My hamster passed

Hello,

I woke up to my hamster dead. Since I don't have much for spending right now, I took time to retrieve a bunch of magnesium from a kit I had and tested the temperature. My laser thermometer gave a reading of 5,000°F since that was the thermometer's max and I am not sure how hot magnesium actually gets. Is at least 5,000 degrees F hot enough to creamate?

I'm befuddled right now.....

Thanks,

Andy

Academy officials said the success of the surgery is a bright spot in the otherwise alarming trajectory of this endangered species. The academy is part of a network of Associations of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) institutions caring for penguins to help bolster the population.

How would I go about doing this?

(Please don't make fun of me for this)

For a while now, I've always wondered what a fox's tail feels like. In media, people say that they're very soft. Eventually, I had the grand idea that I wanted to try napping on a Fox's tail. I want the back of my head to feel it similar to how one sleeps on a pillow. Problem is, most foxes are... wild. Sooo. Very bad idea. And I don't wanna stuffed one, because.

  1. That's messed up.
  2. Whatever they stuffed into them would ruin the feeling of the fluffy tail.

So how would I go about making my dream a reality. Yes, it's a very stupid unrealistic dream i know. But hypothetically. how would I do it?

Send help!

We have 2 female cats inside our shop. If they have an exit to go outside 24/7, they still spray.. we don’t want to get rid of them because of how bad the mice get in the winter but I’m willing to try something out if there’s any chance someone has good ideas of what we could do.?!

Search and rescue for animals?

Hey guys, Im a dog owner and I've been noticing how many people seem to just post their missing dogs on facebook or next-door. I was wondering if most search and rescue teams had a sophisticated system to find dogs.

How can i help the poor thing?

For a couple of months now i hear horrible dog shrieks and cries at night. I want to help him. The problem is, i do t know the specofic location of where the dog is. I live in an apartment building, and around me there are 5-6 more. I was advised to go out to the street when the screaming starts and try to locate the apartment where the abuse happens that way. It is difficult for two reasons - the first of them is, that usually the sounds stop after merely minutes, which is too little time for me to get to the street. The second is, i live in a bad neighborhood, and as a woman it is scary to go out at night. Not only that, if i go out and something bad would happen to me the dog will not be helped. Calling authorities is a problem mainly because the location issue. If i do t know where it happens, the animal control wont know at what door to knock. And if i still call, most likely the dog would stop crying way, way before the animal control arrives. What sohuld i do???

Ran with a bird today!

So I wanted to share this story because I thought it was really cool and it at least shocked me. So today I was walking along a trail out throwing rocks and doing usual outside activities. Out in the distance I spotted a hawk flying around I think he was just checking me out maybe I was in his territory or something but nonetheless I got bored and waved the bird over to come walk with me then I started running. At first the hawk didn't follow but I stopped turned around and the hawk actually started to fly with me! I started to smile at the bird and ran faster and it kept up and even started flying lower! At the end of the run I got tired only about like 500 yards or so but I started walking back and waved the bird goodbye and it understood it flew higher up and went back to where it was circling before. other than with a dog or cat or something I've never had this kinda chill reaction and friendly encounter with an animal like this before and tbh I thought birds were a little dumber. But I've changed my mind about this and I think I'll keep going back to run with the bird and maybe leave it some bird food like dead bugs or something.

My two dogs have started sneezing all the time. Is this cause for concern?

I have 2 blue heelers that are 3yo and in great health. About 6 days ago one of them started sneezing occasionally, and 2 days later the other one started. Nothing in the environment has changed for them. They have never had allergies. They are otherwise fine.. still going on runs and eating/drinking/happy. But they are sneezing A LOT.. like when they are awake its probably every 20-30 seconds.. but when they are asleep they don't sneeze at all.

Do you think this is something I need to take to the vet over or not? Any ideas what it could be?

Thank you!
