Thanks, i try to keep her right, she just shit on my hand though..

Qt

That's a really big guinea pig.

Weird little hand-feet

>>2081788
Looks tasty.

Micropigs will not stay that small. Not unless you plan on starving it so it doesn't have the nutrients to grow

>>2085356
How big do they usually grow to be, then? I found a few sources that said Jack Russell sized, around 3 foot tall, 4 foot long-ish.

Pigs really aren't great pets, anon. I know some people with them. Yes they are cute and fun to rub their bellies but they don't really give a fuck about you, they're independent, destructive and intelligent, don't like to be picked up or messed with, don't really 'play'. It's a one sided relationship and its tiring to do so much for them and have them give you nothing back.


Plus 'micro-pigs' is a joke. You'd be lucky to find one that will grow to the size of the black one in that pig.

There was a pretty good vulture culture thread a while back though no instructions on skeleton assembly. I don't know shit myself but I lurk because it seems cool.

Oh, ta! I didn't see that thread: will go and give it a read now. Hopefully some of the people on that thread are lurking about.

I'm with you that it's pretty cool, we have a dog and a cat skeleton (pick related) in our study rooms at Uni, and they're absolutely fascinating to look at. Some of the smaller skeletons we've got at Uni are absolutely beautiful (for instance we've got a mole and it's paws are amazing.)

There's two parts to your project: cleaning the skeleton and articulating it.

For cleaning it, your best bet is to cultivate a dermestid beetle box. Remember to NEVER try to clean bones in hot water, as it drives the fat/grease into the bones and yellows them. Cleaning the carcass is the annoying and tedious part.

Articulating the skeleton with pins and wires is the fun part. It would help if you got a little rotary tool like a Dremel to make wee holes to run the wires and pins.

Poultry bones, being thinner-walled, are harder to work with than, say, a rabbit or cat or dog.

Buy a mutt

Lives longer
More healthy

But you should know the race of the parents, a 1/2 pitbull still needs to be trained with respect for it's temperament

>>2083033
Red fox here, too. Hopefully more strides are made in domestication

>>2083039

OP here.

There was a series of studies done on silver foxes in Russia a while back, where they bred them for generations, domesticating them. When the money ran out, they had to close the study, and sell the remaining foxes, who were now basically as domesticated as dogs.

not as pets but I'd love to have more corvids around my house

I have an Akita mix currently that is male, and he is called Kobi. But that's a terrible name, don't do that.

If I had a second male Akita, I suppose I would be looking at names like Tei or Hayabusa or Ume.

I name all my dogs after Avengers. Yes I'm that autistic. It would depend on the coat/markings and personality.

>>2082341
Name him whatever you feel comfortable with
He doesn't care--he's a dog
The fact that you don't know what to name him
And the fact you're obviously trying to be cute or creative
In a futile attempt to impress people
Makes me believe you bought this dog for selfish reasons

>>2081069
Probably because they realized it's one of the more unhealthy breeds and it's one of the top 10 dogs people buy.

Just read and listened to the video
>Scientists tell CBS News the idea is not to create designer pets, but rather to mimic diseases like Parkinson's in these dogs -- and then treat them in an effort to find a cure.
wtf?

>>2081082
Beagles are incredibly popular as lab dogs because of how docile and tolerant they are. They are even bred specifically to be lab dogs.

People can help identify it more if you can say what part of the world you are in

Fork-tailed Bush Katydid nymph.

Looks like a husky or a malamute.

I mean house broken in a sense of he won't shit on me and rattle his tail everytime I handle him.

put him back outside and buy a captive bred one if you want a pet snake. kings are cheap anyway and a CB snake will be happier and healthier in captive environment than your wild one will ever be.

it's a garter. common and harmless.

ALWAYS TELL US A GENERAL LOCSATION.

it looks like an average snake, maybe a water snake? it has no rattle, it doesn't look like a viper, but you could be aussier or something dumb and I'd be wrong it's an alaskan death cobra.

Let your poor dog poop, snakes aren't likely to pick a fight. Especially in spring, she's out looking for a mate, judging by the pine cones.

Invest in a good stick, with a fork, should cost about 3 seconds of your time. carry it with you when they're out, and just listen to them.
Learn our custom filthy gaijin. You must always give location

>Invest in a good stick, with a fork
those went out of fashion like 80 years ago. a snake that is too small like OP's can't be effectively pinned with one and a snake too big just gets hurt if you try to hold it down with a forked stick.
