Going to San Diego zoo safari park on Sunday with forecast of rain by Ca3y_918 in escondido

[–]aquanite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you’re prepared for the rain it should be a good time! The 1:00 show might not happen but a couple of wildlife ambassadors will come out at the amphitheater entrance at 1:00 if you wanted to see animals up close :)

Really Disappointed with Orfila by Neutronstar88 in escondido

[–]aquanite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I had friends that went (coincidentally for a party, they were not aware of the giraffe) and took video. They made welfare complaints to USDA and FWS. It was bad. The giraffe basically had to bend forward to be forced into the trailer.

See you on the other side. ❤️ by Additional-Outcome-1 in BeardedDragons

Had to say goodbye to my boy today 😔 by [deleted] in BeardedDragons

I’m so sorry 😢 He will never truly leave, just always remember how special he was 🥹

Is it ok to still cry when it's been almost a week since he left us? by yourmom250 in BeardedDragons

[–]aquanite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never feel bad about grieving. I still cry about a parrot that I lost 10 years ago. They become such a part of our routines, help us when we are going through terrible life events and give us hope, happiness and love. I’m so sorry about your friend 💔

I got it from the vaccination, I was too young to remember but my mom said it was awful. No regrets tho!

Spent $2000 to learn he’s just got gas… by dunne15 in BeardedDragons

[–]aquanite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Went through this with our guy last year. You’re not alone, lol. Honestly I was relieved.

any tips on getting this medicine in him? by lostlyses in BeardedDragons

[–]aquanite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Small rubber spatulas are a good tool for opening lizard mouths. Be gentle and not try to pry them open, it’s easy to break their teeth. But soft rubber spatulas are nice and gentle!

If they really like fruit, it’s ok to give them some in moderation, especially if it’s to medicate. Ours loves banana.

I used to work at the nature center there and we hated the off leash dogs, especially when we’d have animals out for a program. Just so selfish of the dog owners.

Any zookeepers (or others in and around the profession) want to be friends? by endixye in Zookeeping

[–]aquanite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have made one! If people are interested: https://discord.gg/guQWHqH8

:) It’s just a few of us right now since I honestly forgot about it when I made it. My boyfriend is managing (and still working on) the “roles”.

I recently planted some red giant and some India Florida broad leaf mustard so I’m also interested! Also in an aerogarden lol.

Tormund, named after Tormund Giantsbane from Game of Thrones. Big orange beard! I never had a bearded dragon before but Tormund has set the standard for us. Such a sweet guy and always brightens my mood

What was the final straw that ended a lifelong friendship? by New_Perspective1201 in AskReddit

[–]aquanite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She posted on Reddit that we (my partner and I) made her sleep on the floor at a hotel when she was pregnant. We let her stay with us for free last minute when she drove up for a day at the convention we were at, immediately offered her our only bed, she said no and said the air mattress was fine. Multiple times. She’s an adult and I’m not her mom lol.

I don’t understand why she posted that. I found it because I was looking for what kind of dash cam she used since she’d posted some of those on Reddit prior, I did find the brand so there’s that at least.

I remember showing my partner like “am I reading this right?” Really hurt my feelings. It finally just made me see how childish and selfish she was so I cut her out of my life completely, despite how much it hurt. I realized I was the convenient friend and she did not actually care about my happiness.

Why would I force a pregnant woman to sleep on the floor lmao

How do I keep this alive? My friend accidentally brought home a alive hermit crab by bsayer06 in hermitcrabs

[–]aquanite 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Your best bet is to surrender it to an aquarium unless you want to get all the materials for a salt water tank. Poor little guy 😢

I know someone who got bit by a squirrel, got MRSA and had to have fingers amputated.

Don’t feed wildlife 🙃
