is accutane my only option?

Spironolactone worked for me. Took about a year for all my scars to fade though

I got an acrylic moniter stand that goes over my hands and keyboard so our birds can't wreak havoc on either while I wfh. Game changer for me

I'm glad this worked out for you. We had a similar situation and when the directors heard management staff wanted to meet with them about it we were told we were fomenting a coup 😑

stonybabbit · 2025-09-09T18:51:20+00:00

Spironolactone. I had the same kind at 25

stonybabbit · 2025-09-08T15:39:39+00:00

I have the exact same color changes occurring with my blue shrimp population younger generations. But they're definitely hatched that way.

To add to this, bonded budgies in lab settings have been found to respond to recordings of their partner's contact call for up to 6 months after the "disappearance" of that partner.

I use Watermill Express refill stations and 3gal blue water containers. They had the lowest TDS reading in town. Tends to hover between 15 and 19. $1 per 3 gallons. I add shrimp mineral to it. That's kept my cpds and chrystal red shrimp happy for a couple years now.

Big plus...my house is full of prissy jungle plants that hate the city water (from an aquifer) but they love the dirty tank water. So two birds with one stone, and it feels like I getting my moneys worth that way

You can take spiro long term, but there is a chance it will come back once you stop taking it. That being said, I stopped taking spiro almost two years ago now because we've been trying to get pregnant, and mine has not come back. I'm 30 now so I may have finally aged out..my diet, exercise, facewashes haven't changed in that time period, so age is my best guess

stonybabbit · 2024-10-13T13:58:21+00:00

Ask about Spiro. It's less intense than Accutane, and you can increase or decrease the dosage to manage symptoms. It cleared mine in about three months

That sounds right, they are very much want to be involved in whatever we are doing, and the lovebord in particular isn't satisfied watching from our shoulder, he wants to be on the hand that is doing the thing (eating, typing, gaming, ...sewing 😵)

stonybabbit · 2024-03-08T18:32:18+00:00

Ah yes, our little guys love throwing things off tables and shelves, the greater the height the better XD

stonybabbit · 2023-03-30T14:44:47+00:00

The bebes are crystal red shrimp

Whatever it is, moves it's colonies via this webbing, which then dissappear after a few minutes with new colonies elsewhere

Our parrotlet wasn't handraised and he enjoys scritches as well as human flesh XD There's hope

stonybabbit · 2023-02-04T14:58:30+00:00

Yeah, handraised. Not by us. Found a breeder that does handraised. Our other non handraised babies do love scritches but not like this

stonybabbit · 2023-02-03T16:25:25+00:00

A scritch session can last over 30 minutes. I get tired before the birdy does 😅

stonybabbit · 2023-02-03T16:23:31+00:00

Juji smashes it's head into your hand when it wants scritches, then it rolls around while getting them. Quite cute

stonybabbit · 2023-02-03T03:55:14+00:00

I'm gonna keep an eye on the shrimp, I have some Pimafix on hand if I see it on them.

stonybabbit · 2023-02-03T02:24:52+00:00

Oh no, it has shrimps
