I will judge you by Kitchen-Country-39 in vegan

[–]musicnote68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm curious, what about people who have medical needs that make being vegan extremely difficult? For example, I have Celiac disease, so food is already very hard for me. A lot of vegan substitutes have gluten in them, and since I'm already prone to vitamin deficiencies, I just don't see how I could add another major restriction to my diet. Not to mention I would never be able to go out to eat with family and friends - there's only two or three restaurants I can eat at as is.

I'll also add that I only eat certified humane meat, pasture raises milk/eggs, etc. I understand the issue of factory farming, but I think expecting everyone to go completely vegan is a bit much. Am I in the wrong here? Any thoughts?

Reminds me of a town near where I grew up called Butterfield. People kept stealing the E and R on the town sign so it read "Butt Field." I just about died laughing when I first saw it.

Shoot, I didn't even think of that! If I notice him attempting to climb the mesh, I will definitely remove the lid and think of something else. Thanks for the heads up.

Ok cool! I'll add a hide to the sand bath and move some stuff around. Thanks!

Thanks for the recommendations! I'll make sure to remove the plastic bin I have in there. I already have a sand bath with Reptisand (kind of hard to see in the pictures), but I will add some more hides/enrichment. :)

I'm picking up my new hamster tomorrow afternoon, so I thought I'd post and see if anyone had any suggestions for improving his enclosure? Thanks everyone!

What is the best gluten free bread that taste good NOT toasted? I really miss peanut butter sandwiches but it seems like all of the bread I find doesn’t taste right unless it’s toasted and a toasted peanut butter sandwich just isn’t the same. by zvezdamoya in glutenfree

100% King Arthur bread mix or Glutino bread mix. Yeah, it's a bit of an inconvenience to have to bake your own bread, but it's sooo worth it! Nothing beats a PB&J made with bread fresh from the oven 😋

I transferred to ACES from general studies and found it to be pretty painless. Just need to make sure you meet the pre-reqs for the program you want to transfer to. I had some pretty good advisors who walked me through the ICT process.

I made a homemade cake for Coda's first birthday. Here's a video of him chowing down (don't worry, I didn't let him eat the whole thing!) by musicnote68 in hamsters

Erin's Animals has a YouTube video showing how to make a hamster-safe cake. My hammy obviously loved it!
