Have you tried giving it water? That plant is dry as fuck. This is a wetland plant. It should be half submerged. Use distilled or RO water. But yeah this one looks like it's toast.

it might be too dead to save. these plants need to be constantly water-logged and kept outside in full sun to eat insects (or manually fed insects weekly/as needed to maintain nutrients). they will also die in weather under 80°

>in a country with over 300 million people that's fucking nothing
You're arguing with an inveterate dogfucker that has been seething about cats in any thread it can for several years now. They also don't live in the Western Hemisphere and so have no idea of the scale of the numbers it gets from ChatGPT. Toxo is a big problem in their country so they think it's like that in every country. It's best not to engage with them.
>>
>>5110812
Silence, cattedditor. You will cry that toxo isnt a big deal in one thread and cry that subcanine pitbulls are a big deal in another.
Toxo is a massive problem in the first world. And pointless. There is absolutely no reason for any cat to be outdoors ever. It is a pointless and inexcusable disease that kills 20x more people than pitbulls minimum and is responsible for god knows how many…
Miscarriages
Schizophrenia cases
Car crashes
People with anger management issues

All because some lazy idiots dont want to admit cats are useless animals, there is no honor or face to be saved by pretending they do something, and funniest of all, they aren’t clean at all - they’re 10x filthier than a dog given the bare minimum of care which is why you losers leave them outside.

It's temporary until it learns not to piss and shit in the house. In the case of my dog, I actually had a harder time getting him to stay out of the crate rather than the other way around, they surprisingly enjoy the security.

I love 'em. I have a few passionvines growing in my yard. They are very prolific, a couple of them have spread underground a distance of 20 feet under concrete. I get a lot of flowers which is awesome but very few fruits. Any idea what I can do to improve my fruit yield? Or is the ornamental variety different from the fruit-bearing one?

Pic unrelated.

White Owls on the Ice

On the vast frozen plain,
where silence cuts through the air,
eyes emerge that tear through the shadows,
gazes that pierce the night.

Their feathers, winter flakes,
blend with the still snow,
but their burning pupils
keep watch like embers in the twilight.

They stalk, motionless, eternal,
guardians of the polar mystery,
and in their brief, stealthy flight,

whats the difference between training and brainwashing?
5 replies and 2 images omitted. Click here to view.
>>
Brainwashing involves harm and loss of identity/self. Unless you're running some old school experiments on animals before ethical concerns, something like Harry Harlow, or you have someone locked in your basement/ being fed small quantities of drugs you're not brainwashing them.

Training is just repeatedly teaching desired boundaries, behaviors, or so on. And pets will train you in the same way you train them. Cat purring? The human learns to respond to the stimulus with treats or petting. Dog standing by the door and whimpering? The human learns to put on some shoes and get the leash.

Cages can be built up, I think anon can get there but 1 hide & 1 hammock are needed ASAP
Your setup sounds great but there's no predicting what they'll want. Each paycheck or 2 get a new item like a hammock, leave it in the free roam area for then to discover and swap out what they like. Vary materials as well I think some rats prefer the feel of plastic over wood
Finally check out the rat general, it can consolidate rodent advice better >>5054258. Well I try

Do you guys prefer okame, yoshino, or kwanzan blooms?

Yoshino are the most iconic, okame bloom earlier, and kwanzan bloom later. I prefer the kwanzan and okame over the yoshinos due to their brighter pink color.

>>5109108
Akebono, although the Kwanzan nice as well. A lot of the trees around the tidal basin here in DC are pink, so I'll be happy to see them in bloom in a few weeks.
