Can rats really bond with you? I've been heavily considering buying some pet rats recently. I've heard a lot of people say that rats can bond with their human owners but I wanna settle this, can they?

I hate lions. Overrated motherfuckers don’t deserve their reputation as King of the Beasts or King of the Jungle. They get mogged by so many herbivorous animals and even the lesser carnivores give them tons of shit. END THE LION HYPE.

The method described here >>4782061 works best, has no weird touching, zero risk of physical harm, and requires zero materials. Everyone scratches their cat at the base of their tail. It's nearly the exact same thing.

There's vids on YT of it as well.

Why does this little crab cause so much destruction in the coasts of America, SA, and Australia? The native crabs are way bigger, they should be able to just eat it.

>I actually do have an Anthurium

Can you show? Anthuriums are the best, I didn't expect to love such a plant

For their substrate I use coconut fiber, sphagnum moss, pine bark chips, vermiculite, perlite, organic soil, compost and vermicompost and eggshell powder

Then I fertilize it every weeks or so with coffee grounds, eggshells aloe vera and potato peels mix everything with water in a blender

I might be ill, just had one for 5 months, its grown pretty good and I got 3 more recently

I don't actually know anything about pests but perhaps garlic juice will clean it
>>
>>4783222
If the plant wasn't currently really fucked up, I would post it. It was a plant that I got my mom, but she has a bit of a neglect streak with her plants because in her mind she can just go buy a new one. So she just stopped watering it(spidermites love it dry) so spidermites infested it. I had to cut the flowers and a few leaves off that were basically turned into nests, and due to all the dust that accumulated on it, I gently wiped it down with some water to try and clean it up a bit.
What I was unaware of was just how much chlorine was in the tap water(I assume this was the cause, because I genuinely don't know) which caused large portions of all its big leaves to turn brown. Said leaves are still alive, even though its like half of the leaf which surprises me, but it has a new flower coming up and is putting out new leaves.
The plant honestly looks horrible, but spidermites are total bastards.The plant is in exile along with a bonsai that ended up catching them too for being in proximity. Both of them a product of just being neglected.
It frustrates me because I got into plants as a hobby, and now the majority of my collection are plants that I've had to take over and nurse back to health which is sucking the enjoyment out of it.
>>
>>4783245
If you manage to get them back to full health it really pays off

Your anthurium doesn't get direct sunlight right? I let mine get like 30 minutes of sunlight at around 4pm

Idk get garlic and use a blender then just spray all over the infestation see how it goes
>>
>>4783261
Its always sat in a window that gets morning sun, but I live in Canada so direct sun doesn't hit that hard. I don't think its an issue with light because it was doing great before she stopped watering it and it was always in that spot. If it didn't have spidermites, I would bring it down to where I keep my collection where it would be under a growlight.

This, basically.
Keep its claws and teeth from your neck, and you will probably survive the encounter. If you are a decently fit adult male, you can likely overpower it, or at least compete with it athletically, enough to be too much of a nuisance for it to want to continue the fight.

As always, keep a good knife with you at all times while in the woods, and you can kill or drive off 99% of what might attack you. Ideally, a fixed blade knife with finger holds to prevent it being knocked from your grip.

six foot seven foot eight foot bunch!

Dogs are pack animals and ultimately it’s down to the owner to ensure they know their place. Whatever the owner considers acceptable, the dog thinks is ok for pretty much anyone. I utterly despise having dogs jumping up at me and trying to lick me the second I appear. I know a few dogs who are extremely well behaved and cause minimal disruption, the problem is too many owners are totally ok with being treated as though they themselves are another dog. Unfortunately the dogs don’t understand the difference so the rest of us have to put up with the disorderly behaviour. And 9 times out of 10 they’ll get mad and complain that it’s just what dogs do if you dare to say anything or show any visible signs of being uncomfortable about it. Aside from being jumped up at/licking I’ve also had dogs trying to stuff their noses up my back side like really…

No doubt this post is going to bring out the crazies but I’ve no doubt there are others out there who feel similar
