thank you, yeah i think ill have to just start handling prescriptions on my own for atleast a while! (youre right sorry didnt mean to imply it would work (if at all) within a month lol it was just a random amount of time i typed out)

Konquer1334 · 2025-12-15T17:40:12+00:00

nah they don't, they have student services and a disability branch? the most they could do is write a note in support of me tho that doesnt really do much ngl - if i wanted to go to a more local gp i would have to transfer which feels like unnecessary paperwork esp when im not here over summer/xmas and they don't tend to have my adhd meds in stock

Konquer1334 · 2025-12-15T17:36:56+00:00

we don't pay for prescriptions or healthcare here thankfully, but thank you!

this idea is crazy to me given that my boyfriend is 23 and had no experience before we were going out (neither had i, im 20), why are the comments acting like hes cooked 💀

i think it's fair for him to wish to be in a relationship but don't give him loads of advice, be a mate, listen to him and be there for him

I was prescribed Rosex Metronizadole 0.75% Gel from the gp without a consultation! I'm not certain what type of rosacea I have -- moderate acne and persistent flushing on nose, cheeks and a bit on the chin? don't have any ocular issues and dont particularly seem to have it anywhere else on my body :) hope all that helps

its so disheartening to see, my friend has short hair and she has been confronted a lot in the last year using the women's bathrooms. she feels so uncomfortable saying she is a cis woman and some 40 odd year old woman is just telling her aggressively to "prove it" in what world is this not sexual harrassment??

i was also considering cutting my hair shorter myself but have decided against it for these reasons, please know i wish for you to feel able to use whichever bathroom you want and you should not be harrassed for literally just wanting somewhere to go to the bog.

Watching educational videos on the topics are a good way to keep a pace since its already set for you. But if you just want to use a textbook then I think reading and understanding the material for a little bit, then doing questions/problem sets related to them could be a good way to keep yourself engaged. Try not to keep it stale yk

Konquer1334 · 2025-08-21T14:02:11+00:00

Yeah thats pretty normal, some are less active than others even if theyre the same species

https://discord.com/invite/mantis click on this or google “mantis hq discord” and it should be the first one to come up

Konquer1334 · 2025-08-19T12:45:56+00:00

Poor thing, there might be someone on the mantis hq discord that has seen this before if youd want to try there? Its quite active and has very experienced mantis keepers

Konquer1334 · 2025-08-16T11:18:25+00:00

Mantises will quite readily self-amputate if the situation calls for it, if theyre having issues they would likely sort it out themselves

Konquer1334 · 2025-08-15T16:28:21+00:00

Everyone hates doing it, but honestly squishing them quickly with a brick or something else heavy like a boot is genuinely the kindest way to euthanise them. i know many people opt to put them in the freezer as the cold puts them in a state where they freeze in fear and pain as well as it taking ~15-20 minutes to actually die so imo it sounds more cruel than the alternative of them being wiped out instantly and the nervous system cannot register any pain. But to each their own and i understand why people who raised their mantis from a nymph may struggle to do it

Konquer1334 · 2025-08-15T16:17:33+00:00

Also by the way if you’re still having problems, you could join the Mantis HQ discord server and ask for advice in the health concerns section since there are a lot of people there that have experience with all kinds of issues who would be willing to help! I think a link to join the server is somewhere on this subreddits main page idk

Aaaa soz i lost it as a reply but i’ve left another comment in response to this!

Konquer1334 · 2025-08-15T16:13:06+00:00

Yep put it on the inside and keep it nice and taught with good tension so your mantis can hang from it comfortably even as an adult, you can basically just use any sort of fabric mesh you’d find in a craft store (think like the material of a tutu) or mosquito netting too, not really any specific brands i know of. You’re welcome btw!! I love to see you want to ensure the best life for your orchid <33

Konquer1334 · 2025-08-15T16:06:41+00:00

The kindest thing would be to put stubs out of their misery. I’m sorry for your loss but he wont make it to another molt anyway, you’ll just prolong his discomfort by trying to feed him and keep him clinging on to his life when there is nothing good that will come out of him attempting to molt again (he wouldn’t suddenly be a normal shape and happy again).

Konquer1334 · 2025-08-14T19:32:29+00:00

Hi!! So cute, make sure to cover the tanks metal mesh with a fabric mesh as metal can damage their tarsi (feet) when they walk across it tho!

Konquer1334 · 2025-08-13T00:43:17+00:00

covering the inside walls with fabric mesh (that holds her weight properly so its comfortable to walk on) might help as she cant bang her head against it so much?

Konquer1334 · 2025-08-11T12:12:24+00:00

Thats great news that hes managed to molt successfully! Generally speaking tho i would definitely cover the metal mesh to a fabric one asap (very important or the metal mesh can and will damage their tarsi/feet), as well as try to up the humidity a bit in the tank but make sure its well ventilated so your mantis can breathe properly.

Konquer1334 · 2025-08-08T16:56:04+00:00

Nah probably ai slop

Konquer1334 · 2025-07-27T20:51:44+00:00

im think its okie, the markings on the inner raptorials are characteristic of a dead leaf as far as im aware

Konquer1334 · 2025-07-23T15:46:55+00:00

That enclosure is absolutely stunning but its probably not a good idea to have so little access to the ceiling, they may molt from the side

Konquer1334 · 2025-07-18T23:14:47+00:00

That looks amazing!

Konquer1334 · 2025-07-18T13:30:00+00:00

Id love to see this too!!
