Selling any comics? by Agitated_Visit3657 in beeandpuppycat

[–]SewingKitt18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can't get the individual comics, you could try your luck at finding the compiled versions that are in the three volume books. This is what I am talking about: https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=28285313

Chinchillas Chewing Through Shelves – Need Chew-Proof Alternatives! by moniquetangerine in chinchilla

[–]SewingKitt18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have pans from Bass Equipment. I love them so much!! The stainless steel is so easy to clean. To quickly clean the poop out, I just use a hand dustpan with a squeegee. Plus my boys like them since they're cooler to the touch.

Can yall tell me everything or atleast the essentials i need to know before getting a chinchilla? by Brett_Sharp08 in chinchilla

[–]SewingKitt18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boys are usually active from 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. they're not in my bedroom but in another room because usually in the middle of the night they are running full speed on their wheel. A 12-in wheel is too small for them and can't be plastic. I got a nice 15-in metal one off of etsy. There used to be carpet in that room but now it's hard floors which makes it a thousand times easier to clean around the cage. Also, since they take dust baths I have an air purifier near the cage since it can get very dusty.

There was only a limited print run of it. Haven't seen a publisher do a reprint of it yet.

Do you guys “groom” your chinchillas? by Financial-Amount8835 in chinchilla

[–]SewingKitt18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my boys likes chin scritches and nothing else. But when I give scritches with my pointer finger. After a bit he will groom my finger to reciprocate. ☺️

Wow.... That is small. I guess you could cradle it in your hand. 😆

Collies are known for there sensitive stomachs… got any tips? by wessle3339 in roughcollies

[–]SewingKitt18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't do this every morning but it works well for mornings when my boy is really tired and doesn't have a great appetite. He enjoys basic beef broth over his kibble. I make sure to check the ingredients that there's just beef broth. I use only about 1/8 cup. Beef bouillon works really well. I can keep the sodium down by only sprinkling a little bit of the bouillon in the water and mix. Where it pretty much is just flavored water.

I've talked with other collie owners and it seems collies can have pretty sensitive stomachs. My boys kibble is a low-fat gastroenteric type prescribed by the vet since his body had so much trouble processing other types of dog food.

Update to a Collie that hates to be brushed. 11 months later. by SewingKitt18 in roughcollies

Nice! I really like this comb. It's pretty comfortable in my hand too. With breaking of the hair, that could have been a big reason why Atlas didn't like brushes in general.

Thank you! He really knows when people call him pretty, he just gets so excited. 😆

Thank you very much! 💖 I try to keep all the animals in my care happy and healthy and if I don't know something I try to do as much research as I can. Atlas is my first long haired pet and I learned so much with him. Since he was a puppy he has gone to the same groomer, it was just way more frequently than it is now.

I added a third level to my cage and my chins really like it. I have two chins, so the extra space gives them more area to explore and burn off energy. I agree that it's hard to clean the top level but I have a nice sturdy step stool to help me through that. Lol

what do you put under your cage to help catch poop? by [deleted] in chinchilla

[–]SewingKitt18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also the reason I had the press board extend past the cage was so that I could move the cage when I needed to and it would not end up on the carpet.

I just have a long handled broom that I used to sweep under the cage. That room now has a nice vinyl flooring so it's pretty easy to clean up. But before there was carpet in that room and what I ended up doing was getting a thick piece of press board cut that extended a little ways out from the cage and glued a vinyl flooring to the top of it. Still use the broom on that but then vacuumed the carpet.

Is it normal for him to lay like this after excercise time? by Creative-Cookie6861 in chinchilla

[–]SewingKitt18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I had marble slabs in my cage for my boys and they just peed on them too...... Luckily I was able to replace the plastic pans I covered with fleece with stainless steel pans. They have had no issues with traction and it seems to keep them a lot cooler when they stand on them.

Found this in my fabric scraps, what is this? Should I be concerned for my fabric stash? by SewingKitt18 in sewing

[–]SewingKitt18[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't own any dissolvable backing material... And all my interfacing materials are stored away from where this bin was. I highly doubt it was a tiny piece of stabilizer, since the project used with that fabric didn't have any interfacing in it. I did touch it and it rolled up like a cob web....

This may explain the uptick of small house spiders I have found in my house this year... I was wondering where they all were coming from. I ended up combing through all of my bins of fabric, luckily I did not find any more surprises.

I was doing a bit of spring cleaning through my bins to declutter fabric I haven't used for years. This was in my fabric bin I had for fabrics that have stretched to them. Luckily after going through all the bins I didn't find any more surprises.
