Fucking these shits. They raid my fucking home when it rains and they all just die inside because it's too dry.

but op pseudo scorpions are bros

Two months ago one of my girls had an ear infection that gave her a head tilt. Round of antibiotics got rid of it. It's back again and even worse, now her head's even more tilted. She's like a tiny drunk person walking around.

Fucking ear infections. She's on antibiotics again, but how long until it clears up?

Sookie rat letting me hold her paw.

She's 2 years old. I got her from Petco, I went in to buy rat food and they had an oops litter that someone had brought in. Adopted her and her sister (RIP) for five bucks each. She has a tiny ear and a cloudy eye.

My rats stopped scratching and her wound healed, whatever was bothering her seems to be gone, so I decided to finally introduce her to a neighbour. However they don't seem to be interested in interactions.

Here's its head

>>2151725
some Scolia species.
Maybe Scolia flavifrons

>>2151731
Megascolia maculata flavifrons rather.

Keep it in a dark quiet place and if it's still alive take it to the closest wildlife rescue.

Also when people think parents abandoned it they didnt. The parents are watching it and come back later. So good job on that.

It's not abandoned, it's just learning to fly
The parents keep a close eye on it and feed it while on thw ground. If it hasn't been too long you should try to put it back where you found it so the parents can find it.

GIVE ME BACK MY SON

>>2151645
You mean your wife's son

Cardigan or Pembroke? Contact the breed club.

>>2151465
finally a thread where i can impart some of the knowledge i've gathered.

the pembroke welsh corgi club of america will list all the reputable breeders in the country and has a lot of other information on the breed as well

http://pwcca.org/about-the-pwcca/membership-directory/


try to go to dog shows and speak to breeders there. it shows you're committed. i don't think any reputable breeder would ship you a puppy to be honest and they'll want to see you at least once before agreeing to give you a puppy. a reputable breeder will have health tests done on their dogs. for corgis i think breeders generally have tests ran for eyesight, von willebrand disease and hips. many breeders will have waiting lists of a year. be expected to pay at least 1200 - 1500

i think that's generally what you need to know to get a corgi. i should know i want to get one myself but won't be able to for several more years if at all.

i suggest you research the breed more because i suspect you don't know much about it. i'm happy to try to answer any questions you might have

>adopt a puppy
>breeder
I sincerely hope you are reincarnated as a dairy cow

>>2151414
>zoo attached to a military training center

What is the meaning of this?

>>2151415
Obviously they are trying to train combat jaguars.

>>2151415
The military usually keeps (illegally) wild animals as pets after rescuing them from widlife smugglers

Dis is mine.

Its Dat boi

Looks like a greater speckled blur

Snek

Looks like a very happy little dude. Hope the vet gives him a clean bill of health!

>>2151067
Found a place near me that'll do everything for $56, he's going the day after tomorrow a bit longer than I wanted but it works.

Did you mention to the vet that your cat was doing that?

Maybe she just likes the feeling of kitty litter on her butt

Op again, adding she has been vocalizing a lot lately, especially upon waking, which I know can be a sign of memory issues or even Alzheimer's. She has an appointment with a different vet soon, I'm not one of' those' people.

>>2151023
Yup, told her every quirk, and this is our usual vet so she knows the cat well. Cat is drinking, eating, voiding properly.

No, pitbulls arent inherently man aggressive.

Neapolitan Mastiffs, Dogue de Bourdeuxs, Bullmastiffs, Mastiffs, Cane Corsos or Cane de Presas or any mixes of those are fine companion/minder dogs. Start obedience with a proffesional trainer from a young age.

Buy a gun instead. It won't try to bite your face off and won't be bribed with a steak soaked in antifreeze when you need it most.

If you want an actual protection dog, check these guys out:

Boxer/st Bernard?
Boxers can get about that big, I know a 150 pounder.

If you value the bird, you need to keep them permanently separated- if the cat is in the room, it is supervised and the bird is in its cage out of sight and reach, and the cat is removed from the room if it gets too close. If the bird is out of its cage or you are not around to supervise, the cat is locked out of the room. You can definitely keep both in the same household, but cats are never 100% reliable around small prey animals and they can fatally injure a bird even through bars.

>>2150365
I suppose that's the kicker, then. I live in a smallish one bedroom that pretty much runs bedroom->kitchen->living room with a small side office and a bathroom, so the options for keeping them apart when not at home is to either close off a third of the roaming space to the animals or stick the bird in a windowless little office for eight hours a day. It seems cruel to me to deprive the thing of natural light and possibly a view of the outside/a larger space.

>>2150383
Yeah, don't get a bird.

btw, here's the cat in question.

his name is Simon.

>>2150287
He's such a qt. There's not much you can do with cat while traveling, make sure to pet him and calm him as much as you can. Open the bag a little, stick your hand, scratch him or something like that. He'll know you're close and he'll feel safer.

>>2150293

Thank you anon,

I know cats are territory bound so I want to try to stress him as little as possible.

Would trimming his fur a bit lower the chance of overheating?
