Good.

Sharp-shinned Hawk. They have tiny heads in comparison with Cooper's.

That bird is a few months old. They keep their brown first set of feathers until about April before starting to molt into their gray adult feathers.

Rough-legged is way, way bigger. About Red-tail size.

>>2336561
Alright, cool, thanks. How can you tell his head is tiny? I guess it's hard to tell without them side by side. I've never seen a sharp-shinned up close, someone had told me they're about the size of Steller's Jays and can fit inside a soup can. I've seen Cooper's and I know they're decently large, but at this distance it's tough to judge size. How do they compare to kestrels?

I go to the spot this one was at pretty often so I hope I can see him again. I have seen a quick raptor type thing darting through some oaks I thought might be him but it was too fast to see well.

>>2336574
Sharp-shinned Hawk heads are only about half the width of their shoulders. Cooper's Hawk heads are proportionally bigger and have a more blocky shape.

The size you were told on Sharp-shins is correct. Some small males aren't much bigger than a robin. They're about the same size as most kestrels.

In terms of length and wingspan Cooper's Hawks are 33 to 50% bigger than Sharp-shins and they weigh 3 times as much.

I always wonder when useless people will learn that they do more harm than good with their softness.

>It takes giving an animal a torturous death while trying to "save" it for soft animal-lovers to learn.

Why am I not surprised?

1. You risked zoonosis by fucking with feral rats. Hope you don't get mites.
2. NATTURRRR doesn't mean that rat wasn't fucked the moment you set hands on it. That is to say, kill the fucking rat instead of pretending dropping a scared animal in the middle of foreign territory is anything good for it or will lead to anything besides death by local predator
3. nut up.

JUST DROWN IT YOU DUMB FUCKHEAD

Bats are friendly. They're just very, very disease ridden. be careful.

Also if you're a regular caver, they can catch diseases from YOU. look up white nose syndrome

>when you're a lazy asshole and your dog needs to pee so bad that it grows wings

>>2336406
I can only think of one thing. Is it a new tank? If so it may have not had enough time to establish a good bio film for them to graze on. Lots of plants help as well. Beside that I'm not too much of a help beside that the shrimp you're getting are severely inbred or bred in much different conditions.

>>2336442
Well considering I don't have a lot of fish, and they don't eat very much, yea I'm willing to spend a bit. I'm going to look into bloodworms and similar stuff, but I was hoping for other high quality dry/bottled stuff that I could keep in the drawer and not have to worry about if my roommate is going to take it out of the freezer while he's high and rummaging around for food, then forget about it...

>>2336483
Should I get bloody mary shrimp or blue diamond shrimp?

Budget not an issue.

No idea, you need a vet who is an expert on rats.
Sounds realy bad.

>>2336389
i'm going to take him to the vet tomorrow and have him put down if there's no treatment or optimism

Sounds like you are doing the best you can. Maybe there are some recipies for sick and weakened rats on rathealthguide.

Dehydration can make him very weak. Do you see any signs of wasting on him?

yes unless you want diarrhea all over the walls

>>2336331
Disgusting catfag

>>2336334
I've never had a cat get diarrhea from milk

>>2336252
That's like saying "are animals right-handed."

>>2336252
They do. They main not understand it like we do, but they are aware of death and recognize it.

>>2336252
most humans don't understand death

animals would understand it better since they were never consciously alive in the first place, but things that aren't consciously alive don't understand things.

>>2336110
Yes

>>2336110
Boil hard surface.
Let hard surface cool.
Glue hard surface to remainder of shell.
Snail keeps on snailing.

>>2336110
Use an egg shell to cover it and keep it in a humid environment. As long as it doesn't dry out, it can heal. And clean it too using clean or sterile (better), water but don't use any chemicals. Chemicals contacting the broken area can kill it.

Just drop it, do you seriously feel the need to keep arguing in the new thread?

Post pictures of your fucking fish or take it to /b/ or /qa/ or something.

>>2335834
Find a no-kill shelter.

>>2335838
I've already got that under control. My concern is the little shits aren't nursing because it seems MoMo isn't producing milk.

>>2335834
call a vet, or the humane society, or anyone that works with cats professionally; get real advice from somebody who knows what the fuck they're talking about instead of asking here.

>>2335601

You didn't even have a picture of your own cat? Wow, guess you never really loved her.

>>2335672
Not OP, but I don't have pictures of my mother, father, brother. I love them dearly. That's why I spend time with them as opposed to obsessing with my phone's camera.
It's fine to be a hobbyist photographer, but most people just take pictures without any thought. What's the point?

>>2335601
I live in a flat with a big courtyard under It, lot of space. Two years ago some cats started appearing around and my neighbour started taking them in his house, that internally has another courtyard. So last year some guys started killing cats (even the most lovable ones and little puppies) and It goes on by now. We are going to put on some cameras to stop this thing.
>cat lover
Imagine my pain. Hopefully now the cats won't die anymore.

I think if it's in a field it would need sage.

Predator animals are said to taste horrible so I'm guessing no.

Carnivores generally don't taste good.

>>2335034
Dinos would lose their habitats to deforestation then start trying to scavenge food around suburbs before getting shot

>>2335034
it depends the Triassic was a long ass time, the entire Cenozoic era is only around 10 million years longer then the Triassic as it is defined today

>>2335034
They'd certainly out compete whatever proto-mammals were running around and destroy the mammalian timeline.

he's gasping for breath, you should go to the vet as soon as possible

>>2334276
Thank you!
Also read somewhere you can use thyme tea or something like that, do you know anything about that?

Change his litter/bedding to newspaper or cloth for a few days. Certain wood shavings give off a lot of dust that causes respitory issues.

Also try putting a humidifer in your room, or putting the cage inthe bathroom with you while you shower so he can get a bit of steam to help his lungs out a bit. Make sure his cage has good airflow going on as well, and check what foods are safe for himto eat-he could be having some kind of allergic reaction.

Start googling his symptoms.
