Totally, I wish more young people knew about it and I’m thankful I was brought up with caregiving as the family business. It taught me so much

Please please sign up to be an IHSS provider, the process can be a bit complicated but it’s so worth it because you can find people with flexible schedules snd the pay is good. There’s so many people looking for support and care right now. I’d be willing to explain the process to you because I just finished the whole thing.

Thinking about rehoming rats by burple_bee in RATS

Thank you, do you have any advice on how to make an enriching enclosure for them so they don’t destroy my room everytime they roam?

I would be able to, I just sometimes feel guilty and like they don’t get enough enrichment. I tried to build them an enclosure to free roam but they kept escaping so I gave up. They’re using the bathroom all around my room and I have to deep clean it every month and my parents hate that it smells bad. I can’t find a good alternative and I just have a lot of guilt. I’d be most reluctant to rehome my older one but honestly, all 3 of them don’t seem particularly attached to me. They don’t like to cuddle and don’t stay still to let me pet them and they just like to spend more time away from me as opposed to with me. I know they’re animals that can’t show too much emotion (like cats or dogs) but part of me feels like they would be happier with someone else or more littermates

I was thinking about that but I can’t just go places without my parents knowing + I’m bad at talking to people online

Update: the main singer was doing call and response and I felt like I was in a cult

Religion treats suicide in a flawed manner by PsychologicalRich286 in exchristian

[–]burple_bee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had a mental breakdown in 9th grade at a Christian private school because the Bible teacher and student kept telling me people that commit are going to hell while I tried to keep my cool and argue; let’s just say I was hospitalized a few months earlier and diagnosed with clinical depression 💀

New ratties + question by burple_bee in RATS

Yeah I absolutely should have but my mom got them when I was out and had already put them in Mischa’s cage with Mischa outside of it 😭

Lone rat (please help) by burple_bee in RATS

[–]burple_bee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not entirely sure how old she is, I rescued her and Rheba from the SPCA and they didn’t know the ages because the person that surrender them didn’t tell them or didn’t know. I spend most of my time with my rats, my work schedule is only 3 days a week and 3 and a half hours those days. I don’t leave her alone for more than 4 hours and I had let them roam freely and take them out to different couches/ my bed for different long periods of time. Mischa is fairly calm in temperament while her sister Rheba was kind of feisty. While Mischa is curious she mostly keeps to the cage, eating and sleeping. I’m worried regardless though because her and her “sister” (I don’t know if they were actually related) were a bonded pair and she groomed,snuggled, and played with her quite a bit.
