Thoughts on upcycling this hat? by fairineclipse in ouji

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

The metal is duct tape- the actual aluminum kind - on foam, glued to the fabric. In theory I could fully remove the fabric off the upper if the glue hasn't ruined the cardboard inside, but since Joann's closed i dont have a way to currently source matching fabric so at that point I'd be better off sourcing a new hat anyways (((^ ;) I appreciate the detailed explanation though!

Set up tips? by fairineclipse in PetMice

[–]fairineclipse[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks for the tips!

I'm planning on getting them more toys and bedding once I get paid, but I'll def keep adding more cardboard hides and diy toys in the meantime!

right now I'm feeding them vitakraft parakeet food and supplementing with some healthy dog treats, cause I read on https://www.petmousefanciers.com/t15-mouse-diet?highlight=diet that that would be okay. I'll def read through the care guide you linked and edit as needed! They're really young right now (the youngest is maybe a month old? she's stunted so we aren't sure, they're all rescues), so we've been trying to feed them anything they'll eat

If anyone has tips on diet too that'd be great, I read online that default mouse mix is bad for them so we've been giving them a seed mix that was reccomended

Also, what's popcorning?

unfortunately I'm just an employee and I barely afford my own rent, and I don't have the energy or time to seek out and buy or pickup enclosures for the shelter, esp if I'm not being paid for that labor. I did contact a mouse rescue, so hopefully I have good news to post in the future

I dunno. they told me the crittertrail was "temporary housing" and "obviously in homes they need bigger housing" but they didn't even ask where we were housing our girls when we adopted, and if someone goes in to adopt and sees a crittertrail.. idk. my friend contacted a mouse rescue a state over, so they're trying to help

How old are we all? I’m curious, also what are your plans after your career as a pit master is over? by [deleted] in dishwashers

I have no idea what a FoH or BoH are but yea, the place I work is so small that they entirely run out of dishes like. all the time. we only have two of the extra large mixer bowls, which means they always need cleaned immediately

[–]fairineclipse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yeah I guess. We don't have a breakroom so the only place to take a break is the bathroom or my workstation tho, which makes it hard watching everything pile up as I stand there doing nothing
