Jesus Christ you can't even lose the trip cross boarding. You're the worse kind of scum. Kill yourself or go inject yourself with cazador venom.

Or you could stop from shitting up another thread. I'm asking a legit question for once so cool your tits. Or would you rather me take this to /k/...?

>>2009020
>shitting up am the thread
You did that by tripping.
Contain it to /k/ you limp wristed wasp freezing faggot

I can see why if it's like a huge snake you have to feed rabbits in a bathtub or something venomous but that snake isn't really that big. That sucks.

>>2008825
I think what even makes it worse is the fact that the snakes were frozen to death. I would be very disheartened if that happened to my beardies...

Poor woman.

She'll be fine. Bunnies do this pretty often in captivity, especially if you don't keep the sexes well separated. They have multiple litters in the wild, too.

The kits can be raised together, shouldn't be a problem. You'll want to separate them out by sex before they hit sexual maturity, though. The kits can be removed and put in a new cage after four weeks, which is about how long it takes for her to gestate new kits. So, you prefer, just take the old babies out of the cage when the new ones are born. Baby rabbits wean around 4 weeks. We usually separate them from mothers after six weeks, but 4 weeks is fine.

Holy shit, how do you let that happen twice? Crimeny. Owners like you are the biggest reason spaying/neutering is so fervently encouraged.

>inb4 momma rabbit has son and gets pregnant by it

That aside, I'd move the kits out of the cage so they don't disturb her nest. Make sure they don't get the chance to have sex with their daddy; they can ovulate as young as three months, so if he fucks his babies, you might have some incest litters on your hands. As far as the doe's health is concerned, ask your vet what you should watch for, if anything. Rabbits are good at breeding, that's sort of their thing. I think she'll likely be fine, but I'm no expert.

I really think you should consider rehoming either your males or your females and only keep one sex, since you've let this happen twice now. I know that's not what you want to hear.

>>2008235
Learn how to properly skin and gut a rabbit. Eat the males before they're big enough to fuck their mother. Eat any females you can't afford to keep.

They make a great roast and there are tons of recipes online. You can also look up humane slaughtering techniques. Not even being edgy with ya. I've trapped wild ones and roasted them while on long hiking trips and camping trips on friends property.

Better pic

No breed, just a domestic shorthair.
The color/ pattern is mitten blue point.

>>2008207
Cool, thanks!

You need to take him to a animal rescue of some sort. Just to be safe.

stop contributing to environmental damage by supporting feral pest species.

Sorry friendo. You have to amputate the fingers.

>>2007905
From the markings on its belly, and the size of the sting, I can tell you its a ruthless killing machine and I used to catch these all the time out behind my grandmas house, but I dont know anything else about scorpions.
Bees of the sand.

It is C. vittatus if that helps.

please look up what determines the breed in a scorpion.

then think if you are able to picture the parts of the scorpion needed to identify its sex

I don't wait until they bite me to smash them.

Where will you be hiking? What's the weather like? Will it get very cold or very hot?

>>2007473
I live in the UK.

I had my eyes on GSP for its all rounded news.

>>2007608
I'm pretty sure you don't have wolves or bears there.

>>2006878
wear a hat?

also, depening on your locality, the bear danger is very very real. they'll travel like 30miles for you bees and they don't fuck around once they locte it.

>>2006880
I live in Utah, and there are a lot of local bee keepers around. There are bears, but they are all way up in the mountains. they never make it as far into the valley as my home.

>>2006878
-Do you live in the suburbs or rurally ? - sometimes local government laws and public opinion can get prevent you.

-If you are starting off make sure to get at least too hives, reason being that it allows you to compare them and be better able to spot differences and problems.

-Bees aren't as handsfree as you might think, you do need to keep tabs and check on them, especially in America where disease and parasites are such a big problem.

-You will get stung

-Once they reach a certain size hive wise they will swarm - which is where half the hive effectively leaves to start a new one. If you dont prempt this and move bees to a hive box of your own, you'll effectively loose half your hive. Not only that but if you live in suburbia they might try and form a new hive in your or your neighbors roofs which will cause trouble.

-Make sure to read blogs by beekeepers/browse the relevant forums as well as do your own research. Its not complex but its not real easy either.

-When buying queens if you can get them marked ie with a coloured spot put on them this will help you monitor your hives.

-Most people have irrational fear of bees - remember this when dealing with people in relation to your hobby.

id put the root in front of the heater, move the plant in front of it to the back. only keep the smallest plants in front center. it'll make the tank seem bigger and more open

>>2005990
Put three litter boxes down in the main rooms of the house and put him in one so he knows its there. Litterbox training shouldn't be a problem as cats usually want to bury their waste.

