nopet fag here
heard shibas are terrible for a newfag at pet raising, is this true?
>>2161561
I had a shiba before
It got stolen
But they're a fun and stubborn breed
Theyre fun for playing but stubborn for taking them on walks or making them be obedient

So should I expect to have a poorly educated kindergarden kid as a companion for 10+ years?
Hey /an/, I have five kittens that I need to get rid of.
How do I find homes for them? None of my friends want one and I don't want to take them to a kill shelter or hand them over to strangers.
>>2161528
>or hand them over to strangers.
then who DO you want to give them to? Just throw an ad up on Craigslist for free kittens and hand them off
>>2161532
People who won't use them as dog food or sell them to labs?
>>2161533
good luck determining who those people are
you can try selling them for more than a lab will pay for them. Go to price is $50 but goodluck selling paperless, unvetted kittens
Chances are you'll be holding onto the kittens for weeks/months
Are corgis meme animals?
Yes. Retarded short legs. Only retarded people get them

I have a strange incident that keeps occurring, not really a problem but I'm finding it hard to believe.

It could be a male bee. During certain times of the year the females of the hive kick the males out because males do not collect pollen and thus do not contribute to the hive.
Their sole function is to produce sperm to impregnate queens. Once that has been accomplished they either leave the hive and freeze/starve to death, or stay and be stung to death.

Geez, and I thought guys paying alimony had it rough. Is there any sure way to tell if it's male?
Post the lives you've saved, guys. I'll start!
This is Ripley, she's seven years old and spayed. She's a pretty sweet little girl but she's still adjusting. I adopted her on Friday and tbqh I'm in love with her.

how do i tell the difference between a golden pupper vs a lab pupper. mine is 4 months old and as he grew i started to question whether or not he's actually a golden retriever. the guy who sold me this dog said he is golden, but he hasn't given me any pedigree creditentials from the parents since then and he sold it to me sick, claiming that he was in good health.
now he's a healthy young dog but his fur hasn't grown a lot, but his fur on the back and on the legs did get a bit more darker yellowish as opposed to the rest of his fur which is still almost...

But a picture of said pupper would help too
So, the nictitating membrane is showing in my cat's eyes, when he opens his eyes all the way thr membrane leaves, but he hardly does that and his eyes are normally closed. He also has crusty discharge that builds in the corners of his eyes.
I'm going to keep an eye on it for a week and clean the discharge with wet cotten balls, and if it doesn't clear up I plan to take him to the vet, but I wanted to know what /an/'s opinion on this was. I know it has to be irritating him, but if it's something that will clear up rather quickly on its own, I'd...

never heard of this happening, probably some genetic condition, could be allergy related?
>>2161186
This is the first that he has had the discharge, I thought the eyelids were just a genetic thing but now I'm worried since I decided to look it up online.
>>2161195
yeah, it's not a genetic thing.
we get a lot of children posting here that can't even google a thing before giving their expert opinion.
but it's also a pretty common and generic symptom, could be a lot of different things. If it were my cat I'd probably just let it be for a while unless it gets worse or doesn't show any signs of getting better.
then it's time for a vet. but most likely this is just an infection.
So, I got a juvenile betta fish a few weeks ago, and I have two adults already. The cup I got it in said it was a boy, so I assumed it was. However, my two adult male betta fish have blown bubble nests, while this one has not. Instead, my juvenile has to long black stripes. I'm sure it's not anxious, as it shows no other signs of that. I think it might be a girl, and those are breeding stripes. It would correlat with the bubble nests, and I've heard stories of petco mislabling the betta fish before. What do you guys think? Pic is fish, sorry for the quality.
>>2161135
Bump of not wanting to assume
>>2161135
Definitely looks female to me.
>>2161135
generally speaking, it's females that develop stripes and that LOOKS like a female BUT the stripes being displayed there are 'stress stripes' bot breeding stripes. Stress is horizontal, breeding is vertical. Males can show stress stripes if they're light enough. Also both males and females blow bubblenests, males are just a lot more likely to do it
look at your juvies underside. If you see a white spot, you've got a girl. Look up 'egg spot'
Does /an/ have any /an/ related jobs? pic unrelated, I just had a nightmare that my Betta ate an expensive freshwater Stingray.
Nope, but I do see lots of animals in some unlikely places when I do work.
>>2161152
Where do you work?
>>2161163
The railroad. I'll see a good amount of alligators, silly little shore birds that lay their eggs in the ballast and then try to draw you away from them when you get too close, HUGE deer, plenty of possums, rabbits, and even a few coyotes.
Can anyone here identify this snake? Found in south eastern US.
>>2161091
It looks like a baby water moc
Banded Water Snake
>>2161093
that's what they WANT you to think. and by you I mean raccoons and other stupid animals that eat garbage
Looks like a banded water snake. Mocs have a different head shape even when juvenile
Do you know if cows like fruits and vegetables or if it's good for them, if so which ones.
Any study or personal experience about this would be appreciated.
Cow thread i guess?
>>2161076
I meant to say calves, i pretty much know that the older cows eat fruits and vegetables
No clue but my uncle feeds his cattle apples he gets from orchids and brewery that is not suitable for sale.
He gets a ton of veggies that not suitable for supermarkets.
All this shit is sold cheaply, the vegetables tend to be a in weird shape or look weird but are fine.
It is just people would not buy them.
I don't know if it is good or bad for them but the are beef cattle.
>>2161153
>All this shit is sold cheaply, the vegetables tend to be a in weird shape or look weird but are fine.
Yeah, I've seen articles on this. Apples that aren't shiny enough or something comes up too.
Really, it's supermarkets trying to be picky and not have to buy too much produce so they say they only pick the best because that's what their customers demand.

Hey /an/ I'm wondering if you can help me out I keep buying 60 watt Neodymium UVB bulbs for my bearded dragon. Obviously they're really expensive and I'm getting pretty annoyed because they blow out really fast. For reference I just went through my third one since I moved into my new apartment in November and I haven't changed any other light bulbs in the whole place. I have bought different brands so I'm sure I'm not just buying shitty bulbs. Am I supposed to be going through bulbs this fast? I switch them off at night. Usually they blow when I...

Probably using 60w in a 100w socket. Go to a hardware store and ask for a 60 watt light socket.
>>2161036
Makes sense but the nighttime bulbs I use are the same wattage and I put them into the same lamp, and I've gone through two in the past year
>>2161035
Switch to a regular fluorescent tube uvb bulb. Use a ceramic heat emitter for you basking spot.
I was walking my dog in the woods when I stepped on something round and gelatinous. Thinking it was a puffball, I broke it open, and the thing on the left came out. Does anyone know what the fuck I just stepped on? Am I witnessing an alien invasion?
It's a fungus. maybe a morel. Keep an eye out.
>>2161014
It's not a morel. They don't grow where I live and the thing that came out is like a hollow ball made of plastic netting, not a solid fungus.
>>2161001
Where are you from? Helps identification.
