    Yea @Gayeir, where the Halloween costumes at?

    I live in the UK and do not have this thing called Walmart. Also, it was in the house before I moved in, so I claim no responsibility for it. I have to clean it though, which makes me want to smash it into pieces.

    Ourania... smash?

    Asda is part of the Walmart family... how disfunctional a family is that?!

    I want a pet hedgehog. Does he enjoy sitting on laps/being handled?

    She, and yes, we've had her since she was a baby and she's very well handled, according to the vet. One of the friendliest and tamest they've seen.

    They're nocturnal, absolutely must have somewhere to run (a wheel), and poo pretty much constantly while running (and run over it so gg washing sticky feet every day). Ours learned to go behind her wheel if she needed to go after eating (they eat protein-rich food, most cat food is fine. Mealworms for treats. Some apparently like apricots, berries, eggs, ours only liked ham. They're lactose intolerant.) And she drinks like a camel.

    But she's absolutely adorable, snuffles about, will huff grumpily and roll up in a wheel if she's upset, and will shuffle her bedding and cause a racket when she's hungry (and she always does it when we have our own dinner). It's fine to stroke them when they're relaxed and their quills are down (like in the picture), just feels like petting a hairbrush :D Underside is fuzzy but coarse, like a dog, but not.

    Pickle would bite me more than prick me, but she hasn't in years now. Also when they're young they self-anoint, which is this gross and mysterious practice where they find an unfamiliar smell, bite it, salivate, twist their body all exorcist style, and smear spit on their back. Google it, IT'S REAL.

    They're not particularly affectionate, and tend to prefer being on their own rather than with company. Ours would tend to go do her own thing when we let her out of the cage for snuggles, but recently she's taken to cradling in a nook beside us and lying down on her stomach.

    They live about 3-5 years, we've had Pickle for just over 3 now. She's had a good run :)
    I've seen the scent thing, it's pretty interesting! They do it as a way to hide from predators, by disguising their scent. I always thought hedgehogs where cool, but I can't wait to get a bearded-dragon for my kiddos.

    Hmm, it's possible a hedgehog may not fit in with my vision of Chez Sarapis then, which would include a llama (possibly two, and definitely not an alpaca - they're assholes), a skunk, a mini-pig, and 2-3 small dogs.

    On that note here is a picture of me trying to learn how to shoot!

    How many levels did you make it through before the asshole dog laughed at you?
    Square up to your target, lean forward, get the weapon in your shoulder, and put your man hand on it. Standing sideways and leaning back like that is only remotely acceptable for a rifle at like 300+ yards. I fucking love shooting and I took top marksman in the school of infantry. Stick with it though, shooting is a blast!

    Casual warnings: mini-pigs are not always as mini as advertised (mine topped out at 90lbs), and they struggle with smooth floor surfaces (no traction with hooves and short little legs make for an awful lot of sliding). Also, the realistic lifespan is a few years shorter than the "projected" (most places say 12-15, in actuality, it's closer to 6-9). They are very territorial, and can be aggressive when their territory is breached by strangers, though this is more predominant in the females (they're also quick, and pig bites hurt! My own never bit me, but had no problems letting visitors know where they were and weren't allowed). That said, they really do make wonderful pets. They're wicked smart, affectionate, playful, and clean.

    Also, yea, alpacas are fking crazy, and mean. There's a guy in Novato with an alpaca farm, those things will run you down and eat you for funsies.


  • SarapisSarapis
    Yeah, the fact that the end size of a "mini"-pig is so hard to predict (and a lot of breeders just lie anyway) would probably stop me from getting one realistically. I want a tiny pig, not a doberman-sized porker.
  • TarausTaraus The Gypsy Wind
    From my experience, if you do end up getting one, you'd be better off getting a male (I've only owned one and mine was a girl, but known 4 others, 2 males and 2 females). They are generally smaller (and how much/how often they're fed when they're in formative years does actually play a role in this). Both males I knew were fed "sparingly" during the first year - not starved at all, but left to go hog-wild (arhar) with their food, and they both stayed small (50 lbs, roughly two foot high, maybe the size of a pug?); plus the males are also way mellower, personality-wise. (also, one of the males I knew actually wound up getting tusks, and he was ahmahgahd adorable)

    Ahh, so they are the northern hemisphere equivalent of the emu or cassowary.  Got it.

    They're native to South America.

    Correct....if you're a scrub.

    Ballers hold their guns like this (and always at least two at once):

    That man is clearly about to engage a horde of undead. I see nothing wrong, and in fact learned a lot 
    This is terrible. I hate it. I love guns. I hate this. The only good thing about this is he's not pointing it at someone, I hope.

    is it bad I'm half expecting those guns in his pants to randomly fire?
