arite well rite now im cleanin my hampster cage and im soaking EVERYTHING in dish soap and hot water...well my hampster like is in his lil hampster ball while im doing this and hes not like a tiny lil hampster hes really big!! and healhty...well he peed in his hampster ball and hes done this b4 but i juss wash the ball after i get the cage back together...shuld i wash the hampster??? how wuld i do it?? like in a bowl? i dont wanna kill my hampster but shuld i wash him?

Usually when a question says "I rate", I will avoid it and rate it low, but I like animals, so I'll help you out.

He will clean himself, like MFS said, but if he's soaked with it, and you really want to wash him, then be careful. I would suggest just using warm water, make sure it's not to cold or hot, and just kinda rinse him off. Don't try any soap or anything because if you don't get everything completely off then it could make him sick if he licks his fur. Try doing it in the sink so the water can just run off him into the drain, instead of just using a bowl.

my macaw is really big and she's not the nicest bird in the world..she wont let any one but my sister touch her...she's gettin used to me but she still goes after my fingers once in a while,
just the other she bit me..its really bad but i dont want to tell my mom bc she'll tell me not ot touch the bird...but i cant not play wit her(i luv my bird)
ps dont laugh im serious...i'll rate u

Birds can be really nice and cuddly, as long as they have the correct socialization and training.

http://www.parrotpages.com/links/macaws.shtml

Try this web site. And search online for "Macaw training" or "bird training"

I'm a Veterinary Technology major and work with many animals on a day to day basis, but birds aren't my specialty. But I remember reading a web site on Parakeet socialization that would really help you out, sadly, I can't find it right now. If you ask me personally, then I might be able to help more, when I have more time.
But, basically, making a bird trust you will take a lot of time. If your mom tells you not to touch the bird, make sure she understands that that will only make him meaner and meaner.

if ur on a like salad andvegie fruit diet and if u ate a lil btit of cereal like at 12 can u gain a lil bit of weight...im trying to eat every 4 hours

wow, that's actually a healthy diet. I'm glad theres someone on here with a healthy diet instead of someone who asks "Is it healthy to eat one vegetable a day and only drink water"

I would say your fine. Eating a little bit of something every four hours is really really healthy, you deserve to indulge, even if you only indulge in cereal. I say you deserve some Ice Cream!

I am 22 years old....And I dont know if I have ever had an Orgasam before. I am almost positive I have..Either that or I lead myself to belive I had one cause I have faked it so many times...I know thats mean. I have herd of females ejaculating...but that has never happened to me. If you are brought to orgasam, are you sopose to ejaculate or does this only happen to certain women. Please let me know different experiences you have had so I can better understand. I am 22 I feel bad that I am still confused with this issue

I'm 21, I've had orgasms, but I've never ejaculated. A female ejaculation is different than a female orgasm. Search online for "femlae ejaculation" and "female orgasm" and try to find an informational site. It might be hard because you'll probably also get a lot of porn sites.

If you aren't sure whether or not you've had one, then that probably means you haven't. It's not that uncommon, I have friends who are older than me who haven't. Plus most women are unable to have an orgasm through sex. It happens most often through masterbation, and oral sex, when the clit is stimulated, as opposed to your g-spot inside of your vagina.

There are a lot of web sites out there that help you with tips on oral sex, sex, masterbation, and female orgasms and ejaculation. It just takes time to weed through the porn sites.

Don't listen to these other people, Most women DO NOT ejaculate. When a female ejaculates it looks like a clear watery liquid. It's sopposed to be the most amazing orgasm ever. Read online on how to do it yourself, and how to have someone else do it. There is a very very clear difference between a female ejaculation, and an orgasm.

Im always being touched my guys! im like y do u guys touch me so much and there like ur so hott we cant resist and so i let them but it gets annyoing. my friends tell me that im lucky that i get the attention. what do u think?

Don't let them and they won't touch you.

They touch you because they can, not because your super hot. You don't have to be hot for every horny little boy to touch you, you only have to be easy.

if my face is like flaking cuz of dry skin but i have like 8 zits on each cheek that i need gone then what do i do to get the zits gone without creating new ones from the dead skin cells clogging pores?????
also, any tips to get my skin clear by school which is in 3 weeks for me???

Not everyone gets zits because of oily skin. You are probably getting zits because you have such dry skin.

Try taking a tiny bit of baby oil, spread it on your palms, and then spread it on your face. After you do that, your face will probably be way too shiny and greasy, so take a towel or paper towel and dab your face until you get the desired amount of moisture and dryness.

Do that every once in a while and it should help, but it probably won't completely get rid of your problem.

soemone asked me to make a salute for them, how do i do that? what the heck is it?

Why don't you ask that person what it is, instead of bothering everyone else with your unadvice-worthy question.

how come sum ppl freckle n sum ppl tan? and if u freckle how can u stop/get rid of ur freckles?

They don't always go away with age. I've always freckled. I will burn, and then tan, but then I will just end up with more freckles. People say it's cute. The only way to stop yourself from getting more is to never tan, unless you use sunless tanning.

i cant say my r's and everybody makes fun of me for it i mean i already think im ugly and i cant say my r's and i have a new york accent which makes it worse.. how can i get people to stop mocking me??

They're probably just joking around friendly-ish like. And if they aren't, then pretend they are and laugh with them... that will piss them off, which could be fun.

i have been single for like 5 months and i feel really lonley i dont like anybody now but when i do i feel like they are not gonna like me back i mean i dont put my pic on my advice column cuz i feel like people are gonna be like "wow shes ugly she needs to take that off" what do i do??

