Hi everyone, I was cleaning up my room today, and I found some very old cards that I used to play with as a kid. This got me thinking, and I decided to get back into playing this game. Then, that got me thinking, which is why I am posting this today. Is there anybody else here who likes...

Hi everyone, I am very sad today. Today is my birthday, and I am 27 years old. However, my dog may need to be put down today. This is Buster. He is 14 years old. He is in a lot of pain, and he has a tumor or something near his rear hole, big enough that he is unable to relieve himself now...

Hi everyone, As the title suggests, I am wondering if there are any amphibian owners here. I have two Leopard Frog tadpoles that I got in the mail today. I’m trying to grow them into frogs. I’ve got instructions on how to do so, but I’m trying to figure out how to set up the tank/habitat for...

Hi everyone, I hope this is not offensive to anybody, but I am actually a turkey hunter in need of some help. You see, the wild turkey season opened today, and I was able to harvest a turkey. It’s a nice young Jake, but it’s got a lot of meat on it. I was able to pluck most of the feathers in...

So, I have a hobby of writing animal detective stories based off of true events in my life. I wanted to share the two I have so far. While you’re reading, imagine them as a black and white tv show. The case of Sophie’s death It was a regular Tuesday night in Dietrich, the kind of night where...

Hi everyone, Originally, I had a thread that I asked a moderator to lock. I did this because I was very upset about my rabbits death from an animal, and I wasn’t thinking rationally. To everyone I have potentially offended, I am very sorry. On a sidenote, I have solved the mystery of what...

WARNING: GRAPHIC POST I went out to check on my rabbit Sophie today, and I discovered this: I posted before about her dying, and made a mistake, because she was still alive. This time, there is no doubt. Something killed her last night. I’m setting up my trail camera tonight, to try and...

This post is a eulogy. In 2014, when I lived in Post Falls, Idaho, I purchased a female Netherland Dwarf / Californian mix female rabbit. I named her Sophie. Sophie lived a good life. When we moved to Nampa, Idaho, she began to live with 10 hens. She got along with them just fine. In fact, we...

Hi everyone, So, an interesting story. My father was out with customers, doing visits and stuff, when they came across a stray dog. The dog had a collar, but was very skittish and shy. It was also very thin, obviously hadn’t eaten for a few days. After 15 minutes, my father was able to show the...

I had to bring my rabbit in due to intense heat outside. I let her out of the cage to play. I also had to practice piano. This was the result. It appears Sophie likes Chopin...... Anyway, I just wanted to share this. Jared

Hi everyone, I am posting on behalf of a friend of mine today. She had 15 chickens. Yes, she “had“ them. According to her, Something has been coming and killing one chicken every night. The run is closed, and she says there’s no way a predator could get in the coop. However, something is...

Hi everyone, I am going to get straight to the point, we have a heat advisory for my area. Temps will reach around 100F. I have a rabbit outside in a run. Do you think I should bring her inside, to keep her out of the heat during this advisory? Jared

Hi everyone, I have a problem with my dog. I’m going to take him to the vet as soon as I can, but I would like some advice on what to do until I can get him to the vet. This is Buster. He’s about 11 years old. Unsure of the breed, because we rescued him from a ravine in North Idaho when he...
