As a general rule, not much at all. But every dog is different and I've seen some little chihuahuas jogging with their human like fucking pros.

Every dog does need stimulation and exercise though. So do factor in a walk in your day.

>>2205259
Size has nothing to do with exercise needs. What breed is it?

>>2205259
That's not a dog that is a large rat

>>2205247
spotty kitty

>>2205247
Looks to be an adorable/cutie mix.

(The real answer is domestic short hair: it's a mutt).

His papers say he's a regular housecat, does that mean she has no breed?

I'll post some more pics and a video
Here's one with his mom from a couple of years ago

Turns out I can't upload the video, I tried imgur but it doesn't support the file type

Here's a goofy one of him on my lap

Sweet, spicy, and bell peppers can easily be grown in medium to large pots. Both all year round indoors and outside!

Strawberries are also super easy to grow at home in pots. Most stores like Lowes even have pots specially designed for growing strawberries.

>>2205220
w8, you can grow normal, sweet peppers indoors?
would it be possible to overwinter my plants inside?

>>2205238
Yep, although to be honest, if they are not near a window that gets direct sunlight at least part of the day then you will have to supplement with artificial lighting.

But this is easy, all you need is a daylight grade CLF bulb and a metal hallide lamp. Both are super cheap.

The breed became obsolete, and squat, ugly nasty people took hold of it post-war, taking the breed in a direction to appear like themselves.

Those still exist. They're called Hinks Bull Terriers. They're rare but people still breed them.

I don't understand the exact decision on why they changed the muzzle. There's no practical reason for it and, despite what they say, it isn't historical either. They probably just wanted a unique looking breed since the original is similar to a Staffie.

"breeders" happened.

Breeders are the worst enemy of dogs.

I don't know if it would work for what you want, but they actually make kitten cages that are pretty fucking big. I imagine original idea was to display kittens at a pet store, but you can get them kinda cheap because no one sells kittens at a store.

Fabrics like that you'd be able to find in an Art's and crafts store. You might also want to put cardboard along the sides if you're worried about mess or privacy.

>>2205196
I would imagine the bar spacing in these types of cages would be too big for young and female rats, or am I wrong? I'm pretty set on the cage above though.

The only craft store near me is Hobby Craft, I can pop over after work - hopefully I can make it before they shut. Thanks for the suggestion!

Okay another question - how do I get my dog to think of the rats as friends, not food?

Also, are there any dangers (to the dog) with having rats in the room she sleeps in? Ie can they make her sick?

Pic somewhat related I guess, my dog looks like that but with floppy ears.

>>2205140
You'll be dead before we get there, waste of fuel.

I assume that's a really easy answer for someone in the U.S.

So I'll bump with some of my rare tarantulas

Grammostela Albina

>>2205096
I'm actually in the US and i can;t find one, that why I'm asking. I can;t believe how hard they are to get for me. It seems like your only hope is if there is a breeder in town who is selling them which of course in my podunk shithole there isn't.

>>2205096
I was going to talk shit but then you post made me realize not everyone has muh freedoms.

Op should still be able to use a search engine...

BTW I hate spiders.
Caught a tarantula- it got out, found it in the hallway one night going to take a leak.
Probably hit the ceiling and almost had a heart attack.

OK I JUST READ MACADAMIAS ARE BAD

but apparently almonds are fine

is it ok if he eats some of my spit

hy I hate everyone in this room and I am never coming back
by Acid
Tort: Piece of shit who thinks he is better than everyone else. Constantly calls people weird,creepy and autistic. Has no humility. Barely talks and has no genuine interest in meeting new people or friends except for the few he made years ago.
Permit: Basically the same as tort except he pretends he is your friend then laughs about how stupid you are to your face. Basically a gigantic normie who just comes to the room to laugh at misfortune people(and not even like mentally retarded people like just people who arnt normies)
Alex2: Just an overall narcisst that gets to caught up with trying to act cool and forgets that he is on the internet.
Gay: Lesbian who jokingly lies on the internet but when you ask her why she lies she pretends like your retarded and cant remember things from 20 minutes ago
Kro: Overall faggot who is just a normie basically the same as permit.
Boyaka: Basically the same as permit and Kro and other normies but openly and commonly shows the only reason he comes to the room is to hit on girls and laugh at all the losers.
Bread: I cant say enough about this faggot. I really he hopes he dies. I never liked him. He is old. Normie to a point. Likes to flaunt his normieness and pretends he is something he isnt. Indulges way too much in random chat humor.

No one. Fox rabies infects the dog. Dog kills the fox

>>2205037
dog is vacced (collar)

dog wins

>>2205039
rabies is not treated

I wonder how many of these are sitting in shelters now that the doge meme has run its course

>>2204917
Send one my way I think they're adorable.

>>2204931
And just give it to a different shelter to save you about 6 months of hell.

These guys had half their population wiped out by disease either this year or last, very recent tragedy.

Jabiru stork

>>2204788
They're supposed to be native to Alaska (they were here at the end of the Pleistocene), but I can't get anyone in America interested in a project to import a breeding population.

>>2204861
Good. Baboons are literally demons.

>>2204727
Throw the mat away or put it outside

>>2204727
>we trained him to pee on some mats we bought
this is where you fucked up. mats fuck up training; I don't know why they exist. now you're going to have to gradually move the mat outside.

>>2204727
>I can safely walk him without a leash now,

Please, no. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. If you love them, keep them on a leash. My dogs can recall perfectly fine, but you never know if something more interesting than my voice is going to show up. Maybe on the other side of the street when a car is coming, or maybe 3 miles away they hear a dog howling. You never know.

Have you thought about getting a chameleon?

All of that screen is going to be an issue both for heat and humidity retention. If you replace the screen with glass or clear acrylic you could do a small snake like a kenyan sand boa, rosy boa, or male children's python.

Bearded dragon or tegu or euromastyx
.>>2204637
Sand boas are cool but a happy sand boa is an invisible sand boa.
Rosy boas are the best reptile ever.
