Probably something that eats the driftwood that was dormant on it. Came to life due to the humidity. Most likely harmless to your crabs. Did you wash the wood with hot water and or boil it?

>>2466005
No I didn't I washed everything else. I kinda fucked up on doing the wood.

>>2465946
yes

>>2465946
Yes, but those fish are so durable they can struggle and rot for many months before dying.
When they are properly cared for, they can live well over twenty years.

>>2465948
So if I were to take care of them properly in this bowl, would they be okay?

Fire cleans everything, anon.

>>2465811
Spray bottle on stream knocks them off, or squish them.

But I need my bushes alive

>>2465820
I'm dealing with pic related on almost every other leaf on all four of my bushes. There has to be an easier way.

It's an assassin bug, but it's not a kissing bug.

Adult pigs do turn kind of ugly yeah. Although it also depends on how well they're kept. The pig you've posted probably spent most of its life in a small enclosure. Pasture raised pigs usually look healthier plus their meat is so much better it doesn't even compare.

>The vet is closed

Find one that isn't.

Failing liver is my guess but only on the basis that it happened to my dog. Rip webber, my only consistent friend for the duration of his life.

Buy 100 count of 50mg benadryl and force it down her throat. She'll fall asleep then overdose. Or shoot her in the head.

I'd say bearded dragons are the best beginner lizard since they tolerate being handled a little better than other lizards.
Just make sure you don't use sand as the base for the tank and make sure you do a lot of research before getting it because the people at petsmart and petco don't know shit about the animals they sell.

Speaking of, look for a breeder in your area to buy from as well. The lizard will be a little more expensive but it's worth it because it will be less likely to die early from a disease rather than one you pickup in a pet store

>>2465246

Don't buy anything before discussing this with your husband. Reptiles vary considerably in the amount of care and space required so it's really important you're both on board with whatever will be needed for the species chosen. Since he has previous reptile experience he will probably have something in mind anyway.

It'll be okay anon, I know you're worried and I'm sure your furred friend senses that, but he doesn't have the same concept of life and death as you and as such needs you to help make both of your lives more fulfilling. Go outside, get some fresh air, look at all the life around you, then go give your cat some love. He's happy to have a companion. I'm allergic personally, and dogs are my furred bros more often than not, so here's one that makes me happy.

Maybe his diet is causing problems? What do you feed him?

Thanks, man

This and Sheba delicacies twice a day, we've tried giving him better wet food, but him and our other cat don't like it as much as sheba. We steer clear of anything with cereals and veggies. We'll see what the vet concludes, I guess, but I think if it's something he ate we must have dropped it on the floor or something. He's quite a little retard, he chews on anything, have to hide all cables and such.

Fledgling is being fed and taken care by parents. A fledling is supposed to walk on floor level until it can fly and survive on its own.
Put it back and them alone

Cont.

We couldn't talk with one another because of our language barrier. She made gestures of placing the bird in this tree here. Left it there, and went on my way. Checked periodically outside to see if the mother was near the tree. Took the bird out and placed it back in making absolutely sure the mother saw it. Came back for one more visit and the mother of the house came back making gestures saying that the mom is coming back to visit the baby and feeding it. Fast forward to today and the mother of the house came with the bird to my house. If i read her gestures right, the bird must of kept falling off. So she gave it to me and now here i am. One thing i did forget to mention was how the mother bird was attacking my cat. No contact was made but it sweep in real close like it was a hawk catching its prey. Again i dont think my cat attacked it since it had no marks. But the mother was extremely unpleasant with my cat. Also, whenever i was outside yesterday, the mother bird will squawk at me, Not in an offensive way, more like it was trying to tell me something. My guess it wanted its baby back in its nest but i couldn't find it and I don't really want to dig in a spider infested tree.

I can provide more pictures if you want.

I would like a guess on what kind of species this is. I am in southern California,

>>2465156
That was a quicker response than I would of hoped for. So I should let nature takes it course? My concern being is we have cats in our neighborhood. This bird just got lucky it was my cat who was around and not some other one. Where is the best place to leave it? Will it be okay to nature it a bit before releasing it?

Why is it spooky?

>>2465155
Look at its derp-ass face

>>2465159
Clearly you've never seen a bearded vulture. You want spooks, try having one of those big bastards look you in the eye. They know you harbor a delicious skeleton in you, they know, and they're just waiting for you to die so they can get at that sweet, sweet marrow.

>>2465041
You are clearly a human, that is a moth. That is not your son.

Where did you get that owl butterfly?

>>2465050
One of his wings was ripped and he was flailing around on the road

It's about training

Some people can walk their dogs 24/7 without a leash, and the dog never strays more than a couple of meters away

>>2465039
The thing is we never really trained my dog not to leave our sight.

I would say they're on a pretty even level of training and are both bonded to their owners. They're also the same breed mix and age which is why I find it interesting that they're so different.

>>2465039
What about those stories about certain breeds having no sense of direction.

It's a fucking rat.

>>2465051
Rats are intelligent charming creatures that crave love and attention. It isn't an emotionless little robot you can just throw in a corner like a cat, rats need proper care.

OP check the "pocket pets" thread

>>2465052
I've posted there thanks! I've been reading about rats and how clever they are. Do you think returning them or giving them to a friend (who owned rats before) would be cruel or really upset them? Would it upset them more living in the environment I described? I would definitely spend time looking after them - but I don't know if that would make up for the environment
