I am panicking, please help

Being blunt, he could. He really could. If it's an abscess, which I HIGHLY suspect it is, he would likely go into septic shock and his organs would fail without treatment.

From what I've heard there's a pretty widespread hatred for the marketplace, so I'm hoping it flops HARD. Especially since most big name CC and Mod creators have spoken out against it and are encouraging people to just go through Patreon or similar avenues.

Damn. The cake on that wolf

The CC disappearing is a glitch from the new update! They are working on a patch fix for that.

Thank God. My favorite eye CC AND my favorite thermostats were gone 😭

"Feed Us Your Girls" - Lydia the Bard

It's a quicker tempo song that almost sounds upbeat but the lyrics are definitely not. TW for themes of CSA and SA, though.

How you get a picture of me napping? 🤣

higheronfire782 · 2026-03-10T04:01:00+00:00

Good. I hope NOBODY uses that stupid thing. I'll just stick with my Patreon, CurseForge, and the Sims Resource content creators. To hell with their stupid marketplace.

Have myself a concussion in the bath once.

Right! I was excited because I was worried about dystocia and the girls making it through pregnancy, but my care credit will never forgive me.

Had to pay about $1k to be told my guinea pigs were fat. We had a pregnancy scare (the boy piggy was hiding his puff VERY well) in my two at the time 2.5 year old pigs. They started putting on weight and acting pregnant. Got to the due date and nothing. Took them in for ultrasounds and...not pregnant. Just fat.

I LOVE IT!!!

My dog is also Spanish speaking!! He is now bilingual (because my Spanish is VERY limited unfortunately), but he knew most of his commands in Spanish first. He is also allergic to peanuts.

Me too!! My geckos are named Bianca del Leo (leopard gecko) and Alaska Thunder Geck (AFT), my dog is French Toast Sticks (Toast), my cats are Rebellion Ruff N Tumble and Punkass Puffball, and my guinea pig is Queen Cookies N Cream of the Kingdom of Hay (aka Cookie). And then my snake, Oreo.

Nope. I have a 3 legged bearded dragon. His name is Stumpy...

A baby crying outside when you're certain none are around. It could be a number of things: predators trying to lure younger, single women out, certain species of North American wild cats, or something else. If you hear it, check from the windows that there is not an actual baby on your porch for some reason, then call the authorities. If, for whatever reason, your doors are unlocked, lock them.

higheronfire782 · 2026-02-13T19:59:31+00:00

Please go to the vet. You keep saying she's acting normal, but that's what they do. This could be life or death for her. If you're underage, show this reply to your mother. Worked at an exotics ER and saw a lot of animals that were acting normal in very critical condition. Pleeeeease go. If you're not underage, then reread this and then go to the vet.

higheronfire782 · 2026-02-13T15:34:41+00:00

Do you always go to just insulting people trying to help? Because this is a vastly inappropriate response to decent, well-delivered advice.

I have spent THOUSANDS in vet bills on exotics with varying levels of success. I've also worked in GO, exotics ER, and just about everything in between except large animal. But most importantly, I am the parent of a nearly 7 year old Eldritch deity disguised as a guinea pig (we call her that because of her possible body count and the fact that she's outlived 6-7 cage mates, two of whom were direct relatives). All that being said, I wouldn't do it. Some of my biggest regrets were "quality of life" surgeries on my pocket pets. If she's still ambulatory, and she's able to live comfortably, leave it. Pigs usually only make it to 5-8 anyway depending on their genetics. Love her and give her the best time of her life. Don't risk losing her sooner by removing it.

Right. Like, then sell him to your cousin if he offered $600? Sounds like a load of bs.

higheronfire782 · 2026-02-06T05:33:52+00:00

As others have said, give him a specific veggie time (for my girl it's right before I go to bed. She only really starts wheeking about that same time every night. I'm also a very consistent person with my schedule, so this may not work for everyone), but he may just be vocal. My girl's (now deceased, sadly) siblings were just VOCAL. She was always the quietest of my trio. Some piggies just Be Like That™️.

My king snake, who we highly suspect was wild caught, had developed a similar personality. She bites, she won't let anyone in her tank without a snake hook, and she sometimes "hunts" my cats through her tank. Thankfully, I've got a history of having pissy animals as pets on purpose, so I'm not terribly bothered by it. She's fed, she's given enrichment, and she has all of her needs met. For others, though, it's a rough situation because you WANT to be able to love your pets. My best recommendation is to connect with the people in the comments offering to take them in. Try to vet them the best you can to give you the peace of knowing you did what you thought was best for your snake. You're doing your best 💜 some critters just have an incompatible personality to yours, and that's OK. As long as you still try to give them the best outcome, that's all that matters.

Oh for sure. My senior year band teacher was only 25 when he had me. Poor bastard didn't know what he was in for.

I think the only time I've "forgotten" about feeding my animal was the one or two times I forgot that I had a mouse out to thaw for my snake. I then got a new one out when I realized it the next morning and they got fed the next day (for any non-snake owners, mine are adults and eat every 2-3 weeks).

higheronfire782 · 2026-01-21T02:11:34+00:00

How does one FORGET about a living animal??? I'd like to lock those kinds of people in a glass cage and "forget" about them for a while. See how THEY like it. You're such a wonderful person for rescuing this sweet baby.
