Koi can hibernate if you prepare accordingly.

About the indoor keeping: First off, 50 gal won't suffice for an adult. A RES for example is gonna need 100+ gal, smaller species still around 70. If you're keeping it heated indoors it'll probably take quite some time until your pond is warm enough for it to be reintroduced, which will probably lead to it being kept more indoors than outdoors, dunno how much that would bother you. You can also hibernate them in a fridge. I don't know how harsh the winters are there, but there's probably also species that could hibernate well outdoors, fridge is definitely safer though.

Turtles are perfectly fine alone. Keeping male + female for instance will just lead to the male constantly bothering the female, trying to mate.

Turtles can definitely be assholes. I wouldn't be able to keep my yellow slider female with any fish. I'd suggest smaller species like a musk turtle or a male map turtle.

I actually didn't even think to look into native species.

Looks like a rhinoceros beetle larvae.

Correction: Stag beetle.

Phyllophaga spp
They usually lives under the soil and are bad for the roots of the plants cause they feed themselves out of it.

The insides (yellowed pretty quickly), and was pretty leaky with fluids.

Forgot pic

dunno but all the crappy citrus could be boiled in sugar syrup and canned like that for the pies later.

In general pit bulls and other "aggressive breeds" are the very reason they have those limits. They don't care about the weight, they care about the breed. If the dog doesn't fall under the specified rules either don't get it or move somewhere where it's allowed. Why is that so hard for people to understand?

Although there are plenty of laws out there protecting a tenant from the landlord for doing truly fucked up things this particular situation boils down to one thing.

It's the landlord's property. If he doesn't want you on it you have to go. Pointing at your neighbors dog and going "BUT HE HAS ONE WHY CAN'T I?!" isn't going to help. It might be worth sitting down with the landlord and having a civil discussion about it but that's about as much as you can do. If he doesn't want you there, you have to go.

>>2435809
Did you sign something that agreed to no dogs over 30 lbs? or was it later dropped on you? did you know about any weight limit beforehand? Take a look at your contract before you begin to cry foul. Also if you're positive there are bigger dogs living in the apartments, let your landlord know about the other people breaking the rules, and ask why they can go scott free. If it's something where the weight limit wasn't announced anywhere, and they didn't ask to see your pet beforehand, you might have a case but all it would do would compensate you for your time and money spent on the place where you can't live. I've actually seen this happen a lot with slum lords, they will suddenly put up a pet ban, or somehow single out a tenant's animal because they don't like the tenant, and they can evict them and keep the month's rent, 6 months rent, 1 year rent, however much they have to pay upfront AND rent it out to somebody else. But I am assuming that your landlord is not that much of a slumlord.

If it's a breed thing, you can bring the dog to a vet and get them to say it's a boxer/english spaniel mix. The vets really don't give a fuck. I think for the breed to official, you have to get it a rabies vaccine and a license under that breed mix. If that isn't going to fix it, you can go hard core and pretend you're crazy. Go to a therapist, tell them you're a mess without your dog, you'll need the therapist to give you a referral to a psychiatrist who will give you a 'prescription' for a dog. That makes your dog an Emotional Support Animal. All ESAs give you is a clause in the Fair Housing Act. In the FHA, it states that landlords have to attempt to accommodate the ESA animal, IF AND ONLY IF your ESA animal isn't a nuisance.

I've been in a similar boat so I understand what you're going through, It sucks because even though what slumlords do isn't legal, even if you had the money for a lawyer it wouldn't be worth it because you'd still need a place to live

Maybe beebro stung somebody in a valiant attempt to defend his hive. You are kind to give him comfort in his last hours, anon.

omg op TAKE IT TO A VET. jesus christ how many times do i have to tell you guys...

>>2435709
The wings look pretty bent and broken to me, OP. Even if it managed to crawl its way back to the hive, it would be pretty useless as a worker.
It's actually quite tragic.

A. Your cat looks just like every other generic shorthair tabby

B. Your cat is just a street cat. It's not a special snowflake rare anomaly.

I'll face fuck your mom.

>Looks kind of wild
>Think 'It just looks like a cat..'
>Realize I have no clue what a wild cat looks like

I mean I've seen plenty of homeless and stray cats but those are all still domesticated cats, right? Dogs are to wolves as cats are to... what? Servals and ocelots?

>Is a pupper a bad /biz/ decision just moved into a house with a fence and kind of want a pupper but don't even know how to go about training them, what are costs on having one?

I personally got myself a cute bun. Puppers are for plebs.

I love my pupper
They're a great emotional investment, keep in mind OP they can be a lot of work and will be with you for 10-15 years

Basically they see the crate as a den and they feel safe, at least that's what I get from my limited knowledge of dog psychology.

"Crates" (let's be real, its a cage) are good for short term confinement if you have a destructive or anxious dog and need to go somewhere and leave the dog at home.

The trick is to train them to associate it with being "their den", blankets over it, food, rewards and so on. If your dog sleeps in it at night with the gate open that helps too.

Please do not leave your dog in it for 8 hours though, particularly if it is hot or they get distressed.

Shrooms are most often found in cow shit. If you found those growing in some, then perhaps, but I'm not certain.

Now we need to find one that can efficiently walk long distances, burrow underground, fly in the sky, and swim underwater. A true animal ATV.

Its a common test for many jobs and is wholly precautionary

I test positive for the skin test. Got me some of that shitty slav vaccine. Once forgot in college, took the skin test, and freaked out a campus health nurse.

Buffalo farms are actually coming back in style, although we won't be seeing a lot of meat in super markets for another 5-10 years. Also switching to a mainly insect diet instead of beef, pig and cow is better economically and environmentally

>>2435243
The one thing I don't like about bison farms is that they're going to fragment habitat worse since they need at least a six foot fence. Pronghorn and deer might be able to crawl under fence but fucking elk and moose won't

>barbed wire

It amazes me how many people use it incorrectly. All the cattle fences in my area are single strand of multi-fiber plastic that has tiny thing strands of metal wire woven into them. Then it has enough electric running through them to literally knock you out cold on your ass. Deer just jump over it.
