On my university campus there’s some mallards that live at one of the lakes. I bought some duck/geese food and fed it to them once and they loved it! My question is, how often can I feed them without making them reliant or ruining their desire to forage themselves?

you removed my post about my favorite animal being the black backed jackal! what is wrong with you?! I was also asking what everyone else's favorite animals are, and you removed my post like it was nothing! I am so done with you, you are the worst moderators I've ever seen in my life, like removing a post about a favorite animal is a terrible thing a moderator can do to a guy. Djcenturion and ladypruna, if you are reading this, I strongly advice you NOT to remove posts about favorite animals

In the wild there are animals who naturally have access to fermented fruits and rudimentary forms of alcohol. So my question is do rehabers/sanctuaries provide those things to animals as a part of their natural diet? I’d assume not but honestly I don’t know

When i say pee’s the most i mean the most times in one day. I understand that the whale pee’s the MOST but which animal pee’s the most amount of times in a day. for example humans pee 3/4 times a day etc…

probably will like never get one but I know damn well I want one. they’re such little shits I love them.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but this past week I have discovered in total five dead shrew moles and a dead bird in my yard. Two of the shrews and the bird were attacked by something because they had injuries and blood on them, and the other three shrews had no injuries. At first I suspected that it were the stray cats' doing. I've heard stories about cats killing small animals for fun, although I don't know much about them because I've never had a cat myself.

But just today, I checked my outdoor camera and it captured a pack of three raccoons coming into my yard in the middle of the night and a couple hours later it captured a cat as well. Now, I'm not sure who's the real culprit. The thing is that the stray cats have been in my neighborhood for more than a year now, and dead animals have never been an issue before until recently. If it really were the cats' doing, why would they suddenly start bringing them into my yard? Also, the camera showed that the pack of raccoons were showing up around the same time for two days straight now, but why would they leave their food source behind?

I'm slightly irritated that this has been happening because the dead animals are attracting a lot of wasps/yellow jackets and feeding on them. I have a dog and just want to let her out into the yard without having to worry about dead animals and wasps. Does anyone have any advice? Thank you.

This is just a silly question. So there are nurse sharks, carpenter ants, etc. I’m wondering if there is a doctor animal out there? Like a doctor whale or doctor bird or something like that

I have had epilepsy my whole life and thinking about it I realize my older cat have been training my younger one.

My episodes can get really bad to which I spasm uncontrollably and depending on how much I can function brain wise my oldest cat would either bite my fingers or sit on me. It worked 85%! Now my youngest cat is meowing loudly and won't stop getting in my face till I stop seizing.

I love them so much

She made this agonizing decision because her dog’s epilepsy has only gotten worse over the last four years. He had 13 seizures just last weekend. She has spent thousands of dollars on vet appointments and meds, but the meds haven’t helped. Even her vet, at her last visit 6 days ago agreed that his quality of life is poor, and she actually offered to euthanize the dog right then and there. And then there’s my daughter’s quality of life to also consider. But my daughter wanted some time to think about it, and is spending this week giving him treats and doing all his favorite activities. I said goodbye to the dogger on Sunday.

Having said all that, I can’t stop crying. Any kind words of support would be deeply appreciated. Thank you.
