Configurable 15-30 minute pulsing, a sensor to make it sporadically pulse additionally when it detects an object (the animal) nearby, and a rechargeable battery or a plug.
There. Fixed the concept. Allowing it to be plugged in via USB to set a custom noise instead of the cricket chirp would also be cool. You don't need the noise. For the love of god, Exo Terra, why did you make the dish chirp?

Was trying to figure out how to illuminate this terrarium for night-time viewing since the critter is nocturnal. Realized I had a smart bulb I bought for $3 that can dim to 1% output at any color. Hoping it works.

They're going to find out that she was probably flying drunk and jumped out of the plane into the ocean or something. I wouldn't be surprised if it was sharks that got her they're known for going after dead humans. They should stop wasting their time on islands and check the sea floor for clues.

Nobody cares about rats.

In fact, there is almost no issue more bipartisan than not caring in the slightest about the welfare of rats. Almost no belief is more widely shared by the American public than not giving a rat’s ass about…well…a rat’s ass. There are many times more people who think the earth is 6,000 years old than people who care the slightest bit about the welfare of rats.

Rats are about as smart as cats. It’s undeniable that they feel pain; one way we know this is that they have the same brain regions that activate in humans when humans feel pain. Another is that when you try to inflict pain on them, they thrash around horribly—trying desperately to get away. It is obvious when a dog is in pain. It is likewise obvious when a rat is in pain for precisely the same reasons, in exactly the same ways.

They solve mazes and do puzzles. They play and can imagine far-off locations; https://www.psychiatrist.com/news/new-study-shows-rats-possess-power-of-imagination-similar-to-humans/ they display meta-cognition, https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982221011179 being able to think about their thoughts. They feel more empathy https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39298607/ for one another than we do for them. They engage in self-sacrifice https://www.phillymag.com/news/2011/12/14/rats-compassionate/ for the sake of their friends. On some cognitive tests, they outscore humans. https://hbr.org/2015/01/rats-can-be-smarter-than-people

At least with a dog or cat you've got a pretty solid 15-20 years between them assuming accident and injury doesn't happen

It's about being nice vs being good. Feeding wild animals is being nice. Adopting hurt animals while they heal is being good.
"Nice" is petty and selfish. "Good" is actually good.

The joke relies on anthropomorphism. The horse is expressing deep resentment that despite thousands of years of backbreaking labor and dying in human wars, humans decided to award the title of "best friend" to the dog—an animal the poster views as a "genetically degraded" version of a wolf that didn't do any of the historical heavy lifting.
