Yo! This is what happens when you buy an animal you do not know how to take care of. The tank is too small and the Axolotl is suffering from gill rot, an extremely painful disease. Pets are not cool fashion accessories or decor, they are living things. Always thoroughly research BEFORE you buy

why r/chonkers is allowed to exist I am not sure. All I know is that it promotes this idea of obesity being cute and something to work toward. It's not kids. Talk to your vet about meal planning and proper diets, please.

Alot of this is self-explanatory but like legit, don't fucking do this. Your pets lungs will be heavily affected if you do. Smoking/vaping is your choice but please do not bring your animals into it. Its harmful and serves literally 0 purpose.

I cannot even fathom how someone thought this was a good idea. Don't perform unnecessary cosmetic procedures/do shit like this to your animals. They are not fashion accessories. They are living things.

Never NEVER EVER DO THIS TO YOUR DOG. Dogs are not something to customize. They are not a fashion accessory. Never put your pet under the knife unless they NEED that procedure to improve their quality of life. This is entirely cosmetic. This does NOTHING to improve that dog's quality of life.

Good morning from birb! She's doing really well, all things considered. She's really active, very chatty, and super hungry! No signs of complications that I've seen so far, but I'll still be monitoring her closely.

Some bullshit from r/chonkers. This cat is not cute, its morbidly obese and needs medical attention. If you have a chonker PLEASE TALK TO A VET AND PUT IT ON A DIET. THIS IS NOT FUNNY, ITS JUST ABUSE.

A snake is not a decoration. Burmese Pythons in captivity should be fed frozen-thawed mice, rabbits, and rats; NOT FUCKING CHICKEN BREASTS. And this snake is being starved; these snakes need to eat twice a week to maintain a normal HEALTHY body weight. Also, the enclosure should be much larger.

Some good tortoise care for once from this girl, who's had Tiptoe for 19 years and looks after him so well! Sadly a rare thing for tortoises 😢

A bit of a reminder: having an overweight animal is not always bad AS LONG AS YOU ARE ACTIVELY DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Obesity in animals is becoming a real problem in the pet community and it's being promoted by posts like these. Always regulate your pet's diet and talk to a vet about meal prep

4yr ⋅

⋅

I have no idea why but this seems to be commonplace on pet subreddits in general. If your reptile has a medical issue take it to the vet first. Vets are qualified to help you more than internet strangers.

These cats are not chonkers, they are morbidly obese and will die of obesity-related issues. This is abuse. Please do not overfeed your pet to the point where they become THIS overweight. The health of your animals is YOUR priority. Don't kill them for internet points.

This is biologically impossible. Dogs PHYSICALLY NEED things like meat in their diet or they will die from malnutrition. Don't fucking do this to your animals, please.

Look at me I exploit my stressed out deaf cat by bringing her to dog parks off leash! Says we “don’t understand the nuances of cat behaviour” those nuances being hissing, lunging, attacking and swatting kids, dogs, and other cats that this ___bikes right up to for views. Soon he’ll have no cat

*screams*. There is no place for the turtle to exit the water. The tank is overcrowded and too small, none of these decorations are appropriate, no basking lamp for the turtle. This tank is so bad I'm about to pop a blood vessle.

Tiny cage, cat getting it's dander all over everything, keeping a free roam(?) prey animal together with a predator (no matter how friendly the cat is you should always be VERY careful). Really irks me how a lot of people treat bunnies.

Animal conservationists are not the enemy here. The enemy is a wannabe animal rights group that steals pets and euthanizes them simply because they were pets. Fuck PETA and rest in peace Steve Irwin

PSA: Do not support content like this. In a cultural context, these animals are killed immediately before consumption in the most humane way possible but this woman eats them while they are still alive, on camera. This is not right at all.

I don't like sand. It's coarse, and rough, and irritating, and it can cause impactions in reptiles and be lethal. I'm starting to hate Pets At Home more and more every day.

Why can’t people learn to never paint their lizards nails even if it looks “cute”. Nail polish fumes are toxic and add that with a heat lamp and an animal with a sensitive respiratory system is just a recipe for disaster. The dragon is even black bearding which shows how stressed they are

The cat is inside the tank. That is so much stress on the dragon. if the cat decides it wants to play this owner could wind up with serious injuries on her hands. The owner keeps defending it by saying her beardie never gets stress lines...like that’s the only way dragons can show distress...

I know declawing is controversial for the most part but I hate when people respond “oh no, me and Fluffy talked about it and he’s cool with it.” As if a cat could possibly understand the mutilation the owners about to put it through :(

So I’ve been baby sitting my BIL’s bearded dragon for a couple of months while he is deployed. I just got enough money to redo her tank and I am wondering if there i anything I should absolutely have besides this? (She loves sand also, to explain the pit)

Cats and bearded dragons are not “friends” and there is no way the owner could get to them in time to stop something from happening if one of them snapped. This also encourages other people seeing these posts to do the same with their pets and end up with lots of dead lizards.

This bowl is WAY TOO SMALL for 1 fish, let alone multiple. Nano goldfish enclosures are not cute or Trendy. Its the equivalent of keeping your fish in a red solo cup and just leaving it there

Pet Supplies Plus doesn’t understand basic reptile husbandry. No basking spot, just a 40 watt bulb on top of a plexiglass panel, no heat or uvb. This littleguy’s short life has probably been a painful one. Is there something I can do about this? It’s pretty typical for this place...
