“Good evening, Goodwill shoppers. (Halloween noisemaker: ooooOOOOooooo) The time is now seven fifty. The store will be closing in ten minutes. (Halloween noisemaker: ominous piano.) We ask you at this time to start bringing your final selections up to the front… or else. (Halloween noisemaker: witchy cackle.)”

How's Winnie Sanderson doing? Also any advice on hamster cages, im thinking of getting one.
She's doing good!
As for the cage: as big as you can. Minimum 100x50cm, if you can do larger go for it (Winnie's is 120x60cm). Deep bedding (unscented paper plus hay is good) so they can burrow, wheel at least 11in if it's a Syrian hamster. A sand bath is a must, big enough to allow them to roll in it.
Enrichment is also good. Hiding places, logs, chew toys, stuff to dig into (she loves her coconut fiber dig box).
I also have a spot of the cage with only hay and another with wood shavings (no cedar or pine!) for different textures and stuff. Hay is also good to scatter their food in and let them forage.
More Danny Phantom art ig? Idk. Might as well start drawing my DP x DC art at this point

That’s completely fucking awesome!
I have complicated feelings about marine mammals in captivity but (a) this seal’s tango ability deserves recognition and (b) I’m inclined to think that this level of coordination suggests the seal legitimately enjoys it.
ok, so I’m not at all an expert, but what I’ve learned from visiting various marine research centers and talking with people who work with these animals:
1) At this point in the US, all of the large marine animals like this you see cannot be released into to wild, and they come to the centers from things like injury and rescue. We do NOT just go out to the ocean and capture random animals. That is super illegal.
2) All performances like this are purely voluntary on the animal’s part. If a seal or sea lion twice the size of a person doesn’t want to do an activity with you, there is nothing you can do about it. You can encourage behaviors through positive reinforcement, but in the end the sea lion does what the sea lion wants.
3) This kind of training is actually very necessary for proper care of large, intelligent animals! The more intelligent an animal is, the more important it is to have sufficient social and mental stimulation, and training with keepers provides both. The displayed behaviors that these tricks utilize are often seen as play and/or social behaviors in the wild.
4) And perhaps most importantly, training large animals to move and position themselves in certain ways is necessary for minimizing stress during routine medical care! You can’t safely manhandle a large sea lion into showing its belly, so if you need to do a medical check without tranquillizing the animal (which carries its own risks and stresses), you need to be able to ask the animal to roll over on its own. If you watch the dance in the above post carefully, you’ll note that a lot of the different “dance moves” are effectively presenting different parts of the body. So what this performance does is take all of the stances/actions you might need it to do for a health checkup and sets it to music!

It fucken WIMDY
no one is mentioning why this is the sweetest thing in the world
That cat has a disability that makes walking really hard for him. His owner is incredibly caring for him and makes sure he’s safe and healthy, but the doggey seeing a toy for the kitty, remembering the kitty keeps falling over when getting toys, and then volunteering to bring it to the kitty so he doesn’t fall over again is just so.

This lady of the leaves is a European common toad [Bufo bufo], a species native to much of Europe. These toads are most active during the summer months. When the temperature drops in the autumn, they burrow into the leaf litter or hide under logs and stones to brumate. This toad was found in Italy by photographer Massimo Calzamiglia.
