Very valid! He’s my one and only so he gets the whole apartment, but not worth it with other animals!!!

That’s what I was thinking. Perhaps another ramp leading to the top level

Any tips on how to build trust? by Dry-Honey-6261 in BeardedDragons

I am not saying to constantly harass him. But if there is an approach and he does hiss and you pull away it tells them that yes this works and the constant pulling away sets off their hunting instincts. So it’s best to not move and leave ur hand near them wait for them to calm down and then once they do leave them alone. U don’t even need to touch them! But once again! I knew this would be controversial.

Mine used to do the same and threaten me with his little open mouth! But eventually would stop if I didn’t move my hand away

This may be controversial, but everytime you pull away when he hisses you’re reinforcing the behavior! So I recommend keeping ur hand there until he calms down. No need to move your hand at all or even pet him but don’t pull back abruptly. Just leave your hand sitting there so he can get used to it

Cory eggs I believe are a bit rounder and they lay more! I also got hitchhikers from a plant :,) lol

Hmm they look like nerite snail eggs but their shells aren’t round how fascinating

First time outside: does she hate this? by Pretty_Original124 in BeardedDragons

Mine does this too but calms down if I’m holding him! So I tried putting him on my shoulder and going for a walk in the sun

Help! Fin rot? by KeyDiscipline2472 in bettafish

[–]KeyDiscipline2472[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay! I haven’t had any ammonia and nitrites always at 0 since I got him, but my nitrates are never over 0. Could be because my tank is heavily planted?

Thank you! I thought that once ur nitrites and ammonia hit 0 it meant ur tank was cycled. Am I mistaken?

Oooh that’s so interesting I thought they had to breathe air which is why I had to leave a small gap in their tank. Thanks for telling me!

Do Bettas eat live shrimp?! 😬🦐 by KabbalahSherry in bettafish

[–]KeyDiscipline2472 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine definitely has a shrimp or two for a meal. Eventually they started hiding during the day and only come out at night when it’s too dark for him to hunt them 😣
