Has anybody used pic related? Im sick of getting tangled up in our biothane long line. Will it hold up to the occasional dead stop?
>>2181166
Works with my small breeds.
It's probably fine, but because there's a relatively thin cord rolled up, you should be wary about wear, because that could cause it to snap more easily
No. They are retarded. They give you zero control over your dog. And if you ever try to grab the cable in a panic, you can fuck the shit out of your hand.
They are trash don't use them
>itt: post fun facts about animals and nature
I'll start of with this
>fun fact:
The golden-shouldered parrot is a critically endangered species(2,500) native to the cape York peninsula of Australia where they live in open fire supported woodlands and can only best in 30 yet a old termite mounds
Depending on the reaction to this thread I might post some more fun facts
>>2181094
A pack of Weiner dogs can skeletonize a cow carcass in under six minutes
>>2181094
the gibbon, more commonly known as The Horrid Little Man, is known to not do much other than caper about, being a horrid little man
Anacondas and other large pythons are seriously fucking cool. They don't unhinge their jaws like some small snakes, their jaws open at TWO SETS OF JOINTS. They also have two rows of teeth in the roof of their mouth that can "walk" along a carcass so that the snake can swallow it.
I'm growing a cutting of pothos/devil's ivy in a jar of water. The plant is doing fine but these strange white growths appeared on the roots.
Is it fungus, or just new roots sprouting?
Close up of roots
>>2181039
>>2181040
2 things:
1: Was it in soil before you put it in water? Because that looks like vermiculite particles or something like that
2: Epipremnum aureum produces aerial roots that look like corky knobs when they first start out. This looks like those roots (although a bit weirdly), just underwater.
I am doing the same thing with pothos, but unlike yours I cannot notice any new root in the twigs, they have been in the jar for more than 3 weeks now, some twig died but some other are still green.
Ok, so, on July 18th I got two mice, funky, and fresh. Funky was the sweetest thing ever. Fresh was shy, but not too bad.
I held fresh wrong when putting her into the cage, and ever since then, she has been a little bitch. She won't let me pick her up, have my hand in the cage, or, hell, even watch her.
This was fine. As long as I had funky, I was fine, right? Right!
However, Fresh's shyness started to rub off on Funky. Extremely. I've always treated funky with the utmost respect, and constantly gave her treats. But as she hung out with Fresh more, she stopped trusting me.
Today, I finally got mad. I did something I shouldn't have done- I grab Fresh, look her in the face, and rant. I probably scared the poor girl, but at this point, FUCK her.
I don't want her to rub off on Funky, my sweetie pie any longer. I honestly want the bitch (Fresh) to get wet tail and die. She always squeaks and screams whenever I get near the cage, and scares Funky away. Whenever I try to interact with Funky, Fresh bites Funky to ruin our taming section.
Should I return Fresh to the pet store while I still cn? I honestly don't think I should leave her with Funky, I don't want Fresh to rub off on Funky.
(God, I should've got a Syrian hamster instead. To ANYONE wanting a mouse, DO NOT GET ONE. I thought it would be nice, I was wrong. Get something slower, and more confident. Anything but a mouse!)
(Pic unrelated, except it kinda looks like Fresh, the bitch.)
>>2181028
mice suck.
you shouldn't be keeping them if you're going to treat them that way.
anyways though definitely sounds like you should return the mouse you don't like. rats are the best rodents, tho.
>>2181036
Hey. I tried my fucking HARDEST to give them the life they deserve. Fresh is just spoiled.
I will get rats, in the future, At the time I got mice, I was on a low budget. Now I have a pretty big 40b tank.
Could rats fit in there?
>>2181042
Yes, cages are better because of airflow but you could house 2 rat's comfortably. Rat's like mice though need to be picked up for at least 30 minutes a day to get used to you. Rat's are much more intelligent and will learn your pretty cool and will snuggle and hang with you. Mice aren't that smart but if you hold and socialize them enough they should stop acting like shit heads, unless they're breeding of course.

