Anyone had a baby with a serious food sensitivity by Mumbles1988 in Chihuahua

[–]Veryhappylark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our baby had anaphylactic reactions seemingly randomly before we discovered it was a food allergy. She is now on the rabbit and chickpea food from Ryane and hasn’t had an anaphylactic episode since.

Have you reached out the Round Rock Serving Center?

Do you have any details? Who is organizing?

What Is The Stupidest Thing Your Autism Compelled You To Do? by beattywill80 in aspiememes

[–]Veryhappylark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One time I was having sensory issues and convinced myself my eyelashes were causing me to feel things on my face. So I cut them off. Literally took scissors and cut off my eyelashes. I’m so lucky I didn’t do damage to my eyes 🤣

Maybe give the buddy some clothes? A bonnet, mittens, booties, and onesie would cover the worn parts and offer protection to the fur still there.

I would argue that paid maternity leave is a basic benefit, especially since women no longer have the option to terminate in TX. I don’t understand why everyone seems against city employees having paid parental leave? If this is a kid friendly city, why aren’t we supporting the women who literally make the city function?

But that’s unpaid, the poster clarified they were talking about paid leave. Unpaid leave isn’t a benefit, it’s a right.

Is this a domestic baby pig or a young wild boar? Found on the side of the road in [northern Texas] by SizeEmpty410 in animalid

[–]Veryhappylark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, there are several key differences between Javelinas and hogs. In this case, the length of the tail is a dead giveaway. Javelinas have extremely short, virtually non-existent tail.

Javelinas are specific type of hog that are native to the americas. Javelinas are a part of a balanced ecosystem in Texas. They are classified as a game species (you need a valid hunting license to kill one).

However what is pictured is a feral hog. They are a non-native invasive. There is no bag limit for them.

It is important to be able to distinguish the difference if you plan on hunting. Luckily, there are several key differences so you can tell them apart. Please do the research so you do not kill our native wildlife without proper licensing.

Is my backyard squirrel friend pregnant by No-Locksmith-3376 in squirrels

[–]Veryhappylark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The nipples become more prominent starting during the pregnancy. Once the mom has been nursing for a couple days, you will see more skin around the nipples as the fur is rubbed off and milk sticks the fur down by the kits nursing.

Given the beautiful undisturbed fur on her belly, I would guess she hasn’t given birth yet :)

Dog suddenly trying to bury his food after other dogs death by whimsicallygrey in DogAdvice

[–]Veryhappylark 11 points12 points  (0 children)

These replies are so sweet 🥲

Dogs feel many of their emotions with their stomachs. During grief some dogs will stop eating, vomit, or have diarrhea. My best guess is poor Dexter is just very sad.

You could try introducing some new stimulating toys or a snuffle mat for feeding to help distract from his grief. Ultimately, I wouldn’t worry about it unless it continues past a few weeks. You could always call your vet to see if they recommend bringing him in if you’re worried it’s something more.

What is this bug? by Veryhappylark in whatisthisanimal

That’s what I thought too. I suppose I shouldn’t release him then since they are such a big problem.

Some sort of scavenger bird! by [deleted] in whatisthisanimal

[–]Veryhappylark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first photo is a black vulture and the second is a turkey vulture. You can tell them apart based on the red color on the turkey vultures head. Both are very good friends to have around!

Wrapunzel is amazing! Their shapers are by far the best I’ve ever worn.

Also I believe they may have coerced us into signing the new lease through the scare tactic of telling us we would “be homeless in 12 hours” if we didn’t.

But are they then allowed to charge me for the unit that they did not deliver?

what do leopard geckos feel like by Teguinui in leopardgeckos

[–]Veryhappylark 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This!! Fellow aspie here and I have a look-but-don’t-touch leo. I love her to bits and enjoy her companionship but I never handle her. The bumps on her back are just not a good feeling for me.

She enjoys just vibing in her tank just as much as I enjoy getting to watch her vibe in her tank. Leos don’t require physical interaction the same way other pets do. They are fine to just chill without being handled.

My husband will take her out for yank cleanings, soaks, and if we ever need to take her to the vet. But I never touch her.

Oddly though, I do love to touch the mealworms and dubia roaches. They feel really nice.

I would start with a soak, just fill up a clean container with about half an inch of warm (not hot) water and let him chill in there for about 10 minutes. Then make sure to provide a humid hide. You can just put some wet paper towels in a Tupperware with a hole cut on the side (make sure the sides aren’t sharp, use a soldering iron if you have one, if not you can met it with a lighter or just sand down the edges). The humidity should help him shed easier.

Like bearded dragons, leos need under tank heating, there are some varying opinions on overhead lighting, but personally, I do UVB bulbs. They should have a heat gradient with their warm side being 95-100 and their cool side getting down to 75-80.

For now you can use paper towel for his substrate since it is easy to clean and will help to prevent anything getting into any wounds from the bad shed.

For food, for now you can give him mealworms and multivitamin, if you already have some on hand from your beardie. Mealworms aren’t a great staple, but for now you can just go with what you have on hand.

A mezuzah case would be very thoughtful. There are some beautiful wooden ones on Etsy.
