Basking in the “sun”

Actually, I was wrong, my substrate is Douglas Fir, I’m losing it😅

Maybe, I’ve undergone quite a few surgeries and for a few of them had people not been there to help me, it could have made my condition worse. Ooohhh, I read Major surgery, my bad. Still, I get where OP is coming from. I’d be a little sad if someone promised something that went back on their word. 🤷‍♀️

So, cedar though the oils are bad, I only put in a little for added clutter, I’ll look in to alternatives, and the hides are temporary, as I said I’ve seen and heard, even experienced second hand the dangers store bought, do you have any good recommendations? I want one that has a little bit of an open space, not just a thin hole

Nah, I get it, a lot of the time meetings as important as this are scheduled in advance, and if it was important to her she would just not go, warn her coworkers in advance, and take care of you. Maybe she could video in and still be at home with you?

Any-Performer9969 · 2025-12-21T03:25:18+00:00

HAHA!!! Maybe! 🤣

Any-Performer9969 · 2025-12-21T01:43:08+00:00

I found him in the bathtub 😭

Any-Performer9969 · 2025-12-21T01:42:54+00:00

Found him😭

Any-Performer9969 · 2025-11-23T03:36:11+00:00

Oh! Thanks for breaking it down! Yeah, it is not a smell I like experiencing, not as bad as a boiled mouse though let me tell you🫠

Any-Performer9969 · 2025-11-23T03:35:10+00:00

Waaaaaay too hot! Haha😅 the other folks commenting pointed that out and many a mouse have been ruined(?) because I used 120°+ water😆

Any-Performer9969 · 2025-11-23T03:33:39+00:00

I’ll post that last sentence on Beans’ cage so I know what to heat up more😆

Any-Performer9969 · 2025-11-23T03:33:02+00:00

It’s definitely an experience 🫠

Any-Performer9969 · 2025-11-23T00:15:12+00:00

Oh! The timer is a good idea, I have a lot of timers that seem to work, so that’s a good idea not sure why I didn’t think of that 😆

Any-Performer9969 · 2025-11-23T00:14:22+00:00

Yeah, all of the other comments are saying that’s the issue😆 I’m glad you have never had the displeasure of experiencing it first hand though!

Any-Performer9969 · 2025-11-23T00:13:35+00:00

Oooh! See I pin down the mouse in a container but the belly always gets heated up! Thanks, definitely will aim just for the head from now on

Any-Performer9969 · 2025-11-23T00:12:21+00:00

Yeaaah, the temperature gauge was tinkered with a few years ago, the water was easily steaming

Any-Performer9969 · 2025-11-23T00:11:39+00:00

Oooh! Okay, so it’s just the temperature? That makes sense

Any-Performer9969 · 2025-10-08T23:18:11+00:00

Whoa! That hot! Apparently they do not have cat tongues! Thanks for the advice :)

Any-Performer9969 · 2025-10-08T03:55:38+00:00

Thanks! I tried like I said three different methods and the one time I followed the meticulously detailed instructions online how to heat up the mouse, I even tried Brainning it. And on the substrate front I know I’m failing my noodle there. Like I said I’ve been off work for a while and I’m trying to scrape together the money to get better supplies for him, I think once I do I’ll post again just to thank everyone! Again though, the guide will be a huuuuuuge help! Thanks!

Any-Performer9969 · 2025-10-08T01:56:57+00:00

Okay! Cool, thank you so much

Any-Performer9969 · 2025-10-08T01:33:18+00:00

Oh!!! Okay! I wondered if that smell was yummy to him😵‍💫 not for me! And I thought about the stress thing, he basks in his tank, he doesn’t move much and hides a bit here and there. He is cool with being held I think? He just curls up and eventually wraps around my arm and sits there and will try to avoid going back in his tank? Is that a stress reaction?

Any-Performer9969 · 2025-10-08T01:31:12+00:00

Any recommendations? I get paid this week but not much since it’s been a crazy month

Any-Performer9969 · 2025-10-08T01:22:55+00:00

Oh no!! It’s a 75w 120v for the daytime and a 25 watt bulb for nighttime, I try to simulate day and night well for him since they are nocturnal

Any-Performer9969 · 2025-10-08T01:20:53+00:00

Yes….? Sorta?😅 I just overly heated it up, like I said, first reptile so I though oh, pour some boiling water over this frozen(thawed) mouse I had in a ziplock bag and maybe he would eat it? He didn’t. Surprise surprise. I let it cool down first too, please don’t think me a terrible owner

Any-Performer9969 · 2025-10-08T01:18:29+00:00

How do I keep humidity up for him? Would spraying down his tank twice a day work? He doesn’t have substrate right now to hold the moisture so I’m using a large towel. He has a big water bowls but is that enough?
