What to Do When Your Hamster Doesn’t Like You
Hamsters are naturally timid and may stay wary of their owner for months. Common signs include hiding, freezing low to the ground, frantic wheel-running, and acting out. Rebuilding trust takes gradual, gentle conditioning — letting the hamster learn your scent, avoiding forced handling, and keeping a calm environment.
Why Does My Parrot Lay Eggs That Don’t Hatch?
Unhatched eggs are infertile ('clear') eggs — from two females, an immature or disabled male, or poor mating. Improve fertility with the right pair, minerals, a calm environment, and a leaner diet.

My Shiba went into heat in late August (another female dog at home was rehomed on Aug 30, unsure if it affects her); since around the 30th she barely eats. She had an accidental mating on Sept 1, and from Sept 4 took dog birth control pills for three days. She still barely eats and is very picky; she ate a few bites today but almost none the next day. What caused this?
Poor eating has physical and psychological causes: hormone-driven appetite loss during heat usually returns after; separation from a long-time companion lowered her mood; the accidental mating may have frightened her. Give a calm environment and favorite foods; if she keeps refusing, rule out infection from mating or other illness at the vet.
How can I stop my dog from licking urine?
