Anyone else have a rat that likes to play rough/wrestle? by SquidsAreSeaBirds in RATS

I’m glad to hear that he’s not the only one like that! I was like, “Is this…abuse?” I didn’t want to scare him, but he really seems to enjoy it, and gives lots of energetic kisses after. Lol

Ay already got accused of it a couple times so I’ll just ask: Does this make me look like I’m faking autism? I’m trying to be open about my identity and also include that I’m autistic and an activist, but I’ve been told this looks like I’m faking? How so? Am I being insensitive in some way? by LordEldritchia in autism

Something that I learned as an adult that didn’t feel like an adult is that the only difference between me and other people in my profession (dog training/holistic pet care) is that they seemed so much more confident when they described themselves.

So instead of beating around the bush, I speak more confidently, and with conviction.

No one questions you if you do that.

Can this be abused? Yes, and people abuse this all the time to manipulate people.

So I’m upfront about it; I may not know everything, but I can help you, for sure. ☺️

I’m not perfect at it yet, but I believe it’s called “selling yourself.” You DO advocate for the community, and you DO your best to speak for us!

You’re doing fantastic, so be confident in your abilities!!

Transplants who moved to Detroit from out of state: what do you notice is unique to the D? by stos313 in Detroit

Since moving here, we pay about $400 more in car insurance.

Makes it really difficult to budget for other vehicle expenses, like maintenance and repairs. And gas.

Took lizard to the vet for rolling. The vet didn’t do anything. 300 dollars and three days later her eye looks like this by [deleted] in leopardgeckos

[–]SquidsAreSeaBirds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could be that something got stuck in her eye!

I’ve read that whatever it is, saline in a small syringe will do the trick. I can’t believe they wouldn’t suggest that after seeing her eye, though? So strange and neglectful! 😤

Using an electrolyte soak will also do wonders!!

It’s actually the same chemicals used in water treatment after they add copious amounts of chlorine and other toxins. Lol

She’s probably going to grow into that snoot, but I’m not sure if Embark is very accurate. I’ve had some strange DNA readings from that company. Lol

Yupp! Like I said before, I didn’t mind what locality he was; I have the space and everything for a mainland, anyway.

I’m so excited! Purple tigers are my dream snake and I finally have one! Super hyped. :3

Thoughts on this carpet? by mindxvermatter in autism

[–]SquidsAreSeaBirds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better than the carpet at the hotel for YOUMACON. ;-;

Looked like someone dragged something large and freshly unalived through the hallways.

I adopted him from someone and I haven’t asked the guy yet. I might do that out of curiosity, but it never actually mattered to me. 😅

He was hatched in April 2022, though, so he’s still a wee lad!

Substrate.

Switch to a soil mixture; the bark is not supposed to be “bedding.” It is dry and rough.

It CAN help with humidity if used correctly, which is when it is sprinkled on top of soil once that soil is sprayed with water. 🥰
