different spiderling but I think they are same species

There are not a whole lot of spider that are venomous enough to cause any real danger. Could you get a better or closed picture of the spider? Close enough to see colors, stripes and other markings?

>>2082271
Those pics are more than enough to tell that it's some sort of jumping spider, although I'm not sure which species. As far as I know, no jumping spiders are dangerous to humans.

While the most dangerous spiders can cause lasting injuries to humans, there is literally not a single spider species in the world that can kill an adult healthy human. Neither do they want to: no known spider species is aggressive towards humans.

Location

Hard to tell. Poke it with a toothpick and see if it moves. If it does, it's a tick. But it also looks like a scab.

>>2082041
I had a poke, didn't move, almost sorta came off. But whatever it is its dug in deep to her skin.

Looks like a paw.

Get up in the middle of the night and take the hamster.

>>2082004
break into their house in the middle of the night, hold them at gunpoint, douse them in gasoline and set them on fire.

>>2082004

call the humane society and animal control, and ask for their advice. They probably won't be able to do anything, but you never know. Hamsters will die with that kind of temperature variation, so maybe they will be able to do something.

Honestly though, I'd probably just pay a friend 20 bucks to steal it during the night and then take care of it or rehome it.

Sorry, I didn't mention that even though she was raised really sappy, this is kind of a new development. She hasn't been this crazy about cuddling with me until the past couple of months.

>>2081943
Go outside and enjoy life instead of watching TV?

>>2081989

Thanks for not being helpful. I go out a lot, but I also work a lot. Sometimes I just want to come home and sit on my computer and watch the game or something without having a dog in my lap.

Pushed out like a black head

My mom squeezed out something pretty much identical from her dog's back. I don't think it's anything to worry about, since cats and dogs also get blackheads. Hairless cats get them really bad.

Obligatory, I suppose.

It's really nice to have if you have the money.

I take my dog to daycare on days when I both work and have night classes and would only be home for an hour that day. I drop him off at around 7am and get ready for work, pick him up around 2:30, and then I go to class until about 9pm. He'd be pretty miserable if he had to stay home all day like that, but he LOVES daycare. On days I'm going to take him, I ask, "Do you wanna go to puppy camp?" and he starts doing laps around the house out of excitement.

I was really lucky to find a good one. They also do boarding, baths/grooming, nail clipping, they'll administer some vaccines (kennel cough) and every once in a while they have a vet come in and do anesthesia-free teeth cleaning for a really low cost. They separate little and big dogs (and dogs with varying energy levels), in the summer they have pools and water toys, and they have indoor/outdoor areas that the dogs are free to move about in. They also have webcams so you can check on your dog at work and to keep the employees accountable.

All the praising aside, it IS very pricey (mine costs about $18 a day, and that's because I bought a package. drop-in is $26 a day), and I only do it because 1) I currently have the money, and 2) it isn't fair to leave a dog alone in an apartment from 8am to 9pm with only about an hour break. Last semester he got to go twice a week, this semester I've managed my schedule so he only has to go once a week.

Also, DO YOUR RESEARCH and make sure it's a good facility. Every once in a while you get horror stories like this: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/12/22/green-acre-boarding-dog-deaths-cruelty-charges/20795109/

>"This case never should have been brought in the first place, and we expect that after any further review the County Attorney will not find additional evidence to support bringing charges again," Wilenchik's statement said.

Those pieces of fucking shit have the audacity to say that shit because they got connections. Fuck.

>>2081936
I honestly would have found a way to do major physical damage to these fucks, if not killed them. I thought this case was still going but I only now found out the charges were dropped over a year ago. They're disgusting pieces of shit and I hope they really get what's coming to them.

>>2081839
nah fuck em LOOL

If they can draft a bill of rights, then yeah.

>>2081839
If they got rights, we would have to impose and uphold laws too.

pic of larry when healthy

He's dying and is extremely emaciated. Thats what a caterpillar looks like then it starves to death.

>>2081727
Those look like some kind of maggot. Is this bowl near the pantry? Could be a type of pantry moth larvae or a fly maggot. Something ain't right.

Looks like regular fly maggots to me - I had some very recently too.

>>2081727
Look like waxworms to me, but that's not a very good picture.

>>2081674
Just Google cat soup, pick any Chinese recipe you want, enjoy!

Shit in a bowl

Feed it to your cat

If he doesn't like it, maybe try Google you cunt.

>>2081637
they're prey animals, so they sleep intermittently
she's definitely been asleep, you just weren't awake to see it

of course, this is assuming that there isn't some kind of stressor that would keep her from sleeping, but it's best to assume good faith

>>2081648
This. They're also super light sleepers, so whenever you walk in the room you wake her up if she happened to be asleep.

>>2081637
2 months in and I haven't seen my bun sleep either. As I understand, if you see your rabbit laying down like pic related it is because she is chill as fuck.

you're going to end up giving it a heart disease like that.

>>2081518
no-go then, alright.

>I haven't noticed him getting sick or anything
do you really think heart disease or cancer is easily visible?

>he's lived to a healthy old age on one type of food
>why don't i change his diet
brilliant
