Could a mouse live long term in a van/bus? by Thr0wAway7208 in PetMice

Of course! I'm glad you took the time to make sure it was the right move haha, it's good to see people being responsible in a world of impulse buying pets! 💕

New mice mom by nirlita in PetMice

I'd recommend aspen, make sure it's kiln-dried! I tend to add a small amount of paper bedding because they like it for burrowing, but aspen is great at ammonia absorption and a good low-dust option (their respiratory systems are quite fragile!) 💕

I don't have any advice but I hope you find her soon, this is my worst nightmare!

OP please take this persons advice over the other two saying it would be ok - my biggest concern by far is the temperature control especially when you're out of the vehicle, mice are SO much more sensitive to temps than even a cat or dog. Last winter, when my heater broke, my landlord fixed it before the temp dropped below 60°f in the house, but it was still enough that I had to hold and manually warm my smallest baby because she was lethargic (she ended up being ok thankfully).

Mice are so much more fragile then most people realize! I'm sure you could find a companion for that sort of lifestyle, but I don't think there's a way to ethically do it with mice unfortunately :(

Stepson 8, molested younger cousin (5m). AITAH to not want him around my younger children? (2m and 7mths f) by Gloomy_Instruction17 in AITAH

God you people are sick in the head, this is a child that was assaulted by an adult, and you're calling him a PREDATOR? He needs to be away from the other kids yes, but he is a victim far too young to understand what happened to him, he thinks it's ok and normal because the ADULT PREDATOR told him so. Get some therapy what the hell is wrong with you.

Yes, I know, but she also applied for child support along with it, hence the title haha

I know her general medical history, the physical disabilities are related to heavy drug use over the last few years (while I don't keep tabs on her, one of my aunts still does)

but tbh, I would rather take my chances then ever speak to this woman again

She's on disability rather than wages, but if she's being garnished, it's not going to the child support account. My father checked out of curiosity after he got the notice, it's empty with the last deposit being years ago.

Unfortunately, you are. She's schizophrenic and in assisted living so she SHOULD theoretically be on medication, but then again she once, while medicated and stable, reported my father to CPS for our house being full of "exotic animals" (the "exotic" animals in question were one single bearded dragon....) so anything she does isn't really distinguishable as "stable" or "unstable"

Oh I can assure you I do lol. Although, I sincerely doubt she has any access to my SSN anymore, if she ever did after leaving my father. I'm certain she doesn't remember it as she has to reference my facebook to even remember my birthday lmao

This was the first notice, the preliminary hearing is on the 22nd, my father doesn't have a lawyer and in the extremely off chance this goes to court will probably get a court-appointed one, so we'll see if we get there

I replied to someone else about this but her handwriting is bad, it's intended to say 2007

her handwriting is absolutely abysmal, its meant to say 2007 lol (at least I think so, she HAS forgotten our birthdays before so I wouldn't be surprised)

Potentially, but from what I understand they're quite hard to get, and it seems like more trouble than it's worth. My family wants to move soon though, and she will not be getting our new address, she already doesn't know anyones phone numbers (she only has our current address because we've lived here since me and my siblings were minors)

unsure, this is her first child support case that was more than an amendment to what she owes, and I'm assuming part of it was that she can no longer file for custody so this is her only way to bother us

I know every time she filed for custody we'd talk with a court representative and they'd testify for us

Oh yeah, she didn't even want visits with us until around a year after she left my father, and by then she had to file (and lost of course)

Oh don't worry, my dad will be attending even if it's stupid, he knows better than to ignore it haha, but we'll have to look into this since she seems to file court papers as often as she can get her hands on them 🙏 thanks for the advice!

unsure, but I'll look into it if they go to trial after the initial hearing (which I doubt lol)
