I have a useless 55 gal aquarium that no longer holds water and i am hoping it would be ok to fill it with soil and use it as an outdoor planter for my nephews 2 tomato plants and maybe a little bit of lettuce or something. does anyone know if that would be safe and if my plants would grow?

we recently found 2 $100 bank of hardin stocks from 1917. and would like to find out if they are worth anything today. we know that the bank of hardin merged with bank midwest at one point and have no idea what these stocks would be worth in to days market if anything but would love to find out. thank you for any help with this and hope to hear something soon.

ok here is the story a 3 weeks ago my cat had a litter of 5 kittens well the dog Lady a dauchund was actually there for the birth and helped clean and even cut cords on all of them Shadow the momma ended up moving them to an area that was out of her reach so we figured she would be ok well yesterday Shadow moved them under a bed in the kids room and as of this morning Lady has not left them for hours and is flipping out everytime one of them gets more than 3 ft from her and goes and gets them to put them back she is even attempting to nurse them which is crazy since she has never had puppies and has only been in heat once about 2 months ago. has anyone ever heard of this or know anything i can do to keep her from being so obsessed with them?

i would like to get a pair of does as pets for my family i have about half an acre of land and want to make sure it is enough to keep a pair on

i really need to know as i may be picking up a few wild horses and i know its illegal to sell horses without them being uptodate on there cogins and i want to make sure that these horses will not be carrying any contagious diseases especially one that can kill a horse the horses are coming from a guy who bought some property and apparently the horses and there colts were running wild on it and have never really been messed with i have already informed him that if there are babies there could be a stallion on the property as well he knows nothing of horses so i am planning to pay for the cogins as well as worming and anything else that may need done to them like hoof trimming and everything else apparently a friend of his daughter managed to round the two mares and there colts into a makeshift corral so i am not sure if they are even being fed correctly i do have experience with horses and also have help with them so dont put me down for trying to save these animals at least im trying

ok heres whats going on i am in the process of rescueing 10 cockatiels and 2 parakeets and am building an aviary for them to live in as right now the cockatiels are all house in a 2 by 2 by 4 ft parrot cage which is way to small the aviary i am building is indoors and the total dimensions will be 6ft wide 3 ft deep and 11 ft tall with walls acting as 3 sides of the cage with the front as wire mesh with a door is this big enough or if i should build a bigger 1

im not sure what to use on the walls and floor of the cage to make cleaning easier on me i know paint can be hard to clean and i dont want any leakage to go onto the floor underneath the cage i will be using newspaper over whatever flooring is chosen so it is easy to change out daily

i have owned cockaties and parakeets before and know how to care for them so dont say i shouldnt rescue them if i dont have the experience i have lots of experience with both types of birds and just want to get these out of a bad situation

ok i need advice on how to set up my 4 ft by 18 in by 18 in cage for 5 or 6 baby leopard geckos i plan to have several regular hides 2 moist hides 2 water dishes and a calcium lick dish and a few fake plants but i need help with the substrate i need something that will look good yet be safe for the babies the cage is going to be in my livingroom so if anyone has good ideas please let me know also if you have pics of your setup i would love to see them to give me some more ideas on how it will be setup also what are some alternative foods i already have a cricket supplier but would like to add variety if you can think of anything else i may need for them please feel free to give your opinion i would be greatful for any ideas and info thanks

the foals i am looking at are at a sale barn i am looking at the paint and three sorrels there are pics on photobucket the link is below all are beautiful and i really cant beat the prices the paint is only 275 and the sorrels are 150 each i may actually get 2 or 3 if my fiance is willing we have the room. please give me your opinions on the ones im looking at and on the others too if you want i think they look a little thin and maybe to young to be away from the mommas so i really want to get at least 1 out of the situation but it may just be me

ok my dog is a 75 lb pitbull and the last time he was in a dog run he chewed through it and escaped through the rather large hole he put in the side. it was the kind made of heavy gauge chainlink and was 10 ft by 15ft. i now keep him on a chain when he has to go outside but would like to get a kennel he cant chew through so he doesnt have to be chained when outside. i hope that someone can give me some good ideas for either making a kennel or a good place to find one premade that he cant escape from must be atleast 10 by 10 by 6 ft and would prefer it if it had a top so he cant climb out as he is a major escape artist and loves to play catch me if you can.lol any help would be greatly appreciated

the first kitten born like this was still born but the second is alive and doing well after a slow start i have never seen kittens born this way it looked like the placenta actually grew around the kitten there was no gap were it may have wrapped around it was one solid piece is this normal the breed is 50% bengal and 50% domestic short hair.
