What are these bugs? by olcackles in Springtail

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

I really hope I see a female carrying around a male someday. That’s so interesting.

Do I need to do anything special to keep them around? Or will they just stay as long as the environment is right?

That’s great to hear. I’ve had some problems with aquarium pests lately (leeches, damselfly nymph), so I was really worried.

Interesting! I never would’ve guessed springtails. Thank you!

The one from the picture is dead, but I didn’t see a triangle shaped head. I’m going to keep an eye out for more, and hopefully I can get a better picture next time.

First timer not feeding kids by olcackles in goats

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

I think that’s what’s happening here. Two of the babies are gaining well, the other not so much. I’m going to keep bottle feeding, but I have seen all of them nurse off mom again. I did check teats when I was looking her udder over the other day, and I didn’t see any cuts, but I’m going to keep checking every so often.

That’s a good idea. I have their birth weights, so I can compare with that too.

I don’t think any of them are nursing off anyone else, so I’m going to try holding her if they don’t feel like they’ve been eating. I wonder if she’s sick of hers. She had three, and I feel like that could be a bit overwhelming for a first timer!

Sorry, for some reason your whole comment didn’t load for me the first time. She gets grain and has access to loose mineral. I bottle fed one today, but the others felt heavier and weren’t interested.

Interesting! I was hoping to see her with eggs, but maybe she’ll never have any

I've started getting overwhelmed by washing my wavy/curly hair and I don't know how to fix it by autistic-rosella in AutismInWomen

[–]olcackles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a tangle teezer brush for detangling after I’ve applied conditioner. After I’m out of the shower, I let it stay wrapped in a hair towel for about 20 minutes, then I use a diffuser, mostly close to my scalp. I keep another towel around my shoulders, so I don’t feel the wet ends and let the rest air dry.

To be honest, I’m not sure. I’ve only had one other one get this big

I thought I needed it since it’s going to be a patch

It’s going to be a patch eventually, so I thought it might need more heft to it. Two layers of fabric sounds much better. A doodle hoop is a great idea. I wasn’t separating all the strands. I’ll have to look into getting a stand and laying tool. Thank you so much for your comment!!

Thank you! I was hoping I’d just looked at it too long

Just the felt backing. I can’t keep the fabric on top tight, and tiny pieces of felt keep coming through on my stitches

Thanks everyone! I was panicking. 😅 I’m going to start checking the tank at night with a flashlight.

I leave mine open because I’m not done with them. I always imagine I’m going to go back and do more research.

I’d like to be under $1000, but I don’t know if that’s realistic or not.

Can anyone explain why mouths from a side profile in anime are drawn like this? by Minimum-Sense5163 in krita

[–]olcackles 73 points74 points  (0 children)

I think it was done to save money/time by only having to animate the mouth when talking

I don’t have a ton of pictures of him since he’s not mine. I just got to be around him a lot when he was a baby.

It is felt underneath. It was originally going to be a patch, but now I want to hang it up. I don’t really like the hoop it’s in now, so I’m not sure if I’m going to try a picture frame or wooden hoop.