You're going to have to set about an hour out of your day (broke up into 2 or 3 periods preferably) to play with your cat. He's going to get restless.

Besides that maybe look into getting a harness and harness training. Contrary to popular belief, adult cats can be harnessed trained, its just going to take some patience and time. I highly suggest you watch a YouTube video on how to properly do it so you don't make him fearful of the harness. Plus seeing how to do it will make it much easier.

He is a senior (11 years) and whenever tried to play with me before he would just sort of ignore me and instead want to cuddle. I remember when he was still a kitten I attempted to walk him around on a leash whenever he wanted to to go out (before I left him be an outside cat) and he pretty much hated it.

>>2006004
Domestic Short Hair. Only other place with any color on his coat is his forehead (big black spot)

She might not be getting the nutrition she needs. What kind of food are you giving her?

>>2000153
Experienced breeders have bred them for there loving temperament over the past century. Since they're retrievers, it's necessary for them to be very family friendly. That's what makes them extremely able to be tamed.

>>1999590
My cat is like this as well. Because my puppy is so high strung, I pick her up sometimes and slowly carry her over to my cat and let her sniff her. Face to face doesn't work most tiems, so I've been letting her sniff her butt. My cat has been tolerating her a lot more recently and I think you should try this.

>>1999422
It could develop into a hostile behaviour when she's older. Tug of war should be fine because she know's she's playing, but if she is directing her growls at you when you take it away, then it needs to be dealt with.

>>1999344
Teach him to stay and other basic commands. Once he's more well behaved and can pull off a good stay, seclude him in a puppy proofed room (no cords or anything to chew on in reach) when you're gone.

>>1999082
Wheatens are very nice soft wire hairs. They're a terrier so they have a lot of energy. Co-worker got one and he's an absolute doll.

>purina super coat for puppies

>Meat & meat by-products (from chicken, beef and/or lamb) and/or poultry by-products
That's quite vague. Why didn't they just mention what's in it? By-products are NOT good.

>fish and fish by-products
Same thing with above

>wholegrain cereals (wheat and/or sorghum); cereal by-products and/or vegetable proteins;
Third item on the list and they've already gone to shit. Again with the by-products and wtf is 'vegetable protiens'. The reason vegetables are in there is to give your puppy a balanced diet with proper vitamins. Not just fucking protein.

>other cereals; minerals and vitamins (including, sodium chloride and/or calcium carbonate and/or potassium chloride and/or choline chloride; vitamin E, zinc sulphate, ferrous sulphate, niacin, copper sulphate, manganous oxide, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, vitamin A, pyridoxine hydrochloride, folic acid, potassium iodide, vitamin D3, cobalt carbonate, sodium selenite, vitamin B12); beet pulp; garlic, rosemary plant extract.

The first five ingredients should be specified for meat and vegetables. You don't want "cereals" and "by-products" in there. That could just be some horrible animal they scraped off the side of the road. You want to know what's going into your dog.
Also, imo I don't think you should look for food that has labelled "for coats" because if it was a good brand, all of its foods should be aimed for health. And that's the best way to see how healthy your pup is, by how healthy their coat is.


I recommend these brands:
Acana
Origin
Blue buffalo
Back to basics

Maybe someone can give me some insight on this.

My 6 year old AmStaff stopped eating and drinking. Took her into our vet and they couldn't diagnose anything, said it may be a stomach bacteria, gave us some antibiotics. After a couple of days of that, she started vomiting. Took her in again, and they though they saw a mass in her intestines. An exploratory surgery later, no mass, but a couple of enlarged lymph nodes. Nodes are out for analysis, waiting on results.

What is going on with my dog /an/? It's killing me that shes like this. Anything else my vet should be looking at? Her only symptoms now are:

Black, all liquid bowel movement
Lethargy
Not eating
Drinking some water

Pic related - its my child.

May I present to you, Col. Kurtz in feathers

I mean, I've held more friendly budgies at zoo exhibits. It's actually kind of shocking.

>>2008684
i used to own two of these fucks and this pic looks pretty much like one of them. the other one was blue and retarded and her eyes were two different sizes it was fucking weird. they died like 14 years ago and seeing budgies still triggers me.

It's pretty cheap for the peace of mind. Just do it. Especially since it is an indoor cat and likely to just freak the fuck out if it escapes and who knows what might happen. And it's kind of safer than wearing the tag because it could get caught up and hang itself in a freak accident. It's like 25 dollars, you'd spend more on a lifetime of potentially dangerous collars.

Additional expense? Aren't they like $25...?
I think it's worth it, in any case. In the event that she does escape, and someone tries to keep her your name will automatically show up when she's taken to the vet. Or if her collar falls off somehow by getting snagged or something
