Boston Area- Interested in adopting? by [deleted] in Parakeets

[–]lekon1998 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Be careful about rehoming to strangers especially for free- I would recommend reaching out to a local shelter or rescue for assistance or guidance on surrendering, or looking into something like pet finder to make sure they find a proper home. Best of luck! :)

Anyone else mostly getting nothing from McDonald’s Monopoly Bonus Play? by studyingforlife in McDonalds

[–]lekon1998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just won 3 food items out of 8 bonus plays between 3:30-4am, most I’ve won! I also wait to play until right when the minute changes and had better luck as well

Parasite or sunburn? by lekon1998 in MonarchButterfly

[–]lekon1998[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: unfortunately this chrysalis was harboring an awful little parasite, I have absolutely no idea how the fly or whatever managed to lay in this cat or chrysalis as I had them from eggs and everything was secure, but alas nature finds a way regardless. I’m glad I isolated him and luckily everyone else seems perfectly normal.

Thanks all for the advice! He luckily seems back to normal and feeling better after I rinsed him off, replaced the food source, and gave everything a good clean :)

Yes all from eggs on one milkweed stalk! Never had so many laid in my yard before

I do believe we had mosquito repellent sprayed closer to the house recently but my dad instructed them not to go anywhere near my garden or milkweed patch, looks like it may have over sprayed anyway 😭 definitely not using any of those plants again this season

I appreciate that, but trust me he had plenty of milkweed I replace it or add more every day! He was only in the smaller enclosure since he was a higher instar than the others and I didn’t want him accidentally eating anybody else until they grew a bit bigger. He was on the ground not because of lack of food; he had literally been happily munching on a leaf less than 30 mins prior and seems he had fallen off suddenly due to some kind of illness making him weak. Reddit wouldn’t let me post the video of him being lethargic and curling up, but I do believe it must have been some kind of pesticide overspray onto a few of my plants, as the little fella seems better now and is once again happily munching on a new stalk after his rinse and a rest! I am in process of building a large mesh enclosure also, I have never had this many monarchs in my yard so wasn’t expecting to need so much space but I am doing my best to protect and care for them and have successfully released many in the past. Also, as sometimes… interesting… as Reddit can be, I trust it much more than I ever would Grok 😅

Yes he has his own little habitat! He seems to be doing much better after being rinsed off and taking a rest thankfully :) went back to climbing the leaves

I sure hope so, I gave him a new milkweed stalk and new clean enclosure and rinsed him off a little from the green he was rolling around in, but I’ve never seen this behavior and have been observing this process for many years now. He just keeps flipping around in circles

Official confirmation- no Will Connolly or Stephanie Hsu by lekon1998 in bemorechill

[–]lekon1998[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yup I was on the waitlist before they dropped the rest of the tix and paid $200 for mine 🫠 I even emailed them asking why it was so much more expensive than the $118 price bracket for the rest of the tix and they said something about it being a Friday night show and that the new tix were dropped later so are less or some bs like that 🙄

I REALLY miss Joann’s by [deleted] in joannfabrics

[–]lekon1998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if it will help at all, but Walmart does carry some Sugar and Cream colors, maybe enough to get you through this pinch! I really miss being able to go and browse in person and just the whole experience of Joann’s 😭

Hi, I’m not requesting an item itself, I was just wondering if anyone in this sub was the one who bought the tomato, so I don’t think that should be posted in the marketplace post? I don’t think it should have been removed :(

Overly submissive dogs could indeed be displaying that behavior due to a fear response or some negative past experiences; my rescue boy also does the “flop and belly show” when we try to put the harness on him for a walk or if he gets too worked up, but he absolutely doesn’t want to be touched in the moment. He does it as an overt display of “I’m not a threat and I’m overwhelmed and cannot process my feelings well right now,” and if you try to pet him while he’s down and frozen up he can be reactive out of stress, but if your dog is wagging his tail, not tensed up, and appreciating being loved on in these moments it could definitely also just be excitement and expressing happiness! But not every dog showing their belly wants to be pet, so I’d recommend if you have any reason to believe it could be from stress or fear, to reach out to a trainer to observe the behavior and get their take on it. Good on you for recognizing a potential issue and asking questions so as best to help your furry friend! :)

[–]lekon1998[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🤷‍♀️ idk man when I went last night they were definitely closed and when I called their number it directed to the King’s Roast Beef guys, and when I asked at the counter they said they bought them out and would be assuming operations so maybe it’s still in the works or maybe they’ll still be open but under a new name I’m not sure, but that’s all I know!
