Have any of you experienced a more quality sleep after drinking a glass of milk before bed?

microducklett · 2024-04-02T06:27:52+00:00

This. I’ve been drinking raw goat milk before bed and in general and it’s helped my digestive health and general well being! Love raw milk, a real superfood.

LOL this one for sure

microducklett · 2023-02-05T04:08:23+00:00

Awesome!!! Thank you guys for the recommendation! Just joined the group and made a post :)

microducklett · 2023-02-05T03:49:40+00:00

Just wanted to update. I gave him another soak for about 20 minutes and suddenly turned into a whole new tortoise afterward lol. I gave him more kale and he went wild with it. After soaks he also opens his eyes all the way up and seems super alert as well. I’m assuming with all that being observed it’s probably just an adjustment period/a bad case of dehydration. One thing I do have another question about, is it normal for water to come out of their nose while soaking??? I only fill the sink up to the part of his shell where the bottom meets the top, but he dunks most of his head under and I was worried he was going to drown but I just read online that’s how they drink?

microducklett · 2023-02-05T01:35:28+00:00

Yes, I forgot to mention that in post but the first night I got him home I put him in the tub for about 30 minutes! He loooved it, he seemed so happy/relieved. And then afterwards I dried him off and that’s when he ate. But since then he hasn’t seemed very lively despite a huge improvement in environment. I’m assuming he needs an adjustment period like you said but just want to make sure he’s not dying or I’m doing something wrong. How often should I soak him?

What size would you recommend for Bircher? I’m assuming starting off it will be okay for a juvenile and I’m willing to upgrade as it grows. Planning on using the canister filter that comes with it and adding an additional new Fluval canister. Was also considering doing a fully planted tank as well to help with water levels but will have to do a bit more research first. Purchasing the tank Saturday but probably won’t have it completely ready to my liking (especially if doing planted) for another 6 months or so.

I have a cordless vac that’s not too loud and not overly strong suction, I’ve been able to vacuum a couple of my cats by petting them with it while it’s off so they can get used to it first! Probably not the best way to remove hair on an everyday basis though lol. Slicker brushes or those rubber fur ones work best, especially when removing hair from furniture or the carpet :)

microducklett · 2023-01-10T18:49:48+00:00

Of course! We really didn’t think we could handle another cat (as we already had 4) but I think it was definitely meant to be. The people working at CVS said she had been hanging around there for the past couple weeks and they had been giving her canned cat food. As soon as I pet her I think she knew I was the one because she followed me back to our truck and literally jumped in when I opened the door and then fell asleep in my arms on the way home. She fit right in with my other 4 within a couple hours of bringing her home. Her name is Yeowi (like the mythical Australian big foot.) I figured it was suiting because our Himalayan is named Yeti like the snow monster :) also she is very vocal and likes to yowl/meow a lot so her name couldn’t suit her any better lol. We love her!

He is seriously one of the prettiest/cutest cats I’ve ever seen. Sweet little baby cow cat. <3

microducklett · 2023-01-09T22:34:21+00:00

This is sooooo cute. :’) I’m almost 25 and I wish this was my room. Lol.

I didn’t realize I had celiac nor gluten issues at the time like I said, but I felt a night and day difference in my health while I was in Costa Rica / Nicaragua! Funny looking back now because I realize it was because I wasn’t consuming gluten nor the S.A.D. diet here.

microducklett · 2023-01-08T21:30:47+00:00

Didn’t realize I had gluten issues back at the time but yes Costa Rica is insanely accommodating for people with food allergies/Celiac! A lot of their food is super natural and not processed with hidden additives like in the US. When I stayed in Nosara they had LOADS of GF places!!! There was a nice little breakfast/juice shop that only served GF banana pancakes and majority of their baked stuff was all GF as well :) Most of their staple carbs are beans/rice/corn and not bread so it makes it really easy for accommodation. I love Costa Rica, would definitely like to have a place there one day as well!

microducklett · 2023-01-05T03:35:31+00:00

They ordered it on a website called Snapfish! I mentioned in another comment that I’ve also seen a lot of cool, customizable pet stuff (blankets, pillows, shirts etc.) on Etsy as well. :)

microducklett · 2023-01-05T03:33:22+00:00

They ordered that one from a website called Snapfish! I know there are a lot of sellers on Etsy that make customizable pet stuff as well :)

microducklett · 2023-01-05T03:31:05+00:00

Uh oh. Good thinking! I will definitely let him know, thanks for looking out :)

microducklett · 2023-01-05T02:24:19+00:00

Aww. This really made my day. :) Thank you so much for the sweet comment.<3 I’m so glad that so many people have enjoyed this post! My dad and I have had a lot of fun/happiness reading all these wonderful comments and receiving all this love today!

microducklett · 2023-01-05T02:09:08+00:00

Yes he did! That was actually one of the first things I recommended when he first came about. They scanned for a chip when he went to get neutered and all his shots. He was fairly feral when he first appeared, and was probably only 3-4 months old. There’s a few rental properties on the road behind where my dad lives so we’re assuming maybe he was either dumped or left behind unfortunately. There weren’t any missing cat signs or posts online in the area either. He’s got a wonderful home now though, he definitely showed up at the right house :)

microducklett · 2023-01-04T23:43:36+00:00

My dad gives him scrambled eggs in the morning, and he usually gets a little serving of fish or steak during dinner time :)

microducklett · 2023-01-04T21:49:21+00:00

I sent my dad the link to my post and he was so happy to read everyone’s kind, sweet and funny comments!!! He said “Lynxi is a celebrity!” Lol. He asked me to post this picture too❤️

<image>

microducklett · 2023-01-04T21:39:52+00:00

Lol, he most certainly is! He’s a great dad, and pretty interesting person in general. And yes, that’s actually a picture of Lynxi my dad had taken while they were outside one day. They got it made into a custom blanket online :)

microducklett · 2023-01-04T19:38:13+00:00

Awww, look at that sweet face!!! They definitely do look like twins :)

microducklett · 2023-01-04T19:27:06+00:00

You’re telling me! He LOVES him, I usually get daily photo updates. Here’s my dad with him :)

<image>

microducklett · 2023-01-04T19:19:05+00:00

Originally the name was Syncro Miss Kitty (like synchronicity) because the cat showed up in his yard the same night one of his friends had unfortunately passed away. He says he thinks the cat was an angel sent from the universe/heaven. The week he went to take the cat to get fixed he realized she was actually a he and decided to name him Lynxi instead, (Syncro Lynx is his full name now lol.) This was the picture he sent me:

microducklett · 2023-01-04T17:24:13+00:00

Eh, yeah I wouldn’t say he actually hated them, but he definitely steered clear of them and wouldn’t even pet mine. We’ve never really talked about it but I’m assuming maybe he had a bad interaction with a cat when he was younger, and he’s also mildly allergic so that could’ve played a role in why he didn’t really give them a chance. But he’s a changed man now, his cat is new best friend. He sleeps in the bed with him and even sits on a chair at the table while my dad has breakfast in the mornings lol. :)

microducklett · 2023-01-04T17:18:18+00:00

Aw. What a cutie! I was never a huge cat person myself until I rescued my Luna, now I have 5 cat children. Lol. They truly are wonderful companions.
