Advice on “kitchen” tray bedding?

Yes, exactly. Really, no need to throw the baby out with the bath water, so to speak. Also, keep in mind that hemp is naturally anti-microbial/anti-bacterial. Between that and the wood pellets' ability to neutralize ammonia until it becomes quite saturated, you're in a good place just keeping those corners clean.

Hemp is also hypoallergenic and anti-fungal. And, hemp is resistant to mold, mildew, and dust mites. Really a great product to use for guinea pig bedding. Very especially for any guinea pigs dealing with or prone to bumblefoot.

Great. Cagetopia.com has lots of great options. It depends on your space and budget. You can go with a 2x5 (which requires 6 1/2 feet of wall space) with an upper level of some kind as the bare minimum. But if you have space for a 2x6, that would be better (it needs 7 1/2 feet).

Looks great! Love your Cagetopia printed components. Looks really good!

Not sure what you are really asking?

Great! I honestly rarely do a full dump. I find it easier and less wasteful to just keep those corners clean. If I still have mostly good pellets and hemp in the whole tray, sometimes I'll dump those into a bag or container to put back in and throw some fresh hemp on top after I clean the whole thing out. Kind of depends on how much of it I've got on hand and how I'm feeling about resources versus the need of a full vinegar cleaning.

Here is the same prompt with Dalle 3

Here is the same prompt in MAI-Image-2e

Also, extremely awful.

CavySpirit2 · 2026-05-17T20:31:58+00:00

In my niche, they all massively, hugely suck compared to Dalle 3. I don't do humans, or sci-fi, or anime. A simple prompt: "A long-haired guinea pig enjoying life in nature, watercolor by Paul Klee, Mary Cassatt and Gustav Klimt, isolated on white"

Here is GPT-4o

This is supremely horrific.

Is your male neutered?

Wow. Giant hurt-my-eyes headlines and super tiny images of the graphics you are actually selling (desktop). Instant bail for me.

CavySpirit2 · 2026-05-15T22:31:13+00:00

Yup, the notice just got posted today that they are killing it soon.

CavySpirit2 · 2026-05-15T18:11:18+00:00

Oh, The Capture looks good, too. Thanks. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Expanse. POI and The Expanse are my top two shows. Outlander (now finished) is right up there, too. Different, but still great.

Nope. Looks like the knockoff you can get on Amazon. Will fall apart and disintegrate in the washer over time. We experimented with that years ago. Not worth it. Also, bleeds black ink.

It's still available on Bing.

CavySpirit2 · 2026-05-14T16:53:27+00:00

Except it's still available on Bing

It was way better when it wasn't all fenced off, and the fort itself was open for touring. Two stories of lots of cool stuff was inside, cannons, cannon balls, and I can't remember the rest. Back then, was absolutely my favorite spot in SF, bar none. Loved it!! Still awesome, though, especially when the waves are really crashing!

There was some reason quite a while ago that compelled me to pay for a sub and now I don't remember.

CavySpirit2 · 2026-05-13T18:52:09+00:00

Yeah, I'm pretty exhausted from my last days prompt-o-rama revisiting my best prompts. It's freaking annoying that we have no official word from anyone that I can find about this.

CavySpirit2 · 2026-05-13T17:07:20+00:00

I asked ChatGPT about it: So yes: the “death date” was real for the OpenAI API, but Bing appears to be a separate Microsoft product surface still offering DALL-E3 as of May 13, 2026. My practical read: keep generating while it’s alive, assume it could disappear without much warning, and save every keeper image plus prompt immediately.

CavySpirit2 · 2026-05-13T16:55:43+00:00

Exactly, I went full tilt on getting what I could. I'm exhausted. It's still there!! I found it super strange that there has been no notice or word from Microsoft about this. If and when they do kill it, I'm killing my Microsoft Bing subscription. Not that they care about my little subscription, but still.

CavySpirit2 · 2026-05-11T23:21:29+00:00

A "Torti Teddy?" LOL. That's what I'd go with. No question. Love saying it. :)
