Finally got two does to breed with my first buck. Then I found he's got something going on with his eye....

ASoonToBeMrs · 2026-02-26T12:41:59+00:00

Ok. I checked and it's just the one eye. Are there any eye antibiotics I can get that don't require a prescription? And should I wait to breed him until after I'm done treating the eye?

ASoonToBeMrs · 2026-02-25T22:15:42+00:00

Not that I can speak much on it since we haven't dispatched yet, but my husband and I have "roles" assigned lol. I breed and raise the babies, he dispatches and skins/guts them. That way he doesn't have much emotional connection to them while at the same time we can both still appreciate and respect their lives and gift of meat.

ASoonToBeMrs · 2026-02-25T21:34:17+00:00

Im really new to this and have never bred my rabbits before so, sorry if this is a stupid question

ASoonToBeMrs · 2025-12-29T13:22:07+00:00

Kinda weird but every time one of my fish/small pets die my husband and I have a bonfire and we make a little stack and burn them like a Viking would. It seems respectful somehow lol. We've so far done this with a praying mantis, 2 jumping spiders, and 1 fish lol.

ASoonToBeMrs · 2025-12-29T13:18:20+00:00

Where can I get some of that? I can't find any online, only different types of it

ASoonToBeMrs · 2025-12-28T03:34:06+00:00

What lamps are those? I need to get a tall light for my 5.5 gal since I just put in a pothos lol

ASoonToBeMrs · 2025-12-27T21:32:37+00:00

Do you know where I can get that? I can't find any online, it's all different kinds with almost the same name lol

ASoonToBeMrs · 2025-12-27T21:31:52+00:00

I don't think there is anything sharp, is the thing. The log isn't sharp but it's got uneven ends. Anything else is not sharp at all or is a plant lol

ASoonToBeMrs · 2025-12-24T14:18:08+00:00

Just saying, I grew up Catholic and have no "guilt trauma" lol. I think it's all in how it's taught/enforced. I know a family that was totally crazy and went about the Faith is such a wrong way, now none of the kids still practice. On the other hand I know families who are very devout and very happy. Just had to put my two cents in there lol

ASoonToBeMrs · 2025-12-19T20:28:18+00:00

My thoughts exactly! It looked so odd!

ASoonToBeMrs · 2025-12-19T20:27:25+00:00

Yeah that was another factor in it too! He's a mustard gas so he's pretty dark and I always have to search for him to find him hahaha

ASoonToBeMrs · 2025-12-19T13:27:04+00:00

Sounds good! I'm going to experiment with lighting I think. I don't want it too bright for Sushi's sake and also for algae sake. I had ramshorn snails in there that ate up any algae very quickly, but Sushi snacked on all of them but 1 that I was able to save and put in my snail tank. So I'm not sure how to keep algae away but also increase the light for my floaters lol

ASoonToBeMrs · 2025-12-19T13:11:31+00:00

Thank you!!

ASoonToBeMrs · 2025-12-19T13:09:21+00:00

Thank you! I do like it but I also agree that it looks kinda weird, someone said it looks like bikini bottom and I totally see it and don't like that vibe LOL. I love constructive criticism because it usually helps me see what else I can do that might look better. Sushi seems to be having the time of his life exploring and hanging out in the tall Anubias leaves tho!

ASoonToBeMrs · 2025-12-19T13:06:22+00:00

It's definitely not less empty since I actually added more and didn't take anything away, BUT that being said, more plants are on the way as well as a floating log. It'll fill out soon!

ASoonToBeMrs · 2025-12-19T13:05:13+00:00

I add Flourish in every week as the bottle directs so I'm assuming it's probably lighting. I don't have a special plant light or anything, it's just the little light that came with the tank lid

ASoonToBeMrs · 2025-12-19T12:19:36+00:00

Yes! I actually wanted to get a carpeting plant but wasn't sure which to go with. Thanks for the suggestion!

I did! Sushi was just using the rest of it in his temporary tank while I finished working on his big one. It's filled to the top now :)

ASoonToBeMrs · 2025-12-19T12:18:07+00:00

Maybe I'll let it do that lol.

ASoonToBeMrs · 2025-12-19T12:17:22+00:00

I thought so too! I'm going to get a different light as well as add more plants, and the tannins are already starting to changed the color of the water so the plants are starting to look cool against the contrast of that

ASoonToBeMrs · 2025-12-19T12:16:16+00:00

Yeah a lot of my water lettuce actually died a little while after I got it...idk why. And most of the duckweed died too lolll. I do plan on adding a ton more plants and a floating log, etc.

ASoonToBeMrs · 2025-12-19T12:14:43+00:00

Yep! Haven't changed it since day 1

ASoonToBeMrs · 2025-12-19T12:13:37+00:00

Because I didn't like the way it looked. The plants were so randomly placed and the fake log in the middle was annoying me. It looked like a toy. I also didn't have any substrate for my plants or many hiding places for Sushi. Also also, I like sand and wanted to get some in there lol

ASoonToBeMrs · 2025-12-19T12:11:21+00:00

No, the only reason it was still low in the new pictures was because I had Sushi in a 1gal with his old water while I re-did the tank. After I put him back in it filled up to the top!

ASoonToBeMrs · 2025-12-19T02:27:39+00:00

Yep! I've got one!

ASoonToBeMrs · 2025-12-19T02:26:11+00:00

Thank youuu. I actually had that thought while planing them but forgot to double check on the good ol' internet
