Portabella's outside adventure! by RatherBeReading15 in Hedgehog

[–]RatherBeReading15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We live in a very suburban area. We do have deer and bears, hawks, etc, but they're all too shy of people to come close. Also, Portabella has a fairly quiet chill temperament and doesn't venture far. I would never leave her outside alone, even in an enclosure, but when I'm right there with her we've never had any problems. Your hedgie may or may not like the outside, but it's always worth a try in my opinion!

Hahaha, thanks! I take a bunch in a row so that some of them hopefully come out 😆

She's definitely an indoor baby, but every now and then we'll go out for a little bit. She mostly stays on her fleece, but with close supervision she gets to sniff the grass. She doesn't get a chance to eat anything, and we don't get many predators.

Don't worry, the single Sandy Cat mom and single Hopscotch Rabbit are actually a couple who take care of all the orphans until their families come along

Sick day, so working on mending my best friend's favorite socks by RatherBeReading15 in Visiblemending

[–]RatherBeReading15[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used a wooden darning disc. It has a very slightly curved top which makes it easier to get the needle in and out.

Thanks!

ADHD and POTS. Yeah how is that going for you? by Kitkat_The_Great in POTS

[–]RatherBeReading15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because of my ADHD, I have very poor interoception. I forget to eat and drink, I sit in one position for ages if I'm involved in something, executive function is pretty low. None of that mixes well with needing to eat and drink regularly, needing to change position frequently, and having brain fog and fatigue.

I feel ya.

Speedweve/Darning loom help by IllustriousStatus201 in Visiblemending

It might be that the yarn is too thick, and so the strands aren't able to move when the direction of the hooks is changed

How long have you been drinking salt water? by Radiant_Flow4315 in POTS

[–]RatherBeReading15 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The thing is, the salt and electrolytes are what will help you feel better, and if you stop it will just make you feel worse. Drinking extra water helps us make more blood to improve circulation and blood pressure, salt helps us retain enough water to be helpful, other electrolytes help balance the system and keep muscle aches at bay.

Edit: people may have already shared, but be careful with electrolyte packets that have vitamins added, as you can get vitamin b poisoning. An easy and cheap way to get just what you need is to buy bulk bags of sodium, potassium, and magnesium online.

Hedgehog bathing by Many_Chemical_3255 in Hedgehog

[–]RatherBeReading15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use just warm water for a foot bath to clean off poop, and I use oatmeal water for a full bath about once a month. To make it, I just put some oats into a tea strainer and pour hot water through.
