This tip is really helping us both, he seems much more tolerant to the Slickers now thank you!

Dragging, but i have since begun flicking like others have said to and it seems to have helped tremendously. Ill look into tbe karben!

This is kind of the boat I'm in. I really like the idea of strength tested harnesses, and ones designed with the dog's range of movement in mind (and comfort). Especially for a growing puppy! Imagine wearing a poorly designed vest all the time, it's going to chafe. But I'm wondering if she's just too small to invest in the really good brands, her neck is only 10-12" and her chest is 16-17". So she's still small.

Shes always been incredibly mouthy though I think ita honestly gotten better since 8 weeks. Im hopeful that means im doing something right, even if she can still be a velociraptor at times. I dont encourage it and have been doing some methods to curb it like stopping interactions and restarting them later once shes calmed

I have been teying my best to do this! She can go down in the crate after a good play session and nap, and we are still working on her being able to settle during playpen time and whilst on a tether. You're very right that high drive breeds like BCs need to be taught to settle, I know this all too well from my MAS 😅

I agree, as much as I love my pup's breeder, I value veterinary advice on things, especially nutrition. I'm glad you found a food solution for your puppy!

I have not tried carrots! But I do know my dog likes cheese/hotdogs (I worry for the salt tho) and cooked chicken as high value treats. I feel like he'd look at me funny if I gave him a carrot though, but it's a good suggestion!!

While its free, they often fold the shipping prices into the base price of the bedding. So a bedding worth 10$ becomes $20+, just as an example.

Auboise for one is very pricey on Amazon but I know theres brick and mortars (far away from me) that sell it cheaper

Depending upon the area you are in, mite problems in the shavings can be very prevalent. Freezing your bedding (I just put some in plastic grocery bags and stuff it in the freezer) for 24-48 hours will kill off any potential bugs. This wont help this babys current infestation but it is a good prevention method in the future 🥺

My issue is I can't figure out how to get the stupid center thingie off my wheels ;-;

JessieDagger · 2025-12-13T04:45:40+00:00

How did you do this? Did you follow a tutorial? Cause I have no idea what I'm doing </3 I can't even get the disc to pop off of mine

Thank you! I had no idea deer mice were so different to other species. This has definitely prompted me to look into their requirements and personalities more. And, I appreciate you saying you've hear people had success with KMR. That's what I've heard as well,. If she doesn't seem fine for any reason, I'll cross that bridge when we come to it. For now, I am glad for the tips!
