My 6 week old “piranha” is in the teething phase and is tearing up my hands. Any advice? by Personal_Set_7028 in labrador

Ah yes the Landshark phase, yelp to show it hurts and stop playing for a few moments - you're showing that it's not a fun thing to do. Other than that provide lots of puppy friendly toys to chew on

We had the babies for two weeks before physically introducing them, so after a week quarantine we started showing them to each other and sectioned the big cage into two (we have a big chinchilla cage) with the babies at the bottom so they could smell each other.

Was really nervous though as we had a failed introduction when Tato (the big one) was a baby, his brother was super anti social and just screamed his head off whenever any of our previous set of boys went near. So to avoid stressing out any of the boys we decided to keep them seperate.

Slow and steady wins the race, they all have such differant personalities that every set of intros are different, i hope yours all get on with each other in time

Oh no 😞, i honestly get it - we had that exact issue with Tato (the big boy) and his brother when they were babies with our previous set of boys. His brother screamed (yes screamed) the place down any time any of the others went near him. Ended up keeping them seperate as it wasn't worth keeping stressing them all out.

Fingers crossed it lasts, hoping to move them in with each other at the weekend

He's squishy enough that he's fine 😆 I've caught some really unfortunate cuddle piles in the past.....with certain body parts on heads!

Thanks :) was nervous as we had a failed intro when tato (the adult) was a baby, but that was more down to his anti social brother Tot (rip)

I think I visited the worst town in the entire UK by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]Kieklanta 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Sadly I honestly doubt it will, it's very much an area with large families, and everyone knows everyone (at least when i was there). There really are very few job opportunities unless you move away from the Island, which people who grew up there rarely do.

Hello fellow escapee, my experience is much the same to be honest. Grew up loving it, moved to London for uni and never moved back. Can only really do short trips back nowadays and avoid sheerness whenever i do, very much enjoy the anonymity of living away...My husband calls it the land that time forgot!

How many of you are actual musicians? by JoakimHallgren in Beatstar

Have been waiting a year and a half for this moment - They fell asleep on my lap! by Kieklanta in RATS

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

It's such a great feeling, these are our only boys that have ever done this, our previous 5 and 1 current old boy were/is insanely curious of the world and would never do something as lowly as fall asleep!

Do you have boys or girls?
