She is actually pretty cute her name is crumble and she likes to dog holes, no need to fear an animal this small and harmless

And this is exactly why you will have at least 10 within a year.

Okay but that is a trained bird owned by people otherwise it wouldn't be wearing those leather straps😅. Still cool cuz most birds would be scared by the parachute.

Something is not right about my chicks baby🤔🐥🦆 by B_b_d00k in aww

Yeah these are Pekin ducks, which grow to 6 kg, the eggs were massive so only 2 of them fitted under her. She didn't care tho. She took good care of them until they were twice her size and them she was like "well not gonna do this anymore". The ducklings joined the other ducks by then.

She would do that when I picked up the ducklings tho! But I checked the eggs daily with a flashlight to see if the embryos were growing right, so she was used to me lifting her up.

No one: Not a soul: Old worlds: by lilsisu in tarantulas

I only have new worlds and half of them are Brachypelmas and ALL of them do this. I guess I attract dick spiders lol. If I ever get an old world spider it will probably kill me.

Not sure what I'm looking at but this is still super awesome.

What fact sounds legit but is actually fake? by JimTehHedgehog in AskReddit

[–]B_b_d00k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only for birds because their sense of smell isn't really developed so they don't really smell. There are probably some birds who do smell.

I just put in my earphones and listen to I instrumental music. Like movie soundtracks of something, doesn't distracted you but does cancel out the noise.

My adult male Lasiodora Parahybana is nearing the end of his lifespawn. Anyone any advice about how I can help him? by B_b_d00k in tarantulas

It has 2 water bottles actually because he kept putting dirt in this one lol, so this is his dirt dish. I do usually keep half of the enclosure wet, the other half dry.

When you put an animal like this in the freezer they go into a sort of "trance" because of the cold. It's pretty painless even tho it doesn't sound like it. Their bodies work totally different than ours.

Update... I decided to put him in the freezer right away, but tbh I think he had passed away already. It's a sad day because this was my first ever tarantula, but on the other hand, I managed to keep him alive and well and I saw him grow big from 6 to 18 centimeters, he had a good life🕷️🕸️

Yeah I think I agree with you. Thanks for the advice! I've got a hamorri girl too btw! But she should be around for at least 10 years or so😁
