Yeah you're gonna wanna feed it crickets for a while until it grows more, because that guy looks really eensey weensey. Just because pacs with shove anything you let them down their throat doesn't mean you should let them. And do not feed it live mice, especially at this age, they will kill it.

feed various insects dusted with calcium. in addition to crickets; butter worms, phoenix worms, dubia roaches (these are better than crickets both for you and the frog), hornworms, silk worms. put those in a wide smooth sided dish so they don't burrow down in to the substrate away from your frog. change water bowl frequently.

Okay just for future reference, never listen to the numbnut employees at any pet stores. 99.9% of the time they're full of shit and don't know squat.

You're going to want to feed it crickets, make sure they're gutloaded first. Google pacman frog care sheets. If you're going to feed it any mice at all, at that size, it should only be thawed pinkie mice, and only once a month, maximum. The rest of the time do crickets, I'd say go with 2-4 per feeding. Every other time you feed it, dust the crickets in vitamin powder and calcium, it's very healthy for them.

On that note, I'd recommend NOT feeding it in its enclosure, young pacman frogs will often swallow substrate, which can kill them. I take mine out of his enclosure and just feed him in a large tupperware container.

Ideally just Google pacman frog care sheets and learn

>older labs

Ones that end up in the shelter are untrained, crazy ones.

The dog I'm looking at is actually in a rescue, where the fosters work on their behavior and are more familiar with the dog's history.

I've looked into shelters, but all I see are chihuahuas and pit bull mixes. I'd like to get a dog from someone familiar with their histories and personalities.

People might get labs as beginner dogs but they almost inevitably fuck them up. They are super high energy and I would not recommend them for people who aren't experienced with training dogs. Most labs you will find in shelters were improperly cared for and have many behavior problems (generally why they were dropped off).

Your best bet would be to look into your local no-kill shelters and get a dog that has experience being around cats. It doesn't have to be a certain breed or whatever, just ask for the temperament you want.

Nonexistent.

Kill enough animals that you become desensitized

This, unfortunately.

Literally every snake does this when it sheds.

Ah, you must be prone to colorblindness then.

>I know it can't be one of those because I got bit five times down my leg from sleeping with one just like it, and there was only minor swelling and pain.
thanks, that made my night.
funny shit.

>the front looked like a hobo spider
>the back looked like a hobo spider too
>but it can't be a hobo spider because I found a spider that looked like it in my bed once and my leg didn't fall off or anything.
brilliant deduction, Sherlock.

>>2037098
Yeh, har har. I forgot to mention that the abdomen wasn't as thick as a hobo spider's, just that the markings were similar but simplified.

The two I found were the same kind, I can confirm. I also kept a female of the same type for a while and the egg sac was not like a hobo spider's.

>>2037103
none of those things is diagnostic though.
You can't ID a spider by markings or abdomen thickness, and you sure as hell can't ID it based on your reaction to bites that may or may not even be bites caused by a spider that looked similar to your completely uneducated eye.

that said, google wolf spiders and grass spiders and see if any look like your mystery insect.

There is a show called "my cat from hell" not sure if it still airs, but it's basically cat psychology in a nutshell. Try watching that show, see if there are any episodes online, like youtube, if it's not on animal planet anymore.

Basically, do everything that he tells the shitty owners to do.

The number one thing you will be facing is that your cat will need to exercise, a LOT. This can easily be achieved by simply tying some bright cloth/ribbon to a string, and then wiggling it around near your cat until she chases it.

After a while your cat will be panting, breathing hard, let her cool down until she gets her "second wind" then get her running and chasing the string again. Repeat this until she doesn't want to play anymore.

This should only take 15/20 minutes a day. Seeing as how cats are nocturnal, the best time to do this is either very early morning, (before your breakfast, for instance) or very late at night (before you tuck yourself into bed).

Other than that, the only thing you should know is that it's always best to have two or more litterboxes per each individual cat in the house.

And that if the cat isn't using the litterbox it's either A: you're a lazy fuck who doesn't clean it properly (would YOU like to park your behind on a toilet overflowing with shit and piss? Especially if your nose is as sensitive as a cat's?) or B: most likely a Urinary Tract Infection.

But seeing as how you obviously care about this cat you'll most likely do just fine. The only thing you should really be worried about are any fleas/parasites your cat may have picked up while being outside.

>>2037094
Thank you for recommending that show. I haven't watched Animal Planet since it turned into the "reality TV shows that are barely about animals" channel.

I just hope she isn't too mad when I have to put her in a crate.

>>2037108
Try wearing a shirt for a couple days straight, until it's basically saturated with your scent. Then when she is in the crate give her that shirt to cuddle up with.

I got a job at Petsmart when my only work experience was with childcare inside of a gym. They don't care about previous experience

so what you're saying is go back to school? :(

What do you want to do exactly, OP?

>>>/out/

>>2037011

It'll be fine.
As long as it's not actually rotting, it'll just sprout again.

Besides - everyone knows the only real way to kill a bulb plant is to rip it from the dirt, drown it in salt water, spit a mouthful of whiskey into the air and chant the Lord's Prayer backwards.

>>2037035
Thanks dude

Take the poor thing to a wide if rehabber. Don't keep it with you, you don't have the knowledge or means to take care of it.

>>2036700
>you don't have the knowledge or means to take care of it.
Says who, your stupid ass? I'll do what I want with it.

>>2036701
I'm not trying to be malicious op. It's a wild animal and requires different care than a domestic bird. If you are really that adamant about not giving it to a place that has the means to care for it then at least let it go where you found it. Provided it's no longer stunned and doing alright. I know you want to help it but you may end up doing more harm than good.
