Vet med is like this because they don't really make specialized equipment for every animal. Was on a tour behind the scenes at a zoo and they used a traffic cone to administer anesthesia to a seal.

They don't make masks for anything besides dogs and cats and making tiny masks and putting them on small animals would be incredibly difficult.

We used a rigged cookie jar in my lab before small animal surgery Haha

making tiny masks and putting them on small animals would be incredibly difficult.

... So, if this thing isn't a dedicated small animal anesthetiser, what am I looking at?

They are vet masks. They are generic and come on different sizes. The largest one can fit several small animals. The smallest ones are for cats and tiny dogs. I think the largest one they make are for horses and cattle. But they have special fittings for straps. This ones are rubber ring ended so they are easier to use to makeshift a tiny gas chamber.

A small animal anethetiser which can fit a variety of small animals, not just one :)

I wouldn't call cactus fruit particularly exotic.

I typed this and then remembered that there are people who don't live in a desert.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

As someone who doesn't live in a desert. How do you process these, without having to deal with needles in your hands for the next few days?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 22 hours ago

Pair of leather gloves and some time, there aren't too many needles on the fruits themselves so you can just kinda pull them out, alternatively you use a knives.
