How big is the tank? Do you have a filter?
How big of a water change? Water parameters?

Bobcat hunters are the second most edgiest and stupidest after coyote hunters. Why don't you just hunt domestic house cats, it's about as bad-ass and cool but a million times better for the environment.

Hol' up, hol' up:

http://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-cuttlefish-and-vs-squid/

>What is the difference between Cuttlefish and Squid?

>Cuttlefish are a group of animals of the Class: Cephalapoda, while squids are a type of cuttlefish.

This is utter BS right?

I was under the impression squids and cuttlefish (also octopuses and nautiloids) are all separate groups within the Cephalopoda class.

Anyway, is anyone here into cephs in general, le tentacle rape and cthulhu XD maymays aside? Is there a go-to book on the subject, something in the vein of The Book of Sharks by Richard Ellis?

Thanks for any help!

Yeah, they're just different orders of animals.

I don't really have any great information aside from directing you to tonmo, but you've probably already bumped into that.
>>
>>2034227
The class Cephalopoda has three/four subclasses (depending the taxonomist) and only two of them remain in the Holocene which are the Nautiloids and Coleoids.
And since every non-shelled cephalopod is in the second one saying that a squid is a type of cuttlefish is like stating that a horse is a type of monkey.

I have 2 indoor cats, living in a huge apartment.

So recently I found pictures like this, of these large boxes of grass. I was considering making a sort of area for the cat with this kind of grass, because they are both very fond of grass, but the small pots of grass seem to die too quickly, because the cats straight up pull the grass and seeds out of the soil, no matter how long I let it grow before introducing it to them.

Where do I get something like this, or if I have to make it myself, what type of grass would be best suited for it?

Since you claim to have a huge apartment, get pic related and grow "grass" in it.

>>2033400
I don't live in the states, so I don't have access to wallmart. The size also seems wonky, too tall, and actually a bit on the small side, considering I was hoping to plant more than just grass - a few flowers that cats can actually eat without causing health issues.

"I like belly rubs and I also love you and trust you so much that I am perfectly fine with exposing the easiest place to get to my organs and kill me"

Originally she came from an illegal cat breeding operation, she was found in a microwave. I've fostered her since 5 weeks old and adopted her because she's so different/perfect. My roomate spca employee insists because of her crazy behavior when given shots she would not have been deemed safe enough for adoption. Which id believe because She's super sweet but a nutcase. She's extremely vocal and a huge daddys girl. She's afraid of non residents big time.

Anyway she's 9 months old and 10 lbs already. Based on research i feel like she matches the description of a bengal cat generation.

TL;DR is my cat a bengal cat? Or have bengal in her?

Never owned a dog,
Dog sitting 2 dogs.
I don't know if the Labrador is trained or not.
If I am not playing tug of war with it or petting it, it whines/moans/barks.
I've tired it out to the point of it can barely hold onto it's toy and if I even look away from it, it starts whining, barking, and nudging at it's toy. Try playing with it again, and the toy just lays in it's mouth.
Ignoring it for 30+ minutes just consisted of barking/moaning. Telling it 'No' in a stern voice just results in barking/moaning.
What am I doing wrong?

You should always win tug of war, so it respects you as superior.
>>
Get a bully stick and relax for maybe an hour or so.
>>
>ignore any whining/barking/nudging of toys, it could take a couple of hours before they stop the first few times, but dogs eventually get tired
>only initiate play when dog is quiet
>eventually dog learns that being quiet means you'll start to play with it and being annoying means nothing will happen ever

By giving in after half an hour or reprimanding him, you are rewarding his efforts with attention, and teaching him that if he whines for 30 minutes he'll eventually illicit a response.

I would start small (being quiet for say, a couple of seconds) and reward with some play, and slowly build quiet duration until the dog comes up and is quiet at you until you initiate play instead of being annoying.

This is if you care to train them.
If you just want them out of your hair, do what anon suggests and get them bully sticks, or other long term chews.

I got a turtle yesterday as a gift, and I love him. I had a turtle for several years when I was younger, but that was so long ago, I'm a little rusty on knowing how to help him adjust to the move. I got him last night, he came with his tabk, but it was rearranged. He had a rock to climb onto, so I added another just so he'd have plenty of space out of the water. He also has a heat lamp, turtle pellets and small dried shrimp. But since we've gotten him, he hasn't eaten and won't come out of the water. Should I be worried? Me last turtle would climb onto his rocks or driftwood very often, so just wondering if this new turtle is just stressed from the move. Help! Any advice?

they often don't eat for 1-2 weeks when they've been rehoused.

you'll need a UVB/UVA light.

that aquarium is WAY too small.

it doesn't look like it's able to get completely dry.

it'll need a deeper layer of water.

you'll need a filter that can handle 2x the amount of water that's actually in the tub.

and I don't know what species that is, but you'll probably need to supplement it with vegetables and leafy greens, and sprinkle it's food with calcium (without D3)
