#captive bred

[crevicedwelling]

I read your blog a little and didn’t consider the ecological consequences of keeping non captive breeding inverts, it for some reason didn’t click for me that this means they’re likely wild caught. It’s unfortunate this is a common enough practice in the US nobody really bats an eye at it, given that Orthoporus and Narceus americanus are 2 really common species kept as pets here… thanks for speaking up about it, I’m glad I know now

yep! blue death feigning beetles are another one that gets me a little worried every time I see huge tubs full of them on bug sellers’ pages. they make good pets* but are difficult to captive breed, so all those thousands are probably collected from the wild. maybe it would be okay if there was actual research on either of these species to show that their wild populations can withstand such collection, but unfortunately I don’t think either is studied well enough for that.

at least there are a few people out there who have managed to breed BDFBs, so even if the average pet keeper isn’t willing to make a breeding setup and manage larvae, there might be breeders in the future who can meet the demand and lessen the impact on wild beetles.

Fall photoshoot with my pet mantis, Nike. She is an adult female Stagmomantis.

Note: Yes she has some eye rub, she has a grudge against carpenter ants and 0 braincells.

hello friends. it's occured to me that I've never seen a moon bear cub. I can ask Google but I'd rather direct internet traffic to my favorite bear blog. do you have baby moon bears? if you don't, any bear cubs will satisfy the yearning in my soul for cute baby bears. thank you! te amo mucho.

We do friend, we do indeed

#The reason why you haven’t seen many moon bear cubs is because a significant number of the moon bears #That you’ll see photos of are rescued from bear bile farms and they’re adults and are not being bred #So pretty few baby moon bears in captivity #And they’re relatively elusive in the wild #Not really fun fact cause it’s kinda depressing #But it’s a fact #Ask

What's also really sad about Rocket's backstory is the fact that he was most probably not caught on earth but already bred and born in captivity. Because the HE had a bunch of other raccoon babies years after him and i don't think that asshole would be willing to make several trips to earth over the years. So that must also be the reason his dream was to fly into the sky. Because he couldn't remember it. He didn't know a life in freedom

Honestly if they actually did ok in captivity i think catching every single vaquita would be justifiable. Much like what was done with California condors and black footed ferrets. Although illegal fishing is a lot harder to handle than just giving every released individual a distemper vaccine.

I agree. Once a sufficient number were propagated in captivity, they could be reintroduced to the wild while maintaining a “backup” population in human care, like with red wolves and the species you mentioned! But unfortunately it’s not to be 😔

Hate those gill nets. Awful things.

#even if they could be bred in captivity #it would be a LONG TIME before reintroductions could begin #since they only have one calf every few years #vaquitas #cetaceans #marine mammals #wildlife #conservation #answered asks #anonymous

Todays tadpiole,

The banded bullfrog/asian painted frog/digging frog/Malaysian bullfrog/common Asian frog/painted ballon frog or more commonly know as the chubby frog tadpole

These many named goobers are actually a personal favourite species of mine

And I own one

his (I think) name is Potato (I am aware that’s a basic name) but we mostly call him Guenouille which is French for fuog. There aren’t any typos in the previous sentence. I am serious.

hehe beeg boi colors

damn there's still grown ass adults out there who can't handle the fact that the Sawyer's being inbred in TCM isn't for "shock value" but an aspect of the horror to display how they act as animals and are reliving cycles of abuse and trauma from their generational grooming to view that family is the only thing that matters?

L

#you aint gotta be comfortable with it but that shits been evident since the first film lmaooooo. #i think atp tcm fans need to go watch another film 💪 #shock value inbreeding in horror -> wrong turn #a metaphor for how a family acts as animals bred in captivity and raised with a cult mentality -> texas chainsaw massacre #its horror. horror is meant to make you uncomfortable horrified disgusted and even triggered from time to time lol. you cant just #ignore absolutely integral parts to a story and its characters bc you think its problematic lmfao? #the sawyers have always been inbred. guess yall just lack comprehension skills or didnt watch past tcm 2 ! #wait till yall hear that ed neal says nubbins is schizophrenic cause hes two generations inbred. yall are gonna flip your shit.

NEW FRIENDS SOON

I found a listening for some captive bred red legged millipedes and oh I just had to get them <3

The seller was super nice and gave me 6 for a real good price, even says they'll send me pairs, I'll hopefully have them Thursday weather premitting.

