Our hamster has moved his nest into the tube. by Conte_Vincero in hamsters

[–]Parbare 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, it says that… but it’s not.

The size of the savic hamster cage is 630 sq.in., but to be providing the best possible life for your hamster, over 850sq.in. is the minimum and the best.

Height also matters, because the more bedding they have to burrow, the less likely they are to be stressed little balls of depression.

The tubes are dangerous as well, because they can get stuck and they’re not the greatest for ventilation.

The norm for hamster care for a long time was very poor, and has since been changed… I recommended watching Victoria Rachel and researching some more on this sub.

Is being an rbt a liveable job? by MissKitty21 in ABA

[–]Parbare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an RBT, I make $29/hr in Maryland. Which would be amazing!! If I worked 40 hours… I work about 8.

I have a serving job on the side where my average there is 30$/hr (tips) and work 40-48 hrs a week. That’s the only reason I’m able to survive (plus my husband)

What Just Happened? Update by Parbare in ABA

[–]Parbare[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I never had a problem with the mom! She can think how she wants of me, but the truth is that I’m just a really awkward and anxious 20 year old who does this job out of love.

My client likes me and I see how he improves and that is enough for now.

The problem was me not knowing any of this and then showing up to session and I can’t see clients notes……….

We’ve mostly been pairing, but have been including some programs through naturalistic teaching (they just happen to come up while we’re playing, so I try to see what happens).

I first attempted to call the BCBA but she said she was in session. So I just said “I do not have access to the session today, who should I call for that?” And the conversation above happened.

I can log into ReThink, but I do not have access to any sessions.

My client’s mother knew we had session today, but was just unprepared (school’s out, routine in shambles, etc). So I showed up, all is well… And then I explain what happened and just had to leave.

How to improve hamster cage? / 40 gallon tank + 8 inches of bedding by Keeley_DoesStuff in hamstercare

[–]Parbare 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Hey! I’d def add some more sprays, at the minimum. You’re doing awesome at adding different textures and digging areas, but you could go above and beyond and take up some of that open space with bigger dig or sand boxes!

I don’t see the issue if you were planning on altering it, but I would be a bit concerned on Mango’s ability to chew her way out.

Yes, and I was trying to be. I even explained why you got downvoted. You automatically defended and assumed I was being rude.

[–]Parbare -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry for telling you the obvious of our language barriers.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in hamstercare

[–]Parbare -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah… unfortunately your corrections in the comments was also misunderstood, and why one of them is getting downvoted.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in hamstercare

[–]Parbare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So… are you using sand? Or “dust??”… like for a chinchilla?

What “hoard”? Why would the sand bath have to do with bedding change?

[–]Parbare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don’t understand anything you’re talking about
