This will be a bit of a bummer but I didn't want to make a thread just for this. But any advice is appreciated. My 14 year old has a few tumors on her belly and I just checked one of them that she seems to have licked raw. How do I stop her licking it/damaging it further until the vet opens on monday? I've just been trying to keep her distracted/pull her away from it whenever she tries to lick it but she's getting more and more antsy. >Pic related her a few moments ago after pulling her away from itAlso - the vet said we could operate but obviously with such an old dog it's always a risk. She seems still pretty ok bodily but who knows what's going on internally. Still with how bad it looks and how much it bothers her I'm not sure.
>>3515402Get a dog from a breeder for your first, id say.>purebred breeds have a general list of traits most individuals will abide by, so you have an idea what you're getting into>if you go to a really good breeder, be prepared to be put on a waiting list. This is normal, in the meantime go to some meetups with owners of your potential breed as well as beginner training sessions to get a feel. Maybe even get a certificate, breeders love that.>if you go to a good breeder then the dog is generally going to be free of genetic disease>getting a dog as a pup means no built in trauma as there may be with a shelter dog>mixed breeds are generally healthier but not necessarily; any backyard breeder could have bred two unhealthy individuals and the pups will end up unhealthy too.
>>3515845Maybe put some dressing on it or buy a cone
>>3515845if she's licking it it then it's uncomfortable or painful. have you got her on any painkillers? all you can do to stop her worrying at it for now is putting a shirt or a cone on her. she's really cute.
>>3515848>>3515850Thanks for the help. I managed to get a hold of a vet through my mom. Apparently the best thing I can do is put a bandage on her and wait for monday. She is sleeping now. Maybe she got tired of licking the bandages or maybe it actually brought some relieve. Either way I'm glad she's calmer now.
Okey, so my bird got feathers pic related. I do not know what is wrong with her. She has a mirror and good food. I think she may be depressed. I play loud music sometimes and she does not like it because she shouts at me.
>>3515849She's shedding bro. Nothing to worry about
those are pin feathers, she's growing new feathers. she'll rub her head on stuff to break them soon and look very fluffy again. if she trusts you to groom her you can very carefully pinch the tips of the big ones between your nails to start the casing on them breaking and help her out, but leave the smaller ones alone, they're not done growing yet.
>>3515849cook it
>>3515854But they are there all the time. Nothing hasn't changed in years and she hates me. Tries to peck at me everytime I get close to her. She's a ripe cunt. But I don't want to kill her. I think she is depressed sometimes because she is lacking a mate. And I am not getting one because there is too much shit to clean up. I think of getting a cat instead. Fuck birds
>>3515874then she's bad at grooming i guess and needs a friend. bird mess is easy to clean up. if she's alone, are you giving her all the socialisation she would normally be getting from another bird? like, full time company? if this is how you feel about her you probably should give her to someone who can look after her properly and get a cat.
Is it true what they say about pet rat owners?
>>3514821Who are they and what do they say?
>>3514821poor rat who is living in that thing
>>3514821That people who put rats in there fucking suck?
Wtf i never knew these things existed. They are awsome and scary at the same time.
Let's have a cute elephant thread.
>>3509804by cherishing and loving them
>>3498154pretty sure you don't need to white knight an elephant - they have the sufficient facilities to deal with an overly aggressive handler
>>3513213Animals > thotsYoull understand one day kid
>>3515512There is this thing about baby asian elephants when they are trained to help with work. they are first tied to a rope, attached to a stake in a yard, they will pull and pull on the rope, to attempt to escape, but the rope won't break. Up until the baby elephant give up. When they grow up and get attached again to stay put, they won't try again, despite having the strength to do so, because they still believe they won't be able to break it.
>reject modernity>embrace tradition
>>3515590it's more like nostrils on the top of your head
>>3515590They're just nostrils. They were already positioned facing upward, the next step is sliding them down the top of the head.

I don't know how the fuck it got there. My cat wants to kill it. I don't like bugs. How do I move it to my small garden? What do I do with it?
>>3515864Coax it onto your hand , take it near plant, coax it onto plant.
>>3515871I am not touching this green nigga. Can I use gloves or something
>>3515872Yes, be gentle tho
>>3515873I left her in the garden. She was kinda cute. My neighbour's comes sometimes to my garden. Good fucking luck surviving.

I’m extremely fascinated by animals’ mating behaviours and dances, especially among birds. Frigate birds, blue-footed boobies, doves, peacocks... you name it. Why do they do this? Why do humans not have this? Share your favourite mating behaviours here!
>>3515084i'd like to posit that we do in fact do something very similarmany cultures attract females though an elaborate costume/dance, as in the masai adamu dance where they all dress in bright colours and then attract attention by jumping as high as possible. and in the western world we have clubs, people go and find a mate by dressing attractively and dancing. chimps and gorillas probably look on that stuff like it's as bizarre as the bird of paradise dances and songs.

I really like the peacock jumping spiders which have elaborate dances and abdomens. They also vibrate as a way to "sing" to their mate.Spiders in general have really bizarre and complex mating behaviors. Usually the males have to work hard to prove to the female that he isn't lunch, and in fact is here for sexy time. Certain tarantula females actually cannot identify mates, so the males have developed an extra digit on their front legs to hold her back, while they sneakily deposit a sperm pouch, and then make their escape.Some male spiders will deliberately let themselves be eaten to give their young a better chance of survival.Really fascinating.
>>3515084>sexual selection don’t see how dancing shows you’re ideal to survive and prosperi get the growth of feathers and shit those require excess energy showing you eat well
>>3515870jumping spiders are amazing so curious and playful plus they jolt around like on some crack cocaine

>>3515487Personally, I’ve always followed the same rule - use the same amount of food as your future inhabitants are going to consume on a daily basis.As if you already have all the fish, shrimps and snails - this way you will have the needed number of bacteria when the cycle is finished.Worked for me every time.
>>3508422Lol i googled that website and apparently redditors were seething at it for being unsourced contrarian crap. Sounds like kino.
>>3515757Dwarf hairgrass will have an easier time growing and spreading in a finer substrate.
I think I fucked up. I used a fine aquarium sand for a shrimp tank and now I noticed some of my shrimp have dark black stuff inside their bodies. One died the next day. Did they eat this shit?
