Discuss anything aquarium related here, including inhabitants, decor and issues.

Google is your friend.
Feel free to ask questions but know that there are a lot of resources out there that could answer your question a lot faster and accurately than /an/.

Make sure to include these things in your post before asking because we can't help you if we don't have the full picture:
-tank size (include dimensions, not just volume)
-parameters (ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, pH, GH, KH)
-any and all inhabitants + how long you've had them

Picking up a G. Pulchra at the end of the month at a show. I know the basic insects from care sheets. However what larger prey items can I feed it? Mice? Anoles? I love feeding my Mantis Shrimp large crabs and fish hoping the spider is an equal monster with prey.

How about not feeding it vertebrates?
Would that work for you or do you need to jerk your dick to sadism and make youtube videosof live feeding with shitty metal songs in them.

Nah, I'll feed it vertebrates. I get predators to watch them be predators. Lol I see my insect typo all too late now.

doge before hoes. joking. if you think you can handle the responsibility yourself i say keep it, otherwise have any family interested in adoption?
>>
>>2321609
I never wanted the responsibility of a dog either, which is why I disagreed with her initial decision. We both live a relatively sedentary lifestyle and this dog needs a load of exercise.

I haven't started asking around for adoption yet, not really sure where to go. 10 months old, cute as a button, but god damn is she a handful.

My biggest concern is finding a family for her that'll give her care she deserves, I don't want her jumping from house to house until ending up in the shelter.

Tell her to suck it up and stop being a child about the fact that the dog she didnt actually want to take care of likes you more

they're cute when they silently appear next to you asing you to pet them.
also playing with them is fun, cause you can annoy them easily and it's cute to see them try to harm you
>>
Well if it's laying in its litter box it's super stressed out. As for the smell, clean the litter box more and use stuff like baking soda in the litter to help with the smell. Most cats themselves don't stink unless there is something wrong with them like being sick or laying in their litter box due to stress
>>
>>2321923
A better question is why do cat owners always beat the hell out of their cats when they're stressed out?
Every cat owner I've ever met has admitted to beating their cat in some capacity

I have a question regarding chinchillas, /pp/. I have 3 young chins for 3 months now and I don't know if I spoil them too much. I have read that raisins are a good trait for chins but they can only have 3 raisins a week. I usually give them one raisin each in the morning before they go to sleep and one when they need to get back in the cage (I can only bribe them with traits to get their fat furry asses back in the cage). How unhealthy is this for them? So far they don't seem sick or depressed.
>>
>>2322023
Find another treat they like. They're gonna get fat and have teeth and intestinal problems.

They aren't hallucinogenic if that's what you were asking. Hallucinogenic dung-lovers are rarely found north, or south of the equator.

So I have a husky and hes a very good doggo and hes about 2 years old. The only problem is that he likes to run away alot and when he runs it takes hours to get him back. We walk him daily but he still likes to run. Its also not like he dosent like us because we treat him well.

I think it's possible that the daily walk simply may not expend enough energy for your dog. Maybe add a mile to the walks or do the same amount of time but trade off 5-min jogging and 10-min walking?

im a little fucked up right now. so my mother in law got this stupid net thing you put around bird cages to prevent seeds/feathers from going everywhere (she minds the mess they make more than anyone who lives here does) and one of my birds got a nail stuck in it when climbing on the bars. i didnt realize this until i heard a loud peep which i instantly knew meant something was wrong so i rushed to him and saw him all caught up. it was so stuck in there it actually required a fair amount of effort to get it out. for about a good half hour he wouldnt stand on it after, but now he is but i think he is just doing the usual bird faking its ok thing they do. his feet are usually all pink but its bruised looking around his ankle and im worried his leg is actually broken or hes going to have some internal bleeding or something. realistically how worried should i be? he is sitting on his perch and not on the bottom of the cage or anything, but i know how fragile birds are and how good they are at hiding wounds. old pic related, the one who got caught up is the yellow one.

I'm contemplating buying a Kangal\Anatolian Shepherd. I own my own house, in the UK around medium to small size with a medium to small size garden to couple with.

I've got the money to buy a 4 month pup along with the obvious necessities. I've owned a rottweiler in the past, but the poor fella died of old age a year or two back.

Thoughts? Any anons here have an idea of what living with a Kangal\Anatolian is like?

So long as you provide it with a lot of exercise you should be good.
Train it well. Then post pics when you get it.

Can you even own one in the UK? I thought they were very strict about dangerous breeds.

Unless you live on a farm I can't imagine getting an honest to goodness sheep protecting wolf fighting livestock guardian dog is a good idea.

More often than not it's because of what you are feeding your animals.
A shit tier dry kibble will lack proper nutrition whether it's straight from the bag, or digested and straight from the asshole.To the dog it makes no difference.

Have you tried the treats that make their shit taste bad?
