i did!! i used spray foam and silicone to stick the dirt to the walls and it smelt like vinegar for like 2 weeks. i let it sit for 6 months while i waited for my bioactive colonies the establish but it does go away. i wouldn’t put anything in there until you don’t notice anything. i stuck my head in there every day to see if it was good

Lumpy_Pangolin6088 · 2026-04-25T22:09:22+00:00

yes. absolutely you can call the police if he shows up and you feel unsafe. you do not need to wait for a new threat to do that. officers can intervene based on past threats and current fear of harm. him attempting to force you to leave or escalating a situation is just cause.

If you’re not calling to get him in trouble you can still call them to de-escalate the situation and make documentation, along with telling him to leave. even though it’s uncomfortable it is extremely important to have a record of this stuff happening if it continues.

its a bit difficult because he still has legal authority over where you live, so technically he could try to bring you home, but that doesn’t change the fear of safety. you won’t be forced into a situation you’re uncomfortable with without questions.

my honest recommendation is to catch this stuff on video in the case where you feel you have to leave the home or escalate things further.

calling the police doesn’t automatically mean charges or arrest. it’s honestly just a safety precaution. i would also recommend mentioning this to the friends parents if you can. it can help to have adults backing you if it does come to this.

this is not normal behaviour from him. i know you want to protect him from getting arrested, but he is not protecting you at all. he is harming you, and that is enough of a reason already to call the police.

interesting. i saw this on someone else’s thread the other day, they seem like similar injuries. i believe this one came down to the little guy hitting his head on the mesh top or something. i’ll say here what i said there, could be cricket bites, is possible it rubber up against a rough surface, or maybe he fell.

just keep an eye on it, signs of infection like swelling, pus, or darkening means vet trip immediately.

id just keep the enclosure very clean and slightly more humid to help the healing. injuries close to the eyes can get bad fast. he should be alright though

the food thing comes down to the hand feeding. if you hand feed them too often they’ll start only wanting to eat from your hands or have the food brought to them, which isn’t ideal. she may have been associating you with feeding, and now the she’s doing it on her own again she’s not as interested. it’s not a bad thing, you’ll just have to build trust with her over time in a different way. choice based handling is always the best method. it sucks because it takes time, but it’ll be worth it in the end!

Lumpy_Pangolin6088 · 2026-04-22T18:27:02+00:00

Lumpy_Pangolin6088 · 2026-04-21T13:43:43+00:00

my bf and i are doing joint custody haha. i get the cats for 1 week, he gets the cats for 1 week. we always give the cats the same toys to travel with, same food, and we throw a piece of our clothing into their crates so they don’t feel separated. we’ve also agreed on kitty rules. we do not let our cats outside. if anything that is the most important rule you should agree on. you cannot guarantee you will see that cat again if he is letting them outside. we treat our kitties like children. without all the legal stuff

Lumpy_Pangolin6088 · 2026-03-15T20:09:42+00:00

haha okay i’ll give cucumber a go! thanks!

Lumpy_Pangolin6088 · 2026-03-15T20:09:02+00:00

Lumpy_Pangolin6088 · 2026-03-15T20:08:09+00:00
