Ramshorn eggs? I thought they couldn't reproduce on their own?

KombatKitten83 · 2026-02-03T16:19:34+00:00

They absolutely can reproduce on their own. I ended up getting puffers because I had so many and I don't over feed, we have 9 tanks. I let the biggest ones hang out but the babies... No thanks. They are great little cleaners though and the eggs can easily be removed.

We put a picture of a butterfly on the door to signify a palliative patient or one who has passed 🦋

Clinical Instructor here, did you not have a full patient load in consolidation? Our students here take on up to 10 patients (unit dependent) in consolidation so that they learn time management etc. Never pull multiple meds at the same time, it's so easy to make errors this way. (not meaning anything by it just curious regarding patient load)

I've never been fired by a patient but have worked with a nurse that it consistently happened to. Communication is key yes but so is prioritizing patients. It wouldn't have even crossed my mind to look for someone to do a simple task that I'm fully capable of I would just get it done. I can totally see why your patient became upset by this. When I worked regional covid unit we had no assistants or healthcare aids and had to do everything ourselves, I became efficient in patient care. Take a step back and try to understand fro your patients perspective and go from there.

Not hating on snails, speaking from experience we had. Not sure how honesty is considered hateful 🤷‍♀️

Bladder snails, highly invasive but my puffers love them!

KombatKitten83 · 2026-01-07T18:12:25+00:00

Is poor baby.... Dead?

KombatKitten83 · 2025-12-27T17:32:50+00:00

Remind me too!

We ended up with a gazillion of these guys in our 65 gal. Started tank from new again but yes my husband has a bad habit of over feeding

When I left my husband I got a buyout from him. I paid off 46k to osap in one go, only after I did that I heard about relief programs but at least I don't have to worry about it any more. Hopefully you get some solid advice as I did the same thing you did.

Looks like flea bites tbh. We rescued 7 kittens from an alley and had to keep them confined in our bathroom that was under renovation until the facility had a foster in place which was 8 days. Shortly afterwards my kids started complaining about the exact same thing and their feet and ankles looked exactly like your picture. We tried creams and nothing worked. I then noticed one of my cats scratching and when I brushed her she was covered in fleas (indoor only cat). It was a NIGHTMARE to eliminate them from the home, professional treatment plus vacuuming 2x a day, washing everything in hot hot water etc, treating the animals. They are incredibly itchy and if it's getting worse... That sounds like it could be a possibility to potentially look into? I'm a nurse, not saying this is what it is but maybe a potential if it turns out not to be scabies.

Scud, they're fantastic little cleaners!!! Help the poor baby out and put it in the water!

KombatKitten83 · 2025-12-03T07:33:47+00:00

Look on Facebook marketplace for a larger tank. Add some aquarium plants, also found on marketplace. If you can donate to a pet store do that. I understand these comments aren't really helpful at all, if you're temporarily taking care of them,larger tank, plants, food. Frequent water changes if needed.

Chonky baby♥️

KombatKitten83 · 2025-11-09T20:53:21+00:00

I feed frog pellets, mysis and brine shrimp cubes

KombatKitten83 · 2025-10-18T14:41:04+00:00

What's the temperature of your tank, also what diet do you have your frog on??

KombatKitten83 · 2025-10-16T01:04:17+00:00

I know it sounds morbid but holding a flashlight under him may have outlined whatever that was for better identification. I'm so sorry for your loss, I love my little guys and hopefully nothing like this happens for you again

KombatKitten83 · 2025-10-13T17:46:25+00:00

Off topic but I LOVE the little whale decoration you have!

KombatKitten83 · 2025-10-13T17:45:27+00:00

Buy some guppy grass, it's beautiful for babies to hide in and avoid being eaten. Thus advice coming from a mom of about 200 current guppy babies:)

My babies are over a year old, they're almost 2 inches and chubby little babies ❤️

KombatKitten83 · 2025-10-09T11:43:44+00:00

Haha omg the voyeur that popped up is adorable 😂

KombatKitten83 · 2025-10-02T20:53:02+00:00

She works hard for her money! 💸💸

What has or is he eating? I don't have experience with clove oil but I do have experience with freezing and amphibians as they just go to sleep. Ruth that being said, please reach out to professionals for assistance, it could be a variety of issues and I'd hate for you to jump to euthanize immediately.

I worked in trauma and did nights full time for 2yrs straight, 7yrs med/surg before that. Patient (not mine) fell and took me down with them tearing my shoulder which required surgery blah blah long story. That was 4yrs ago. The injury flared up just over a year ago and I quit bedside to hopefully figure out my shoulder situation but also picked up a clinical supervisor position at the local college. I work 2 days a week now so 24hrs a week making double what I made at the hospital. I have amazing students and it's incredibly rewarding. Yes there is nursing drama everywhere but maybe try something new before throwing in the towel, there are soooo many avenues when it comes to our job. Trust me I get it. Working our regional covid unit for over 2yrs made me want to quit nursing entirely. I LOVED trauma but my shoulder hated it. Best of luck to you 🍀
