i have a question for some of you animal people and maybe animal experts,
is it safe for me to take a german shepherd to phoenix arizona?
i currently live in texas and i know it should be fine to have a german shepherd in this area because my dad owns one in a city in mexico that has about the same temperature as here
but i plan on moving to Arizona in the next 2 to 3 years and want to know if it is safe for me to have such dog there
CHI
bump?
his eyes would sweat out of his head and he'd shit his intestines out
i was walking my Labrador in a quiet neghborhood this morning, and then some faggot rider with open pipes decides to rev his motorcycle right near my dogger. He flew past me so there was nothing I could do about it, and I'm still beating myself for not recording his plate.
Wouldn't give a second thought to corralling these antisocial fuckers and boiling them alive. I'm still livid. Fuuuuuck I hope his ears are okay.
what are you mad about? that motorcycles exist? are you ok?
Yeah, motorcycle riders are assholes. Motorcycles could be designed to generate much less noise than they do, but that isn't the point. The point is that you have to see and hear them, and in their minds, you will perceive them as cool and badass when they rev up that motor.
There is only one solution to the motorcycle problem, a very final one.

The song is deafening, and I have no problem with bikes, just some degenerates who ride them. There's usually no point to revving your engine when you aren't starting up the motor unless you're fucking with people walking by. Even that's just merely annoying to me, but don't do it right near a fucking dog.

Why do predators generally make better pets?
My guess is predators are generally more intelligent, since you have to be smarter to catch live prey than to just eat some grass. but I don't really know.
But that's not true
>>2179786
Tigers make pretty shit pets anon.
How have these things survived in the andes for 5000 years ?
They are small, have no means to defend themselves, and live with much larger predators
>>2179767
What a mystery. Guess we'll never find out how small, defenseless creatures haven't gone extinct yet.
>>2179767
They fucking burrow which works out pretty good.

There are a lot of >5 reply threads with the OP just asking a single question, so I figure why not gather everyone into one thread.
My question is, will a spider look bigger after feeding? I've had a small spindly one chilling in my room for a few days but suddenly its abdomen is bulging. If its just fed that's fine, but I don't want to let it have 50,000 spiderlings in the house. It looks kinda like pic but more of a snot color, with shorter legs and a longer thinner body, live in central Ohio.
Can anyone tell me what spider this is? Looked poisonous, I'm in England and it's sunny today
>>2179672
First off that's a harvestman, not a spider. Secondly, yes, being well-fed can make its abdomen bigger, though the most common cause of a shrunken abdomen is dehydration and the most common cause of a swollen abdomen is eggs. Only way to confirm it is to just wait for an eggsac.
>>2179679
It's a funnel weaver, probably Eratigena atrica if it's huge. It's harmless.

Thanks for the knowledge friend, good to know it's not going to kill me in my sleep
I really wanted a bird to be my first pet for a long time. When I asked you guys most of you said cockatiels are great for a beginner.
yesterday I finally got one.
I did not use my car ;I walked home : Put him in my room , gave him water , food. It has been almost 24 hours now and he still did not eat anything.And he did not drink any water.
He didn't even move at all. He was moving when I was carrying him but after that ; no movement at all.
He stared at the wall without turning around until now. So I decided to turn his cage around to make him face the room instead. As expected he still did not move.
I talk with my friends on my computer pretty much all day. I do not shout or do any high voices. Can my voice still disturb him ? Does he need sunlight ?
Is he going to be okay ?
Is this normal ?
What can I do to help him ?
Please help me out /an/
After a quick Google search, I found a relevant post on a forum from about 8 years ago: http://www.tailfeathersnetwork.com/community/showthread.php/51005-New-Cockatiels-not-eating
Basically, the bird is just a bit scared, and is warming up to his new environment. Some people in that thread gave that OP some suggestions on what to do (e.g. what to feed it, ect.).
From my own experience, birds usually aren't frightened by voices, as long as you aren't constantly screaming.
> Does he need sunlight ?
A quick Google search says that it's good for cockatiels to have some sunlight, but it's a good idea to let them get out of the sun if they don't want to be directly in it.
Anyway, I hope this helps! Cockatiels are great parrots, and make great pets (but I'm sure you already know that), but they can be a bit of work if you don't know what to do. There's a ton of good resources out there on the net, as well as many great books that have been published on owning and properly taking care of tiels, so if you have any questions, you can probably find a pretty good answer with a quick search.
Hope you enjoy your new bird!
>>2179626
Thank you ; That helps alot.
I just want to give him the best treatment possible.
When he does not eat or drink whole day it made me really afraid.

Nice post from /tv/!!!
This kitten has been living under my shed for (2?) weeks, I put some fried fish and water in a pet carrier and sat by it making meows and stuff until it trusted me to go in the box for food, then I shut it in (Feels like a dick move desu), I got a can of wet cat food from my neighbor and the cat liked it.The cat has some booger stuff on the eyes though (like when you wake up, but its wet).I put a towel in there for it to lay on as well. Is the cat OK?What can I do for it? How do I get it to trust me enough not to run back to the shed which has wasps, ants and the danger of it falling down because termites were in it for a year or two.
>>2179401
It should go to the vet. It looks like it has basically kitty pink eye, and if left untreated they can actually lose their eyes. Also I never ever trust feral/stray cats as outdoor cats. I would recommend converting him to an indoor cat because given the chance, their instincts may kick in when outside and Feral cats usually don't come back after being let out again.
>>2179402
I can't keep him, I just didn't want him to starve or get eaten (lots of big dogs and stuff here)
>>2179403
Is there a shelter or someone who can take him in and care for him? I mean he won't live long fending for himself if he's blind
I need help on what I should do to have an African Bullfrog as a pet, like what it should live in, and what should I feed it.
>>2179274
It should live in a tank and you should feed it bugs.
Why not try to get DMT pus frog though? It will actually do something productive for you.
>>2179275 How much water should I put in? By the way I wouldn't call getting high productive.

a bird rammed the house window and has been died for a few days. i am wondering what's the best way to bury it.
on the internet in multiple sources it says i shouldn't bury the bird under my (vegetable) garden (that's where it died). but none of them stated a single reason as for why. near my garden i also a have cherry fruit tree. so i am wondering which would be appropriated place for its burial.
On this episode of questions that don't need to be asked...
Bury it deep enough so the cats won't dig it up, the roots of the tree will make the the bird disappear faster.
can someone just tell me why i can't bury it under gardens?
Post your best. Here we go.
