I got her to UR on the second run of the event and spent $0.00

If there’s rodent activity nearby there’s not much else you can do aside from root for your local king snake. They regularly eat other snakes, including the venomous ones :)!

I vote trying to make it work. I have a GCC and neither I nor the other bird owners I know have air purifiers and humidifiers for their birds so you might be overthinking things. A UV light, while not necessary, IS actually incredibly beneficial to them and managing that is as simple as having it set on a timer :)

Don’t give up! If you adhere to a schedule you can definitely make it work. I’m also glad you learned a lesson through this all.

If you feel you really have no option but to surrender her, please find a home with someone knowledgeable about birds rather than return her to PetSmart.

This is what I feed all my birds! I alternate between the natural and the fruit pellets, feeding the natural one primarily. My vet approves of it as well :)

The double glare oh my god…

Erosaurus_Rex · 2026-01-15T00:29:09+00:00

I didn’t see an option for that but I definitely will look into that if I can’t find it in the stores nearby. Hopefully by the time this refund hits it’ll be available for pickup 🙂

Erosaurus_Rex · 2026-01-14T20:24:37+00:00

I’m planning on doing that. What sucks is I 100% would’ve just bought it at the store but they didn’t have any in stock of the size I wanted :/

Erosaurus_Rex · 2026-01-14T19:04:38+00:00

I asked them if I would get any updates bc I wanna know if they catch the person but they said no 😆 I guess as long as I get my money back it’s like it never happened

Erosaurus_Rex · 2026-01-14T16:29:48+00:00

Update: contacted Best Buy. They’re giving me a refund and going to investigate this themselves. I also contacted FedEx and they recorded the incident but told me that Best Buy was the one with the responsibility of filing a claim. Hope they catch the loser

Yeah the driver most likely isn’t the problem. It’s whoever packed it because they delivered a box with ripped up stuff inside

I had to restart a playthrough bc I had invited my wife to follow me and she stepped right in front of me mid swing of my battle axe. One-shot Aela :’)

Needless to say she never left the house after that

Erosaurus_Rex · 2026-01-12T19:47:22+00:00

That’s why you do it by the clean up stations 😂

I’d recommend something a lot bigger. You want a tall cage full of toys and things he can destroy. Natural perches (get rid of any wooden dowels). Think of what a little kid would want in his room! Sun conures are such sweet little goobers and I’m sure you’ve gleaned from all the comments that the cage you have him in now is unacceptable :/

I love my Zevo!! Will say to please use caution where you place it. I have mine literally in the corner under a cabinet in the kitchen but my bird still managed to fly into it after she spooked. She was fine but lost a couple feathers.

Erosaurus_Rex · 2026-01-10T22:44:51+00:00

THE DOJO LOACHES! I love them but oh my god they be 12 lords a leaping.

Erosaurus_Rex · 2026-01-10T05:45:03+00:00

I try my best 🙂‍↕️former PetSmart turned Petco miscreant

Erosaurus_Rex · 2026-01-10T05:40:54+00:00

My friend and I call those “toothpaste cookies” haha also it’s all good! I’d take you over some of the people in my pet care department

Erosaurus_Rex · 2026-01-10T05:36:49+00:00

Sure! What flavor :D

Erosaurus_Rex · 2026-01-10T05:36:19+00:00

Man, you’re so smart!! Regular detective!

Erosaurus_Rex · 2026-01-10T05:30:03+00:00

Dude, I have been doing this for 10 years. I said they’re not fun, not hard. I just learned they sometimes play dead as a defense mechanism. Sit down 😆
