What does a tarantula (hairy spider) eat?
Tarantulas mainly eat insects like ants, moths, spiders, and mosquitoes, catching them with sticky webs. They stab prey with the tail venom spine, then chew and swallow with chelicerae. Digestion is slow, so they stop hunting once enough prey is stored.
This morning my cat vomited clear sticky fluid like saliva dripping from its mouth, threw up kibble once, later drank a little water and slept, then at 1pm vomited clear fluid still dripping-what’s wrong?
White mucus or saliva vomit usually comes from bitter substances, long hunger, poisoning, stress, hairballs, or severe pain. If saliva flows after vomiting, it may have licked something irritating (mosquito liquid, medicine, insects, chili); rinse the mouth with warm salt water and watch. Empty-stomach foaming means hunger; fast 4-6 hours then feed bland food and probiotics; see a vet if it recurs.
What does it mean when a cat has many pimple-like bumps on its head?
A pimple on a cat's head may be a bacterial or other skin-infection abscess, or a bump from a mosquito bite the cat scratched open. Since the cat often scratches it open, first put on an Elizabethan collar to prevent further damage and infection, then disinfect with iodine and use a pet antibacterial ointment such as zinc oxide ointment. Clean old medicine with saline before each application and keep the wound dry; also deworm regularly.
My dog has a red bump; could it be a tick bite?
A red bump may be a tick bite, which often shows a central dark dot (the mouthparts) with redness, itch, or bleeding, and can spread blood parasites. Remove it and deworm; other causes exist too.
Tips for Raising Rabbits in Summer
Summer heat hurts rabbit growth and breeding, so prepare cooling early. Key points: ventilate and sprinkler-cool, shade the hutch, plant greenery, lower density and feed at dawn/dusk, adjust feed (more protein, less energy, fresh greens), supply ample cool water, pause breeding in heat, and prevent coccidiosis with sanitation and fly/mosquito screens.
Purple Grenadier
The Purple Grenadier (Uraeginthus ianthinogaster) is a richly colored and beautiful finch with a gentle, non-shy temperament that gets along well with people, making it an excellent pet bird. It is mainly distributed across Somalia, Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.
Philippine Tarsier
The Philippine Tarsier is one of the smallest monkeys still in existence, mainly distributed in Southeast Asia, so it is generally only seen locally. Because of its scarcity, it is an endangered species now under state protection.
Beveren Rabbit
The Beveren Rabbit is a relatively small pet rabbit breed with fairly unremarkable features, so it is not widely bred and purebreds are hard to find. Recognized by its 'V'-shaped upright ears and 1–2 inch coat, it makes a gentle companion for rabbit lovers willing to look beyond the more common breeds.
Great Tit
The Great Tit is a small to medium bird, 13-15 cm as an adult. Because it is lively and unafraid of people, and very agile, it is rarely kept in captivity.
