Does it SUCK to be a herbivore especially mammalian herbivores?
>you can't digest cellulose on your own, you need a specific microbiome
>you need to spend hours fermenting and digesting plant matter
>often times the plant matter isn't nutritious enough and you have opportunistically eat meat
>if you're a hindgut fermenter, your young literally have to eat the shit of their mothers to gain the right gut microbiome
>if you're a hindgut fermenter, the large size of your body/belly isn't fat but intestines (like manatees/dugong/many monkeys)
>if you're a foregut fermenter, you have to spend most of your waking hours chewing cud then belching
>you get more nutrients from plant matter compared to hindgut fermenters but you still have to constantly regurgitate then chew and repeat
Boy am I glad that we're omnivores

what else are you going to do all day? large herbivores look chill as fuck while eating. lions always need to be near prey that they are able to hunt and also need to be in top condition every day or they're fucked
>>
>>5169034
>lions always need to be near prey that they are able to hunt and also need to be in top condition every day or they're fucked
That's how they stay intelligent and in tip-top shape
Only the strongest can mate and pass on their genes as well
Most herbivores are dumb as a rock thanks to their abundant food source (elephants notwithstanding)
>>
>>5159567
On the upside, plants don't run away. For most herbivores, it's free food. I don't think they even have the brain energy to spare thinking of how fucked over they were by nature.
>Boy am I glad that we're omnivores
Good if you're a hunter-gatherer chud or steppe nomad chad, but most of humans that lived before the green revolution had to farm:
>Clear the land of any other plant, rocks and turn over soil
>Just so you can plant a grass with overgrown seeds
>Spend most of year tending it so they don't get eaten by animals and praying that the weather doesn't destroy them before harvest
>Spends time and energy harvesting it lest it rots away in the field
>Isn't even ready yet, got to remove the seeds from the stalks and then the edible part from the husk
>Then turn the result into actual food
If anyone is winning at life, it's the slime mold.

I was fully expecting to be waiting a year or two, fortunately I reached out to this breeder at the perfect time.
Names are tricky, I've been putting together a list and none of them seem quite right. Needs some whimsy, and for some reason I'm stuck on a W theme, best pick right now is Weevil or Willow, but hard to name a dog you haven't got to know yet

I'm disappointed that there's no thread for these retarded little dudes. Sure, they die after two or three years and they are are totally unprepared for domesticated life, but as long as they have a decent sized enclosure and you give them enough enrichment (substrate to dig in, quality food including nits and seeds they get to wear their incisors down opening, and some quality exploration time out of their enclosure) they make good tiny companions. Also, you're saving them from being a toy for some foid or a small child that cannot understand their tiny world.

Hamster fondness feels like something that must be not entirely uncommon here. Of course, maybe I'm wrong and just suck cocks (entirely possible,)

i'd share ham but I can't find photos of my previous hamsters and I don't have space for a good enclosure right now.

Why do you like/dislike hamsters? You will be judged.

I liked them because they were cute and I was fascinated with their behaviour. I had two Robo hamsters, one who i loved and the other, liked but died too soon. I disliked them though because I found interaction difficult to build up. When i scared my first ham accidentally, she kept biting me and that never changed. But i still fed and engaged, just with garden gloves. I miss them both though.

I've never had Robos (or, as I like to call them, 'Rovskis) but every time I see them awake and burning off energy in the pet store my brain wants to explode from the adorkableness.

I've had around a dozen hamsters over the years, 2/3rd Syrian hamsters and 1/3rd Campbell's dwarfs (usually called "Russian dwarf hamsters" but that's not their real name.) Campbell's dwarfs are arable but kind of bitey, and they need about the same space as a Syrian hamster. They're great little critters, but you can't always really interact with them although the amount of enjoyment they get out of some deep sawdust and maybe a couple of decent tunnel networks is really rewarding.

Syrian hamsters make great little companions though. Sure, the females can be a little bit cage territorial sometimes and the males can be a bit extra derpy, but they're chill and enjoy actually hanging out. They can recognise your voice and some can even recognise their names. A good rodent, all things considered. Big fan of 'em.

Also, the weird faces they make when yawning and the way they go between treating every stimulus as the most dramatic thing ever one moment to being completely unfazed by anything is inherently likeable. Good fellas.

There are many cat-adjacent animals like ferrets, minks or even lemurs and so on that are similar on the surface: same general size, long tails, fluffy; and while they're cute in their own way we don't care about them too much, while nothing comes close to the perfection of cats. How just one species won so hard at life?
