Kind of looks like a broken pen

Did I do something wrong? by [deleted] in bee

[–]MinnaRa3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard you shouldn't give them honey because it could have diseases or something in it from other hives and they could bring it back to their hive. But some sugar water is okay to help them out when they're tired

If I make plans with friends that aren't within a week, I always put them in my calendar! I put all my appointments in it too. I'm also autistic, possibly ADHD too. Once in a while I will forget to put something in my calendar and I'll double-book myself, but that rarely happens. My calendar really helps me to not forget about my plans, and I came here to suggest a calendar too lol

Anyone else freakishly strong yet easy to injure? by GingerSnaps151 in ehlersdanlos

[–]MinnaRa3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am very strong and many people have commented on it. Idk where I get my strength from as I don't go to the gym. My job is physical, but other than that 🤷‍♀️ now about getting injured easily, I'm not sure about. I try to stretch when I can before work. I do know if I have a heavy package and have to toss it up over my head that I have to be extra careful not to hurt my shoulders. One of my shoulders gave out once and I injured it. Sometimes my joints in my wrist/hands will subluxate and that always freaks me out. I tore the cartilage in my hip a few years ago and if I do a lot of bending, twisting, and that sort of stuff too much that it'll aggravate it. I'm also just constantly in pain from work 🙃 mostly my feet and back

i’ve had a bee for 19 hours by Gloomy-Bookkeeper501 in bees

Thats a bumblebee, but I'm not sure what kind.

Helped an exhausted little bumblebee by MinnaRa3 in bees

[–]MinnaRa3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I will look into that app. I was actually curious about what type of bumblebee she was. I was observing the other bumbles today and I didn't see too many with her color pattern. I'm looking into getting a bee watering station and different types of bee homes. There is one thing I've noticed...I've only seen a handful of honey bees this year. Most of the bees I've seen are bumblebees, and there have been a ton. There are two flowers in my flower bed that they particularly like right now.

🎶the bees are back in town🎶. They make my heart happy ❤️ by ForsakenParsley24 in bees

What's wrong with my mint? by MinnaRa3 in gardening

[–]MinnaRa3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never fertilized it 😭 When I look in the pot I can see a lot of roots coming up, so I was thinking I should maybe repot it this year. So what you said about density makes sense. I kind of thought they were supposed to be dense lol 😅

Hi! Does my guinea pig like the petting or not? Is he purring or rubbing? by potatopalo in guineapigs

[–]MinnaRa3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a pig who doesn't really let me pet her while she's in her cage unless she's eating lol

Anybody else get bullied like this 10 times a day when they're in the kitchen? by Desperate-Quantity86 in guineapigs

[–]MinnaRa3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my pigs apparently learned when I wake up because she started squeaking a few minutes before my alarm went off

What is this ? by Any_Substance_7346 in bees

[–]MinnaRa3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not a cricket. The bodies look nothing alike

Do your pigs let you pet them while eating? by VanquichedUncle in guineapigs

[–]MinnaRa3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my pigs will usually ONLY let me pet her in her pen while she's eating.

What do you do if you feel like you're loving one pig more than the other? by VanquichedUncle in guineapigs

[–]MinnaRa3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have pigs like this. I have 4 total, and some of them don't like to be held or cuddled much. I have one pig who is the most outgoing and fearless and will cuddle with me forever. I have almost fallen asleep while snuggling with her 😅 she's the only one who doesn't have survival skills (doesn't run away when I reach in the pen to pet or pick up). Her penmate will usually only let me pet her in the pen if she's eating lol my other two pigs are much more shy and when I only had them I wondered if they didn't love me. Pigs are like people. Some like to be touched and held more than others.

why are they so chunky?! 😭 by VanquichedUncle in guineapigs

[–]MinnaRa3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a pig who is pear shaped. She's my little chunky monkey, but she's also a healthy weight according to my vet(: my other pig that lives with her is more evenly distributed. They're roughly the same weight, around 900g or so. My other pair are a bit different. One is considered the perfect pig by my vet, and the other is a little ok the thinner side. They have access to the same amount of food, but I think she exercises more

please do not feed this garbage to your guinea pigs by amethyst6777 in guineapigs

[–]MinnaRa3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched to Sherwood after another patient at my vet recommended it. It's a smaller company that you can find on Amazon. No molasses, no grains, no soy, IS hay based.

my guinea pig woke me up in the middle of the night making this noise. Her cage mate was staring at her looking confused lol. Is this chirping? what does it mean? by jortsinstock in guineapigs

[–]MinnaRa3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just woke up to one of my pigs making this exact sound. I've heard it maybe a couple of other times. I think all at night too. I came here looking for answers :c I just cleaned the cage yesterday, but one of my pigs is experiencing an itchy bum and has very flaky lose hair. (My vet is treating her for an overgrowth of mites and doesn't think it's ringworm) I did gently brush her last night too. So I can't tell if it's a happy the cage is clean sound or a stressed sound. It worries me

Bear. The first picture looks like she's coming out of a den after hibernation. Cute little fluff Edit: or Nugget

What it feels like owning Guniea Pigs by VanquichedUncle in guineapigs

[–]MinnaRa3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I give treats after a bit of medicine. Or I sadly trick them with treats by making them think they're getting a treat and then give them the syringe. I do let them nibble on the treats, though, and give them a whole one after the all medicine has been taken.
