... I agree with Bugguy.
i've watched all of these pornogs
I have chronic depression and was wondering what was a low maintenance pet or maybe even plant I could provide care for? It's hard enough to care for myself so I don't want anything like a dog or cat.
>>2042086
plants
insects

Get a few bird feeders and some nice feed and set it all outside and watch your birds come and go. It doesn't sound as exciting as it really is, like, once you start getting different kinds and color birds it's pretty cool and soothing.
>>2042086
What do you look for in a pet, OP? What's your budget? Does lifespan matter?
Chronic depression here as well, and generally I'd suggest rats. Low maintenance, trainable, affectionate, interactive. They're really the best low maintenance you can get as far as interactive and affectionate small pets. Cages can be somewhat expensive, but rats themselves are very inexpensive to care for. However, they can die in 2-3 years, so this is a big downside if you can't handle shit like that. I believe Guinea...

Little white worms keep crawling out of my cat's butt. They aren't in his poop at all; we only see them coming out of his butt or find the dried ones around. They also come out most often when he is in the bathroom with us.
We give him tapeworm meds but they keep coming back even though he doesn't have fleas and is inside only. Wtf?
>inb4 take him to a vet, we are already on it
Sounds like pinworms.
>>2042055
I thought dogs and cats couldn't get pinworms?
>>2042243
correct
Bought guppies and snail at petco and have them in a bowl isolated. They don't show signs of disease like ick. Should I continue the quarantine or wait it out ?
Also bought a suckerfish, and four tiny tetras and a potted plant from Walmart and was going to isolate them longer because it's Walmart. What should I do? Play it safe I'm sure you'll say.
I'm just worried about water oxygenation cause no bubbler or filter
Do you have an established community you're going to add them to or just starting out? If you have an established community you need to keep them quarantined even though they seem fine now. Give them a week or two and anything that was there will show itself.
>>2043897
Ok then I'll need a bigger bowl for the walmarters
My puppy was running out in the backyard then started crying and lied on the floor. I think she might have sprained her paw? I picked her up and moved the paw and it was limp.
I sat her in my lap for 5 mins so she could relax and she started to walk without a limp and is still able to go up and down stairs without a problem.
I feel like I shouldn't worry anymore, but I still am. Should I let her take it easy until Monday or is it okay for her to run around?
it wouldn't hurt to make her take it easy for a bit if you're worried.
She's fine, but it wouldn't hurt to limit her play time until Monday
Wolves might get delisted again. What are your thoughts?
http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/news/3929163-senate-bill-includes-wolf-delisting
That sucks if people are gonna go all crazy trophy hunting.
>>2043636
Yeah, because there isn't any regulation on that whatsoever.
>>2043635
Some wolves are more endangered than others. I'm fine if they acknowledge and respect this.
I want a wolf. Im getting a wolf and theres nothing anybody can do to stop me

The wolf will stop you.
is your pic your potential adoption? because that's not a wolf. it's not even a wolf hybrid.
We got a new puppy for the holidays, his name is R2-D2 which we just call him R2 for short. He was pushed away from his mother at 3 weeks(pic here at 5 weeks old) so we took him in and took over the weening process since the mother pushed him off too early. He's a wonderful, smart animal and shows tons of personality on his face. I love this bastard to death but I feel he might actually be the death of me, or my sleep altogether.
He is NOT taking with crate training although he did well the first two nights in it he has been throwing hissy fits every time he notices we are not in the room with him inside the kennel. Anyone got any advice for this? I've thought about giving him treats and such for being good while he's in there and not crying like a dying bobcat. I've also thought about giving him his daily food portions inside the crate to make him more comfortable in there when he is in there. Thoughts? Opinions? Please my sanity needs your help.
Hey man I got a boxer pup back in 2005 and that boy didn't know how to sleep or keep quiet for a ehile. But I'm telling you man, just stick with it. It's all good in the long run.

My older dog that I've had for about a year and half never went through these issues. Though, she's a rather quiet dog compared to him. He just shows so much personality and is very vocal. I've gotten into a few "talking matches" where we've gone back and forth with each other and he's barely 6 weeks old now. I am not normally one to crate train since I live in the country but have since moved back to a bigger city and he can't stay outside all of the time and I don't need...

give it time and keep your training consistent. puppies will go through phases where they seem to learn a behavior and then a week later start acting up.
How do you prep the bull?

Why?
Hey /an/, my dog has been licking his paws more than usual the last couple of days.
I came home from my classes today and saw this. He's only done that with one of his hind legs.
Does anybody know what the fuck he's doing, is this serious, and how I can potentially keep this from happening?

Your dog must be very uncomfortable to do that to himself.

how is this a bait? im new to turtles
no, they're too stupid to climb over the edge so don't worry about filling it more.
Not even a month ago I posted about the 50000 ducks that were killed in a fire at some Canadian CAFO
http://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/50000-ducks-die-in-fire-at-brome-lake-ducks-in-eastern-townships
I said there should be better safety regulation, that just because an animal is to be killed doesnt mean the person responsible for their life should not be accountable for suffering. I also said people would ignore it.
And now in Canada, it's happened again
"2,000 pigs perish in barn fire north of London, Ont."
http://www.cp24.com/news/nearly-2-000-pigs-perish-in-barn-fire-north-of-london-ont-1.2743354
"The fire comes nearly two weeks after a barn fire near Cambridge, Ont. killed 43 race horses. Another barn fire in Mt. Forest on Jan. 15 killed 13 horses."

What the hell. I get that animals are slaughtered. But they are still living things. There is a difference between swift euthanasia and suffering chaos, panic, confusion and pain while watching all your peers die and suffer and be helpless in captivity to escape.

not as mad as their insurance company is.

I guess you could make some regulations that they must use top notch equipment because it's about animal lives. Just thinking that this is probably the regular fail frequency of electronic appliances.

Just when I think I've decided which grooming tool is best, I'm met with another advertisement that makes me rethink my choice.
Long hair cat owners, what de-shedder/grooming tool do you like best? I have a himmy and he's difficult to groom. He thinks it's play time and won't stay still. So I need something that's highly effective without needing to really dig in there. Gentle too, because he's a big baby.
Greyhound comb, 100%, the teeth are long enough to reach down to the skin and pull out undercoat and the comb is dexterous enough to reach into sensitive areas like armpits and groin. Follow with pin brush for overall finishing.

This.
Plus you should talk to your breeder about groomin and using the right tools.
