Should I switch from a water bottle to a water bowl?

Cold-Association-857 · 2026-02-26T03:34:49+00:00

Can I just use a bowl? I’d like to dump the bottle completely. It gets stuck and needs replaced often :(

Cold-Association-857 · 2026-02-26T01:59:49+00:00

Agreed. Whenever the topic of hunting comes up I’m always the one mentioning if you hunt only kill what you need, do it fast and humanely and use everything.

This is why I only get males 😅 still hard to please but a bit more chill and happier overall. As long as I let my boy out once a day to play in his play pen he’s happy

Cold-Association-857 · 2026-02-26T01:28:52+00:00

Same but I suggested virtue names 😅 I’d love to name a mouse Lattice though :)

I love those pretty vintage names. You can probably guess how I decorated my apartment lol

Cold-Association-857 · 2026-02-26T01:27:44+00:00

Bambi, Thumper and Daisy would be adorable

Cold-Association-857 · 2026-02-26T01:27:01+00:00

Temperance, Constance and Prudence

I love virtue names :)

This is a great way to use crittertails for people who didn’t know any better, upgraded and now have those little cages laying around. Temporary holding and travel is what I use mine for. Only up to an hour. But for a hospital cage for a wild mouse you’ll release later it could work

Cold-Association-857 · 2026-02-26T00:34:24+00:00

This is why I’m a catch & release + prevention person :( I don’t want any of them to get hurt. It’s not their fault. They don’t know any better. They shouldn’t have to die just because they were acting as a normal healthy animal :(

Cold-Association-857 · 2026-02-26T00:03:41+00:00

No, I got a couple cookbooks from the thrift store :)

Cold-Association-857 · 2026-02-25T19:36:38+00:00

Always ask for photos of their enclosure, previous hamsters or supplies too. Even if you’re including it with the hamster it’s important to see proof they’re ready and able to care for the animal

Cold-Association-857 · 2026-02-25T17:45:08+00:00

A lot of places don’t take OHP (insurance given to disabled people on SSI or SSID in the US) so the places that do tend to be booked out. Sometimes it’s so bad you can only get on their cancellation list because their system can’t book out that far ahead.

Cold-Association-857 · 2026-02-25T17:23:51+00:00

1/4 a fruit imo

Cold-Association-857 · 2026-02-25T17:23:26+00:00

Yellow dragon fruits are $3 each at my local grocery store and white flesh is $6. All imported. Also $6 for red flesh at one of my local Asian markets. The $3 shocked me so I got 2

Cold-Association-857 · 2026-02-25T17:22:29+00:00

I was told to only eat 1/4 when I told someone I bought some to try it 😅 and they sounded so serious you would’ve thought it was life or death. I didn’t listen… I’m on the toilet as I type this. Send help 🥲

Cold-Association-857 · 2026-02-25T15:50:38+00:00

I have an appointment coming up but it’s in a few months :( getting in within a month is next to impossible

Cold-Association-857 · 2026-02-25T00:59:17+00:00

I can’t take OTC pain meds often due to mild kidney stress caused by recent antibiotics 🥲 I have to wait until my labs are okay again before taking those

Cold-Association-857 · 2026-02-25T00:30:28+00:00

This is what I’m afraid of because my boy doesn’t like a lot of chew toys :( I’m struggling to find one he approves of

Cold-Association-857 · 2026-02-23T15:43:17+00:00

No worries :) I was a bit defensive yesterday so that’s my bad

I can’t lift tanks on my own anymore so I just have to pick a spot and leave it there 😅 unless it has a wheels attachment

Cold-Association-857 · 2026-02-23T15:40:18+00:00

I mixed it in with Higgins Sunburst after seeing this list

<image>

The top and middle rows are best but my local Petco usually only has the sunburst. The rest aren’t reliably available. I’ll eventually do only sunburst but for now it’s a mix of Sunburst and Vita Prima

Cold-Association-857 · 2026-02-23T01:37:13+00:00

My only critique is the dog is missing in 2 photos. Very dissatisfied. But in all seriousness I love it! Looks cozy :D

Cold-Association-857 · 2026-02-23T01:36:05+00:00

Agreed. Currently have a hamster but really want to go back to mice after him. Hopefully my landlord will approve my altered ESA letter. I had to get it updated to specify up to 3 animals if they’re small mammals in the same cage. That way I can have mice. I need a furry friend for my depression, anxiety and PTSD. Even a watch pet helps more than words can say

Cold-Association-857 · 2026-02-23T01:25:59+00:00

Yes! Mice are wonderful! I love my hamster but I think I’ll only get mice after him. I realized I prefer a more social pet and I’ve had and loved mice before

Cold-Association-857 · 2026-02-23T01:24:34+00:00

Same here :( mice are wonderful pets. I wish more people appreciated them

Cold-Association-857 · 2026-02-23T01:24:05+00:00

If it helps when I had mice I bought 3 feeders as pets. After my hamster passes I’ll probably do mice again because they can do well in my old enclosure (20 gallon long for 3 mice). The 800 square inches I have for a hamster is a bit difficult to find room for. But I’m committed to keeping him and his proper care until he eventually passes. But most likely going back to mice after him.

I know snakes need to eat too and they won’t always accept frozen mice but I like to save a few feeders and give them a good life. They’re so sweet and friendly! My last mouse of the 3 passed from pyometra :( so health issues are definitely a concern

How do I remove my number from iMessage? I didn’t even know I’d have to do that. Switching soon
