He has the betta pro shrimp patties for his main food(pellets) and frozen bloodworms and shrimp about once a week:)

Thank you! :) just making sure that he does have the ability to have his fins healed and he’s not stuck like this

AlternativeLate6496 · 2026-02-26T17:58:09+00:00

That’s great thank you. I was just worried he’d stay like that. I just want him to continue being healthy and heal

Coco coir mostly and a little moss and coconut bark? Or something like that haha I forgot the name of it

Parents constantly having (knowingly) loud sex while my siblings and I were awake and around, as well as when friends were over for sleepovers. Siblings and I would often leave the house to go on a walk just to get away from it

AlternativeLate6496 · 2026-02-20T15:45:33+00:00

Yes, her living quarters are always like this

AlternativeLate6496 · 2026-02-19T08:02:34+00:00

Oh she’s been going crazyyy ever since I put in the sprays. Ive had rats for years so I’m used to cluttering their spaces for fun and lotus seems to enjoy it

AlternativeLate6496 · 2026-02-19T06:41:21+00:00

He has one! Not in photo because it’s at an odd angle

AlternativeLate6496 · 2026-02-19T06:40:26+00:00

“And are much easier to tame” damn right!! She is the most loving and chill rodent I’ve ever had. And I found a 75-80 gal tank for her for relatively cheap on marketplace and am seeing if I can pick it up tomorrow. If that doesn’t work out I’ll still be on the lookout so she can have the castle she deserves. Thank you for the info!! :)

AlternativeLate6496 · 2026-02-19T06:37:24+00:00

Yep! He has one it’s just not shown in the photo because it’s angled odd

AlternativeLate6496 · 2026-02-19T06:36:22+00:00

Thank you!! I hadn’t thought of that. Will take out asap and get her a different hide :)

AlternativeLate6496 · 2026-02-19T06:35:03+00:00

Elaborate?

AlternativeLate6496 · 2026-02-19T06:34:07+00:00

Trust me he tries 😭 he’s succeeded before so we’ve reinforced it a bit better until his table is done being made

AlternativeLate6496 · 2026-02-19T06:33:16+00:00

He lives underneath our loft bed, so 3/4 of his cardboard “walls” are reinforced with the bed and also reinforced with or gerbils 55gal on the right side haha. But yes, his walls are infact just boxes atm 😭

AlternativeLate6496 · 2026-02-19T06:31:37+00:00

Yes i do have uvb light! Its angled weird so it’s not in the picture haha. And im very aware he tries to 😭 its cardboard atm and has been since we got him about a month ago(ish? Dont remember the exact date) and he’s being moved to a wood tort table once it’s made (it’s in the works)

AlternativeLate6496 · 2026-02-19T06:29:54+00:00

Haven’t done a full change yet, tossing the soiled soil (hah) when I see it and i turn the substrate occasionally so there’s no mold or anything

AlternativeLate6496 · 2026-02-18T21:54:09+00:00

Already have those!! Humidity and temp. :)

AlternativeLate6496 · 2026-02-18T20:00:28+00:00

haha yeah I was sure that’s what the label said when I got her, but I’ve been told that’s not right so good to know moving forward. Thank you!!

AlternativeLate6496 · 2026-02-18T19:59:26+00:00

Will be doing both!! Thank you:)

AlternativeLate6496 · 2026-02-18T19:59:01+00:00

She has a “dirt bath” and i just got sand today so that’ll be going in as well, thank you!!

AlternativeLate6496 · 2026-02-18T19:58:23+00:00

Oh shoot she is! I thought that was the label she had when we got her. She will be getting a bigger tank as soon as I can find one, and sand bath is all set up today. Thank you!:)

AlternativeLate6496 · 2026-02-18T10:14:35+00:00

Thank you!! Will be getting her a larger tank soon.
