. (link)
They usally make that noise when they are happy. How do I know and this is from my own experiance. The gender is a little harder. The males hve pretty big "Buts" and have a little skin showing on there stomach. I didn't have girls sorry.


ok well i have a boyfriend and we've been together for 3 months since today. and lately i haven't been sure of what to do. ok well i will show you a conversation with a guy friend of mine instead of type it all because it says it all in the conversation:

Me: i have alot of friends we offer to give me drugs for free but i say no though it gets really tempting
Friend: dont
Me: i won't next time i get tempted i shall think of you because weirdly when i think of (boyfriend name) i want to do it even more.....
Me: and i don't know why
Friend: wow
Friend: weird
Me: i'm confused does that mean i don't like him?
Friend: im guessing yes
Me: i don't know
Me: sometimes i think i do sometimes i think i don't
Me: i keep wanting to ask him for a little break to see if i still like him or if i want someone else but like i don't want to be mean and i don't like regret as i had said before
Friend: oh
Me: but like he's getting really serious about me...
Friend: ask him to slow down then
Me: ah i'm confused
Me: i think i like him and i dont think i like him i dont want a relationship but i do want a relationship and think he's gunna dump me but i also thinks he's not and i tihnk i want a break but i also think i dont
Friend: wow
Me: i'm bad at relationships :-\
Me: i sound like a bad girlfriend
Friend: no
Me: yes i do
Friend: no u dont
Me: i' have 54 ex boyfriends
Friend: u count?
Me: i can never decide what i want
Me: no (boyfriend name)asked me how many i've had so i had to find out
Me: i don't rememeber more than half of their names
Me: my longest relationship was 4 months well actually 3 years but i don't like to mention that one
Me: i have no idea what i want out of my life
Me: i can't even figure myself out
Me: how can i know what a guy wants when i can't even tell what i want
Me: grrr
Friend: i got an idea
Friend: have fun with your life
Me: how can i have fun with all this crap
Friend: just forget about it all
Friend: nothings goin to make me not like you

sorry if it was long but i'm not sure what i should do (link)
All I have to say is don't put anything harmful in you body that your gonna regret. Not for anyone! Don't be tempted. Don't let people put you in a place where you have to do something you dont want or shouldnt do.


My boyfriends birthday is coming up and I have no clue what to get him! I've asked him for some ideas but he doesn't give me any good ones. Any Ideas???? (link)
watch
wallet/moneyclip
gift certificates to his favorite stores

I can't really say it is up to you and I am sure you will get him the right thing. I don't know what you limit is?


okay... so my brother always swears at me and calls me fat and ugly and stuff... and he hits, punches, kicks, etc. me all the time. not enough to leave a bruise or anything (occasionally) but i'm not sure if this is considered abuse? also, my mom (my mom doesn't do it a LOT) and my sister both always tell me i'm stupid, ugly, fat, (same as my brother) but they don't hit me unless they're really mad... do you consider this abuse? (link)
Well we all know that sisters and brothers fight and thats there nature. Let me just say I have had my own experiances. But if your brother and mother are hurting you on purpose I would tell an authority that you can trust...maybe a nurse at your school or a teacher. If your older than maybe you should try talking to them and your sibblings. Maybe at dinner at the table. That is all I can say...just be safe.

There is this guy I like and i dont know if he likes me. he says he likes talking to me most in school but yet since people are making fun of our friendship he dont want to talk to me in person. I really like him and I dont want to lose him. What do I do?? (link)
Well you should say hey we been friends for______and I really miss talking to you and hanging out . Who cares what other people think. And if he is really your friend and cares about it as much as you do hopefully he will see it.


AskBritt