why is everything an assassin bug with you people. shut the fuck up
anyone here have potbelly pigs?
im thinking about getting a couple.
so tell me all you know about potbelly pigs, please.
My cousin has one.
You need to make sure that you get one from a good breeder, not some yahoo on Craigslist. Otherwise you will end up with a 200+ lb monster in your house.
Pigs are clean and easy to house train. They learn to do tricks and come when called. They are dog-level smart and affectionate.
MAKE SURE YOU DONT OVERFEED THEM! that is very detrimental to their health, and they get fat easily.
The best home for a pig includes a fenced yard s/he can graze in all day (yes they eat a lot of grass, yes they can get fat from that); and a nice place to snuggle with his/her family in the house at the end of the day.
They need as much attention, affection and training as a dog, so keep that in mind.
>>2180857
so if i leave them in the fenced in yard while im at work, do you think they would be ok? then they could hang out with me in the house
when i get home.
>>2180862
People might try and steal it so I'd make sure it's secured (pigs can tear through a lot of things and they are strong) and out of sight from the road.
They also dont like to be picked up. They also do what they want, when the want. They are very smart and yeah can learn tricks but if they don't want to listen(which is often) then they won't. This is why you really, really have to make sure they don't get bored because even the smallest of pigs can be monsters. Pigs are naturally foragers too so yeah they will easily destroy doors, carpets and cabinets. You didn't specify 'micro pigs' which are 99% a scam but even pot bellies easily get 200lbs.
I've personally known two people who had pigs through the years and they phased them out. They can be good pets but they are really more 'outside' ones and seem much happier spending most of their time outdoors. In general if they are appealing to you just because it's a 'unique' pet that is commonly boasted as basically being a dog, just get a dog. Also if you want multiple ones be prepared for them to give even less of shit about you.
What animal is this?
I live in New England.
>>2180806
pixelated scootcher
I see it's brown. Would you say it's somewhat reclusive?
>>2180810
They use compression artifacts as camouflage.
>>2180810
It lives underneath my shed I think. I rarely see it. I've only seen it a few times.
what the FUCK
>>2180680
It appears to be Sting holding an Hogfish, Lachnolaimus maximus

"Cracker come!"

"he a good boy. he dindu nuffin. he was never aggressive before this."
t. every pit owner ever
Border Collies are the greatest breed of dog ever made prove me wrong. Protip: you can't.
They are awesome dogs if you have the time and dedication for them. But they require so much exercise and time that the dog becomes your life. Maybe when I am old and retired I'll get one!
My favorite doggos are pitbulls (unfortunately):
>Food motivated so easy to train
>Well suited to many different kinds of dog sports
>Fifty million of them at shelters
>Good energy level
>Retard amounts of endurance so they can go forever outside on adventures
>Total snuggle bugs and chill as fuck once you get indoors
>Generally their favorite thing in the world is to just be with you
>Coat is short and really easy to maintain but still super soft
>Super cute and total goofballs (until they maul an 8 year old)
>Generally mutts so they are really healthy
They're good boys who dindu nuffin
>>2180526
Golden Retrievers exist, though.
>>2180526
In the sense that private jets are the best mode of transportation.
If you're out with an animal, and an unleashed dog attacks it, and your animal fucks up the dog in defense but remains unharmed, who is liable?
I'm asking because I have the opportunity to get a hand raised porcupine, and am afraid of taking it out into the trails behind my house and having some retard's uncontrolled dog get fucked up and have me be liable.
There aren't many dogs out there, but it's a concern.
>>2180430
The dog can avoid confrontation at any point in time by walking away, your porcupine won't catch it ever. I don't see how a porcupine could attack a dog, unless it's been sleeping or something.
The only point their owners could make is "muh doggo ws only playing but evil purrcupine tried make it kill", which would be about the same line of defense as someone who tried to rob you by approaching you with a knife and later said he was only kidding, after you shot his leg.
Oh man I want a pet porcupine now, would go to dog park everyday.
Just make sure you have a license for it and other people really can't do shit.
It's along the lines of someone trying to say their dog was 'attacked' by a cat when it tried to play. It just isn't going to hold up in court seeing as the porcupine is a prey animal.
