    Guinea Pig Owners PLEASE HELP!!!

    Cervical lymphadenitis, perhaps? If so, it's caused by a Streptococcus bacterium, and yes, it is contagious. Here's a webpage that has info on CL in cavies: http://www.guinealynx.info/forums/viewtopic.php?p=160439

    Chinchilla Genetics questions

    Personally, I don't think it makes sense to say that there is absolutely no way an animal can produce a certain color when clearly there IS a way they can. (I don't think someone should advertise, say, a standard as a "white carrier" or something, just because if bred to a white it can produce...

    Unless, of course, you breed her with a white.

    What Are You Currently Reading?

    I can't stand Twilight, and I know many people who feel the same way. :nah: I might be willing to try one of her early books, but I'm not really into lycanthropic sex, especially not gratuitous amounts of said sex. The Anita Blake series has never called out to me as something I need to read. :P

    Where are you going this summer?

    I'm going to England in mid-July. I'm excited, but not looking forward to spending the amount of money it's going to require.

    Milk

    Eww. :vomit: That reminds me of the time my dad (who is a commercial airline pilot) got called to the back of the plane he was flying by a stewardess (back in the pre-9/11 days); a lady passenger back there was breast-feeding her pet kitten. He put a stop to that right away, but was thoroughly...

    I need to stop going to the pet store.

    Ah, thank you for clarifying. Again, good luck with them.

    I need to stop going to the pet store.

    Yes, they're much too young for veggies. Don't feed them any fresh veggies until they're about 6 months old. I can't believe the pet store was even legally allowed to sell bunnies that young. They don't look older than 3 weeks. That makes me very angry. :banghead: They're very cute though. Good...

    Is owning a chin really what you expected?

    I wasn't surprised when I got my girls, because I had thought about getting a chin for about 2 years prior to bringing them home, and had done a ton of research in that time. There are two things that have surprised me a little bit though. The first is that my chins don't enjoy being touched AT...

    Need some help with a Richardson's Ground Squirrel!!

    Aww, poor little guy. Good for you for rescuing him! One question: what do you mean by the term "whistle dog"? A quick Google search didn't exactly turn up any definitions that I think you meant.

    Dog pics!

    This is Puck. He's technically my boyfriend's dog, but I paid for him, so that makes him "kind of" mine, right? ;) He's 6 months old now, but in this picture he was about 4 months old. He's a sable Pembroke Welsh corgi, and he's a hoot. :D

    I quit my job

    Ugh, this is so true. I have a BS and almost have a Master's degree, and I'm currently working for $6.75 an hour at a gardening store, in a position that is normally filled by high school or undergraduate college students. I've been trying my butt off to get a full-time, "grown-up" job since...

    Question About My Chinnies' Genetics

    No, standard grey is not dominant over all other colors. White, beige, TOV, and many of the ebony genes are all generally dominant over standard grey. In fact, the only colors you usually come across that are recessive to grey are violet and sapphire. Since beige is dominant over standard, your...

    CashCrate

    Well sure, if you want to spend all your time doing it. I suppose I should have qualified my statement that one shouldn't expect to make significant amounts of money from CashCrate unless one essentially makes CashCrate a full-time job. CashCrate seems to be a fairly easy way to make a little...

    CashCrate

    Huh. Sounds a bit like a pyramid scheme in that respect. (Though from what I've read about CashCrate online, I don't think it is one... seems like it might be fine for making a few extra bucks, but one shouldn't expect to earn significant amounts of money with it.)

    Students or Graduates

    I have a BS in Animal Science and am *this* close to completing my MS in Agricultural Leadership, Education & Communication. I'm currently job hunting for a position either as an Extension agent, or in the research field (preferably in a genetics lab).

    ummm yeah, so I got one too...

    Wow, she looks JUST LIKE my Bella. Congrats! She's lovely. :)

    Pet wish list?

    If I had unlimited space, money and the desire to spend ALL of my time cleaning, I would have: Parrotlets Hamster(s) A salt-water aquarium A big aviary with different kinds of finches and canaries A pug More rabbits More chinchillas At least one more horse A Bengal cat However, I realize that...

    Your FAVOURITE book EVER?

    The book is 100 times better than the movie. (Incidentally, my mom would never let me rent Watership Down, the movie, when I was a little kid; she said it wasn't for little kids, which didn't make sense to me since it had bunnies on the box! Then when I got older, I was never able to find it in...

    What you get-rent wise?

    I'm sure it depends on where you live in the US, as well as in Canada. I imagine a house in rural Saskatchewan is going to be cheaper than a condo in downtown Toronto. Likewise, a house here in Nebraska is much cheaper than a decent apartment in Manhattan, NY.
