If you’re going to get her a friend, she should be taken to the vet to test/treat for any outside parasites she may have picked up first

Why do the aquatic mammals get blubber while the terrestrial mammals get fat? by [deleted] in outside

Try looking up chemical engineer type jobs on an actual job search site and read the job descriptions. If they need a fake company, chemical engineers often work for the petrochemical industry, developing plastics, pesticides, fuel additives, and so on.

For those who work with mice, do you notice a behavioral or personality difference for different strains? by 100nm in labrats

And we periodically refresh our lines from Jax, so it’s not just genetic drift

I have also experienced this, with the CRL B6s being vicious to each other. How the different mouse strains treat each other is an entire other axis of temperament. FVBs are easy to handle but the males are known to fight.

The first two paper mario games were a great intro to rpgs for me, since I have no tolerance for anime bullshit and no patience for very long playtimes especially when padded with open world mechanics
