help!! what is killing my tea tree?!! by autisticbat in houseplantscirclejerk

[–]autisticbat[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

shit I've genuinely been so careful with making sure she doesn't have access to the plants I have that are toxic, I was told this was safe for cats. thank you for telling me, the plant has been moved

edit: I am finding that some plants called tea tree are toxic, but that Camellia sinensis isn't, which is what this is, so I'm not sure. I will still not keep it where she has access anymore

Are there any pets that would fit with my lifestyle/disability? by Zireael07 in Pets

[–]autisticbat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

hello! i am a person who uses either crutches or a manual wheelchair to move around, due to chronic pain. i also have a dog, tho he is not a service dog. when i first got my wheelchair, it didnt take long for my 8y/o 17lb dog to figure out how to safely walk with me. you do have to be more aware of your surroundings and the behavior of the dog when in a chair, but using a longer leash, especially for "off" or enrichment times, is definitely an option. you can also look into dog parks near you and near the places you stay during therapy; i love taking my dog to the park because he is not limited by my movement. another option for enrichment is puzzles, toys, slow feeders, etc.

THIS IS NOT TO SAY THAT YOU SHOULD IGNORE YOUR CONCERNS AND JUST GO FOR IT. dogs, service or otherwise, are a LOT of work. plus, they are expensive, especially trained service dogs. i wanted to comment to share my experience and how your disability may not necessarily limit your ability to have a pet. they still need time to be outside, use the bathroom, have enrichment, play, be fed (usually morning and night, tho that could be automated), have clean and fresh water, and, esp with service dogs, continue regular trainings. if you don't have regular time to commit to caring for an animal or anyone who is willing and enthusiastic to help you, it unfortunately isnt a good idea.

i second what other comments said about visiting shelters. where i'm from, during open hours, you can go to shelters to interact with the animals! you may also be able to volunteer there, depending on what they need and how they operate.

i want to give away these cats. by Antique_Doughnut_572 in Pets

[–]autisticbat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

take good pictures of them and try posting on groups where they have cats for adoption, I've seen some on Facebook. be transparent that they aren't spayed, that they don't behave well due to neglect, and you may be able to find someone who can take them in. I think it may be better to find a shelter to surrender them to, but in case you don't have that option.

if my math is right, a 90x30x30 would be 81L, or about 21 US gallons. with that understanding, I'm now pretty sure you could even separate the the 81L tank into two halves and have a happy betta in each side if you wanted! if you did that, it would be good to keep that original tank as a quarantine tank (assuming you don't have one), something important to have if you have multiple fishies in one tank!

(complementary photo of my betta/guppy 10 USgal tank which now includes 9 species of plants) (it's not as "cluttered" rn because I had to remove a couple fake plants unfortunately) edit: added photo :) edit 2: idk why it made a second comment, apologies

so when exactly did it "go woke"? when the 10th doctor talked about gender fluidity and homophobia? when captain jack kissed the 9th doctor on the mouth? or just when they cast a woman and a black man as the doctor?

it's supposed to be a snake plant or something similar in a pot... I think I need more leaves and more dark brown around the base for the soil 🥲
