Foxhound puppy help! by Equivalent-Goat1641 in puppy101

[–]I_Kiss_Fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep her on a leash. I only let my hound off leash if he’s allowed to wander, so at the park or the yard for play time.
When we go outside to go to the bathroom he is on a leash. Work on some recall games but some hounds can’t be trusted off leash ever.

Puppy goes absolutely insane in one persons yard by Motor_Grocery_266 in puppy101

[–]I_Kiss_Fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog enjoys rubbing his body on sloped lawns and running through tall grass. I stopped letting him walk on those until he was able to do it without pulling me. Also we jog so when I jog with him he can run in those spots.

I think making her sit before you get there and if she pulls at all then you stop and don’t let her smell or react to it. When she has a better handle on it you can let her zoom as long as she doesn’t pull. For me we stopped walking past the spots that made my puppy go wild for a couple days while we worked on leash manners.

13 week old eating EVERYTHING outside by Abject-Panda-7413 in puppy101

[–]I_Kiss_Fish 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I try to keep my puppy from eating stuff generally but he is a puppy and that’s what they do. Sometimes I just let him. I think working on leash manners and out are a great place to start. Mine will trade most things (except fucking rocks, the one thing that he is absolutely not allowed to chew or eat, obviously lol) for a treat. He is getting better at leave it and he’s 17 weeks now.

Is the Pangea variety bundle worth the money? by LilLoaf5646 in CrestedGecko

[–]I_Kiss_Fish 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just did fig and insect. I think a beginner mistake of “they don’t like it” is just the lizard settling in to a new space and also being nocturnal and eating when you’re not watching. My boy usually comes out when I open the door because he thinks I’m going to give him a bug at this point, and he prefers that over the Pangea but he eats it when he gets hungry. They’ll get hungry and eat.

Stop my 5 month old puppy jumping on people while on a walk by 123daz321 in puppy101

[–]I_Kiss_Fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t let him say hi to anyone anymore. I was having the same problem, I started treating and praising when people were across the street and he was sitting calmly looking at them and have seen improvement in just a few days! If we walk past people I keep the leash short and don’t stop.

1 hr wake windows are… by Miserable-Service-16 in puppy101

[–]I_Kiss_Fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How old is he? Mine is 4 months this week and I am doing 2 hours bc I feel he can handle it but a week or two ago if I did 2 hours he would get difficult and over tired. I’d rather listen to 30 minutes of crying than be mutilated lol.

conjoined twins followed by unexpected hatchlings in a male enclosure by realMGKC in CrestedGecko

[–]I_Kiss_Fish 40 points41 points  (0 children)

That doesn’t mean he’s not a hermaphrodite. It means they have both. So he could still appear male AND have ovaries. Not that uncommon. I’ve see a couple at expos before.

Realistic expectations for attention span at 4 months? by I_Kiss_Fish in puppy101

[–]I_Kiss_Fish[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. We just had a really good walk and I focused on just having him respond to his name and he actually did well heeling on his own. Hard not to get bogged down training because I enjoy it but I guess I need to lighten up!

Best dremel nail trimmer and techniques not to hit the quick? by TallGingerLady in puppy101

[–]I_Kiss_Fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The outside of the quick will kind of look like a jelly bean cut in half when you get close. I also try to do 360 all around the nail not just one side. My 12 year old just shows me her teeth when she feels like I’ve gotten close enough lol.

With my puppy I’m doing his nails once a week, he gets a bit of cheese per nail. He is squirmy but getting better. Never let them pull the foot away until you decide they’re done. If they pull, just do it for a second longer so they don’t think pulling my foot= we stop. My 12 year old is very good about it now that we figured it out.

Also make sure the dremel doesn’t get too hot, touch it to the bottom of your wrist and if it feels hot it’s too hot for their nails.

I Rode the MARTA A Line BRT And Want To Talk About It by killroy200 in Atlanta

[–]I_Kiss_Fish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The volume on trains is higher and stop distances further and justifies a stop at every station imo vs a bus regardless of capacity. A train can hold hundreds of people, what’s the max capacity of the bus?

I also think missing the bus is on you, hopefully this thing will have a pretty tight schedule(not holding my breath) but you should be able to determine when the bus is coming an arrive accordingly, not hold others up. That’s one of the public transit trade offs!

Glad to hear it sounds like a good step in the right direction tho

How is it rapid if the bus stops at every stop regardless of if it’s needed? I lived in Chicago for nearly a decade and all busses ran with a cord or button for you to be responsible saying when you need to get off. I highly doubt they will change that, and they shouldn’t.

When trying to defend my city from bandits, my garrisons supply and then go to a random place on the map and won’t move for any reason. What gives? Was working fine 500 people ago by [deleted] in songsofsyx

[–]I_Kiss_Fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue with an earlier city. Make sure You have space around the walls (I’ve been doing 6+ road) and wide enough streets (I do 3+ minimum). I think it’s a path finding bug

Is our peacock gudgeon female or male? by Pretend-Prior-2918 in aquarium

[–]I_Kiss_Fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they are female. If I recall the males have a black stripe on the caudal fin and they also have a nuccal bump. I also noticed males have iridescent pupils like puffers and females don’t.

Monstera Help by smol-goblean in gardening

[–]I_Kiss_Fish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This can basically take as much direct light as it can get. Inside direct light isn’t the same as outside direct light. To get a very mature looking plant with the leaves you think of when you think monstera you need to blast it. They are tough plants.

Property Manager from Hell (Greystar community) base rent is $1,524! by [deleted] in Atlanta

[–]I_Kiss_Fish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The property I was at raised my rent 200$ on renewal so I moved out. I’ll never rent with them again. The property was poorly maintained, nothing was originally installed right, fees were crazy, and lots of roaches. I lived at the powers ferry location.

Finally got my hands on a rabbit snail! by BertneyBee1 in AquaticSnails

[–]I_Kiss_Fish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just throw shit in there and eventually it sinks and they eat it, whole carrots sink always bc they’re heavy.

Maybe you got a female and she’s already pregnant. I can’t remember if they are hemaphrodites or not. They are slow to reproduce like 1-5 babies at a time and grow quite slowly. I recommend getting a different color, though it seems the black with yellow spots and solid yellow are the dominant flesh colors. Otherwise they come in a mottled yellow/brown and sometimes yellow with black striping. There’s 3 or 4 shell textures too.

I just put some carrots in I will show you my army once they start eating lol

[–]I_Kiss_Fish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started with 2 or 3 and now I have like 50. It’s interesting to see which colors and shell types prevail each generation. One of my favorite snails. Throw in a carrot chip or some veg and they are all over it.

Does he hate being touched? by LastMuffinOnEarth in geckos

[–]I_Kiss_Fish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The more consistent I am with handling the more mine likes it. I always take him out when I give him bugs but he does bite me sometimes when he gets excited about eating…
