Q. What kinds of pets? How do you take care? What do you do? Can you handle them all at the same time?
A. I currently have living in my house w/me: 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 green iguanas, 1 box turtle, 6 parakeets, & 2 cockatiels. I have had 3 cats +/or 3 dogs at one time before, but that seems to upset the balance. It takes a certain amount of organization, and getting everyone/everything (including yourself) on some type of schedule: feed/watering, letting dogs outside to relieve themselves, pooper-scooping, changing bird cages, cleaning iguana/turtle cages, etc. Kind of challenging at first whenever another addition is made to the "family", but in time, everything fits in and works out, just takes patience and determination. Also - I don't see how anyone who owns a variety of (indoor) pets can be a "clean freak". Vacuum, dust, mop, all you want, but by the time you work your way from one end of a room to the other, where you started at is already getting furred and feathered! Diligence is the name of the game, but you can make yourself crazy trying to live in a sterile environment!
Why is it hard to find apartments that allows pets and is close to college campus?
Q. Is it because people don't want pets by busy streets? I swear, its impossible to find one.
A. The reason is that many landlords are wary of the potential damage those pets could do. Some pet owners are not remotely responsible for their pets and let them destroy places. I've known landlords who have been left with apartments with urine and sh*t stains and smells, scratches on the walls and wooden doors and also chewed up corners on the walls or on other stuff around the house. Unfortunately some very irresponsible pet owners have ruined it for future tenants who are responsible pet owners.
Even with a pet damage/security deposit, some landlords still don't feel comfortable renting to people who have pets because the damages might exceed the deposit and some tenants who bail end up disappearing.

What is the difference between sims 3 pets and sims 3 pets plus?
Q. I want to buy sims 3 pets, but I don't know which one would be better. Pets plus is $50 and regular pets is 40. I want to know what is a better deal. Thanks(:
A. The difference is that the Sims 3 Pets plus has the original Sims 3 in it AND the Sims 3 Pets. If you don't already have the Sims 3 and want Sims 3 Pets, this is what you would get. Just get the regular $40 one. Hope this helps!!
Are Chickens good pets to have in the big city ?
Q. I love to have two or three chickens as pets. One roosther & two hens but I live in the city. Any ideas or are they cool to have as pets ? Thanks.
A. Yes, chickens make awesome pets! They are fun to watch and easy to keep. Not only do you get free eggs, but chickens have soft feathers, they are fun to pet and they will follow you around, and the tamer ones may even fly up on your shoulder for food. Chickens come in hundreds of different breeds and varieties in all shapes, sizes, and colors. They arent that messy either, despite what most people think. The only way they can get messy is if you dont clean their cage.
Heres what you need to do:
Check into your local city ordnances. It may be against the rules to keep chickens at all in your area, or you may be allowed to have just a few. If you are getting a rooster, check with your neighbors first since some people are annoyed by crowing. Keep in mind roosters do not just crow in the morning but all day as well. Your hens will lay eggs without a rooster, but they wont be fertile.
Have a cage ready for them. Chickens are best kept outside, and all they need is a simple place to protect them from bad weather and predators. If you have an enclosed yard, you can free-range them most of the time (they will still need a coop to sleep in at night.) For just a few chickens, you can use a dog house or kennel or a rabbit hutch. The coop needs a couple nest boxes for them to lay eggs in and some perches for them to sleep on at night. Please provide at least 4 square feet per chicken.
A good feed for chickens are pellets (lay pellets). They should have food in their feeder and fresh water at all times. In addition to this, you can also feed them table scraps, fruit, mealworms, grapes, cracked corn, bread, and just about anything.
When you pick what breed of chicken you want, keep these things in mind:
Bantams (mini chickens) make great pets and come in many different colors and shapes, but they are capable of flying over fences and generally do not lay many eggs.
There are some breeds that are freindlier than others, and some that are skittish. If you raise them as chicks and hold them a lot they will be very tame as adults. Friendly breeds include brahmas, bearded d'uccles (a bantam breed), cochins, and sometimes rhode island reds, americaunas, and australorps. Leghorns, though they lay well, are generally very skittish and do not like to be touched.
What color eggs do you want? Different breeds of chickens lay different colored eggs, ranging from white, pinkish, brown, blue/green (Americaunas chickens), and even blackish or chocolate brown (pendescenas and marans).
There are a number of hatcheries that sell day old chicks, but they usually have a minimum order of 25, so you will have to find a place to get your chickens. Check in the newspaper or ask at a local farm supply store or feed store if they sell chicks.
If you are going to have a rooster and want your hens to go broody and hatch chicks, pick a breed that has a tendency to do so. Most bantam breeds do, as well as polish chickens and cochins.
Good luck with getting chickens!
