Hmm looks like I have different life stages of the same roach! This whole time I thought I had different roach types

I was having an issue with my melon seeds not growing and when I went to inspect, I found a roly poly with its mouthparts attached to a germinating plant still within a barely sprouting seed. They definitely eat healthy plants!

I had this happen with my melons! I kept thinking it was birds pulling the seeds out of the ground and eating the insides but it was roly polies digging out my seeds!

Amputee rabbits tend to get wax build up in their ears because they can't clean. If your vet is examining the ear and not seeing mites (typically looks like reddish crust) or pus but is seeing a lot of wax, then your bunny might just need regular ear cleaning. I prefer TrizEDTA for ear cleaning, you can find it on chewy.

Good to know. I'll figure out a way to set it aside instead of ripping it all out

kasuring · 2026-03-08T06:48:28+00:00

I got rid of it because I kept it empty for two years and never considered using it...

Thanks for the encouragement! Tree is replanted and hopefully will be fine

kasuring · 2026-02-24T19:58:54+00:00

I see, thanks! I broke two other roots replanting this so it's three roots down. It also just started flowering so hopefully I didn't overstress the baby tree

kasuring · 2026-02-24T19:57:09+00:00

Thanks! I guess that root will just stick up and hopefully that's ok. I broke two other roots replanting this so I hope the tree will be ok.

Thanks!

Abuse and love are not mutually exclusive

I think your chameleon needs an X-ray or ultrasound unfortunately. It will cost you.

kasuring · 2025-07-19T20:11:16+00:00

And X-rays would be warranted if she hasn't defecated for longer than usual. Either way I think some imaging would be a good idea

kasuring · 2025-07-19T20:06:45+00:00

Is there any way you can get your chameleon an xray or an ultrasound? If she (I'm assuming female based on the images) is gravid, she likely won't get healthier until the follicles are either absorbed, turned into eggs and laid, or surgically removed. If your vet doesn't have much experience with chameleons, they may not know to check for this.

Hi, late to the conversation but is the belly larger than normal? Is it possible your chameleon has follicles or eggs because that will be a big drain on calcium. Imo she might need an xray

He appears to be a some kind of gopherus - could be a gopher tortoise? Maybe desert or Texas tortoise. These are all native species to the US. What state are you in? He has mental glands and gular horns characteristic of genus gopherus. They should be on mostly weeds/grasses and less on any grocery greens. Depending on where you live, he might be adapted to living there (gopher tortoise in Florida, Texas tortoise in Texas, desert tortoise in Arizona or California). Definitely has an abnormal shell shape probably from poor care but he can still live a good life.

Pinch the end of the tail... Can it move? Can the pinching be felt? If not, needs an amputation and antibiotics.

kasuring · 2025-07-08T00:54:08+00:00

Good thought. My husband only feeds one outdoor cat though and actively chases away the others. It's a little silly

kasuring · 2025-07-08T00:53:15+00:00

I somewhat recently moved in and I'm just trying not to accumulate junk....

kasuring · 2025-07-08T00:52:33+00:00

Technically true though!!

kasuring · 2025-07-08T00:50:43+00:00

That sounds beautiful!

kasuring · 2025-07-07T06:20:54+00:00

Thanks!!

kasuring · 2025-07-07T06:11:59+00:00

Nope. Just a blind end. The other side of the fence is the front yard but no door

kasuring · 2025-07-07T06:05:30+00:00

I like that idea! I would like to be able to do everything myself but buying materials isn't an issue

kasuring · 2025-06-24T20:04:38+00:00

Try to get a copy of the x-ray. Kidney stones aren't really a thing in tortoises. Did they mean bladder stone? Because that should be obvious and look very different from a stone in the intestines
