>>2280136

I got a beardie, but to expand off of that

i have a beardie dragon that is a juvenile right now, and i have him in a 40 gallon breeder, and he is okay with that for now it seems.

but i want to get him into a 80-100 gallon tank size within a few months, and i was wondering what are some good options that you would recommend

I was thinking about building one, but i have no idea where to start, but i have heard its a good route to take. there isnt too much reliable information ive found online, especially on where to get the tools materials needed to build one.

is there an avian vet around here? yesterday I found a dove nestling that almost got hit by a car but it won't move at all in the box I put it in.
I gave him liquid dog food in a syringe yesterday and It seemed fine but now he doesn't want to eat, he chirps extremely silently and I don't have the money to buy him a visit to a vet or to buy formula (which is something people just don't sell where I live also).
don't know If I should just force food into his mouth and how much. I know nestlings are supposed to eat every 3-4 hours or so but I reaaaally need to know how much they have to eat and can't find that info anywhere. I suppose formula is different since I'm giving him my dog's food (which is recommended in some other online sites) but I don't know.
he seems to only move his wings once in a while and I have him in a warm shoe box.
he won't ask for food and has his head to one side, it could have a concussion I can't really know what is wrong and please help me an

Please take the bird to a local wildlife rehabilitation centre. They will be able to help him.

You should go to www.starlingtalk.com and ask them. A lot of them know way more about taking care of baby birds than most people here will.

Hi /an/, pls halp. I have a stray kitten (female) I adopted a couple months ago, she's about 4 or 5 months old. Today she was neutered. Vet told me to keep her resting and don't let her bite the stitches.
As soon as she got home and the anesthesia started to wear off, she went nuts - wanted to run around (but tripped herself), jump and all that. Vet told me that, if she started acting like that, I had to tie her down so she didn't harm herself, so I did - and she went crazy and almost choked herself with the collar. Those Elizabethan Collars are no good because she doesn't really touch the stitches, she's just hyperactive and I'm scared she'll hurt herself and open them if she starts jumping around. None of the surgery clothes I bought fit her (and I bought the smallest ones I could find), she got out of all of them. Every time I try to tie her up she just goes mad.
What do I do? Vet just says to find a way to keep her with the surgery clothes and don't let her harm herself, but doesn't tell me how the fuck to do that. Should I just untie her and ler her do her business, or she'll most definitely harm herself jumping on furniture?
Help.

TL;dr; female cat just got neutered and won't calm down, scared she'll end up harming herself and opening up her stitches. What to do?

Pic is her just before going to the surgery.

And this is her curative patch, which bled out a little when she got home, thus why I'm so worried about her wanting to do cat things right now and not staying put with the surgery clothes.

>>2279595
Holy fuck don't tie up your animal. Where the fuck do you live, Japan?

>>2279618 has it right, put your kitty in a cage (dog crate) and keep the E-collar on. A medium size crate will work so you can fit a litterbox/food/water in it as well.

It's only recently that I realized 'wew, this thing was literally it. Think of any other predator, living or dead, on land or in the sea, and it was smaller than this thing.'

Megalodon was one hell of a thing and we only missed it by a few thousand years.

How do spiders/snakes eat animals injected with their own venom without dying to the venom?
19 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
>>2278932
they obviously have a resistance to their own venom. they are the ones producing it
>>
>>2278932
Because venom, by definition, has to be injected into the bloodstream.That's why someone could drink a shot of snake venom that would kill them if they mainlined it.

Poison and venom are two distinct things. Hope I helped!

Anyone here live in an area with coyotes?
Are they dangerous?
I just moved to the middle of nowhere rural Georgia after living in Atlanta my whole life. It's currently 4 AM and it sounds like there are hundreds of them running though my yard. Me and my girlfriend are fucking horrified.

>>2278606
it would take a fucking big pack of coyotes to be brash enough to take on two fully grown human beings

there's coywolves all around where I live, and they're not dangerous unless you're a child or small dog, they are scared of my german shep
>>
>>2278612
Dude there are so many of them outside. I'm surrounded by cow pasture on each side of my house and they just fucking swarm my yard at night. It's the first time in my life I've been explicitly aware of how much of a pansy I am for growing up in the city.

What other kinds of wildlife can I expect from extreme rural southern GA..?
>>
>>2278606

No, coyotes are not dangerous to humans.

They eat small animals like cats and smaller dogs. But they have no interest in humans, except for digging through your trash for scraps.

They do make some pretty unearthly sounds, though.

Do you let your doggo sleep in your bed anon?
29 posts and 5 images submitted.
>>
No, he always decides that my bed is the #1 spot to lick his balls.
>>
of course i do
>>
We tried but he gets territorial once he lays down on anything so if you move near him he will growl. You can mess with him and he still won't bite but it's still unacceptable behavior so he has his own bed next to ours

Almost two months ago I started a job at an animal shelter, so let's get a bad owners/rage thread going. My stories are all pretty short and probably not very good, but this can be an infuriating job.

>anyone comes in to get a dog
>"which ones are already housetrained, don't shed, know all their commands, and are healthy?"

>guy comes in and adopts an already declawed cat
>brings it back less than 24 hours later because "It attacked me!"
>he held it and let a dog approach him and didn't let it go when it started growling so when it jumped out of his arms it scratched him with its back claws
>it attacked me

>anyone comes in to get a dog
>"if it chews my furniture we can bring it back right?"

>writes "planning on declawing" and "outdoor" on cat application
>(we are against both, but to even think to do both at once is retarded)

what's the protocol for returning adopted pets

i'm asking because i want to get a friend for my rabbit but i've heard horror stories

i'm willing to give it a few months but i don't want to have a pair or warring rabbits i have to keep separated for the next decade

>senior woman comes in to see dogs
>were a small rescue so usually have around 6-8 dogs
>she's looking for a small lap dog
>introduce her to a very sweet toy poodle x, 4 years old, healthy, trained, cuddly
>no she's too old
We had nothing else to show her at that point and I'm glad for it. I understand wanting a younger dog, that's reasonable, but 4 years is NOT old at all for a toy breed. And this woman had to be in her late 60s/early 70s. What's going to happen to that dog when she dies before it does? Just annoying.

I also dislike people who complain about the adoption process...yes there's a home visit, and no you can't apply for a dog before it's officially available.

What dogs are best for hunting, but also good with small children, preferable on the larger side? My favorite breed is the Irish Wolfhound but the health problems and short lifespan are a big concern, especially considering the price.

Most of my experience is around boar hunting but ive owned a few bird dogs too.
Catahoulas are my preferred hunting dog. They push a hundred pounds.
Bull Arab dogs are pretty good with kids too.
Apbt's make good boar dogs and are excellent dogs around children. But it sounds like you want a bigger dog than that.
Danes are badass when trained right. Fairly gentle creatures towards humans. They tend to forget their size though.
In all reality any really big dog is not going to be the greatest around small children. They can be the most gentle dog in the world, but their size alone will know little kids down.
