>>2122845
I thought about that being a problem but I figured theres a way around that

>>2122629
Very cute! How much did it cost you to make that?

>>2122631
I spent $31.31 on the 4x8' sheet of 5/8" pressure treated plywood and that was it. My carpenter friend let me use some redwood scrap to box it in and he also had that fencing just lying around. Let me use his shop and his tools to build it, patiently answered all my questions, and helped me to install it.

So I spend $31.31 and I think I owe Travis at least 2 cases of beer for all his help lol

cute...

They like never have any dogs.

>>2122551
I don't see any adoption stuff on here.

They have past memory, but they probably don't have the type of memory we do. Like they aren't going to remember dates, but they'll remember faces and probably smells.

My families old dog had a happy fit when my uncle came back home, and the last time she had seen him was 5 years prior during her puppy hood. She was never that friendly towards anyone else except the family, at least not right away.

My current dog also flipped out when we took her to a certain park where she got to run around off leash, and she hadn't been there in at least a year.

I think that myth just comes from uninformed people, or misinformed.

I wonder if they ever get nostalgic and remember previous homes they lived in and the things they used to do there. My cat used to love running up and down the stairs of our old house and now that we live in an apartment there are no stairs. I always regretted that part of his life got removed. I wonder if he remembers the good old days of running up those stairs.

my dog got hit by a door once and has not trusted doors since

Love birds aren't too loud in comparison to other species

>wanting a bird as a decoration
Get out

Isn't that finches are for though? They're basically the tetras of the bird world.

I usually just use wiffle balls as a base and fill them with paper/string and nuts. Once they rip everything apart inside you can remake them an repeat.

You can do a bunch of stuff with some wood dowels, twine, and zip ties. A drill and a little hack saw are all the tools required. Bamboo stakes from garden store work well also.

What bird(s) do you have anon?

I use unbleached coffee filters to hide treats in which I then put in a forage ball.
You can buy beads (of course not small enough to swallow/breakable) and put them on bits of string, my bird loves messing with them.

Also when I use them in food she likes to play with the core of a bell pepper; she doesn't really eat it, just chews it a bit and throws the seeds fucking everywhere.
Sure you do this already but you can repurpose broken toys and make frankentoys out of them.

You can pick up dirt cheap baby toys at car boot sales and sterilise them, they can make good foot toys for small/medium birds.

Btw good thread OP, I'm always looking for new ideas to keep my little feathery fuckhead (caique) occupied.

looks delicious

Really? Huh. Seem ladybugs all my life, never even thought about what they looked like as larva.

But this just a bunch of websites grouped together. Which of these are legit and which should be avoided?

It depends on the species. You should avoid the places that sell hundreds of different species as those are often little better than pet shops. Ideally you look for a breeder that specializes in only a handful of species.

So, what kinda herp ya buyin?

Mimi enters every single box, like many cats. Is this a reason to be abandoned?

The nautilus is a pelagic marine mollusc of the cephalopod family Nautilidae, the sole extant family of the superfamily Nautilaceae and of its smaller but near equal suborder, Nautilina.

DRAG THEM DOWN

>>2121829
Its fairly normal for it to still be settling in after 3 days.
Did you cover up most of the enclosure so she cant see out of all the sides/is it in a high traffic area?

>>2121836
No and no, i live in the boonies, i will cover her up though. Do i keep it covered until she starts getting active and comfortable or forever or what?

Do your research first please
I bred different kinds of Dynastinae/Cetoniidae/Lucanidae

I don't want to explain all this shit again, but here are a few things you might want to know.

1 of all, if you don't want to breed them or don't have patience, don't even try to get any kind of Dynastinae or Lucanidae

For D. hercules and his subspecies:
> 3 Larval stages which usually last for about 620 DAYS
>Pupal stage another few months
>Adults live for about 70 Days
>the higher quality food the Larvae get, the bigger the male will be
>The higer quality of food the adult female gets, the more eggs it will lay

So you basically take care of buckets of Forest soil and white rotten wood for a few years.
After that the adult beetles are too burrowed all day, thr females mate and are mostly borrowed in the soil after that
the males come out at night and fly around while beeing so loud , that you can't even hear a helicopter landing next to you

All this pretty much holds true for any kind of Dynastinae/Lucanidae
(Larval/adult time different in every species, different food, etc.)

Sounds fun?
If you are still interested in breeding any kind of Giant-/Or Stagbeetle, I might convince myself to give you more info

But I guess, if you you are thinking of importing them from Japan, you are just some weeb who likes the japanese beetle fight and now thinks keeping a beetle is like keeping a snake or something
Because there are breeders all over the fucking world

If not, then sorry

>>2121859
Why is breeding them so important? I keep a lot of other insects/arthropods, and Japan or Thailand seemed to be my only option to import big beetles. I'm fine with putting in the work to breed them, I have a lot of spare time, lol. Are you from America? My main concern is if I can even import them.

>>2121881
Legally? No, unless you get a form approved by the USDA. Here is the form you'll need to fill out:
https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/planthealth/import-information/permits

Realistically? Many people skip the form and buy the insects anyways.
