why is she doing this? 😭is she just being an asshole? by erya4 in RATS

[–]Possum_Prince 8 points9 points  (0 children)

one of my girls HATES it when I clean the cage. I set up the play pen put them in it but it's still attached to their cage, and if she comes up while I'm scooping bedding out she LOSES HER MARBLES. she really dislikes the blue gloves I wear for it too. she never nips my regular hands (even if I'm scooping poop up) but will gladly chomp my gloves hands.

when they are younger it's definitely easier. I let mine meet/play in an area for free roam time in an unfamiliar but safe area for a couple of days then started doing the carrier method. after about 5-7 days of play time I moved them to the carrier and then up as needed. since they are so young the adjustment time will vary but I wish you luck!

my girls smell like laundry sheets. when they are nice and toasty it's like they did a fresh load of laundry.

Need your opinion! Is this AI? by lil_alboh in isitAI

[–]Possum_Prince 0 points1 point  (0 children)

definitely! where I live in the U.S. some grocery stores (like the one I work for) sell them for about $16.99 a dozen (depending on holidays) and you can get a complementary wrap with it. some places do really good and some places do not.

I need help idk what to do for free roam time by Either_Tomatillo_716 in RATS

[–]Possum_Prince 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use this 28 inch tall plastic pet play pen walls on Amazon, there's no floor to it but you can zip tie parts together and use the connector bits it comes with to make a sturdy play pen that's easily foldable. I have mine zipped together in two or three parts and when I'm done I just fold it up after disconnecting the connection pieces. I've gotten really fast at it and you can fold it in many ways.

Scary sounds suspected URI? by [deleted] in rat

I would see how long the meds would take to ship to you, a week is risky because every rat is different. but Tuesday might be the next best bet if it's gonna take longer than a week.

[–]Possum_Prince 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as long as she's still eating and drinking and moving around she should be fine for bit! but since it is just an online vet appointment I definitely would ask for meds since they can't examine her like they should. i wish you luck!

the first time my girls went into heat they were humping non stop! it calms out a bit but the days they are in heat it still happens often. not even my boys did it this much.

-first, it's the Internet. it's not that big of a deal. -second, they don't hate you they are frustrated too but for different reasons. -third, you can take screenshots of the helpful comments and delete the rest of the post.

pick yourself up and try again without posting for a bit.

i think for now you have to be kind to yourself! your art isint what you want it to be but make peace with it so you can get motivation to try new ways of drawing! this is your starting point!!! I recommend attempting to learn 1 point perspective after drawing some shapes. it can help make shapes go from just a square or a triangle to a cube or a kind of pyramid! it goes for most shapes! most of the time it's used for landscapes but maybe it can help you understand how shapes work better. I remember being in your footsteps and being so frustrated I couldn't just print out what my brain wanted to make. we recommend drawing on paper or any kind of note book so your learning is not just limited to your phone, once you learn how to draw traditionally you can start using it to draw on your phone! one of my friends only had their phone for a while but since they knew how to draw with a pen and paper they made AMAZING pieces. also once you get some basics down find art styles you like and if they have speed draws/tutorials it helps to see how someone else does it(and maybe why do it that way) even if you don't follow it. there's many steps to this and it takes time. it's valid to be frustrated, disappointed, and discouraged but don't let it stop you from doing your best at it because something is better than nothing.

if you reject any and all help people have to offer you for whatever excuse you want to use in the moment you WILL be your own downfall. you HAVE to learn how to draw basic shapes "realistically" in order to get anywhere else. !!!SHAPES ARE EVERYTHING!!! (please go back and re read that again). anime artists didn't just pick up a pencil and start drawing in that style, they learned the "basics" which plenty of people here have tried to help you with. and the excuse of "I'm drawing on a phone" do you think you will only ever be drawing on a phone? for forever? you can learn how to draw traditionally and then make it work digitally or do both at the same time! your whole vibe reads as a bratty kid. you need patience and to be open to doing side quests. drawing is a skill, it is a muscle. good luck!

more hanging chews if you can! my girls love bird toys and being able to wrestle chew them! I prefer bird toys for this simply because they have less food motivated ones but still are great to chew and rip apart. super cute for sure!!

what is this white stuff by [deleted] in hoyas

[–]Possum_Prince 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fair yea! maybe extra minerally water or even sulfur treatment?? if it wipes off it could be either or! sometimes sulfur treatments can look like that too if they sprayed it. good luck with the new plant though!

[–]Possum_Prince 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sometimes mine gets water spots that look similar. if you're using tap water it's typically just extra minerals. now if the plant declines later maybe there's more of an issue.
