The BBB is just Yelp wearing a fancy suit.
Earth-dirt is fine! I know what I’m getting into there.
But I have no idea what horrors have accumulated & combined to make floor-dirt. No thank you.
Yes.
(sorry)
I have too many to fit them into relevant posts.
I used to put my cat’s kibble in a bit of water so it’d get soft (and it’d trick him into staying hydrated, too). It’s great for picky eaters and elderly pets!
I feed my pet things that I eat, too! Collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens, various squashes, fresh blueberries, etc.
Except for his bugs. I don’t like cockroaches or worms very much. But he seems to like them! So he gets those, too.
I used to hitchhike, and one day, got a ride with a trucker hauling blackened animal organs to be turned into pet food (they were blackened as a mark to show they were unfit for human consumption at the place where they were mass harvested). It was the worst smell I’ve ever smelled in my entire life. I remember gagging for a few minutes as the driver laughed and told me what the deal was.
Still not the worst road story I have lol.
But be aware of what your pet’s food is made from. Or make your own, if you’re worried about it!
There’s typically warning against eating pet food on the bags for that very reason.
I am learning all kinds of new and alarming things today!
Thank you!
I thought it was just those fancy LEDs people put in their computers these days! Like a secret feature!
Thanks so much! I have in on a little shelf below my desk. I’ll be cleaning it much more often now!
WHOA!
Removing that nearly entire bucket of dust feels justified now! Makes me happy I wasn’t just wasting my time. Thank you!
I am constantly cleaning my glasses. I’d like to recommend “koala cloths”! Because those standard microfiber cloths are absolute butt & seem to just redistribute smears. Koala cloths cleans out those smudges in seconds!
Seriously: it’s a miniscule investment, and you’ll thank me once you try it.
I carry my stainless steel water bottle everywhere. It’s wonderful at night!
…Just don’t put a full, heavy water bottle in a place where it could potentially fall on your head / face while you’re sleeping.
His skin is the issue, mostly. Bearded dragons shed by rubbing themselves on rough surfaces. Due to having no skin protection from scales, he is prone to cuts and scrapes from such surfaces. Cold-blooded animals are notorious for slow healing, which means open wounds heal extremely slow, leaving the animal very prone to infections and further complications. SO, I’ve sanded down corners, sharp edges, and other things in his enclosure.
He also requires lotion, aloe, and massages to keep his skin / shed healthy. If this is not done, the shed can become stuck on certain appendages, which can lead to loss of blood flow, with can lead to rot/infection, which can lead to required amputation or death. Common stuck shed amputation parts for scaleless beardies are tail tip, all toes, and even eyelids.
So this dude has a better skincare routine than I do, gets weekly massages, gets humidity checks (too little = dried out skin, too much = respiratory infection), has temperature control, special furniture, etc.
Given me more white hairs worrying about him more than anything else in my life, that’s for sure!
His name is Pączki! Pronounced like “Poonch-key”. (native Polish speakers, please do not come for me lol)
My stupid, ugly lizard.
I had my eye on a beautiful female leatherback bearded dragon with great genetics! She was around 200$ and I was so ready to buy her. Contacted the breeder and was told that she had been sold just a few hours earlier. Absolutely crushed.
Then the breeder offered up a defect dragon. It was going to be culled due to a genetic fuck-up that caused it to be born without spikes or scales. They’re much much much much much more difficult to care for into adulthood, due to their special needs. 20$ adoption fee + shipping.
He was the opposite of what I had wanted.
So naturally, sucker that I am, I adopted him.
He’s turning 5 this November.
I love my stupid, ugly lizard. 💕
(here is what a standard one looks like:)
Vampliers!
I work(ed) with old machines, and it was an absolute godsend. Prefer it after using penetrating spray on stuck screws.
Wonder how it feels knowing the FBI is calling you “iceberg boy”.
Stalkers, no doubt.
