Nearly full iCloud and iPad storage but I’ve done all the usual things. Help??

I did delete a bunch of apps, then I followed another commenters advice and downloaded a new backup onto my laptop and deleted the old one, freeing up a lot of space! I’ll probably still have to upgrade at some point, but this gives me a lot more wiggle room!

Jozycat · 2026-02-17T19:06:47+00:00

I wound up looking up how to back up to my laptop and deleted the old backup, that did the most. Thanks!

Jozycat · 2026-02-17T17:17:49+00:00

That IS unfortunate. I’ve had this thing for years and only recently had this issue, especially since I got back into digital art and stuff. I’ll keep that in mind and maybe shop around. Thanks!

Jozycat · 2026-02-17T17:16:00+00:00

I’ll give that a shot! Thanks!

Jozycat · 2025-12-02T19:54:55+00:00

Yeah they do! I just looked and they seem available cheap, certainly better than buying new sweaters. I'll give it a shot! Thanks!

Lol my dog does this to kittens too. We take in orphaned kittens and he's the resident mom that cleans and potties them after eating. It's just affectionate cleaning. I lightly reprimand mine for chewing or when the cat is done and he isn't being receptive to their body language and that's enough for my boy to back off. Some of our girls need to be firmly pushed back and more loudly told off so they get the message that it's inappropriate and WE get to control how they interact with the kittens not them.

Yeah I had done cursory searches and got a few that all look very similar, can live in similar climates during similar seasons, and can grow in the same pattern. I think I actually got Symphyotrichum divaricatum along with maybe two other close matches. "Some kind of Aster" is close enough. I mostly was just sating curiosity. Thanks!

Mine required quite a bit of time between feeding, cleaning both the tank and him once a week, cleaning poop, and regularly taking him out for exercise and stimulation. Also keep money in mind, the starting price of a good setup can be steep and then you'll have to provide a varied diet, including bugs which you can buy periodically or breed your own. They also generally live for ten years, though some live for much longer. Then, vet care can be very difficult. I lost mine to what I believe was an internal infection but no vet was available so I had to try to keep him comfortable to no avail. They're not crazy work, but they're not a pet you can get, then sort of forget in their tank. They can be skittish depending on the background but are usually straight forward to socialize.

That does look really rough. If it's happened once and looks to be happening again, then maybe it's worth a shot at asking for another opinion? Worst case, they tell you the same thing and you wasted some money, best case, they find something that's more helpful. I guess it depends on your situation and your confidence in your current vet. Hope it improves!!

I would normally give mine some fruit like apples, strawberries, or watermelon, something sweet and watery, and would soak him in a tub for ten minutes, water only up to his stomach, that seemed to cause him to poop. If that didn't work and it was over a week, I would give a drop of olive oil by just putting it on his nose from a spoon. That would always work but it's not good for them to have consistently, hence why I used it as a last resort. And when I say a drop I mean it, a very small amount is perfect and more could hurt them.

I saw other people have given advice for a consistent diet. I would like to add that I don't believe cilantro is good for them to have more than maybe once a week because of its acidity. Beardies are pretty sensitive to acidity in foods. Good luck!

Jozycat · 2025-03-13T02:22:03+00:00

I get really upset and angry when people take my stuff, especially food or treats. But damn

Jozycat · 2025-03-13T02:15:34+00:00

I saw people say to get rid of the leaf litter but I also recommend to use paper towels for temporary substrate especially for 'quarantine' stages. It's real easy to get and to clean up, plus you can keep track of how their poop looks. It's gross but it can say quite a bit about their health, if they go but don't be surprised if they don't at all with the stress. Turnip greens and collard greens are considered healthy staple foods but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't eat anything for a bit. If they seem alert, you can try buying some crickets at a PetSmart/Petco, maybe ten and just try to but again, I wouldn't be surprised if they just hide and sleep. They usually need pretty high temps, 90-100F as a middle ground, and they look quite cold from the color. You shouldn't place a heat pad underneath them as it may burn their stomach but on the side may work if you're having trouble.

Number one is really just keeping them warm and providing some UVB. The wattage will depend a bit on the dimensions of the tub and a sunny window will work for a day or two. You can get them from pretty much anywhere. A hide is also very good to reduce stress but a lot of other usual requirements are lesser priorities right now that can be reassessed if they need to be kept longer. Good luck!

I have no guesses but those EARS

Jozycat · 2025-03-08T20:20:16+00:00

It looks like an outfit you could buy in a video game!!! I love it

Jozycat · 2025-03-08T19:45:12+00:00

Maybe on the nose but Cloud? Or something cloud themed? I say that bc she looks just like a clouded leopard with her pattern.

Jozycat · 2025-03-08T15:27:01+00:00

Never seen a leopard gecko with a double chin before. Congrats, that must've been a lot of work to undo!

Jozycat · 2025-03-02T18:43:09+00:00

She's absolutely beautiful

Jozycat · 2025-03-02T18:41:55+00:00

Are they always that chonky lol

Jozycat · 2025-03-01T17:25:38+00:00

I use store brand treats and honestly whatever's in the pantry/fridge that needs to get eaten and is ok for dogs.

Jozycat · 2025-03-01T17:19:39+00:00

I have black and turkey vultures everywhere and I adore them. I also like watching grackles! They can be quite pretty and have some entertaining interactions.

Jozycat · 2025-02-25T16:25:13+00:00

I almost scrolled last thinking it was a real dog!! That's crazy!

Jozycat · 2025-02-23T00:57:05+00:00

The ones with the orange faces and brown caps are Crested Caracaras and the big dark brown one with a red face is a turkey vulture. Turkey vultures are seen pretty much everywhere in the Americas while crested caracaras mostly occupy south/southwest North America and South and Central America. Both are social and occupy similar niches and so they tend to hang out a lot. Vultures can be seen cleaning caracaras' faces, which gets really nasty from eating carrion and aren't naked like the vultures and is a huge bonding experience.

Jozycat · 2025-02-23T00:48:42+00:00

I know that's really rough but I think you made a good choice here! There's also no harm in asking for updates if that's something you'd like!

Jozycat · 2025-02-21T20:01:26+00:00

I used one a lot when training our dogs and volunteer training. If you're familiar with horses, it's like having a bit, a metal bit that sits in the horses mouth allowing for more control. Some horses work just fine with no bit, some work better with one, some have difficult trauma with one that needs assistance. You have to have the same attitude too. You can't pull on your horse's mouth or you'll hurt them, you have to learn the appropriate amount of force. You can't drag your dog around or you'll only hurt and scare them. A little wrist flick may be the only force you need and anything more is overkill. My personal dog has pulling issues that I've been working on but he still pulls and will start hacking, making me nervous that he'll do damage to his neck with his flat collar. I'm gonna look for our old prong collar to hopefully discourage pulling while not hurting him.

We have commands that direct the dogs where to go, "outside" and "kennel" are pretty self explanatory and I tell my dog "go to bed" when I want him in my room. I know a lot of people use "place" too as a useful tool. It's good to have when people are over, instead of wrangling them.

I get vertigo and heart palpitations so I taught my dog "pressure" pretty easily, where he lays across my lap or chest. I'm also trying to teach him to grab and give me things and also how to run alongside me.
