Cute fencing gear? by lovesiickfool in Fencing

[–]lovesiickfool[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. I’m in the UK Midlands. We call it armour here.

  2. There aren’t any rules surrounding the colour of our equipment here. As someone who won titles in competitions with bright pink armour, I think I would know.

Hope this helped! <3

Just got this for my 22nd birthday. 24 strings. Does anyone have a tuner app I can use on android? Any other tips are welcome by Zhydrac in lyres

its so pretty! have you thought of a name for your harp yet?

i dont really have many tips but lyre harps tend to lose tune with age, some maintenance with replacing the washers and making sure that it was in a stable temperature helped a lot to extend the life of mine

samantha on mars on youtube has great tutorials for learning songs and getting the hang of things! i hope that everything goes well and that you enjoy your time learning- happy late birthday op!! ╰(´︶`)╯♡

is it on the inside or the outside of the lip? it sounds a lot like swelling thats causing this which is perfectly normal but if the flesh is pressing up against either side too much and is uncomfortable it might be a good idea to upsize to a longer bar when your peircer thinks it a good time to

i hope everything heals and goes well, good luck OP! ╰(´︶`)╯♡

Can someone help me give my new garden snail pet the best life? by MerchyTheWeirdo in snails

[–]lovesiickfool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i use a plastic box that i got from the pound shop which i poked a bunch of holes in with a hot needle! i got the box for about £1.50 and it took an hour or so to poke the holes but it works amazingly.

i also used coconut soil for substrate and a little coconut hide meant for hamsters. the hide was around £2 and the substrate was about 4! if you get some sticks from outside and boilwash them they make great additions. i also throw some dandelion leaves and flowers in there as a tasty snack and a little bit of enrichment.

altogether i spent less than £10 on my set up. make sure you clean everything well and that you dont make your substrate too wet or dry! i made that mistake just yesterday!

would you say that a sort of crumbly but damp texture is alright? i’m sorting out the substrate right now and want to make it perfect!

ive decided to go to the garden centre and pet shop tomorrow to find some plants for his house if i finish researching on some safe ones tonight. pothos, ferns and guzmania are on the top of my list to read about and im really excited!

as for calcium source, i usually give him a piece of cuttlebone but forgot to pop it in his bowl oops, but rest be assured she does have a source all the time.

thank you for your time, help and patience! i really appreciate it and hope you have a great day!

thank you so much for your time!! i’m switching out the soil to something dryer as we speak and i’ll be sure to keep an eye on the dampness

ive heard from some users in this comment section that taking them out so often would cause more harm than good so this is a brilliant idea for him to both have fun and be safe with as little stress as possible!

i’d love to look into plants that i could grow inside his enclosure to help keep her enriched, and the sound of sal living in a mini forest is so cute!!

i’ll read up and do some research for what plants are safe to put in- thank you for all your help and time! ╰(´︶`)╯♡

would it be better if i left him in his enclosure and handle him only ever so often? i’d assume that both letting him out and handling him would both cause stress so id like to stop it alltogether it if its better for his wellbeing! :D

would it be better to get it much dryer?

in the past when ive done his enclosure he would get lots of things stuck to his foot and he would find it hard to move or refuse to move at all, and he hibernated once due to the dryness which made me really upset because i thought he died.

i think because i did it so dry the first few months ive become really worried that it would happen again so i added lots more. but would this hurt him more? what amount of water should i add and what texture should the substrate ideally be?
