Read the fucking caresheets or take chameleon back to pet store.

>>2059949
We did that pleb, you think we are crazy? They are just pretty shitty, I think we probably need to get a stronger heating light, but other than that I think we are doing everything properly. Are we missing something big specifically or did you just assume we are trying to mistreat the animal he got?

>>2059954
>first reptile
>not using dripper and asking about the moving water issue implying you don't know implying your research is inadequate

Do you have it in a screen enclosure? How big? How's the humidity? Are you monitoring it? You can't just hand must the tank with chams. They need a delicate balance of airflow and high humidity. You usually need a misting system to achieve this correctly. This is an advanced reptile to keep and very easy to kill if you don't know what you're doing. You and your friend do not sound like you know what you're doing.

Peruvian long beard shepherds are as loyal as you can get.

>>2059902
all dogs capable of functioning as dogs are 10/10
that means no pugs/bulldogs/etc

Owned Aussie Sheps whole life but I love Greyhounds, so probably Greyhounds

Don't mean to hijack your thread or anything, but I also need cat help. Mine chews off all his fur, I took him to the vet, and the vet gave him a steroid, it didn't really help him he kept on chewing after about a week. I saw some stuff online that said maybe anxiety, anything I can do for him? I'd prefer not to medicate him if I don't have to, but I'm getting tired of his auto cannibalism and him looking like a zombie.

You fucked up.
What you should have done is designated a cat room and locked the cat in for about two weeks.
You need to start over.
You will also be able to tell exactly how much your cat is eating (and pooping) by restricting his movements. Then in a few weeks let him out to explore the house. The cat room will be his safe place, and he will return to it when he feels afraid.

>>2059692
She IS locked in an isolated room! She is in a safe space!

>>2059612
I'm still going to eat meat and fuck your mom tonight, though.

>>2059612
Plant protein and meat protein are two completely different proteins.

Otherwise there wouldn't be animal species. We would all be photosynthesizing plants that can walk and talk.

Those circle farms are neat looking.

How big is your apt, will there be room for her to run at all?

>>2059479
She should be just fine after adjusting as long as you take her for the occasional walk. Once a day if manageable, if not maybe 2 or 3 times a week.

>>2059517
I don't know about running, It's large by 2 bedroom apartment standards, but there's not giant open space to run in. She's about 8 years old, so she's not some hyper puppy.

>>2059532
I had intended on probably 2 a day for a while as she adjusts. (I'm NEET) There is a really nice public park walking distance from my apt. In the summer she can swim there too.

The vaccine is like a flu shot; it doesn't necessarily stop the illness, but it helps prevent it. Even with the vaccines, some dogs will still get kennel cough. This is extremely common in places that kennel many dogs at a time. Kennel cough can also be caused just by stress alone, in which case the vaccine won't do dick for the stressed KC dogs. Are they responding to medications?

>>2059462
..I appreciate your feedback but I am asking for other tips for our vet office to use as far as further prevention. Just like the vaccine the medicine doesn't prevent it so that isn't really what I was after. Thanks anyway!

>>2059779
You were asked a question shithead.

>>2059370
Eh rather they bring em to the shelter than they leave em in the yard to starve. Yeah it's pretty shitty but there's way worse happening to pets elsewhere

>>2059370
>>2059373
>How do you feel about this?
Like it's their choice, tbqh if they're dumping them it's more than obvious that those dogs are better off without them, and if you really cared you'd go over and adopt them forever instead of being butthurt. What are you achieving by posting them on 4chan? Don't answer that, it's rhetorical.

>itt OP is a fag as always

What's wrong with bone fragments? Most frozen raw food comes with it. Are you taking about canned wet food? That's not OK... Buy better food? What brand do you buy?

>>2059308
ive found its in most brands.

Aren't there bits of bone on purpose because they would eat bones for calcium in the wild?

>>2059186
Yeah. Don't. It requires way too much care, you will fuck up and it will suffer. Get a hamster.

>>2059198
hamsters are nocturnal and shit pets.

OP, just get some rats. they're nocturnal too but will easily adapt to your schedule

>>2059233
>implying chinchillas aren't nocturnal
>implying OP doesnt want one just for bragging rights

Gets your mouth and lips numb gets your head clear I couldn't even drink my beer or smoke my weed it was like I was content for once doesn't taste to good I think it's better served warm. Try it tho

Cool there's a plant thread here.

Got this cactus back in late December, only watered it twice since then.

I just noticed that it's beginning to bulge at the top. That's entirely normal right? Is it just a normal bud? Or have I fucked my shit up?

it's mildly relaxing, tastes like shit, can cause liver damage over time, and there's better legal and illegsl drugs

It isn't good for her teeth. The bread residue can cause tooth decay.

>>2058992
i never know how to digest this kind of advice. so how does this act? say is a quarter of a bread too much for every day? what other food causes this?

>>2059004
A quarter liaf or quarter sluce?

the cucumber cat meme is performed by silently and sneakily placing a cucumber near them while their attention is 100% focused om another activity, like eating, so that they lose awareness of their surroundings. This causes the cat to be startled when it looks around, trying to regain awareness and suddenly spots a large thing which looks like it is creeping up on him.

If you give a cat a cucumber while he is looking I guarantee 100% he will not give a shit.

Because cats are idiots and cucumbers look like snakes.

Getting spooked by an unexpected, potentially life threatening situation is hardly dumb. The key word here being unexpected.

I like my dog; he's soft, clean, quiet, and makes a good foot warmer.
Pretty indifferent to other dogs unless they are being destructive or obnoxious.

>>2058823
I used to sleep outside in a sleeping bag all summer since our house didn't have air conditioning. Barking dogs were my nemesis.

In a similar format to another post in the cat thread:

Cons:
-slobbery and drool everywhere
-Smell weird
-Don't clean themselves
-More annoying/harmful than cats when untrained or poorly socialized
-Many genetic health issues in purebreds plus pugs, Bulldogs, similar exist
-/an/
-self proclaimed "dog people"
-Require more upkeep in some areas than cats
-Some could/would definitely kill you

Pros:
-Trainable
-Can take places easily
-Bros generally
-Temperaments more predictable because purebreds are more readily available than purebred cats
-Come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and temperaments
-Working dogs
-Can actually be trusted outside in a yard without running away
-Cuter young that don't look like upset gremlins in fursuits
