Archived threads in /an/ - Animals & Nature - 304. page

Don't get an animal that you are allergic to, or allergic to what you have to feed it. It won't work out well and if someone else lives with you, they will end up being your pet slave while you stand behind them and watch them tend to your pets needs. They will begin to hate you.

I imagine you have the means to house either of these or you wouldn't post this on /an/ like a huge retard.

I'd honestly go for the mink.

>>2338989
Also do minks "bite" things to test them like a dog might or do they bite to kill.

Honestly depending on that, both of these might be utterly terrible for you.

yeah, I mean it sounds like a perfect fit!

>being happy about working in a fucking pet store
selling animals to people who kill them within the same month sure must be a great feeling

>>2338857
What?

>>2338860
The only live animals in their store are fish, and reptiles. I don't even think they have bunnies.

Peel the snakes like bananas.

Any advice in general would be appreciated, really don't wanna fuck this up.

I think it will just take a bit of time, maybe put a tshirt of yours in her cage when she's in it so she can get more used to your scent.

It will never like you, these things are fucking assholes

I know the basics, but I'm just wanting as much personal information as I can. You don't have to be autistic about it.

I love brown and white border collies, i think they are genetically predisposed to health issues though so it kinda sucks.

Are you sure that isn't a tick? Looks remarkably tick like, and is in the right spot.However, whatever you do, if it is a tick make sure you remove it properly using a tick tool or take it to a vet who can remove it for you. You don't want to leave the head in the body.

As for anything else barring ticks, it could be a benign tumour or it could be a cyst. There is very little way of knowing without a pathology report. You can either take it to your vet, have it removed and then sent away for laboratory analysis. Or you could leave it and monitor it- if it grows/your dog starts to bother it etc then you will need to have it removed.

It depends. When I was moving and the place wasn't ready yet (fuckers) we had to stay in a hotel for a week. We left the cat in a pet resort and he was so happy to have us back. He's a fatty but he did not eat the entire time he was there.

I've left my cat alone for a few weeks without anyone looking after him and never had problems, I'm sure they get bored and they're happy when you return but they're generally pretty solitary animals anyway. As long as you have enough space for them to run around in circles. I can just leave massive amounts of food and water out for my cat but I know some people can't do that without their cat overeating to an insane degree.

cool thanks

I don't get it, what's the issue here?

>>2337953
The guy sounds so fucking stupid. Like those damn hippy people that freak out and stand up in a tree naked and through poop at you so you won't chop it down.

Just the type that goes way overboard and turns people away from their cause.

>>2337953
walmart is pretty bad keeping fish alive or applying the minimum amount of effort to keep the fish alive some guys are just trying to clean up the dead fish and keep the water from becoming septic
