>tfw i got to clean this cage today
and it only took like four fucking hours
>>2110558
That's a cool looking parrot.
>>2110558
4 hours? are you legitimately retarded or something?
>>2110568
It's a LOT bigger than it looks. Huge flight pen.
Someone on /adv/ said this was the place to post this.
So I bought a mushroom grow kit (Golden Teacher) and I think I might have done something really stupid.
It said to put them in the fridge, but as english is not my native language I mistook fridge for freezer (doh). Have I destroyed them now? I have been trying to grow them for about 6-7 days now and still no sign of anything.
Should I wait a bit longer and see what happens, or is this pretty much a lost cause?
I read somewhere that the first pinheads should appear after 5-20 days so I know it could still happen, but how long should I keep this up until I give up and try with another kit?
>>2110541
Give them a little more time. If the spores had started to germinate/grow, freezing probably killed them. If not, they might still grow.
>>2110549
I will give it some time.
What breed is my dog?
Looks like a kelpie or at least part kelpie
Looks like a mutt. Typically mixes are some of the healthiest and most loyal dogs.
purebred doggo
What is this?
heckgrammite

Dobson Fly larva, a Hellgrammite
ive never seen one in my life
Any anons with experience in buying fossils, shark teeth and stuff like that online? What are some trustworthy sources?
I'd like to get some stingray barbs. These seem legit and the seller has 99% positive feedback, but I'm not sure. Price seems to be a little too god to be true.

stingray barbs don't cost much, especially when short. those are max 2.56", so the price seems within reason.
Also amusing are swordfish bills, if you're into dead sea animal parts. If you get one make sure to shine a flashlight through it to check out the interior structure, which is neat.

Though that's a marlin.
Whats the appropriate length to get a new dog? I loved my American Bulldog of 15 and a half years but just had to put her down. There's just never been a moment in my life where I've never had a dog now my apartment feels a lot more empty now without her. Like I don't want to rush things or anything like that and I hate to use the world replacement but things just don't feel right without her.

It really depends on how you feel. If you are the kind of person who can love a new dog and not constantly compare it to your old dog, then get a new dog.
I went through a similar situation this year. I had 2 dogs and one of them died young after an emergency surgery and hearing just one set of paws following me around broke my heart. I wanted to wait a few months, but I ended up only waiting a few weeks when I found the right dog on a rescue's website. I love my old dog, and I love my new dog. Try...

I think I might do constant comparisons if I get another Bulldog though I really doubt i'll ever find one like her again.
Never ever barked, never aggressive, friendly around everyone, always listened, and while she was never aggressive or never had to be( thankfully) she was just big enough to where she would definitely scare people though I think that was because they thought she was a pit.
I think i'll wait a couple more weeks and see how I feel. like I also kinda want to wait a few months...

see how you feel in another week or two. Every dog has their own adorable quirks and mannerisms. I know how much it hurts to think about the qualities you've lost, but when you get a new buddy you'll find new things you love about your buddy. I wouldn't recommend getting the same breed if you aren't super into that breed (like some people only own one kind of dog forever).
If you liked having a chill bulldog you might like: great danes, bassett hounds, greyhound or something similar or mastiff
My neighbour got a 2 week old guinea pig and is neglecting the shit out of it (it has no toys, small cage, etc). They are gonna be gone for 2 weeks now and we are taking care of the guinea pig (food/water). Should we leave it in the neighbour's house alone so it's less stressed, or put it in our house and try to interact/socialize with it as much as possible (so it's less stressed in the future, dealing with the spastic neighbour's kid)? I feel really bad for the guinea pig and I don't know what's best to do. Pic from google but it looks just like that (female).
>>2110347
Ending it now is the merciful option, op. The kid's just gonna shake it to death or something anyway
>>2110347
Tell them that it bloated and died and then give it to an animal shelter. There might even be a shelter specifically for guinea pigs nearby.
Consider stealing it.
Whether or not you actually do, take it to your house and give it lots of love.

just fuck your scorpion, that way neither of you will be virgins.
>>2110274
Post pics, maybe we can figure out what it is so it can get laid.
Is there a such thing as scorpion pheromones? Can you trick a scorpion into mating with a fake one?
I did not expect to feel sad about a scorpion, OP. I want to help.
I want to know what you feed your cats and dogs (and other furry carnivores).
>Ferrets
I and Love and You kibble (they won't eat wet or raw)
>Cats
I and Love and You kibble at bedtime (1 cup for 3 cats), the wet food from same company (3oz can for all 3), plus ZiwiPeak canned (6oz can for all 3 in the morning)
I hear good reviews for Blue Buffalo Wilderness Weight Control, I was gonna buy it today. But I see ingredients has "caramel" as one. Caramel in cat food? In weight control...

Are you here to shill or retarded or both? None of the above is not an option.
>>2110238
They're fine I promise
Share with me your gourmet cat foods
Oh, I didn't notice it was you, I already know you're retarded. Caramel in that context is just burnt shit, not burnt milk and sugar.
My faggot cat is sometimes pissing on my bed. Is she sick or something? How do I make her stop?
She's female and 10 weeks old. Not sterilized. Any experts here? I need advice plz
kittens get confused, don't worry about it
>>2110212
So she will stop eventually?
>>2110214
if I'm right that it's just because shes a baby then yeah, but there are other reason cats pee weird places like medical problems, so if she does anything else weird you should worry
Get the fuck in here

My kitten is dying, he's not drinking, his breath is 45 breaths a minute, he doesn't want to sleep on a warm/soft surface, he is wheezing in his sleep, and is very skinny. What do I do to help him?
Please, I need help.

Humane euthanasia is the last nice thing a person can do for their pet.
Why does my cat ALWAYS have a dirty ass? Just no matter what there's shit all over his little butthole. Aren't they supposed to be cleaning themselves constantly? Even my pitbull who takes massive elephant shits has a cleaner ass than him.
>hi, I have an anal fixation.

Stools too loose, maybe? If it's a solid poop, it shouldn't leave any remnants BEHIND.
Get it? God I am fucking hilarious.
Oh, right, my bad ... Laughing and forgot to finish the thought. I am fucking hilarious, by the way.
Loose stools are a sign of a lot of things. Google it. Do your best to find the source. Could be wet food, could be a disagreeable brand of food, could be worms, could be dirty food bowls ... plug the leak.
God I am fucking hilarious.
Why are dolphins so cute, fampaichi?
One day, after many hours of stressful work, a tired businessman was walking along the pier back to his house. Looking out to the water, he saw a dolphin romping around in the sea.
Frustrated, the man walked out on the pier and said to the dolphin, "You're stupid, all you do all day is play!"
The dolphin poked his head above the water and said, "You're stupid, all you do all day is work!"
