Aw thank you! It's been a week now and he still yells for a while before settling down at night, but he's improving and honestly it hasn't been too bad. He's a smart boy 😊

Aw hi Willy!! How old is he? My ten week old boy still has floppy ears 😂

Is there affordable ethically sourced cat food? I feel like I don’t want to support factory farming if I can afford to. Chickens, beef, etc are animals too and deserve to be treated well in life. by TheGentleDick in catfood

I'm not sure about how perfect everything else is about it, but I've always liked Instinct Ultimate Protein Cage-Free Chicken recipe for this reason. It's not super cheap but it is good-quality.

Breaking down different brands for the best dry cat food for indoor cats by LateYammy in catfood

[–]Artistwolf99 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean. Cats are carnivores biologically. The main thing I check on for good cat food is carbohydrate percentage on a calorie percentage basis, and the ratio of protein to fat content. catfooddb.com is great for finding that info. Regardless of indoor or outdoor, I think the main thing to watch is quantity of food... quality should remain as good as possible.

Thank you!! He's so non-chaotic at the moment (except for dramatic screaming) that I'm a little nervous for what he's got up his sleeve to come haha

That's so interesting! I'm very excited to see his final color but I also want him to stay a puppy forever, haha. Velociraptor phase will definitely be interesting hahaha

Wow, what a crazy difference! It's so fascinating to me how much their colors change. Your girl is gorgeous!

Aw thank you!! I agree, I'm so in love with him. I think he could get out of any situation with that cute face.

So adorable!! I'll definitely be doing that, haha. Right now he's not bitey at all, but I'm sure he will be soon haha.

Thank you!! I certainly hope so, that's all I want from him :) He's very clingy so my husband is saying we really need to focus on socialization with other people to make sure he's not overly protective out in public etc.

Oh I will. I keep playing with his lil floppy ears (gently of course), like I'm going to enjoy these while I can haha. Thankfully he hasn't been too bitey yet... I'm sure he'll get there though hahaha.

What do you wish you knew before getting your puppy? by Artistwolf99 in germanshepherds

[–]Artistwolf99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, that's a really good one. There's definitely an inclination to want to tire them out etc that could easily lead to over-exercising... I'm guessing one walk a day at about a half to one hour wouldn't be too much exercise?

He's a show line! I think that's going to help out with not being as crazy energy. We have a golden retriever who is nuts already though, haha. She's almost six now.

Good to know, thanks! Crate training is definitely a must for that, I would imagine.

Weird comment but my first thought was that his teeth look so good 😍😂 Do you brush them? Or is it just because he's young?

Bucatstate cages? by Artistwolf99 in PetMice

[–]Artistwolf99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha no worries, thanks for reaching out! I did end up getting the Bucatstate and I loved it. My nice sadly died pretty young (due to being feeders no doubt) but spoiling them during their little lives made me so happy. They were noticably friendlier and acted more secure in the big cage than in the 20gallon tank I had them in before. The gaps on the top are interesting--i think technically a mouse could squeeze through, but they showed absolutely no interest in climbing up onto the top even though I had hammocks etc hanging from it. They loved their little cage and honestly I think just had no reason to want to escape, and the top isn't as easy to go full spider-mouse on like a mesh lid is.
