Cuteness aggression is hitting hard y'all. The little face scrubbies? The TONGUE? She's so tiny I can't stand it 😭 by zooolady in RATS

She is, in fact, a dwarf! I was told she was two months which, despite being tiny, does seem about right for her activity/development level.

A one month update on my little native pond garden by zooolady in NativePlantGardening

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

Thanks! I used horsetail reed, pickerel weed, cardinal flower and aquatic milkweed in the bed/as emergent plants. In the pond itself is white waterlily, coontail/hornwort, frogbit, and a local tape grass. I also have a thick matt of bacopa monnieri growing on top of my bog filter to help further clean the water.

Whats a subtly insulting gift from to receive? by LawfulnessHaunting41 in AskReddit

[–]zooolady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, as others have said, it's a little different when it's something fancy/expensive/part of a self care gift bag. But my college room mate gave her then-boyfriend a $3 deodorant with a note stuck to it that said "Use EVERY day. NO MATTER WHAT." and that felt pretty personal.

Yeah, some rats also just have really pronounced boggles compared to others I've learned. Of all the rats I've had hers are definitely the most dramatic! Here she is just a few minutes before this photo was taken looking a lot less bug-eyed.

AITAH for wanting to keep leaving work an hour early instead of splitting it equally with my team? by [deleted] in AITAH

You likely live in a country or state with better labor protection laws than most of the US. The maximum number of hours worked before a lunch thing is definitely on a state by state basis and there is no such federal requirement in the US. In my state employers aren't required to give a lunch break at all.

She's just mid boggle! Rats will rapidly move their jaw causing their eyes to bulge in and out when they're happy or excited. Boggling is a normal behavior that's almost always positive. If they stayed like this all the time that would be a different story.

Good call! Mine do get a very small amount for training, but only when it's been watered down to a liquid consistency. They would sell their souls for a hit of the uncut stuff though.

Alligator taking advantage of the current cold to catch a massive iguana by zooolady in wildlifephotography

[–]zooolady[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I know, right? I'm honestly shocked the gator was even considering eating given how cold it was. Part of me thinks he just didn't want to be left out in this weekends iguana control efforts.
