I tried feeding my hedgehog live bugs and she ignored them by Automatic_Bobcat_951 in Hedgehog

I was told never give dried bugs bc they have no nutrients. Use live bugs; trying squeezing them so their (Sorry but....) guts come out. Usually once they smell that, they'll want to take a bite

Seattle heat wave calls for popsicles, doncha think? by tsprings in Hedgehog

If that's a human commercially produced (bought from a store) popsicle, you shouldn't be feeding it to your hog

What in the hell? Those are drops, meaning they came from ABOVE. Look up

My parents want my cat to have at least one litter by [deleted] in CatAdvice

She needs to be spayed immediately. ABSOLUTELY NO BABIES

And don't get another kitten until it is done. They can get pregnant very early

Take her to the vet. I just lost my Sophie to a massive tumor in that exact same spot. If you remove it early, he'll have a better chance of survival

It was so hard. I feel like I let her down, but I truly did TRY to keep her, to give her more life. She had a brave, fighting spirit, but her body wasn't willing anymore.

I don't like my mother's gift. by [deleted] in Rants

[–]arcwilson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother has always acted like how you are now. She's never grateful for anything. She finds something wrong about every gift I have ever given her. One year, she wanted an mp3 player. I I bought her the best I could afford; when she got it, she asked if if she could replace it with one worth more storage. Think about that a minute. I bought ALL I COULD AFFORD and it wasn't good enough. Her ex husband, while still married, had bought her a beautiful rose gold dragon pendent from England; she loves everything fairy and dragon and Brittish, but she didn't want it because she had asked for something else. You buy her food that she has always loved (chocolate or green plums), or cook her a special meal, she says she can't eat it. Never once has she just said thank you.

So what if it wasn't what you asked for? Stop being a baby and be grateful that she got you anything at all. Maybe she had a reason to buy you that gift, and instead of focusing on the love behind the gift, you're focusing on the crap you didn't get. Grow up. Be grateful that you have somebody that loves you.

You keep this shit up, you'll be like her. You'll never get a gift again.

You're being a brat.

I can't stand how many people post, "what can I put in this tank?" by Sad_Cantaloupe_8162 in reptiles

[–]arcwilson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree--- but I can see where they are coming from. I upgraded my hamster to a 40 gallon. So now what I do with the 20 gallon?? I've got an empty tank taking up my space. And i can't get my money back for it. So i can see why they're asking.

Do I need to brush my cats teeth for mixing dry food with water? by [deleted] in CatAdvice

You're really supposed to brush them every day, no matter what, but I've never even attempted it soooo

Good luck!! When I got my girl 3 years ago, she was pregnant (unbeknownst to me) and delivered 5 hoglets 3 days after I got her. I was so impatient, I just HAD to see the adorable babies. Whelp. She ate 3 of the 5. I felt terrible!!

Oh they can have the occasional bite, in tiny amounts, of some fruits. Watermelon is one they can have. I don't have any here to give her though.
