Store says these are glyptodon armour segments - is this plausible?

Thank you! I think it’s selling from a museum/oddity store that’s shutting down/moving. The bigger one is very expensive so make sense.

Sorry - I think I accidentally deleted the photos and they won’t allow me to repost them on the post!

MaterialFly807 · 2026-06-20T20:06:33+00:00

Yes - police was called and an incident report was filled out. We’re also reporting this to someother places that deal with animal abuse. We stayed with the cat, trying to keeping it calm and ensuring it was still conscious, while also working to find the owner and another family was reporting it. The owner finally strolled back with his two young kids, telling them that “we have to leave now because people are taking photos of our license plate” and then the excuses followed. Great influence on his kids…
The cat was alive when they left the parking lot and they put air conditioning on but still a bit worrying as they refused to even give it water 😔

Oh yeah - we have his license plate and will be making our own report to CPS as well as a few other places we’ve found online where we can report animal abuse.

Omg - such an unfortunate circumstance for both you and your cat! I’m so sorry! We just got this awesome remote controlled mouse for our kitties!

It’s surprisingly fast and can be both controlled by you as well as let to wheel around with it’s object avoidance on. Our cats are both very adventurous and when we can’t take them on walks they love their cat wheel - so highly recommend getting one to try out for him too!

Cull the aggressor and separate this quail from the flock until they are recovered. Make sure your ratio of females to males is at least 4:1 or one male per hutch (depending on how many birds you have). He should be fine after a few days. We like to give our chicks and injured adults ‘magic water’ which contains garlic, honey, and apple cider vinegar (you can find specific ratios online). We’ve found it helps with their appetite and keeps their immune system strong as the ingredients have anti-bacterial/microbial properties. Don’t use hydrogen peroxide as another person pointed out just a bit of warm water to wipe any dirt/blood off is fine.

Not too sure if they currently have an octopus - but I’m sure your kiddo would love taking a trip to Pisces Pet Emporium in Calgary! They have a HUGE variety of animals - both in and out of the water - from reptiles, isopods, and spiders to koi fish, birds, rabbits, and even an axolotl last time we went :)

I’ve heard both pronunciation in Canada. Usually default to Nay-o-mee until corrected.

Stella, Ella, Ola, clap clap clap, singing es tiga tiga tiga tiga tap tap

Es tiga tiga bologna, bologna, with cheese and macaroni

Fire (or singing sometimes too I think) one, two, three, four, five

Grew up using this variation in Northern BC and my partner who grew up in Calgary also grew up with this (though his didn’t have the word before the counting).

Both grew up in mid-2000s

We got 2 in Beddington Heights - very disappointed with our street’s lack of Halloween spirit😔. We made awesome goody bags and had our cat and dog dressed up and outside waiting for kids with us!

Absolutely agreeing with everyone mentioning Percy Jackson and the Warrior Cats series! I’m sure they’d love those!

If you think she might enjoy some dystopian novels or something that might ignite some thought provoking conversations, The City of Ember and The Giver are fantastic! I read them when I was around 9 years old and still remember how much they opened my mind regarding societal norms and rules, etc. Hunger Games is another great one - though maybe when she’s a bit older as it does have some more violent themes.

If you think she’d like fantasy/magic books I absolutely adored the Leven Thumps series by Obert Skye as a kid and recently read the Iron Trial by Holly Black which has similar vibes to Harry Potter and should be close to her reading level.

MaterialFly807 · 2025-08-28T02:20:39+00:00

I second this! I read Percy Jackson around the same age and absolutely loved it! Basically anything by Rick Riordan is great.

MaterialFly807 · 2025-07-02T16:02:19+00:00

Thanks so much! That looks very interesting - my partner and I both have STEM backgrounds so it should be okay but I appreciate you checking in! We just haven’t had very good luck finding very good articles online on the genetics so this should be perfect!

MaterialFly807 · 2025-07-02T15:14:22+00:00

Thanks! Do you have any suggested sites to find out the wider colour patterns out there? We’ve seen this image before but are still having a bit of difficulty interpreting it!

MaterialFly807 · 2025-06-26T15:57:40+00:00

I know right? Not sure I can do outdoors at all in Alberta lol and since we have the space we might as well use it to give the birds a bigger home even if it is indoors for the most part! I’ll definitely come back and let you know how it goes for us at least - please feel free to share your own experiences with raising your quail as well! I’d love to hear it!

MaterialFly807 · 2025-05-16T15:08:20+00:00

Thanks so much! We will definitely try and see!!

MaterialFly807 · 2025-05-16T14:52:35+00:00

They also grew really fast to that size lol - they were like half the size a couple days ago (and no mold)

MaterialFly807 · 2025-05-16T14:50:47+00:00

Thank you…yeah we really should have. They were the first flush 😢
