How do I know when my black russian short hair hamster is mature? (as in, when can I breed her?)? I want to breed my hamster, so how do I know when she is ready? and also, if you know this, i would like to know how to breed, introduce, and any tips. (please don't think I'm crazy. I might not even do it, just will you answer the question?) | Firstly, there are waaay to many hamsters in the world today, so nobody should be breeding them until the shelters are empty.
But as a totally accidental russian hamster breeder, I just put the boy in the girls cage by accident (escaped at midnight, confused oscar with his sister olivia). Realised about 8am and one of my girls was already pregnant with 13 babys. Moral of the story? Breedin russians is v. easy, and you will end up with way more than you wanted. (I ended with 26). | How to convince your parents to let you get a Russian Tortoise as a pet? i was just wanting to know ow to convince your parent to let you get a russian tortoise I'm 13 yrs of age and i am very mature around any animal. I saw one at our local pet store yesterday and i was amazed by it so i started researching and the more i research them the more fascinated i get i would pay for everything including the tortoise but getting my parents to agree is a problem how should i ask them i haven't asked yet | Well first of all, I just want to say that Russian Tortoises are awesome! I have had my Russian Tortoise for about two years and I love her so much! Russian Tortoise are great pets because they don't make noises (like barking) and they don't require too much attention if you are busy one day. Tortoise in general live over 50+ years if properly cared for so you won't have to go through the heart break of it dying in a couple of years like hamsters. Also, if you regularly clean the tortoise and it's cage it doesn't smell at all. Russian Tortoises stay relatively small, so you won't have to worry about getting huge like a Sulcatta Tortoise. Russian Tortoises are also one of the more active species and are very hardy. Their diet is of leafy greens so that's very cheap to buy.
Just explain all this to your parents. My parents didn't want to get my Russian Tortoise at first, but after I got her, they cannot go a day without seeing her because they love her so much too! Good luck! | Is it okay if i put a male dwarf hamster and a male russian hamster together? i have a mature dwarf hamster at home and i would really like a male russian hamster too. Im not sure whether to put them together of keep them separate..help? | | You can't put 2 male hamsters together. They will fight until one dies. | How long will it take for my two small young russian dwarf hamsters to get used to me and is there a way to? a way to help them get used to you oh and another question: Are russian dwarf hamsters good for 11 year olds because my brother is 11 but is very gentle and mature | | spend lots of time with it, not handling mostly just stay beside the cage till it gets used to you being around. yeah they are good for guys his age. | 19th century russian-french literature has a maturing effect on the reader agree? things like; Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Balzac, Hugo etc... you feel like youve lived in all the settings and now youre an old man who's seen a lot. | No. Reading a 'difficult' book doesn't make you mature. Also, bracketing all French and Russian literature of the 19th century together is rather a sweeping generalisation. There are few similarities between, say, Balzac and Gogol, or Dostoevsky and Dumas. And why would you 'feel like you lived in all the settings' when you've read 19th century French and Russian literature, but not when you've read 19th century English or American literature? Or indeed 20th century literature. There's no reason why reading Crime & Punishment would 'mature' you any more than reading La Peste.
I smell the whiff of pretension, which is, ironically, a wee bit immature. | Russian name for older woman character? I am writing a story and need a name, preferably of Russian origin for an older woman character. Actually, she's around 26, but she is very cold and mature, etc.
I want something kind of harsh, but not too foreign that it would lose its impact when reading. | | Svetlana, Yuliya, Larissa, Yekaterina | My internet russian girl friend has started calling me "her man" ? We are both mature people in our 50's. She is widowed with a grown up daughter. We have been writing to each other for a year and it has become a very warm, intimate friendship. She will be visiting this year. Has the fact that she made quite a firm point of calling me her man any particular cultural significance. | | you told us, she is Russian, ok. what about you? a red neck from Romania? | Are you mature enough to have watched the lunar landings and what was it like? I wasn't born yet, so I missed out !! DAMN IT!!! BLO#DY F#CKING HELL!!!!!! Anyway I always think the apollo missions were well before their time, I guess i could blame the russians or maybe america for starting the cold war?
Anyway what was it like? | It was indeed amazing! My family was living overseas at the time (in S. America), and it gave me a huge dose of pride in my home country and a cure to homesickness to see grainy images and voices of Americans getting ready to freakin' step out on the moon! But I tell you, I was going to a British school back then, and the way it was received by British guys, teachers, and by the Latin American public, was one of universal pride in being a *human being* that day! That wasn't just an American flag, that was humans saying "hey, we've arrived!"
I remember wondering why it took so long. Those Apollo 9 and 10 flights around the moon (I don't recall the earlier missions, although they were equally important). And finally Apollo 11 touching down, and it felt like we waited *forever* for them to climb out on the ladder, and then for Neil Armstrong to take that final step. We clapped and hooted.
I also remember that it didn't get boring at all with the subsequent Apollo landings. Every one was hold-your-breath suspenseful ... especially when Apollo 13 reminded us that this thing was really really both difficult and dangerous. Apollo 14 was particularly tense. 15, 16, and 17 all had the lunar rover (that cool buggy) and I really wanted one.
It was truly fantastic. But in your lifetime you've seen the skylab and shuttle programs, neither of which is a slouch of an achievement and in many ways far more dangerous and complex.
(Incidentally, for those people in the "just a hoax" camp, I vacillate between puzzlement, anger, and sadness. How sad it must be to be *so* cynical about the world, that you'd believe that thousands of people (astronauts, their families, engineers, NASA officials, journalists, government people, three presidents, etc. etc.) ... and to fake it not just once, but six times ... and for what? One of the greatest achivements in human history ... just a big lie? And this is a lie that has been kept by thousands of people, from many walks of life, with diverging political alliances, for more than 40 years since the beginning of the Apollo program until now. Distrusting politicians and government officials is one thing, but how cynical do you have to get to despise engineers and scientists like that?)
(But when I'm in my angry mode, it's when I remember that 32 astronauts strapped themselves into little tin cans and risked their lives to accomplish this amazing thing, including 3 astronauts who did die (Grissom, White, and Chafee, who died in Apollo 1), and 3 who almost died (Lovell, Swigert, and Haise in Apollo 13) ... all so that 35 years later some morons could get a kick out of saying that they all did it in a Hollywood lot. Imagine 35 years from now people claiming that the space shuttle was all just a big NASA hoax, and that all the astronauts who risked their lives and those that died in Columbia and Challenger were just actors and/or deliberately killed to silence them from exposing the secret. Imagine that 35 years from now. That's how I feel.) | Getting rid of a Russian Vine...? I have a Russian Vine in my garden, which we bought when the house was built as it grows quickly and is very hardy.
Problem is now eveyrthing else has matured, we want to get rid of the russian vine. Tried digging it out, cutting off all the branches etc and it still manages to grow
Any tips to get rid of it for good? | Hey J-uk,
Hi-Yield Killz-all is a non-selective herbicide. If you spray it on the leaves of the vine, careful not to over spray, this will cause the roots to die. If you have just a stalk sticking up, you could drill the stump and spray this into the holes.
Sodium chlorate is a non-selective contact herbicide, considered phytotoxic to all green plant parts. It is used as spot treatment for serious perennial weeds, such as morning glory, Canada thistle, and Johnson grass and for vegetation control on roadsides. It is also used as a defoliant and desiccant for cotton, safflower, corn, flax, soybeans, and other crops. It is also known to have a soil sterilant effect (Extoxnet, Klingman et. al., Meister). It kills all plant growth except moss and persists for three to six months (Meister).
Be careful with this stuff, normally used as a bulk defoliant. |
