I remember when I was little and I told about the aye aye to some of my friends at school and they didn't believe me. I had to bring my animal book and show them like "SEE HERE NOW MOTHERFUCKERS WHAT DID I TELL YOU". I thought it was a pretty sweet win at the time but in retrospect, they must have thought that I'm pretty lame.

... Eh, what, the animal itself? No, I don't have anything on it except that I think aye ayes are pretty cool.

Dope as fuck. Name one animal that used echolocation to hunt that isn't top tier

>>2082241
Bats are mainstreamish. :/ But they are still cool I guess.

>betrayal of one of your closest companions
nigga get over yourself. the dog doesn't know that they're gone. he's happier for it. literally. he isn't stressed out by aggression against other males caused by competition for females. he isn't constantly thinking about finding a female so he can get his jollies. he's less stressed and more calm.

dogs don't have the attachment to their balls that you do. if you're not a moron who projects onto his dog, there should be no problem with neutering.

yes. same goes for spaying. reasons should be obvious.

Neutered both the dogs. Female simply because I don't want puppies out of my bog-standard shelter staffie, male dog had one testicle that never descended so that was an easy decision (cancer risk increases significantly), but I'd have done it anyway. We do a lot of walking and running and I let them off-leash in appropriate areas so they can tear around at their own pace and dig and chase toys and shit. I think they're happier doing that than having to stay on leash walking at heel all the time because I don't know if there's another intact dog just out of sight.

I don't get their logic. Does your town have a rabies problem?
Not sure where you live but rabies is extremely rare in rodents and rabbits and here in the US, they have never transmitted it to a human. You are far more likely to get it from a skunk, raccoon, fox, bat or dog.

>guinea pigs
with any luck their petition says rats and you can keep your pets.

otherwise I'd suggest suing and moving, not necessarily in that order.

People around here are not very big fans of logic, sorry to say...

yup, my town has a big major rabies problem... I moved to a third-world country like the philippines 3 years ago and just in my high-class neighborhood there's 3 rabies treatment centers due to many public epidemics of enormous rats, lizards, cockroaches and especially almost 500 feral street cats roaming just in these 2 dozen streets of my neighborhood... and just yesterday walking for 60 seconds down my filth and trash littered street I counted 30 cats eating rotten food and scavenging trash and more than half the houses have dogs also.

Which begs the question...

The main species that are well known rabies carriers are allowed to reach a population beyond the level of public epidemic to the point that it's necessary to have 3 rabies treatment clinics just in my neighborhood... but a species like guinea pigs who plays a negligible part is socially feared and publicly targeted?

What am I gonna do?

I'm in trouble and outnumbered by a neighborhood of office workers, housewives and sellers with IQs of primates and currently have to keep the guinea pigs in my kitchen because I don't have another place.

I'd have to say that your house has a poltergeist or some other spirit in it. If you didn't know this, cats are -very- sensitive to such paranormal events.

Just desensitize the thing. get a big stock pot, put it upside down over the cat and hit he pot repeatedly with a wooden spoon. It will get used to it after a while.

Sigh.

Why did the camera loose color for some reason? Is it to reduce brightness since the animals are trying to sleep?

>>2084503

Its night. Cameras get a better picture in black and white with low light environments.

I should probably work. I'll post more when I get home.

leave her outside until she does her business. Then let her in.

2 hours is nothing. Leave her out for whatever it takes. 12 hours, 48 hours, whatever. It's up to her.

>>2085875
>It's up to her
Not when she's not the one cleaning the shit up

although training a pug is somewhat difficult given that they have been bred to be retarded

Guys please

Might be a little tough to tell you since we don't know your area. What's your general climate?

(Or country if you're cool with sharing that)

I would call it bed bugs. Should probably get your mattress checked out

How many people here use bare bottom tanks? Just wondering..

Sand or gravel cap for Walstad?

There's a thread before this one. Delete this.

Stop letting your cat outside and giving it milk, you double retard.

>>2075880
Do try to report him though. If he is a known animal abuser and has such a weapon, that's almost a solid proof.

How about you keep the cat inside from now on like a decent human being?

Horseflies are fucking awful.

I have literally never had any problems with those. On the contrary, they're cute as heck.

They don't bother me at all, they're easy to pick up and release, and don't cause any problem in my house.
Pic related is a real piece of shit.
