Bunnies, chicks are not low-maintenance pets
Contrary to popular belief, rabbits are not low-maintenance. They enjoy a wonderful life and live about 10 years. They should live indoors and absolutely should be spayed or neutered. You really need to educate yourself about the wonderful, positive aspects of owning a bunny.
Chickens are not the easiest pets on the planet. They need pens and pens need cleaning. Roosters may wake up the neighborhood and hens seem to never stop clucking. Both bunnies and chickens, like all baby animals and birds, grow up fast. So to treat your pet fairly and responsibly, you need to read about the species and provide the best environment they need.
If your impulse gift was a kitten or a puppy, then you need to kitten or puppy proof your house immediately. There are supplies to get, trips to the veterinarian for appropriate shots, licensing, food and toys, and above all, proper training.
Dear Uncle Matty: I recently changed Andy's food to a more expensive brand that I'm sure has more good things in it, but he is not eating very much. I also think his tummy gets upset. Why is this happening? He is a 2-year-old Boston terrier. Thank you. Ruthanne M., St. Petersburg, Fla.
