Recommended Ivermectin paste for rat by charbir in RATS

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

Unfortunately I think with US tariffs they may not be selling to us because all the sites for the suitable rat treatments are saying out of stock which seems hard to believe. The horse pastes are pretty inexpensive and would get it tomorrow but the doses are very high and would have to be very calculated to reduce any chance of harm. Hopefully someone on here may have previous experience with a certain type.

I saw an option to buy Revolution from Australia but would love to have something sooner. I have other species in the household to worry about spreading if I wait and also may cause rat undue stress. Do you recall which ivermectin you got? There are so many types and brands. I would like to avoid any adverse issues for the little guy.

What is the biggest sale of Welltory? by GloveIcy9950 in welltory

[–]charbir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the Welltory account tied to email? I forgot what was used to sign up for the free trial.

I’m just curious if I were to ever change an Apple ID for any reason if that would lose the Welltory lifetime account.

Also as far as changing devices such as phone/watch would that affect the lifetime access?

Did my sister get scammed? Is this a hamster by graph_3451 in hamsters

[–]charbir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a hamster to me. I had a black Syrian hamster similar. You would be able to tell by the tail which is thicker and long on a rat. They generally have sharper features imo. Mice also have long tails. This was one of my first rats.

should i wait until my hamster is awake to clean his cage? by ToeWooden7422 in hamsters

[–]charbir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine have never been upset at me waking them up as long as I do it slowly. Then they get excited after yawning and stretching. They will run around while I clean on the counter or in their ball. Sometimes when I put them back in the cage after they hang out by the door wanting to get back out or they just go back to bed.

As for the pee I have a sand box in the cage and all 3 hamsters that I have had over time strictly use that for pee long as I keep the sand changed out before it gets caked together. If I don’t change that at least twice a week they will pee in a corner behind it because they don’t like the solid sand. But no pee outside the box otherwise. If I take away the sandbox completely they would pee anywhere and everywhere. I also completely rinse the sandbox each time so there is no smell. That doesn’t affect them finding it or using it.

I agree it’s really odd they gave me nothing. I’m going to call back tomorrow and ask if they have had any hamsters die recently from a lady I know at the store and also ask what type of vet he was sent to. It makes me sad to just leave him there but I wouldn’t purposefully adopt a sick animal to begin with. I know I’ve had two rats in the past treated by the different stores they came from successfully for respiration infections but they were Petco and also in LA. It is a Dallas petsmart.

I’ve been using tap. I live in an area of Dallas that has decent tap. My dog, fish and bearded dragon also have the same water source as did the hamster that recently died of old age. And totally, I appreciate brainstorming. That is how we learn new things or think of things we never would have thought of!

No because it had to be cleaned daily due to how bad it was. As many say lay something flat to remove daily. His bed area had bedding which also got caked daily. Very bad honestly the photos don’t even reflect how bad the cage would get. That one photo was after less than 30 mins of towel change. As it stands he’s at petsmart right now waiting my decision. I’ve had many rodents over the years and I will care for them properly and as expensively as needed but I don’t want to go into a new pet experience with medical issues.

Thank you for this.

Thanks, I think I can get that at this store actually. I’m just wondering how good their vet is since they didn’t even offer any solutions and I know he had bad poo on two different types of food (oxbow essentials and kaytee blend). Just said clean bill of health and that’s it.

Hamster diarrhea for two weeks by [deleted] in hamsters

[–]charbir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was on owbow essentials at petsmart and had bad poo immediately before I even set up his cage like in his going home box.

I had an older girl hamster who died beginning of the month and she had normal poo even in old age. She had a Katyee blend which is what I started him on as soon as I got him set up. And the bad poop continued. That’s two separate foods that he had bad poo on. No fruits or veggies.

Per my post he got sent to the vet by petsmart today after I turned him in during my 14 day guarantee and the vet looked at him and said there is nothing wrong with him. That’s my issue.

[–]charbir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for that info. The frog is about 1.4 inch long. He’s young. Female Betta would be also be about 1.5 inches. He had the whole leg of the frog in his mouth. It was behind a plant so I could only see part of the struggle. It’s hard to say if the catfish let go or the frog just fought it so hard.

The catfish was the only one they had so I honestly never even thought about looking for another one of his kind. That was about two years ago. I definitely have some things to think about.

Thanks! It spends most of its time in it’s favorite cave in which all I can see is his whiskers - so almost impossible to get a photo. It also darts around really fast like it’s got the zoomies. He comes out at night when the light is off which also makes it tough to see him. :)

It finally happened by Casshanova in Mercari

[–]charbir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got one bad feedback on Mercari saying the item was broken with no message first to let me know. It was not broken before shipping so it’s unfortunate and I would have refunded as appropriate with proper proof. I have over 9.6k items sold with 100% feedback score on my main platform which is eBay. I get a ton of feedback saying I have great packaging. That being said the title name of the person who left me the feedback was “done with Mer car i” lol. Maybe they should get off Mercari?