I always worried about crap like that in middle school and some of high school. Stop putting yourself down and you'll soon realize that no one else is putting you down. Keep your head high, and, if you do get the occasional asshole telling you that your ugly, don't bother with them.

I'm 21, and although I switched pictures, I was proud of my drunken stupid looking picture that I had on my column before.

1 of my friends wants to no if its ok 4 grls to have hair on their belly?

You actually have hair all over your body, it's just not extremely noticable everywhere. What she see's on her belly is probably nothing. She could just be over-reacting about a tiny bit of hair that only she can see.

any suggestions on avoiding razor burn?

try putting conditioner on the hair for two minutes every time you take a shower, even if it's just a little stubble. It will soften whatever hair is growing, and also make your skin softer. Also put lotion, or, my personal favorite, baby oil on twice a day.

This works for legs, under arms, and pubic hair. I suppose it would also work for your face if your a guy or if you have unsightly female hair problems.

hey man, i just decided to make a new column because i think that people think im an adult or something because of my username, its just a joke. im 15 and i dont want to make a new column, is it possible to change your user name or do i have no choice

It might be an option in the works, but if it is going to be an option, your only going to change it a few times, so be careful in deciding what you want to change it to this time.

also, I don't think your an adult. Even after you said you were fifteen, it seemed pretty obvious that you were a teenager.

me and eddie ( me exboyfriend ) broke up about 2 months ago, we went out for 3 years and things were really serious. i was 12 wen i went out with him and now im 15.i lost all my friends, and he lost all his.he broke up with me about 2 years ago and he was cheating on me for the last week of our realationship.i finally got over him and he came back to me.so we have been going out ever since.eddie is very controlling.he wouldnt like it if i had on makeup,he would get mad when i wore a thong to school, i had NO guy friends, and it was jus bad. i broke up with him bout 2 months ago cuz i couldnt take it anymore. he had an anxiety attack and went to the emergnecy room. he begs me everyday to go back out with him .ive been talking to a couple of guys and hes been threatin them.i have to admit- i do play with his head, one day im havin sex with him, then the next i dont talk to him. but now im really sick of it cause we still fite wen we dont even go out. i think i love him but idk if i shood talk to him or jus not talk to him at all. but if i hear he is with another girl ill get upset. im really confusing but i just need advise , should i not talk to him again? [ me and him cant work out as friends ] or jus try to aviod him..oh ya i saw ur pictures ur madd pretty

I'm guessing this was asked to a specific person, but I'm going to answer. You sound like your in the exact same situation as one of my good friends. She was thirteen when her and her boyfriend got together, and she was almost seventeen when they finally broke up, and I couldn't have been happier for her. He was abusive, both physically and mentally. This guy sounds a lot like her ex. He wouldn't let her have any guy friends, and he wouldn't let her try to dress nice for school. She lost all her friends and always talks about how she missed out on having a normal teenage life. For a long time they would still hang out, or at least try to, but they would get into a fight every time. Whenever I was there I ended up breaking up a fight, and I have seen some good guy friends beat him up because he was trying to be abusive with her.

She finally figured out that she had to stop all ties with him. She couldn't hang out with the same friends, could absolutely never drink together. She admitted to me that she does the same thing as you, sleep with him, but then ignore him and just fuck with his head.

They went out for a long time, and even though she knew he was an ass, she still got jealous. But she finally got smart and got rid of him. You should do the same thing. Just stay away from him and find a new life.

my friend always tells me im her best friend, but she tells everyone else that too. im never in her info on AOL or nothing @ all! in her xanga its all about these other people like how much she misses them and stuff. what should i do about this problem??

What problem are you asking about? You have a friend who pretends that you mean more to her than you actually do... I don't see the problem. Screw her and find a better friend.

ok the other day my lil brothers painted turtle laid eggs in the water of its tank. but we didnt know what to do! so we did what my grandfather told us to do. we buried them in the dirt and we r waiting for them to hatch! is that we did right? please i need help fasst!!!!!

You should try searching online about painted turtles, and how to care for eggs. I know that sea turtles bury they're eggs, but I don't know if it goes for all turtles.

They might not even hatch because, a lot of times, animals can lay eggs, but without a male around to fertilize them, they are basically useless.

i am 14 years old and i am pregnate. my mom wants me to give the baby up for adoption but the father of my baby doesn't want me to give it up. i am 7 months pregnate and i don't know what to do. it is a girl and i am afriad that if something goes wrong and i can't have children again and i give this one up i am never going to have a baby again. what should i do?

Do whatever you want to do. The father can't make you keep it, your mother can't make you give it up. But you can't give the kid up for adoption if the father wants it. It will go to him.

okay so this girl is suppose to b my friend but she likes the guy i love heind my back.. an my bets friend is her best friend cause they grew up together.. so this girl..lets cal her.. bitch.. (it fits!)tried kissin this guy (lets name him..Bobby!) behind my back.. but she told him she would tell me, but never did, so he did. But from wut he says she did while he was high but he still pushed her away cause he likes me an not her, well he dosnt like her like that. An tha bitch told bobbdy she did it to make me jealous an pissed off.. but heres the problem.. usually i would tell her off.. bitch her out til she cries, ya know? BUT im not suppose to know (it makes no sense i know) she only told bobby she was goin to tell me so he wouldnt.. but he did.. but i cant say anything cause i promised bobby i woudlnt. so i just nicley asked her if she liked him an she said "no" im goin crazii though.. i need to say something to her, but i love bobby to death an he hates when people break promises

Why wouldn't he want her to know that he told you this? That doesn't sound very trustful. Does he not want her to get mad at him... if so, then why would he care if he really doesn't like her. Talk to Bobby about this and tell him that either he should talk to her about this and tell her off, out of respect for you.... or else you will do it yourself.
