Welcome! There is definitely a lot of great info here.
I wouldn’t do this. The chicks will pick at the styrofoam and eat it which is not good. A large plastic bin with a screen cover or a large dog crate would both work really well.
I thought other male characteristics don’t start to become obvious until they are a bit older? Either way I am feeling a lot better as of now. I will still update with a new picture in 5-6 hours when I get back home.
Please tell me I am wrong. I have been on vacation for the past 5 days and in that time it looks like Goldie, our buff Orpington who is so nice and absolutely hilarious, has developed into a rooster. I really thought that we were in the clear as they are 10 weeks tomorrow (9 weeks old the last...
He is a Texas rat snake with the scaleless morph. It results in a a big reduction of the amount of scales giving they have giving them a weird look. But he is so cool to hold as his skin feels like velvet!
Use 2 sticks and pick it up. Once it realizes it isn’t in danger (usually takes around 30 seconds to 2 minutes) it will calm down and you can put it into a container with a lid or a pillowcase that you zip tie shut.
The big issue with relocating snakes is that people dump them into the woods with no consideration for where the nearest water source is. If it is relocated close to one, it greatly increases its survival chances.
And what do you consider a quick death? The only humane way to euthanize a snake...
He has been by far the easiest dog our family has ever had. Super easy to train and everything. He had a single accident and that was it. He isn’t very bright but he is great. He is also extremely healthy. I think it helps that he comes from a smaller and leaner linage as he is only 160 pounds...
as someone who isn’t a fan of small dogs and really hates CKC spaniels, I am going to say go with an English mastiff. How can you say no to that face?Obviously I am joking but if I had to pick, I would choose one of the mini shepherds
And I am over here stealing plants from a lake 😅
(Don’t worry, it is duckweed which is a floating plant that is extremely invasive, but is great for aquariums)
A dog would also rather have access a massive 50 acre field with other dogs to play with any time it wants to. But not everyone is able to provide that so daily walks are used to make up for the lack of a large area to run around in. All situations are different and what works for you might not...
