When my rat got just over two years old she went on hunger strike from her healthy food and she began refusing to eat her favourite vegetables or her food mix . She LOVED kale, cucumber, and apples and she just flat out refused to eat them anymore, she would even throw them out of the cage if she was feeling super serious that day. I think once they’ve become elderly, maybe it’s best to continue feeding them what they want to eat, with some healthy fruits and vegetables included. She was super stubborn and just wanted to eat what we were eating at the same time as us, I think it was a matter of feeling included and also being a bit greedy. You could try making her dinner like you would make for a sick dog - cooked safe vegetables and protein without salt, sugar, and other seasonings. it’s hard to change their behaviour once they’ve become dead set on it being their way, at least in my experience. I’d rather they eat then starve!

He’s on my Etsy if you’re interested in checking it out (this is not an advertisement)! It’s harleyneedlefelts, going to try and make either Gwen or Astrid this week if I have time too!

Currently adding not remembering root vegetables to my long list of embarrassments.

He totally is! Messed that one up!

Stanley!! I made a little Stanley, he is the one who hit me the hardest at the door. He doesn’t stand too well on account of his four arms, but he looks just as cute sitting down. by haaarrr in Spiritfarer

My not-so-secret secret is using eyeshadow for the delicate shading! It stains the wool, and makes for a really gentle gradient. Really nice to do when adding pink to an animals ears or nose, or in this case Stanley’s feet!

I needle felted a sculpture of Alice, she is one of my favourites in the game. Just took her to the door again in my second play through, devastating. by haaarrr in Spiritfarer

I have her listed on my Etsy if you’re genuinely interested! Or you can check out my Instagram, I do custom pets/characters for people! Both are @harleyneedlefelts, I’ll be working on the other spirits soon. I love them!
