Bribe them with food and be extra patient. It can take a considerable amount of time for them to be comfy with your presence. Birds not raised around humans typically never get quite as tame as ones that were, though.

Millet.

Can you specify how tame hand-reared birds will become?
I was hoping to tame a bird to at least relax in my presence and not freak if I put my hand near it. Also, can small birds that aren't hand-reared still learn how to do tricks other than step-up (eg. fly to and from a post when told, ring a bell for attention, etc) if trained correctly?

weed imo

>>2417740
Common weed. There is a plant that looks exactly like that which flowers, but it's ugly and not worth keeping.

Please do not plant:
Aloe
Japanese maple
Carnivorous plant
Hostas
Geraniums
Petunias
Marigolds

That is all, thank you.

He is right, it's a common weed.
Don't listen to the rest of what he said, his mental illness makes him say retarded shit.

Are you going to keep them?

If only one remains then youd better be ready to spend time with it

If you arent then try finding somebody with another kitten or at least another cat

This is what you get for adopting diseased stray kittens when you could be getting an older, healthy, fully vaccinated and cut cat from a shelter and reduce overpopulation. Hope atleast you caught the mom and got her spayed.

I'm planning on keeping them. But I see your point. I'm rather busy on the day-to-day so if one does have to go than I'll probably give the other up.

>>2417378
I wasn't planning on adopting at first. They just needed a home and I offered. The mother is hard to get a hold of because she runs from everyone. But if I have to euthanize I will personally catch her and spay.

That's a neat grasshopper

Leopard moth. I have them in NC too. They're my favorite.

looks like a giant leopard moth to me (i might be wrong but i'm pretty positive on this one). May I ask how big it was? These guys usually grow up to be at least 3 inches.

Here's a pic of one that i found. Hope I helped :)

Would snuggle

Aw i have gsp and redbone coonhound mix. he look like you doggo but he red

>>2415980
10/10 would pet

First off, people can lie about whether or not they are a vet lmao, so why would you take anonymous advice from anyone.

Second; vets cannot give advice over the phone or internet - https://www.avma.org/public/PetCare/Pages/VCPR-FAQs.aspx
>A VCPR is established only when your veterinarian examines your animal in person, and is maintained by regular veterinary visits as needed to monitor your animal’s health.

Everything from this point is my own opinion desu, so feel free to ignore it if you want. I personally would go through with the surgery because the positives outweigh the negatives in my opinion. There's a high risk to the surgery, but if it works out you have a tumor-free hamster who has a lot more time that she likely would have with the tumor, not to mention a better quality of life.

While I'm in no position to tell how much your hamster is worth to you, I can tell you that the cost of the surgery could be 4-5 times the cost of another hamster. It's something to keep in mind.

>>2415812
>4-5 times as much

Unless hamsters are now 100$, its much more than that. My vet is extremely cheap and charges $400 for tumor removals on rats. A hamster is smaller and some vet's won't bother. It all depends on how much op loves the ham, which is at the average death age for hamsters anyways. As most vet's charge 600 or more for tumor removal.

This is strange. Wild orcas never attack people, unless horribly abused.

I have a snail that hitchhiked its way into my indoor compost bin, it was a baby and its now huge. I throw washed eggshells and fresh leafy greens for it. One thing that has me worried - do snails crave/want light to survive? I keep it in the bin 24/7 and i cant free it outside because its all dry asphault

>>2408083
They don't really need it but it probably prefers to have a day/night cycle, even if they are mainly active at night.

>>2408083
No animal needs sunlight. It is a fucking myth. Cats are just dumb and sit in it to get warm, but all mammals are mildly allergic to it. Hypertrichosis is present everywhere, and it dictates terrible effects from sunlight exposure.

Ever had an infected hair? You are allergic to the sunlight.

I'll just stop, you probably won't get anything out of this hereditary allergy discussion.

Snakes don't play with things. Just give her an extra tasty/fatty foodthing.

poster shipping tubes. paper towel rolls too if your snake isn't already too thick to get through them without getting stuck. cereal boxes with an entrance hole cut in. bendy vines from the pet store. more stuff to climb like cork bark and branches. I know BP's are mainly ground dwelling but if you give them stuff to climb they will climb it, although they may wait until the middle of the night when you're asleep to do so.

As far as I know there are only two species of poisonous snake, the Japanese grass snake (Rhabdophis tigrinus) and the common garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis).

Everything else should be safe to consume, after appropriate cooking of course. Do not eat raw meat from wild animals.

Be careful when catching the snake though, its bite might be venomous.

Enjoy your meal!

Probably not venomous. Only venomous species in Florida that is mostly black is the cottonmouth, and i don't think it's very likely to find one in a rodent burrow on residential property. It could be one of several non-venomous; garter, black racer, southern ring-necked, banded water snake, something like that.