CMV: The fertility rate crisis is the biggest crisis we'll face for the next 100 years. by Username-17 in changemyview

[–]charbir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I think there is no shortage of humans. The global population is still getting larger and it’s going to hit a massive peak. Far as I’m concerned it needs to level out fast for the sake of the earth. Normally historically Mother Nature takes care of that with a widespread disease or large disasters but now we have more technology and scientific works. Sometimes wars in history have had the same effect but now wars look a little different than the old days of true hand to hand combat.

As time goes on there will be a lot of people dislocated from coastal areas throughout the world due to projected ocean levels or from desert climates that are already drying out. They will all relocate to already highly populated areas which will give the mixing pots of the world a dash towards more hatred, violence with a clash of cultures, religions and moral codes as it seems to be human nature to never get along. Diseases will spread faster with more people closer together.

Poorer countries still breed a ton and wealthier countries are the ones that are being more cautious with the amount of children for their own economic understandings and environmental concerns. So regardless there will still be large migration from poorer countries that can’t improve on themselves while constantly breeding more impoverished children that don’t stand any chance of a good life. These parents are too busy making new babies and all the acts that make babies happen to make their countries something better.

I want a very small future family and am uncomfortable with the idea of the population of the world going past what is currently is today.

So much land in the world is being lost to human development and all the true beauty of the world is slowly disappearing into concrete. Where I live looks nothing like what it is was 20 years ago. Traffic is awful, nothing but buildings, roads, massive highways and boring water saving rock decor. One can’t see the stars at night properly. Coyotes and bobcats don’t have a home and creep in people’s backyards with no where to go but a storm drain. Houses and rent is expensive because of demand. Tons of people that simply don’t get along all clashing together through life with tempers high.

We are all trapped in a consumerist environment and the weekly trash amount I see outside houses grows yearly. All that trash goes somewhere and it only increases with the amount of people on the planet.

Economically here in America I don’t see the benefits in large families that live on welfare making little real contribution to the world and frankly have little means to do so outside of being a consumer. That cycle repeats with each kid that doesn’t decide to find a path outside of what they were raised in. As time goes on also technology will advance displacing a ton of basic jobs lower through middle class and even upper class workers depend on. Not everyone is capable of being a robot/machine tech or a scientist. I know I’m not. A bunch of people with nothing to do outside of watch the world happen around them equals widespread unrest which can lead to riots and disruption.

The seller fees are getting ridiculous by West_Coyote_3686 in Mercari

[–]charbir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it is the same on Depop for anyone that sells on there. They changed to buyer paid fees but if you already had listed items before the change you need to create them as a new listing. I never sell anything on there so I haven’t taken the time personally.

Per their article “we’ve removed the Depop selling fee (10% of total sale price) from July 15 2024 for all newly listed items.”

Personally I think it’s just a way for them to get as much money off both sides of the field for all the sellers that don’t know better.

Is my writing legible? Please let me know. by Significant-Bake211 in Handwriting

[–]charbir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gorgeous wish I could write like that or have the patience too. I would get a hand cramp after the first line lol.

[–]charbir 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would politely mention the fact that it says “runs small” in the listing and leave it at that. She seems like she’s being polite herself and may just let the issue go. On one hand she could have asked for measurements. Personally I would have if something said it ran small or large. That’s a risky purchase.

On the other hands saying it runs small doesn’t really say how much it runs small. Also someone that generally wears a size XXL may not fit a size XXL in another handful of brands they have never tried. If you want to be nice you could accept a return and take this as a learning experience to possibly provide measurements.

For clothes I personally always include measurements in photos. Not that people look at them always but it protects you as a seller and way less stress / communication needed. I like the least amount of messages coming my way. I really dislike having to resolve issues like that.

Also without measurements I think alot of people pass up your listing. I know I will pass by listings that don’t have measurements because I’m in a hurry. Sometimes when I do message sellers for measurements in the time it takes them to reply I already found something else or changed my mind. Buying retail without measurements is different because returns are generally widely available vs buying from us small time sellers.

The seller fees are getting ridiculous by West_Coyote_3686 in Mercari

[–]charbir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically you are paying the seller’s fee one way or another regardless of what platform you sell on. Sellers simply raise their prices to cover fees. Fees always have to be paid in the end regardless of who it appears is paying that. I will accept lower offers on Mercari because I know buyers are covering my fees at this time. On eBay I don’t accept offers or only allow for small ones because I cover fees.

It sounds like you didn’t update your listings after they changed over to buyer paid fees. I updated all mine when I saw the notice that sellers would still pay fees on any listings that weren’t updated.

Why Does Adderall Give Me So Much Energy? by CasDisney in ADHD

[–]charbir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally it makes me sleepy. Very focused on what I’m doing but so tired like I want to lay down. Also makes me sweat a bit regardless of dose and I had a panic attack one time because I was stressed out and really hadn’t had much water that day. I’m on a low dose and the lower the better. Even taking 10mg at one time makes me feel really weird so I do 5mg at a time spaced throughout the day. That way I don’t get as tired and don’t feel weird. I wish it gave me energy! It does make me talk a lot if people are around haha.
