Lack of sunlight, wrong water and rotten substrate

>>2187149
Lack of sunlight
- I exposed them to full sunlight

Wrong water
- Tap water, totally drinkable here... :(

Rotten substrate
- I should change it? Other plants seem to grow in it

Why do you own animals if you cannot afford to take them to a vet?

>>2186999

why do you have to be a fag, also the majority of chickens never get treated let alone a vet

Don't do it, once that shit expires it becomes like health food for rodents

if the little fuckers arent donig anything bad just cover all holes from walls, next to pipes etc; to stop thme from getting in.

Mice aren't dangerous, theyre just little shits that can chew on things.
Your need to kill it is basically you being a pussy and afraid of a little being that is literally just trying to survive and stumbled upon you.

Until you find large concentrations of shit and piss you shoudln't worry, but if you do make sure to do anything possible to make them gtfo, preferably without killing them.

If you can catch them there is literally 0 need to kill them, unless you can't make a trip over to a part to let them run loose.

Stop being a pussy, it's a mouse, it wont do shit to you until tens of them shit and piss possibly being a threat because of the Hantavirus.

Get a cat and let the cat do the work for you

>I would think with the advancements of technology in the next few decades that is not crazy to see cities/suburbs being walled off completely.

Thats absolutely insane and not something that would ever happen ever. Do you have any idea how obnoxious and expensive that would be? to stop what? A bear occasionally knocking over a trashcan?

There were guys in France a few years back testing small prototypes, can't find the story though. They did a TED talk.

Mosquitos kill 3 million people a year and nobody cares about gators until it's your kids that got eaten. (Florida resident here)

Yes, but thats a fancy novelty thing in an extremely rich country for the exclusive sake of climate control. Not to prevent feral animals from wandering in and murdering people.

>going anywhere near cat shit
That was your first goof

haha

All about the crows boyo

Definitely rats.

>I just don't understand the evolution here.

Evolution's only goal is to create things which stay alive long enough to reproduce. It does not matter if the life is rich, or even filled with horrors.

What is actually strange is why these take so long to mature when other cicada species come out every year.

>And the adult cycle is so short.

Isn't this for a good chunk of insects? A lot of moths, butterflies(depending on the species adults may live only two days), pretty much any cool large beetle, etc.

I have a rarer image.
This is a cat eating salad.

>>2186568
Felids are one of the few carnivores that are actually pretty much exclusively meat eaters.
Most canids, marten species and bears add fruit and nuts to their diet: felids not.
So while I detest cats it is pretty rare yea.

Better question is which of the 48 contiguous states has the best wildlife

>8000 for a dog
You're joking. I know this is what a Tibetan mastiff could go for, but christ.

>>2185705
I got my doggo for 300!!

Price has absolutely nothing to do with telling whether you got a good dog or not. Sometimes the best dogs in the world are the ones you adopt for 25 dollars from a shelter

But in no way would i ever spend that much for a dog.

>>2185705

>i have a question for vegans. According to vegan law if i can outrun a wild animal, pin it down and kill it either with my hands, a nearby rock or drown it in a lake is it ok for me to consume it?

No, vegans would have you eat it raw. Afterall why shouldn't we throw away the greatest hominid invention of ~500 thousand years old - cooking - that allowed us to rise above the animal kingdom by giving us more nutrients from food, protection from parasites and bacteria.

It's not like vegans eat their veggies cooked. Oh no heavens forbid. It's much better to be malnourished. We should get rid of domesticated plants too, as they are unnatural. It's much better to chew on nightshades that still have neurotoxins in them :^)

That's what so great about vegans. They are intelligent, not at all delusional people who spread an inherently flawed and potentially fatal ideology around, shaming others who don't conform to their ideals and morals. Vegans are awesome :^)

do NOT get one from petco/petsmart if you can help it. they're adults, they'e used to a flock, they'll be hard to train. some people breed parakeets so check craigslist/google for your area.

you can find all the generic how to train the birb from googling. random shit that doesn't come up:

- no round cages, it makes them feel trapped
- feed it seed primarily. no pellets at all they're shit. also give it scraps of veggies, they love those.
- parakeets are flock animals, they'll go nuts if you never interact with them. if you're gone all day think about getting him a companion after he's trained.
-don't ever get those textured perches for claws. fucks up their feet. also do not cook on teflon pans around them. certain foods like avocado are poisonous to them
-give him cuttlebone (for beak) and a nutrient block to scrape

>>2184136
>feed it seed primarily, no pellets at all

What? If you fed your budgie a seed diet, don't expect it to live very long. Seed does not contain the vitamins and other good stuff that a parakeet needs to be healthy. All it does is taste good, so it's the equivalent of giving your child nothing but Snickers for every meal.

>>2184136
Thank you for the info, will the parakeet learn to poop in its cage like how a cat does for a litter box or will it just shit anywhere it feels like?

>>2183966
there are a couple anons and a tripfag here who lost close family members to outdoor cats.

one was orphaned by outdoor cats and became the outdoor cat fighting hero of dutch gotham.

it's a long story. Something about an outdoor cat shanking his mother in an alley while he cried and pleaded for mercy.

>>2183966
i will fucking murder your cat if i ever see it outside motherfucker

Chesapeake Bay Retrievers are better and it's no contest.

Labs suck, they're basically retarded and can't function without their owner
