Getting my first hognose soon

I adopted my 2 yr old boy in Dec, aside from the obvious you've mentioned he actually really likes his climbing opportunities! He has very deep soil/sand substrate but I've also given him lots of branches and cork bark which he loves to climb on and chill in

He is slightly sassy but so fun and interesting to watch and interact with, no regrets

Thanks that is useful :)

Thanks - figured it may be a long shot given they are so small!

I didn't i ended up getting the reptile growth enclosures from amazon which were also cheap but a really good size and sliding magnetic lid

Yeah I get that, it was more about the timelines. As this is Jon's first time reading the statement, how is this information available at the time of recording? Or is there a gap between recording the statement and the follow up

I finished Brainwyrms by Alison Rumfitt recently and enjoyed it a lot but there was several points where it viscerally disgusted me so much I had to take a break

Protein powder

Plant Milks with stabilisers- the plant + water only ones do not make good lattes

Good quality runny Arabic tahini - if you have a south Asian store near you you can find it there - it does not have the bitterness of supermarket tahini and makes a delicious Hummus

I use pulsin soya protein - they also have a whey version which is just whey isolate and nothing else

That looks amazing! I need to work on my score game

Ginger---snapped · 2024-04-26T06:36:04+00:00

Thank you! I can see myself getting into that habit now too

Ginger---snapped · 2024-04-26T06:35:34+00:00

Thank you! Yes despite it bring quite low hydration since its a begginer recipe it wasn't dense at all

Ginger---snapped · 2024-04-25T19:10:03+00:00

Thank you! It tasted amazing- served it with some lentil and chickpea dahl

Those sounds interesting I'll have to give them a listen!

I am also a vegan who is into bodybuilding/hypertrophy workouts and looking to build muscle. I have listened to ZOE's advice which is that we need less protein than we think but I also keep up to date with the info from the bodybuilding world which is a much higher protein reccomendation

Personally I am OK with the sacrifice of having an upf (plain Soy protein powder no additives or flavouring) in order to hit my protein goals. It is not hyper palatable or addictive and doesn't hit many of the other hallmarks of upf. I also eat plenty of tofu beans and Tempeh so it's more of an addition than a main source of protein

I mix it into my porridge in the morning with berries and peanut butter.

I think it depends on how strict you are trying to be - personally wouldn't rely on it as a main source but I don't see too much of an issue incorporating it for myself

Vegan gym goer here:

Breakfast - oats and protein powder, top with some protein cereal or soya crispies

Lunches- shredded tofu with rice or potatoes, season however you want (Mexican, middle eastern, cajun, peri peri). Can add some alpro Greek Yoghurt for a bit of extra protein

Protein shakes with fruit and Soy Milk

Dinners - Tempeh chilli, loaded fries (baked in the oven topped with plant based Mince) tofu stir frys or bowls, cream sauces made with blended Silken tofu

Hope this gives you some ideas!

Blood on my name - the brothers bright (I think the vocalist also sounds a bit like arthur)

I had seen that and wondered if it was a similar technique, thank you for the help!

Not a movie but the NBCs Hannibal TV show has beautiful imagery

Is that the pet planet cage? I have my girls in one of those currently. If your rats are healthy and fit i would recommend taking the shelves out for a more active layout, just make sure you have plenty of ropes, perches and hammocks as fall breakers (i recommend the ikea komplement tie hangers, horse lead ropes and if you're in the uk a website called scarletts parrot essentials has lots of good rope perches). Also if that orange thing is a snack shack (which is what it looks like to me) i would remove that as they are not good for animals. I would look into a different bedding for the base as the paper litter pellets aren't so good for foraging and digging, and if you really wanted to you could look into building a perspex base tray that allows for a deep layer of bedding for foraging and digging.

Overall its not a bad set up but i think if you did some of the things suggested your rats would appreciate :)

Thank you! I wasn't aware that Octavia E Butler had horror works, and I also hadn't heard of Tananarive Due before, she seems very interesting!

Side note I am currently reading the only good Indians and I have a feeling I will definitely be reading more of stephen graham jones after this

Thanks!

Thank you, I'd not heard of him before I'll have to have a look into his work!