#bug babbles #I'm making a big effort to double check with all sellers now that I'm getting captive bred #I just kind of assumed they all were because “who's paying to get 50 millipedes shipped across the world to sell?” was my thoughts #I still really want to get a giant African Millipede so bad #I think that's my big want they're just so hard to get where I live #I already have a tank for them and everything

Here is the handsome fellow <3

He has a little white dot!

So cuuuute <3 <3 I'm envious, I've been looking for any Jumpers around here lately, haven't seen any yet!

#Spider #Phidippus Audax #Bold Jumping Spider #I keep seeing YouTube recommendations of ''Jumping Spider: Best Pet Spider???'' and like how-tos on making simple enclosures and jfkdlsahfd #They're also some of the few animals you can pick right up out of your backyard and keep - by the standards of spider and reptile people #Most animals you don't wanna do that lol - a lot of animals Can be domesticated but by definition of being in your backyard - are not #Spiders are ''wild'' whether they're captive bred or caught in nature tho :) And Jumpers are especially intelligent! #There's still a part of me that doesn't want to tho since they have such naturally short lifespans :') #Same reason I want to but can't imagine raising moths or Rhinoceros beetles or any of the like #They're too beautiful and I'd be too sad - but it might also be the right lifespan for me to learn by I don't know #Anyhow anyhow - thanks for showing me this cute little lad ahhh <3 <3 #Delightful little fuzzy mustache and a very pronounced white dot! Very handsome! :D

Nice in theory, still doesn’t compare to their homes where they’re free with their loved ones. How would you feel?

Oh my god? In the like seven years I've run this, I think this is the first anon hate I've ever gotten?? Does this qualify as anon hate?

#anyway lmao i have no idea what you're talking about anon #people are allowed to own pets guilt free #plus 'their homes' ? Where do you think these animals come from? #Because most of them are not wild caught #they were bred in captivity #asks #anonymous

[weaselle]

i think a very telling point about modern western society is

we have an industry that people pay to spread poison and torture devices around to kill mice and cockroaches and rats and snakes and things and we also have an industry that people pay to breed and sell mice and cockroaches and rats and snakes and things

and you will find both of these businesses in the same town

#i find something about this truth so disturbing #because its lives #and we are squeezing large amounts of lives out of the ether via some pretty creepy practices on one end and shoving lives of the same kind #into the meat grinder on the other end and it just somehow seems like an enormous and too-casual affront to nature #and fuck actually we are low key doing the same thing to cats #just breeding and killing and breeding and killing #its crazy #we don't even eat them or anything #i don't know if feels unholy #yes even the cockroaches #like they are just little forrest janitors #and like sure i hate them in my house too #but its not their fault #and to get into a poisoning war with them while at the same time farming them to be fed alive to other bred and captive animals #the whole thing seems weird to me #but like weird in the way that makes the universe mad at you

working at a pet store has proven to me that if I see a certain animal (or fish) for more than 3 consecutive days I am fully ready to die for it

and it hurts me knowing that the little turtles, fishies and stray cat that we have might be going into homes that either don't know or don't want to provide proper care for them

#personal #the hours i have spent this week #trying to see if i can afford to get a big enough water tank for the turtles and the fishies #too many hours #unfortunately i can't justify the upfront costs :/ #why are water tanks so damn expensive (wdym the tank for creating a mini isolated ecosystem would be costly. unbelievable) #pain #also the pet store i'm in only has captive bred fishies and turtles don't you start on me #i wouldn't stay if they were bringing in wild captures #the focus is on cat and dog items/consumables

My Team:

I only have 2 permanent members of my team. Lady 7 (Magcargo) and Bishop (Unown).

The Mt Chimney breeding program has a handful of other magcargo and dozens of slugma, but they're all wild caught and most are designated to be re-released into the wild. Some of them have names but I won't list them as there are Too Many. Lady turned 9 last week, and she's the mother of a lot of members of the program. Very sweet girl, and has been a great companion. Since she's getting on in years, I'll probably keep a Slugma from her next batch of eggs to be Lady 8. Bishop is a bit of an odd one. No idea how old they are because I caught them wild, but I've had them for almost 21 years now and they don't seem to be slowing down. They're very quiet, but friendly and always seem interested in watching the newly hatched slugma move around. A kindred spirit.
