What turtles can be kept with oscars (map fish)?
Oscars can be kept with red-eared sliders, painted turtles, and yellow pond turtles. These turtles have different diets and won't eat the oscars, and similar size means no threat, so they suit cohabitation. But provide a suitable environment — adequate water area, water quality, and temperature standards.

Can a dormouse use a reptile heating pad?
When keeping a dormouse, if the home is below 18 C with no heating, a heating pad under the outside of the cage bottom is fine; do not cover the whole bottom - leave half unheated so the mouse can escape the heat and avoid overheating heatstroke. A steady 20-35 C is suitable.
Why is my Pomeranian panting constantly?
After intense or prolonged exercise a Pom pants for a while, which is normal and settles. In high heat it also pants rapidly; move it to shade and give water to avoid heatstroke. Panting may also signal latent disease such as heart disease, so if it pants often, see a vet.
