February is National Pet Dental month. Ask your veterinarian if they are offering any discounts on dentals this month!
>>2051591
Actually it's Black History Month
You know, if you fed your pet a species-appropriate diet they probably wouldn't be suffering from poor dental hygiene.
I brush my doggo's teeth just about every night. Do you, anons?
Hey /an/,
I just got a 14 week old puppy today. He ate one small can of puppy food at about 7:30pm and we took him outside 10 minutes later, but nothing happened. We let him play for a bit and eventually he did pee but never pooped.
It's 10:30 and still nothing. He has peed on newspaper a few minutes ago but does nothing outside.
Normal? Should I be concerned? Is it just new house/diet? The foster fed him 'beneful' but we got him merrick grain free puppy food.
Is it detrimental to housebreaking to let him use newspapers? He seems...

Have you had a puppy before?
A thread for those who are not with us today.
Rest in Peace Island. You were a great cat.
All right, I'll post my best pics of tiger. I miss him. Tiger was a really nice kitty. He lived a long and happy life.
This is a cute baby picture of tiger. He was a really nice kitten.
Tiger sleeped in the window. Sometimes when he was super warm from the sunlight I'd pet him and his fur was really hot. When he did this I called him "Deep Fried Tiger".
Just wondering how the whole process works.
How animals are obtained how they are shipped what do they do to make sure they don't get caught and that the animals live how can you tell the diffence between a legit smuggler to an illegitimate one etc. got bored and curious about it... I want answers
>>2051361
shitty smugglers use public transportation because el chapo will cut their gram grams head off unless he makes 15k by sunday.
good smugglers own a modest boat with a side business- angling, tour, salvage, science. they have contacts along the coast for fuel and guides. they buy exotic species from the guides for pennies on the dollar then drop them off along river delta settlements in the states to be sold privately- online, conventions, collectors.
you dont want to buy directly from smugglers unless...

Most smuggling is done by mislabeling one creature as another on cities paper work.

You say an Asian arowanna is a silver for example or you hide a few fish in a shipment of food tilapia as "contaminants".
So I have this cactus that I got in like 6th grade, no joke. It was one of those kinds that you buy at Lowes with the red thing glued on top to make it fancy.
That was nearly 8 years ago, I'm in my second year of college and I just found this thing again in my family's basement. I guess somebody's been giving it a bit of water now and then, but what the fuck. How is this thing still living and how has it gotten so crazy? What can I do for this poor plant to make it nice and healthy again?
>>2051143
I dunno dude, I figured I might as well look after it since it's here. I mean I don't really have the urge to have a cactus anyway.
Besides, all the cacti at my local store are still those bullshit ones with the flower thing glued to the top. Those and these ones that are like spray painted blue and purple. It's tacky and gross.
If I saw a nice little normal cactus somewhere I'd buy it.
>>2051143
Maby the fact that its been down there so long makes him want to save it. I know I would.
>back to being a negative asshole.
>>2051143
How about you just let people enjoy their own lives you dick.
I bought a cactus at the home depot only to find that the flowers were hot glued on to her. (I named her Petunia) Home depot refused to put a sign up about the lie they are selling nor would they talk to their third party vender, cactuscollection.com
These monsters damaged a perfectly good and lovely cactus and made a profit off of it.
I'm fucking pissed.
>>2051138
Yeah, it's lame. Supposedly they sell better with the hot glued flowers.
Of course it will sell better, if you lie saying its something it's not people would be more likely to get it.
>>2051138
Would they let you return it?
If you want, put it up on facebook and send a message to them. You never know, may get some decent exposure.
Help me /an/ I think I'm starting to loose my mind. I saw a vedio on Facebook with some purple things that would just kinda jump/float right above the rocks in a guys saltwater aquarium. They looked like they had 6 legs and I thought they were very cute... The thing is I'm having such a hard time trying to find it in starting to think I dreamed up a animal on a Facebook video. So.. For my sanity... Does anybody know what I'm talking about? It kinda looked like this (I am really bad at drawing, sorry)

Googling that brought me to a lot of "micropenis sex position" are you a troll or did you spell that wrong?
anyways, it's an uncircumcised nudibranch

Would you get one?

I don't know how domesticated they are. They are cool, but I don't trust breeders and buyers...and those are the only ones who talk about domesticated foxes

I was thinking more vets, shelter workers, and things like that. The first is secondhand and the second is a buyer. Less personally biased firsthand accounts.
Hey guys! So, I just adopted a lil bunny.
Everything was fine til yesterday, whe I started to notice that his poop started to look "fresh" (He used to shit "dry", you know what I'm sayin?) and some of them have a weird kind of mucosity.
I read that it may be caused by his diet, but I'm really worried about him having some kind of parasite or illness.
Pic related, it's him.
Thanks!!

Also, this phot was taken a few days ago. Know he only eats hay and a little bit of pellets.

.......do you not even know the first thing about rabbit digestion?
Your rabbit's turds are perfectly normal.
>>2050469
Rabbits have these special turds. They're soft and look like little turd blackberries. Perfectly normal. The dry ones are like cocoa puffs.
Sorry if you can't eat either one of those foods anymore.

Please get to a vet and learn more about rabbit care! Cause >>2050487 is right.

How do I make my cat as fat as possible without killing it?
This is a really important question.
>>2050367
find the nozzle to inflate and then blow him up.
>>2050369
Fuck off dobson
>>2050369
I'm afraid that might not work very well with the "without killing it" part.
Also, I'd prefer a permanent solution.
Thank you for your input nonetheless.
I may or may not have found a cat in a parking garage last Monday. Most cats you come across run away when you approach them, but this guy didn't. Found him in the morning, and then he was still there in the stairwell 4 hours later. So I scooped him up because I don't know why.
All he does is hide. He's under my bed right now. He's eating really little, and he's only pooped once since I got him (Thursday). Won't even come out for catnip, which they apparently love.
How do I get him to come out? He comes out when he thinks I'm...

Put food inside pet carrier. Let the cat roam freely but also provide asap a cat sandbox
Black cats are the best cats.
Give him some time, he will warm up to you. I know you need to bring him to the vet and stuff but chasing him will only make him fear you more.
>>2050335
Do what this anon said and put the food in the carrier. When he goes to eat, sneak and close the door so you can get him to the vet
Well if you were able to pick him up at some point, he will settle down.
Can someone please tell me what kind of fly is this ?

Looks like quarts.
Probably quartz. And if I know anything about Australia, it's probably venomous.
Is there only a specific period of time when there are baby squirrels around or are there baby squirrels around ALL year?

Is there only a specific period of time when you are retarded or are you retarded ALL year?
>Eastern gray squirrels can breed twice a year, but younger and less experienced mothers normally have a single litter per year in the spring. Depending on forage availability, older and more experienced females may breed again in summer.[19] In a year of abundant mast crop, 36% of females bear two litters, but none will do so in a year of poor mast crop.[20] Their breeding seasons are December to February and May to June, though this is slightly delayed in more northern latitudes.[11][16]
