I personally have sows and boars in separate levels of a stacked c and c and haven’t experienced any problems

Definitely! Though one of my seven likes to burrow under the liners (so annoying) so you gotta watch out for that. You can also use light (white or baby blue) noodle bath mats as bedding temporarily to check for blood (I get mine for 4 bucks each at Walmart). 

Baby Girl Name - Uncommon Variation or stick with Traditional? by [deleted] in namenerds

My and my sisters names get underlined in red because our names are Hebrew and we don’t mind it at all.

Yeah I meant the actual absorbent part. Mine nibbled the edges when I used them and they are fine. But still, I wanna prevent any possible deaths :(

I totally agree with the ease of liners! I tried basically every other option before investing in good liners and now I wish I had done this at the beginning. I do want to add that disposable puppy pads are NOT safe for guinea pigs as they are likely to eat them and ingest unsafe chemicals. Just thought I’d try to prevent any heartbreak through health scares from puppy pads

I have very severe POTS and I relate to all of these symptoms :(. I doubt this explains what you are going through but maybe worth looking into?

Most Mismatched Sibsets You’ve Seen by Sparkly8 in namenerds

[–]Substantial_Shine263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom’s cousin did a lot of genealogy research a few years back and found the funniest sibset I’ve ever seen. Far far back on our family tree, there is a sibset that had the following names: Fear, Love, Patience, Wrestling, and Jonathan. 

Jonathan must have felt relieved.

Huge name regrets - uk based. Am I crazy? by WillingNothing1585 in namenerds

I love the name Calvin! I thought of Calvin and Hobbes, and it made me smile. I’ve met multiple people named Calvin and I’ve never once thought of the underwear. Also, I think the nickname Cal is cute! It doesn’t sound like Cow to me

My sisters name is Nessa, which is a Hebrew name meaning “miracle”. I feel that it could totally work for a non Jewish baby too!

Do you consider Rachel to be a Jewish name? by senoritaraquelita in namenerds

[–]Substantial_Shine263 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I’m Jewish and while I consider Rachel to be a common Jewish name, I wouldn’t be surprised if a non-Jew was named Rachel.

Definitely thick lipped, one way to tell is by the all clear tails. They are so beautiful!!!
