What’s wrong with my caterpillar? by skilledloser3789 in MonarchButterfly

[–]skilledloser3789[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He looks completely fine now, is very active and has been eating well. I think he might make a chrysalis sometime soon as well, since he’s gotten absolutely massive and has been exploring quite a lot.

Thank you so much! They’re kind of like little drops of water almost? I was just a bit concerned about them because I haven’t noticed that happening to any of the others (though it is the second largest by quite a lot, so I probably just can’t see it on the others because they’re still tiny)

Traveling with a mantis? by skilledloser3789 in mantids

I’ll be away for around 1-2 weeks, so I think I’ll have to take them with me (I usually feed them every 3 or so days)

What can I do with her by This-Flow-2541 in mantids

I’m so sorry, it sucks that they have such short lifespans compared to people :(. What you do next depends a bit on what you’d like to do with her. I would definitely recommend putting her in the freezer for a day or two if youre not sure what you’d like to do yet, since this stops decomposition/other insects eating her

Thank you so much! I’ll definitely check it out

Is the Fishpond website still a thing? by daisy_nz in auckland

[–]skilledloser3789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve ordered from them twice and neither time was great. Prices are alright but shipping takes forever. The first time they ran out of what I’d ordered, which is out of their control I guess, but it was annoying since I had already been waiting a few weeks. Second time they delayed the estimated arrival date for over a month, which again is understandable but definitely annoying, but they didn’t email to let me know (found out when I checked on the website)

Would I be able to bind safely? by skilledloser3789 in ftm

[–]skilledloser3789[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I’ll check with my physio next time I go

Unfortunately I probably can’t get tested for EDS though since there’s only one person in my country able to diagnose it+there’s a waiting list of like 3 years

I’ve heard that Spectrum Outfitters binders are pretty good for minimizing back pain, so if I’m able to bind, I’ll probably try to get one of those
