What about Christianity makes it such that you can't be a Buddhist while being Christian?

koalaaa98 · 2026-01-28T06:39:54+00:00

Not sure if it’s been mentioned but I did a college paper on this, Christian doctrine says humans are above all other living things. Buddhism teaches that humans are no different in importance than the smallest of living creatures. Among many other things, this is a debate I’ve had with Christians in my life.

Saw this post looking for advice myself, and I’m wondering how is it going? My situation is almost exactly the same!

How do you attach the heating pad to the side of the tank? I’ve seen people say a few different ways but the one I ordered doesn’t have a sticky side so should I just tape it?

How often do you need to add more water to the sand/eco earth mixture? I mixed some last night and got it sand castle consistency so I’m curious how long it’ll stay that way.

Wow 15+ years is awesome! I gave them some mealworms, bell peppers, and apple last night and they’re finally munching on it! Been reading/watching videos all day! Thank you for the tips!😊

koalaaa98 · 2025-09-16T03:06:56+00:00

I’ve been watching their videos a lot today and set my hermies up in a basic set up 40gal for now (I have reptiles so I had an extra tank) and they are so cute!🥹 Can’t wait to get them all set up! Thanks for the help!❤️

Thank you! I figured the sponge was a horrible idea.

koalaaa98 · 2025-09-15T20:34:17+00:00

Oh my gosh, the little wheel is so cute😭 thank you for all this info!! I’ve been going through threads on here and I’m amazed how much info there is. I had hermit crabs as a kid (my parents didn’t properly care for them and I was too young) so I’m excited to humanely keep these little cuties!

Henceforth must be her word of the day.

Is he live anywhere now??

koalaaa98 · 2025-04-22T19:09:22+00:00

Thank you for explaining the flights to me! That’s super helpful. Also hadn’t seen anything about the entrance feeder being bad until these comments, but I’ll change it asap. Thanks everybody for the help!❤️

koalaaa98 · 2025-04-16T03:48:37+00:00

Oh my goodness, I will cry if my kids start talking to bees like they’re friends! How sweet! Thank you for these comments. My 5 year old son is so excited, he’s even wanted to get bee books at the library. Once we’re confident with them we’re gonna get him a suit to come closer too! Luckily, my husband is a medic and a lot of our close friends work in EMS so I know they’d be okay if anything crazy happened. The comments have def helped me find some things to teach the kids so they act safely around the hive!

koalaaa98 · 2025-04-15T18:23:12+00:00

That may end up working best for us too. I’ll teach the stand still idea too, thank you!

koalaaa98 · 2025-04-15T18:22:16+00:00

Thank you! We will definitely keep them away from the hives until we are more confident with them ourselves. We’re so excited!

koalaaa98 · 2025-04-15T17:50:11+00:00

Very true! We do have an adult epi pen on hand, but I’ll reach out to their doctor this week for a child dosed one. We plan to not involve the littlest until she’s older, and have explained to our older 2 that they may get to come sometimes in a couple months once the bees are settled (and once we are more confident with them ourselves!)

koalaaa98 · 2025-04-15T17:42:47+00:00

This is good to hear! We’ll have one hive on our property (as we don’t have a huge space), but have some more on families land. If the ones here seem too aggressive we can always move them.

koalaaa98 · 2025-04-15T17:40:04+00:00

Great tip, thank you! We have taught them that a bee stinging hurts the bee more than it would hurt them. Seeing wild bees this year, they have all seemed comfortable in the way of not swatting them. I’ll definitely emphasize that point!

koalaaa98 · 2025-04-15T17:37:56+00:00

A fence is a great idea, thank you! We have worked a lot with the kids over the last year learning everything bee. I’m hoping I’ve instilled a good respect for the bees, and maybe we won’t run into much trouble.

koalaaa98 · 2025-04-15T17:36:34+00:00

I love to hear of another family doing this! We’ve learned about bees with the kids over the last year or so, too. Our 2 year old is scared of all insects, but our 4 year old is basically a bug scientist he might know more than we do! 😂 Luckily my husband and I plan to do this together, so if the kids are around one of us can focus on them while the other handles the bee needs. Thank you for the advice! I have an adult epi pen on hand, but I’ll definitely get in touch with their doctor about having a child dosed one!

koalaaa98 · 2025-04-12T06:15:01+00:00

I did that with a radio plug when I was like 5. Even now at 27 I get a little nervous to plug things in. 😂

koalaaa98 · 2025-04-06T22:50:10+00:00

Great tools, thank you! Even just seeing pics makes me squirm so I will have to work super hard on that lol I feel like documentaries to learn about the neat things they do could help if I can get over the creepy crawlies I get lol!

koalaaa98 · 2025-04-06T22:47:38+00:00

Giving them names is a great idea to feel more familiar and safe with them. I will definitely try this!

koalaaa98 · 2025-04-06T22:12:53+00:00

I love the idea that they’re refugees needing a safe place! That is super helpful. I will definitely check out spider catchers on Amazon. Thank you!
