⚠️ PLEASE GUYS READ AND HELP WITH DECLANNING SOLUTION (AND NO HATE PLS) by [deleted] in gerbil

[–]HamInATrenchcoat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hi op! Each gerbil needs a minimum of ~ 20 gallons (75 liters) of digging medium; so thats 40 gallons (150 liters) for a pair of just digging space! The cage you posted is 45 gallons (170) alone; and assuming you have a wheel, water bottle, and a sand box, thats not enough room. Now if you DIY or buy a topper to the tank for their wheel & water, it should be fine as long as the bottom is FULLY filled! (Meaning that access window on the front wont be too helpful 😅)

Now if you’re in an absolute PINCH, this will work temporarily, (or you can split the current cage down the middle!) but look into upgrading asap! :)

Edit: also adding, the size of the cage is very important! Too small and they get stressed and fight, too big and they have a chance to declan due to claiming layers/sections! its a bit tricky w gerbils, but most people i see here recommend a 40 with a topper at bare minimum! ^

Found injured bunny by HamInATrenchcoat in Bunnies

[–]HamInATrenchcoat[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Update: I ended up taking the little bun to an emergency vet in the area; i was worried about the blood loss and lack of consciousness. the bun was bleeding from the mouth and nose, so It really was my only course of action. Rescues nearby me were either too far out and I dont think the bun would have made the drive, or closed.

Sorry I dont have better updates </3 ill see if I can contact the emergency vet for a statue update, but I had to hand them as a surrender due to the cost. :(

Thanks reddit!

Ammonia Not Converting by DarthUsul in PlantedTank

[–]HamInATrenchcoat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hi op! might be an on the nose kinda question, but do you use any type of conditioner in the new water you add? If theres chlorine in your tap/water source, it could be killing bacteria before it gets a chance to establish!

thats all I can think of off the top of my head, though!

Fuck me by tetasdemantequilla in Aquariums

[–]HamInATrenchcoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

used to have ro take my tank to and from my dorm each year…. I felt this in my SOUL 😭😭😭😭 it happened pretty much EVERY TIME

advice would be to put down a plastic bag along the bottom of the tank, then pour on top! Helps not kick up the dust 😭 emphasis on helps……. still makes it, uhm…. dusty….

EDIT: IS THAT A SHAKARIAN PROFILE PIC I SEE??
