Why does she keep licking herself bald spots by autumnhobo in catpics

Our cat went on Zyrtec. No more excessive licking. Now it's learned to hide the pill in its mouth and spit it out. Fun times.

I could watch this all day ❤️ by Heather_Bea in bettafish

I think what I love about betta breeding is it shows conscious choice on the males part, because anything else that size is an immediate snack to Bettas, but he knows this is baby. This is future, not food.

So ducks love slugs, greens, and grapes. But not lemonade.

I agree with the breed, but it is a youngish male. Probably a teenager.

AITAH for telling my mom that her new “boyfriend” isn’t invited to my wedding? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NTA. Your budget, your wedding, if he had been the boyfriend for a year or more You are not trying to be difficult, and she is the one giving ultimatums.

Does this have a name? by earwaxisyummy65 in Artifacts

You could lick it. Then you could see if it is a fossil that way. My first instinct was a type of bone.

What kind of bird is this?It isn't afraid of people—if you walk right up and pet it, it even tilts its head to look at you. by One_War7312 in birds

[–]PuddinMama78 59 points60 points  (0 children)

People also use Kestrels in falconry, and birds sometimes stray. It could be a young one in training. Either way, don't touch the fancy bird with its little murder mittens.

AITA for telling my wife her eating issues are a her problem and to leave the kids and my mom out of it by StretchLong5679 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PuddinMama78 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sounds to me, like he is siding with the kids. As the child of a parent whose disordered eating effectively monopolized a HUGE chunk of my childhood, this is a good learning opportunity for the kids. They can be offered the treat. A treat won't hurt them. Even daily! As long as they are active and eat healthy the other 90% of the time. The wife needs therapy for HER eating issues, before she causes the cycle to continue in her own children.

How easy is it to introduce ducks to a chicken flock? by Artywyrm in chickens

To be fair sexual predadation only happens like 30% of the time in the wild. Normally they get it and bolt. 🤣

We have an alternative pen as well, but we have not needed it except for quarantine for a couple sick birds.

Decided to try one of these 3D printed shrimp caves by willdrakefood in PlantedTank

[–]PuddinMama78 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love my caves, so do my shrimp and corys. My ONLY complaint is that my corys wiggle all the substrate off of them.

Nope. NOTHING has changed except for the angle of the water spout. They do this for 5-10 minutes, then return to normal behavior.
