| Hi Grapes, I found the best chew toy for a aggressive chewer is the Kong they are made from a durable nylon rubber. My Doberman had one and has not yet been able to chew it up. You can find them in most pet supply stores or you can Google Kong Toys. They come in all sizes and durability. ↑ |

| I cant give my dog stuffy toys or any thing he can chew through. He is the same as yours, he will tear any thing I give him to shreds. If you get the Kong past be prepared... it is messy! I don't bother with the treats or past my dog is quite content with just the toy. Let me know how he likes it. ↑ |

| I had rats before, I love them! The last one I had she lived for about 5 years the one before that lived for 5 years as well. They are extremely smart critters. I also once had a pot belly pig, he was the cutest little guy but the attitude he had was unbelievable. ↑ |
| Name: lindalu | Date: Nov 18th, 2007 12:12 AM |
| They say a few words, the Meyers will say I love you, Vander and no. Vander is my dogs name. He will put the word together for example he might say...Vander no or I love you Vander. The Parrot let says step up and Bebe. Bebe is his name and step up is what we tell him when we want him to step on to our hand. ↑ |

| One of my rats had mammary tumors, we had to have them surgically removed. The male we has neutered, I cant stand the huge testicle they have. My pig was sweet but he was so much work to care for he slept in the house in a dog bed beside my Doberman. He would have been fine had I got him when he was a baby, but I adopted him when he was 1& 1/2 years old and he was already set in his stubborn ways. ↑ |

| What kind of Parrot is it? I picture a Macaw. ↑ |
| Name: grapes | Date: Nov 18th, 2007 12:32 AM |
| I'm not sure, all i know is he is huge. The owner matt told me that he knows my voice now and when he hears me in the store he just starts singing and talking, i've even had him on my shoulder before. my youngest is into horses have you ever owned one? ↑ |
| Name: lindalu | Date: Nov 18th, 2007 12:36 AM |
| No, no horses. Also you should never allow a parrot to sit on your shoulder, they are hight dominant and may bite your face. ↑ |
| Name: grapes | Date: Nov 18th, 2007 12:41 AM |
| I'll remember that, matt is the owner of him and he is very trained and does some instore things with some local schools within our area and as far as i know has never bit anyone . ↑ |

| All a parrot sees while on your shoulder is your head, and one day they may decide they don't want you on their perch. Their perch being your shoulders! ↑ |
| Name: grapes | Date: Nov 18th, 2007 12:44 AM |
| Now i understand, you know alot about animals, i've read some of your replies on some other threads and wow you give GREAT advice. ↑ |
| Name: lindalu | Date: Nov 18th, 2007 12:44 AM |
| The bigger parrots are less likely to bite but thats not to say they wont. My Myers is just a little guy and he will bite if he is allowed to shoulder perch. He thinks he is bigger than every one in my house! Lol!! ↑ |
| Name: lindalu | Date: Nov 18th, 2007 12:46 AM |
| Thanks so much! I try to give the best advice I can. I don't know every thing about all animals but I do think I know a fair amount. ↑ |
| Name: grapes | Date: Nov 18th, 2007 12:47 AM |
| I always wanted a bulldog any words of advice regarding them? ↑ |
| Name: grapes | Date: Nov 18th, 2007 12:48 AM |
| not saying i'm getting one but saw one at a local pet store here a few weeks back and wow are they expensive, 2300.00, that's from apet store not a local breeder. ↑ |

| Bull dogs are stubborn dogs, it all depends on the type of bull dog. The American bull dogs are bigger/taller then the English bull dog and their weight varies, They are very powerful but with a great natured towards people. It is common for the American bulldog to be animal aggressive. The English bull dogs are shorter and much more stout weighing between 60-75 lbs, also very powerful! They are sensitive to temperatures and cant be walked for long distances. They can over heat in the hot weather if over exercised. ↑ |
