We are getting a 6 week old male shih tzu. Is it ok to plane his potty pad and bed in his playpen? He will be kept in his playpen when we are not home and he will sleep in it over night. When we are home do we keep his potty pad in the play pen so he
There are many different options and opinions on the best way to house train - I personally think using a crate is best and quickest. Basically you have pup in the crate (no pee pad) whenever you aren't actively watching him AND take him out to go to the bathroom every hour, after eating, after drinking, after waking, after playing, or any other times he pauses for a second. The rest of the time, you're either 100% focused on him, or he's in the crate. As long as the crate is the right size (easy for him to turn around, but not a whole lot bigger), he won't eliminate in his resting place. if you go with the play pen method, it relies on him just figuring it out a bit more and may or may not work as well or quickly. Instead of having a clear resting place it's also a potty and meal place - some dogs do great with this and others not so much.

Hi! I was wondering I have the guinea pig habitat plus that includes a divider I am thinking about getting second guinea pig. I am aware that when u first introduce them I am supposed to separate them at first. Will that cage work if I keep the divid
I think at least for a few days until you figure out if they get along, this setup is ok. Long term, it'd be great if both pigs had a larger area at least to play in, like a playpen or other kind of pig-proofed room in your house. Have fun!

I am looking into buying a new cage for my Syrian hamster and my current cage is a total of 288 in.² total it's 16 inches in width 12 inches in depth and 18 inches in height. I found two cages I want to choose from the first one being a total of 95
I recommend choosing the larger cage for sweet pea. Hamsters like to have separate bathroom / toilet areas well away from their bedding, so the one with the biggest base area is the best. Height of cage is less important. Also provide safe chewing sticks for her to gnaw her teeth on.

What are some ways to get a rabbit to stop chewing blankets, carpets, clothes, etc.? Dandie has destroyed my sheets, blankets and one of my couch cushions.
Rabbits love to chew. Your best options are to limit your rabbit's access to these items through the use of playpens or gates blocking them, and to make sure Dandie has enough appropriate chew toys in their environment or play area to encourage healthy chewing on those items instead.

i might get a dwarf hamster and i was wondering what you recommend
Hi! Hamsters can make great pets if they are socialized and handled gently. A standard hamster cage with a wheel, tunnels, a hide box, some soft bedding in which to burrow (like carefresh), fresh food and water are the basic needs of any pet hamster. If you want, you can add a network of tunnels to provide more exercise and enrichment opportunities. Hamsters can get sick and should only be fed hamster specific food items to decrease the chances of tooth and gastrointestinal problems. It’s also a good idea to take your new pet to the vet shortly after you get them so you have a baseline of health and have an established relationship with a vet in the event your hamster does become ill. Good luck!
