Why would anyone want a bird? All they do is stand there and scream 24/7

>>2464995
Budgies from PetSmart don't tend to be social and are very, very hard to train if they can be trained at all.

Get one at your own risk.

>>2464995
I have a hard time believing that there's no private owners/shelters near you who are looking to get rid of the most common pet birds.

>>2464953
clean your house you disgusting trailer trash

>>2464955
i was about to do the dishes but my retard dog got in the way

>>2464953
Why is it a problem? Just wipe it down before you use it

A young cross spider?
I dont see anything

>>2465141
Woah nevermind me. I thought you meant that dot on green bar.

>>2464833
Looks like a pretty young birgus latro. Cant really tell from pic tho.

>>2464687
maybe anemones retracted into their bodies while tide is out.

>>2464790
It's this precisely.

>>2464680
Take it to the vet.

Yeah, she's never been. Thing is she's not technically my dog. The actual owners will pretty much never take her to the vet anytime this century, but I'm very broke and can't afford to take her myself. I don't even have a car to drive there. She's got sharp claws as well and scratches the fuck out of me drawing blood.

Kill the actual owner, and then yourself. Dogs are god-tier pets and you neither deserve nor can handle one.

>>2464590
Either you're lying about taking him to the vet or you took him to some shitty hillbilly vet that has no fucking idea what he's doing because nobody just goes "no clue lmao anyway you can leave now". Take him to a proper vet and stop asking on the Internet.

>>2464599
this. you got ripped off dude.

probably a tooth abcess though

>>2464600
If it's the tooth they said they needed to apply 3 vaccines to reduce the the swollen part and then make some tests to see if he needs surgery,

That seems like an experiment that could take centuries to bear fruit, and even if it did the insects would suffocate as soon as they are exposed to current atmospheric conditions

It's not like all you need to do to make a bug grow is just add oxygen

Isn't it just from evolution?
I can't imagine a huge spider would just die straight up in low oxygen but would be less fit to survive and reproduce.

100% oxygen would kill them. You'd have to reach some kind of upper limit on the oxygen to nitrogen ratio for it to work. Even then there's a limit on the size just based on their exoskeleton. It can only be so thick and heavy before it crushes them in our gravity.

here's the bathroom spider from earlier

>>2464487
You should take a picture from further away, with a worse camera.

It's probably just a giant house spider.

Maybe a brown recluse. Check google

>>2464474
Why the fuck would you want to make your low maintenance cat a pain in the ass to care for?

>>2464488
i want to observe him playing and to have fun with him

>>2464491
Selfish fuck

I bet you eat animals every day

>>2464237
>debree

Well I bet those bugs have good senses of smell- just look at that huge nose -and it probably likes sugar because who doesn't? But a lot of bugs I would guess do not smell so well and rely more on their eyes or even their antennae for sounds and stick closer to their little habitats.

There's a lot of different kinds so it depends what you want to look for. I know you can grow certain plants to attract some things to your gardens.

I'm interested but I don't know a lot about this.

>>2464449
>huge nose
Literally the bug equivalent of a giant floppy dong to attract females, and fend off smaller males.
The antenna are what insects use to chemorecept.

>>2464168
buy two pairs of male and female. that way they will breed quicker and more. you will be able to sell the furs and make bank

Even after cleaning the cage everyday the smell is absolutely horrible. Not cuddle animals either

thanks for reminding me of Minerva Mink

>stray
it's not like it was going to live a fulfilling life. just end it or make someone adopt the little shit

i kill the cats in my neighborhood on purpose

>>2464027
>stray neighborhood kitten
If they are so populated that you can't even take a piss without stepping on one, then you have problem.
Assuming this isn't another bait thread of course.

They are rabbit kits and you should put them back. Mother rabbits only stay at the burrow for a few minutes at a time.

Here's another pic. They have small hairless tails so it seems like rabbits, squirrels and rats are out of the running. My guess was some sort of Vole

Oh damn, wouldn't the mother reject them at this point? I'll put em back soon if they're rabbits, hope they make it

>>2463662
your parents probably feed it.

you provide the care, as in taking it to the vet? he probably associates you with the vet and doesn't like the vet

>>2463662
>it either slinks away from me cowardly with it's tail tucked or it growls at me UNLESS my parents are gone in which case it will run to me for protection.
This makes no sense. Dogs don't hate anyone for no reason, they've literally been bred to form reasonably close bonds almost immediately. You and/or your parents probably ascribe to dominance theory and took it to extremes and have traumatized her

>>2463678
I have trained the dog and taken care of it numerous times, that is all, my parents do feed it but he also bit through my dads hand recently

>>2463680
This dog does
