Just bought a pet mouse /an/, anything important I should know about these little guys?
>>2417531
for starters, you're already doing everything wrong
>>2417533
Good to know
>>2417531
I don't see anything wrong. Check the fancy mouse and rat association page. They have pretty valuable information available.
A week ago, he jumped out of his tank and crawled across my carpet giving himself scratches on his belly and feet. He got fungus on his feet so I gave him a salt bath treatment. Once the fungus was gone and he was acting healthy again, I put him back in his tank. That was a couple days ago. He has been acting normal and showing no signs of stress. I checked him today, and I noticed this huge hole in his belly. I don't know if something is eating away at him or what, but I have no idea what to do.
try calcium, the cuttlebone shaved up, some good food and TLC
Are they my friend?

Click beetle. Can flip itself into the air to get back to its feet if it fell on its back.
Turn it on its back to see that, it's pretty entertaining.
Thanks! :) I'll leave them alone so they can get some rest.
Hey Faggots,
My name is Egret, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are tiny, retarded, no-lifes who spend every second of their day eating stupid ass worms. You everything bad in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten any bird pussy? I mean, I guess it's fun making fun of birds because of your own insecurities, but you all take it to a whole new level. This is even worse than when parrots jerk off.
Don't be a stranger. Hit me with your best shot. I'm pretty much perfect. I was captain of the nest, and starter on my fish catching team. What food do you get, other than "shitty little earthworms that any faggot chicken could get?" I also get huge pieces of shrimp, and have a banging hot egret girlfriend (she just mated with me, shit was SO cash). You are all faggots who should just fly into a window. Thanks for listening.
Great thread friend
This is now a /span/ thread!
Frog help! African dwarf frogs like all frogs lay eggs, so why is mine bloated so much, regardless of mating it appears like dropsy? Maybe not and its something to do with mating?
It is usually the same size of the frog banging it in pic related.. whats the cause of it becoming 3x bigger in 30 minutes of me eating dinner in other room?
I looked the other way and it is back to normal size... hmmm
Maybe its mate was suffocating it temporarily.. it had the same exact issue last night when a frog had it mounted... wtf.

Why would a female blackbird start brooding and feeding the chicks of a robin? And how are the robin parents able to tolerate this?
Those robin chicks sure got pampered though.
<Nature sure is beautiful, isn't it?

found this lil' fella today, i know its some sort of ladybird but i've never seen such a beautiful design
>>2417185
>i know its some sort of ladybird
Do you, now?
I'm thinking it's something along those lines:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysolina
Can't pinpoint it closer than genus, and even that isn't 100%. But it's not a ladybird.
>>2417199
are you sure though? it has the exact same features and body of the common ladybird but it has a unique colour
My bunny has turned 12 today :)
I hope my friend still has a few good years in front of him.
Pic related, it's him.
>>2417078
My friend's bun lived up to 16 and was relatively healthy almost to the end. If your is OK, there's fair chance he will live just as long or even longer.
>>2417078
>>2417106
my bun will be 7 this year, hearing about 12 and 16 year old buns makes me feel good, but I heard that non spayed buns don't live that long :(
>>2417117
Ferda is not spayed ^^
So here's the deal: my friend is a fucking retard who is incapable of caring for animals but he does so anyway and I need help fixing his shitty mistakes.
He had a stray (adult female) he had taken in and was offered a kitten. I told him the cat would hate it and that he didn't have the time to care for a kitten but he took it anyway. As an aside that stray cat is now stressed as fuck and constantly hiding to avoid getting attacked herself.
The kitten (male) was taken from its mother at around six-seven weeks. It was taken off nursing abruptly instead of weaning.
Because he couldn't be assed to kitten-proof his home he kept it in a closet for the first few months of its life. I also found out that he somehow thought a kitten should eat LESS than a normal cat so he was only feeding it twice a day. It was likely consuming its own feces.
Now the kitten is fed better and given full roam of the apartment, but it's completely un-socialized and aggressive. It will greet you normally then proceed to maul whatever appendage he was just marking (not play-bites, I've had to be very careful to continuously clean out my hands to avoid infection thanks to this little guy). It also likes to maul feet and the backs of heads.
I've told him to disengage with the cat entirely when it bites and to resort to a squirt bottle if it's absolutely necessary, but there's been zero behavioral change. I assume his training is inconsistent/nonexistent, but is there perhaps something more reliable?
tl;dr friend is a shitty owner with a shitty aggressive cat how fix
Kill your friend, he's the root of all problems
>>2417109
agreed but homicide isn't an option
literally just play with it
listen to jackson galaxy. play with your damn cat. take it to the vet if playing doesn't help.
Tell me everything that you know about pic related.

Here's an excerpt from a documentary that should answer a few of your questions:
https://youtu.be/G6scHgACSD0
Hey /an/, here's the situation, i got a new dog, thing is, it was origially my sister's but she couldn't keep it where she lives because of one of her neighbors (i'm not going to go into too much details but I can say that the dog's life was positively in danger), so she gave it to me. Problem is he's scared of me and my dog (there's also the fact tha my dog tried to rape him), and i'd like some advice on how to get him to trust me and my dog and how to get the later to stop trying to rape the new dog.
>>2417020
Some more information, Grufy, who's the new dog, doesn't seem to be agressive towards me nor my dog, when either gets close to him, he prefers to run away. So far. with a lot of work, he has allowed me to touch him, tough he flinches everytime.
Give him time and try hand feeding him. Don't let the dogs freely interact at first, make it through a door, while one dog is in a crate, or on leashes. And as far as the rape thing goes, quickest advice is to neuter him, but if he's already neutered then humping is a domination thing since this new dog is in his territory. Make both dogs feel more comfortable with sharing the territory via the actions listed above about slower introduction or others found by googling
>>2417029
Yeah, i'm already doing the door thing, though I feel reluctant about neutering my dog, but thanks anyways.
If mosquitoes and other insects are so positively photo tactic, why don't they all just fly towards the sun????

retard
>>2417014
guess the ones that did died out like retards and didnt reproduce?
can't fly higher than your wings and lungs and wind resistance/body weight allow you
read about flying bug eating birds like swallows for exact heights
I got bit by it last night
It's a beetle and it didn't bite you because it literally can't you stupid fuck
I refuse to believe anyone could be that fucking retarded. How did you get past the CAPTCHA you brain-dead fuck?
