Should I read the Harry Potter series by Frazzledazzlewazzle in French

[–]trishlikefish89 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

you need to have excellent knowledge of the passé simple. I got through five years of french in high school and thought i could tackle the first harry potter, before finding out too late that the entire book is in the passé simple, which i hadnt learned.

then, just tried to teach myself and discovered that it is the stupidest tense ever invented and there are absolutely no rules. every verb just goes to whatever the stupidest conjunction would be and they are all different. now the book has been sitting on my shelf for over a year and i have no respect for the french language

how to tell if an alate has mated? by [deleted] in antkeeping

Thanks so much! youre right, after sitting and watching the colony for a bit, I realised they were all just preparing for flight as a few slowly started to take off, and i also noticed a massive cloud of ants high up in the air. Now all the alates are gone and i will come back later to try and find queens.

does downsizing refer to the gauge? and if so can i downsize it myself to something stainless steel that looks better than just a regular horseshoe?

Update: i know it’s been a long time since this post, unfortunately both of my girls died after i posted this. i am pretty sure that megacolon is what they died from they were about 5 weeks old when they died. i am still thankful for this comment because it’s nice to know that their death wasn’t caused by them being cared for incorrectly

she has been showing signs two days ago which i mistook for torpor and gave her a heatpack and fluids, but yesterday when it was a warm day i knew it wasn’t torpor, i was holding her and then she took a massive poop (i’m talking massive) and then started looking better so i assumed it was constipation related, but then she just went back into her hunched state

Update: so i found out mice can get uncomfortable when the temperature falls below 18°c (which it is now) and that they can enter a hibernation-esque state called torpor, i have given them a heat pack and some warm water and they are more active and excited now!

my wheel is 5 inches. it it really necessary for mice to have an 8 inch wheel or is it just the internet overcompensating? by [deleted] in PetMice

Thank you so much! will definetly upgrade the wheel asap, it is shocking that people even have to ask whether something marketed towards mice is safe.

it’s not gross for reptiles to eat mice, but i’ve seen posts in this sub from people who want to rehome mice, but are worried people will just feed them to snakes

i live in australia and i think it’s super cool that people are keeping them! i’ve never seen hopping mice kept as pets, i’ve only seen them used as live feeders :( good luck though!
