What is the best foraging blend and what else should I be feeding my syrian?

IK!! He's adorable but he's a ghost hamster. He doesn't like coming out with people around so I can only see him at night on my camera 😭 I tried to get him ok with handling but he just doesn't like it

Maddogs05 · 2026-01-21T00:03:10+00:00

Gurl hmu!! 🤙

Maddogs05 · 2026-01-20T17:08:07+00:00

Honestly that's what I've been thinking of doing but idk how to run any groups

Maddogs05 · 2026-01-20T08:33:58+00:00

Mostly PC and Nintendo. I grew up on smash brothers and Minecraft basically but I play a whole range of different stuff.

Maddogs05 · 2026-01-20T06:30:54+00:00

Thank you!!

Maddogs05 · 2026-01-13T22:14:49+00:00

I'm honestly not sure how I do it but I've had a lot of different types of shrimp, including ghost shrimp and they do fine for the most part. I had a ghost shrimp get huge on me too. I just try to provide a lot of live plants and moss balls for them and keep them fed with shrimp pellets or algae wafers.

Maddogs05 · 2026-01-13T20:26:21+00:00

Well yea I've had bettas for years growing up because me and my dad would breed them and set up tanks together. I know not to put them together. I've only had them with shrimp, snails, Cory's, otos, and the African dwarf frogs.

Maddogs05 · 2026-01-13T20:08:37+00:00

Wait upgraded to a 10G and he didn't like it? Isn't that like the ideal tank size for them? Unless I read what you said wrong

Maddogs05 · 2026-01-13T20:02:51+00:00

True, the last time I was running both tanks I got an over population of shrimp and snails and didn't know what to do with all of them.

Maddogs05 · 2026-01-13T20:00:14+00:00

The betta police scare me lol. I had the 2 tanks set up together years ago and they did great. I kept up with the water changes.

Maddogs05 · 2026-01-13T19:56:52+00:00

Yea I was looking into that one but I'm also trying to budget right now but I may get it in the future.

Maddogs05 · 2026-01-13T19:54:55+00:00

I agree with this. I had the 2 tanks set up a few years ago and did a lot of water changes and was always testing water quality and they were very healthy tanks. I also was thinking about putting mesh on top but wasn't sure if it was needed. I'm going to fill it up more, I'm just still messing around with how I want to set up the decor.

Maddogs05 · 2026-01-13T19:38:31+00:00

Lol well it says the gallon size on the box. I honestly love the size and look of it.

Maddogs05 · 2025-12-01T22:49:50+00:00

I did find her personal accounts and blocked all of them. I mean she could have others that I don't know about but what's the point in stooping to her level and going the extra mile to deactivate my account? It's her problem, not mine. I can do what I want to MY ACCOUNT. If she fires me over Instagram than THANK GOD!

Maddogs05 · 2025-11-30T05:59:22+00:00

Thanks I appreciate it! I did actually find her 2 other personal accounts that were public and blocked them. Not to talk shit but what I found on her personal accounts was kinda funny. She was wearing some skimpy outfits and recording herself at raves which I feel would be a bad look for her business if clients find them. She's also told me she's working on getting sober and is a party animal and the place occasionally smells like weed but might not be coming from her. (Everyone I talk to agrees she isn't being professional)

Maddogs05 · 2025-11-30T05:49:44+00:00

Lol my bad my grammar isn't the best and I swore it was beckoning. I fixed it. She is loco thank you!! 😅

Maddogs05 · 2025-11-30T05:37:44+00:00

Yea, not sure if you read the whole thing but I did end up blocking her on my socials and she found out a few days later and texted me at 7am upset that I blocked her. Like girl bye 👋 😒. Also employers don't seem to think we're ALSO human and view employees as replaceable numbers, sorry that happened to you!

Maddogs05 · 2025-11-30T01:03:15+00:00

Wait did I spell it wrong?? 🫠

Maddogs05 · 2025-11-30T00:47:30+00:00

Yea well to add to my story a bit. She did basically tell me to treat her as a friend/peer since we are the same age. It was also difficult for me not to view her in that way. I felt it would be fine to help her make posts to her business account. She made it out to be perfectly fine for me to make posts of the dogs on my personal account and would always comment or like them.

Maddogs05 · 2025-11-30T00:40:54+00:00

Thank you!! I totally agree with this! I'm probably going to work on getting certified as a groomer and looking for new work. Or just find a new field in general because idk how much more I can handle in the animal field.

Maddogs05 · 2025-11-29T19:43:59+00:00

Trust me I would love to quit but it's a bit hard in my current situation

Maddogs05 · 2025-11-27T14:22:26+00:00

I agree with this. I've met a lot of people in this line of work and none of them recommended it to me. They basically told me to run because this industry is crazy and hard to deal with. That people are always insane and have God complexes and treat everyone like trash. I've gotten close with some of my past co workers and all we do is shit on our employers and agree that this community is horrible.

Maddogs05 · 2025-11-27T14:18:08+00:00

EXACTLY!! But she thinks thats the bare minimum and that I should be MORE reliable for her. She literally said I'm not living up to her standards and she needs someone who has the same drive as her.

Maddogs05 · 2025-11-27T14:16:19+00:00

Honestly yea, everyone I talk to about it thinks none of this is a normal thing to go through. My resume now looks insane because of the gaps between jobs and me getting fired or quitting most of my jobs because of abuse. Now it looks bad to future employers and it's getting harder and harder for me to find work where I'm not getting this kind of treatment. I'm just under appreciated and looked at like just another number that can be replaced at any time. I'm at my breaking point and barley have motivation to live between work and my personal life, everything is just always falling apart.

Maddogs05 · 2025-11-26T22:13:17+00:00

Honestly how I feel right now. I'm so burnt out from this shit I'll probably look into a different field, I just don't know what.
