amphipod Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Oh, I'll try... Do you want individual or by species? Link to comment
scottsdale454ss Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 . Its not quite a god complex in my scenario, I like to see and marvel at the creatures, also keep them as one would other pets. Though I won't lie sometimes I like to see them fight, solve problems, and occasionally I do experiments. I also many times have dissected my dead pets, one time I had a millipede die and I had an electric sparker from some lighter and I was dissecting him and I put the wires at the base of the legs from the inside and they moved, it was weird. What other animals have you dissected? what other kind of experiments have you done? individual i suppose Link to comment
amphipod Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 What other animals have you dissected? what other kind of experiments have you done?individual i suppose there's been hundreds of pets, litteraly, no joke. I've dissected trout, crickets, grasshoppers, wasps, millipedes, anoles, corydoras, crayfish, rat in school, tadpoles, others I don't remember most every time they are dead before hand I don't usually kill them, they don't go to waste usually.

metrokat Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I think that the Nano Reef Radio show should be revived with Amphipod as a guest and Psy as the host. I'll be the moderator. Link to comment

scottsdale454ss Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 soo, how do you kill them when you want to dissect them? Link to comment
amphipod Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Depends, I don't usually kill them unless its to euthanize them, I get a steady supply of dead crickets, and a turtle who willingly cleans up. I will crush head usually, most humane way other than asphyxiation. Link to comment

amphipod Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 I just want to be assured they aren't suffering long. So I go very direct. Once though I pit a crochet in a syringe with no needle to see if there could be a more humane way, pressed out most the air then pulled the plunger out, space cricket. He expanded, twitched and was dead in seconds, or so I thought I'd found a better way, minutes later he's running away. I felt few bad for his suffering in the syringe, so I stick with my present method. End of the cricket was being fed to the turtle. Link to comment

amphipod Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 That's understandable, its a bad place to be injured, bit it ended up being the most humane, kinda like cutting necks for animals like chickens. Link to comment
