Alaskan Malamute or Siberian Husky?
Mal all the way
They are:1 easier to train
2:less prone to breaking out of homes
3:better with people in general can be less aloof
4: bigger=better imo

Depends how big of a dog you want.
Where do you draw the line, /an/?
I don't, you can eat all of them for all I care as long as you don't start eating people their actual pets.
>>2134220
You think eating rabbit is weird?
>>2134220
Carnivore/Herbivore?
But no, it is an interesting question. I'm sure most people would give illogical answer.
I'm practically a neet and I feel like I need a pet to look after. Something cute and fun! Also can't just shit everywhere in my parents' house.
Thanks in advance!
Why are you a neet?
Get a pet rock.
>>2134137
This.
Wake up one night and see this in your kitchen. What do you do?
>>2133395
Get out my tire iron and open up VATS
Goddamn Turks.

Because being stuffed to the gills with birdseed makes it difficult to flee from the giant predator approaching you.
>>2133368
It's what I thought too you smarty smart ass but it takes 3 minutes to empty the whole thing, that's not advantageous at all.
It really looke like he's ''It's chill bro, I'll just put it back''
>>2133369
Look, all I know is I did the same thing to a snake once. I saw a snake swallowing a toad in my flower bed with just the legs sticking out. I squatted down to watch and must have triggered some response, because the snake spent the next few minutes regurgitating the entire toad and then slithered off. There's some sort of instinctive response occurring here and it's not "oh deary me, I got caught eating out of the bird feeder. I'm so embarrassed."
Shit guys, found this little crowbro by the side of the road, probably hit by a car.
Do you know of any way to fix him up or is he too far into snap city to ever squat again?
The wound seems shallow, but dat leg is fucked up.
>tfw if I save him I'll have a new crow bro to make gains along with
By the way his parents are outside watching thr house since I took him in. Two adult city crows, just standing outside on a tree and watching.
>>2131057
Get him to vet. they might be able to put him together.
>>2131057
Take him to a vet or zoo you retard.
>>2131057
vet or kill him
African Grey > Indian Ringneck > Macaws > Eclectus > Cockatiel = Conures = Quaker Parrot > Lovebird = Parrotlet > Budgie >>>> Cockatoos
Feel free to discuss this (i know some species are missing but i cant be bothered)
>>2130953
Never really looked into ringnecks much, what makes them so top tier?
>>2130961
i don't own one but my friend does and i did some research. from what ive gathered they are
>affictionate but not too needy
>good talkers usually
>quite smart
also they arent so big so theyre easier to maintain than, say, an african grey, but they arent too small either, theyre just the right size imho. Also i personally find them very cute and aesthetically pleasing. thats why i put them up there
>Was looking into getting first bird
>Was thinking either African Grey or Eclectus, but figured a Grey would be better as a first time bird since the Eclectus seem to be a bit more demanding
>Prowl Craigslist for a while, an African Grey pops up in need of a home
>Long story short get scammed out of $450
>Back to square 1, but now with a big-ass cage and toys I bought for said bird

Are you that bulgarian on /balk/?
Some kind of moggie. His fur pattern and color is mitted blue lynx point
He's been itching his ear a lot.
Is this fleas? He's an indoor cat but my second cat goes out.
This same thread probably gets posted a few times a week.

Ear mites?
Ear mites was my guess aswell
Hi /an/,
My girlfriend has two conures, a green cheek (pic related) and a sun conure.
Over the past couple of months, the green cheek has been plucking his belly feathers, and they're turning into this grey fluff (see pic).
Does anyone know what's going on, or what to do?
Here is a picture of him before he started plucking his feathers
>>2136164
rotated
feather plucking could be a sign of boredom or unhappiness, something could also be wrong take the bird to the vet to rule out any health issues, buy it some toys, get it some foraging stuff, keep it engaged and give it extra attention
Hey /an/, femanon here. I there is a spider on the wall next to my bed and i have no idea how to get rid of it. I have arachnophobia so no way i'm letting that thing get near my hand. It's not that big, but definetely bigger than your casual housespider. Help me /an/, it'l almost 1AM where i live and i really want to sleep. Pic related, it's the spider.
>>2136050
Have you tried asking it to leave nicely?
Though to be realistic house prices nowadays make it very hard for first time buyers/renters.
>>2136052
I'm seroius i'm tired as shit and that little fucker is keeping me from sleeping
it disappeared. I went ahead to answer anon and it's gone
In a couple hours we're going to put my kitty Oreo to sleep. She's about 14 years old, she has recently gone completely blind, and has also not been eating or drinking for the past few days and she has gotten weaker.
I love her so much, I'm going to stay with her through the whole procedure like how she has been by my side through the tough times in my life..
Rest In Peace, Oreo
I love you
next week, when you get a new cat, try not to give it such a shitty name. nothing anyone has ever loved that is not a cookie is named oreo.
>>2136021
That was the name she was given when we got her
>>2136021
Though your an asshole I can't disagree Oreo is a shitty name sorry OP
I have a ten year old cat. She's amazing, in great physical health, and a sweetheart.
She has always been skittish around strangers from day one. It used to be that she would go an hide when the doorbell rang, or when someone she wasn't familiar with came over, but that shit changed drastically a couple years ago.
Our neighbor rang the doorbell one day, and the cat went absolutely batshit insane. Hissing, screaming, claws out, puffed out tail, would take it out on me when I tried to pick her up, the whole nine yards. It was completely out of left field,...

So yeah, just wanted to get some thoughts on this. Anyone here experienced anything similar?
Pic related, it's her guarding me from the evil doorbell.
Then put her on anxiety meds?
>>2135983
I don't want to dope her up over the relatively rare occurrence of someone ringing the doorbell.
/adv/ wouldn't help me so I hope you guys will, Is this a spider bite? It hurts a little bit and I feel sick but i've always had bad anxiety and am really panicking now so it could be that, Any suggestions?
>>2135941
No.
>>2135946
Thank you.
>>2135941
Yes.
Hey /an/ I'm new here but I have a question.
I have a dog named bowie, who is a mutt (husky/Australian shep). I've had Bowie for about a year and he's very friendly with other dogs (training/daycare/etc). I recently moved in with one of my friends who has a dog named PJ (coonhound/blue heeler). PJ is the same way, good with other dogs, well trained, etc.
Lately we've been having issues with food. They both get super defensive over the smallest crumb and get into fights with eachother, any suggestions on how we can help them get a long?
>>2135850
bump
>>2135850
hand feed them, have them sit before every meal. separate them when you're feeding them. when you see them engaging in that sort of behaviour break it up and redirect their attention to something more positive
>>2135901
we currently do all of that besides hand feeding, they're never aggressive towards us. They're strictly defensive towards each other about food
