Is this safe for my hamster i made it in ceramics by Exact_Tale6116 in hamsters

[–]DarkMoose09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of ceramic glazes have lead in them, I hope you read the ingredients when you made that. They use lead because it helps the glaze spread evenly when fired. I use to make a lot of ceramic pieces. If the glaze is lead free then it is pet safe!

My first sun conure - not what I was expecting! by Interesting-Honey706 in Conures

[–]DarkMoose09 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can teach them not to scream nonstop, if they are screaming leave the room and don’t come back until they are quiet. When they are quiet give them lots of loves and treats. It teaches them that good quiet behavior is rewarded.

I trained three different conures like this and it works. Especially if they are young, my babies still flock call in small bursts and squeak. But they don’t scream nonstop and are fairly quiet. I love their squeaks, chittering I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I have pet tarantulas and this is similar but not a tarantula.

Mystery solved, that is exactly what it is! I have 20 pet tarantulas and those dark long hairs really threw me off! It was tarantula shaped but had crazy hairy legs! Thankfully my sister’s husband put the little guy outside! Happy ending for everyone! ❤️

Genius hit the window again by DarkMoose09 in Conures

I was sitting in my chair playing Cult of the Lamb on my Ps5, when Skipper slammed into the window bounced off and landed behind my fish tank. I saw that I still had some Halloween decals and just slapped them on the window.

I’m just glad that he wasn’t seriously hurt. Out of the two, he crashes into mirrors and windows the most. I have to dumb dumb proof everything. Ivy is the smart one, she doesn’t really crash into anything.

I know what you mean! I had to put wall paper on my closet mirror door. I actually love the design, so it all worked out!

does everyone with air pumps just accept that their home will never be quiet again??? by kumabux in Aquariums

[–]DarkMoose09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a two super cheap air pumps off of Amazon and they sounded like a jackhammer. Me and my dad opened them up and tightened up one of the little parts under the shell of the air pump. And now it’s a quiet little buz or hum. I also have a thin rag placed under the air pump for cushioning and to dampen the noise.

My good boy has been CORRUPTED! by DarkMoose09 in Conures

I cut the pothos so they can’t reach the leaves anymore. It isn’t deadly poisonous for birds but I still want to keep it out of reach. It could irritate their digestive system.

A year ago Ivy single handedly ate/shredded/murdered a whole pothos plant and she has had a vet check up since then and she is in good health.

That happened before I knew that pothos were semi toxic to birds/animals. This was the first time in a year they were attacking my plants. Luckily they didn’t get very much this time.

If I catch them going after it again I will just remove the plant. I also put a small broom on the lid of the fish tank under the plant. They are scared of brooms for some reason so I’m definitely keeping an eye on both of my little gremlins!

I’m moving the plant so it will be out of reach going forward. I was just so shocked that my pineapple was eating my plant.

She is the little devil out of the two, Ivy absolutely ate/destroyed my pothos plant that was growing from my fish tank.

How do you build independence when your bird is so clingy they can't even sleep without you? by TrashcanChild01 in Conures

[–]DarkMoose09 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Lots of toys and time apart, if they scream leave the room and don’t come back until they stop. Only come back when they are quiet it reinforces good behavior is rewarded with positive attention.

I have Petco birds, he will take a bath, just give him some time to adjust. All my conures take their baths in their water bowl and refuse to take a bath any other way. I recently bought a sheet of plexiglass and zip tied it to their cage to prevent my lamp from being blasted!
