Saw this display a while back and forgot to post it here! It's really beautiful what you can create out of a few Botanical sets
I sorta wish they sold them like this but that'd probably cost like $500 LOL
Found on Amazon Canada randomly on a whim LOL
Listing has been taken down but I managed to get this before it went blank
One is the og the other was upscaled with my phone's editor
A little while ago I stopped by a GIGANTIC antique mall and it had quite a few Furbys! I didn't get any of em tho cuz their prices were ridiculous 😭 They wanted $100 for the Leopard btw LOL
The original McDonald's Furbys were $7 each so I didn't even bother with those 😭😭
Those guys are probably gonna be there for yrs tbh, ah well, was cool to see em at least!
Hello everyone! I do wanna start by saying I apologize if I used the wrong flair LOL
Anywho, for the past year or two, I have been really thinking of adopting a dog since I've never had one growing up and my family never had one generally
I have tried doing some research on what breed would be best but it's sorta hard to pinpoint what's true and what isn't online so I thought I'd ask here!
I know lifestyle is a huge key factor and my lifestyle is well, kinda laid back but can get busy very randomly
I do currently live in an apartment with my mother but I don't plan to live here forever haha
Now we do own other pets, 2 cats, birds, fish and geckos so I'm no stranger to animal care and am capable of taking care of them!
My biggest thing is I'd want a breed that can get along with and not pose danger to my cat! I wouldn't ever let my dog interact with my birds for basic safety reasons, and same goes the other small animals!
From what I read, some breeds are more cat friendly than others and I do know it'll also boil down to the individual dogs themselves but generally this is probably my biggest worry because I don't want my cat getting hurt!
Australian Shepards, Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Australian Cattle Dogs are some of the breeds I considered but I don't think they'd be a good fit as cute as they are
I want a dog that can be energetic but also chill and cuddly, which again can also vary per individual but I'm unsure if certain breeds are more likely to be a certain personality??
If any of you have any suggestions or advice or anything, please do let me know! I probably did word some of this funky and I do apologize for that, I'm just really wanna make sure I know everything I'm getting into before potentially adopting a puppy of any kind!
Thank you everyone
Cheers : ]
Made the photo myself just for the visual similarities but did anyone else notice that the Furby Boom Crystal Series are low-key just pride flags? LOL
Idk if Hasbro knew what they were doing but I love it
Love this little fella, I have yet to get him an alarm clock buddy, I wish they weren't so stupidly expensive 😭
Recently got this set for only about $10 on sale off Amazon! Later discovered Wal-Mart now sells em for $9 lol
I got the vase today from a thrift store for only $3!
I know this set isn't technically a botanical set and never was re-released under the botanical line but I still like to lightly group it with the botanical sets!
Picked up the new Cosmos Flowers set from Wal-Mart today and for the price, this set is really cute! I adore the little beetle they added for this set! The colors are also very nice
I didn't have a small vase on hand so it'll sit in the empty Tequila bottle for now LOL
Today, I had to take two of my Budgies to the vet, one for a progress exam and the other for her first checkup since she needed it
To give a little backstory here:
Yellow was a Budgie that I got for my grandfather's 80th birthday, she was a Lutino Budgie as far as I'm aware and she was given to me by a guy who had to rehome her. When she came to me I did notice her vent was a little green but it went away relatively quick after settling in
Unfortunately, in late January, my grandfather had passed away, and while we were away in Europe for the funeral, Yellow worsened. Her feathers were falling out from her vent to her chest, she had a very liquid stool and overall wasn't doing well. I had to rinse her with warm water almost daily to keep her clean.
I eventually got recommended milk thistle by a friend of mine to try and well, it did sorta help but not a lot? I saw some feather growth but not more than her chest. She was also obsessed with cuttlebone and this made me and my friends [who are great with avian care] think she might be eggbound or hormonal?
I was finally able to get her examined properly and the vet told me that she had a large solid mass in her abdomen area, which could be an egg or a tumor or something similar. We went over the medication that she could have received with their care but she did say that there was little chance she'd get better or make it given the circumstances. So after half an hour I had concluded that euthanasia was the humane thing to do.
This killed me, loosing another piece of my grandfather killed me so so SO much. To make matters worse, when I told my mother, she went off on me saying how I killed the bird and how I'm an idiot for doing that and how I should have just let her live and basically suffer? I tried to explain that it's not that simple but she wouldn't listen to me whatsoever and kept going off on me and calling me a bird killer.
I haven't felt this low since my grandfather's passing. Mind you I had to also euthanize my elderly Betta earlier this year and life has been so rough these past few months. Have I done the right thing, or did I make a huge mistake? I really don't know what to think or feel anymore.
Regardless, I will miss her with all of my heart, she wasn't in our flock for long but she left a forever lasting impact and we will all miss her greatly.
The size difference between these two is honestly quite astounding!
Got a sealed Sunflower Bouquet for half of it's retail locally and we had this random vase sitting around and it really tied the whole thing together!
I got this cool shot of my Mexican Dwarf Crayfish that I got a month or two ago, still haven't given em a name yet but I adore this little fella, he eats out bloodworms right out of the tongs I use! Very silly fella
Hello everyone! I wanted to showcase my semi-new planted 20 gallon tank! This was my 2nd ever attempt at a natural freshwater tank alone and I think I did pretty good!
This tank houses the following: Victoria [Female Crowntail Betta Fish], 8 Ember Tetras, 6 Bronze Corydoras, 1 Mystery Snail, 3 Nerite Snails, some Blue shrimp & microfauna if u wanna count those!
I can't remember the name of all the plants I used besides Java Fern & Amazon Swords but there's at least 5 or 6 different types of plants
Overall I'm happy with the results but I'd like to hear some opinions! : ]
Here's some cute photos I recently got of my budgies! I got these while they were out playing around : ]
Photo 1 is Teal, Photo 2 is Kiwi & Petunia, Photo 3 just Kiwi, Photo 4 is Sky [Kiwi's sister], Photo 5 is Petunia & Photo 6 is another photo of Sky just on the little Java perch!
It's so funny how they all have their little dynamics with each other and it makes me giggle every time they all hang out as a group alongside my 2 conures! Share some photos of ur birds in the comments!!!
Hello everyone, this is my first ever post on this subreddit and I wanna show off my male Crested Gecko's new bioactive tank! :D
​
To give a little back story, I got this fella from an elderly gentleman who simply didn't have the means to take care of his geckos anymore and he had to rehome em asap! I haven't had any form of reptile since my Leopard Gecko I had as a kid, but I have done research and watch people like SerpaDesign and had pretty solid information on how to care for these little guys
​
Something I will note is I had NO idea in what condition the geckos or their enclosures were in, mind you I got two, a male & female, they were in seperate tanks but pretty much in the same condition [I also wasn't told they were missing their tails]
​
When I did pick them up I noticed that, for starters these tanks were awful, 20 gallon long tanks by critter cage or something like that, smelled of cigarettes [a basic wipedown revealed just, a disgusting layer of smoke residue all over the tanks] and weren't appropriate for these Geckos whatsoever
​
I cleaned those tanks best I could and I got the smell out but I was on the hunt for better tanks asap! I luckily landed an actual terrarium and got to work building the male, Teddy, his new bioactive enclosure! It's not the best by all means and I do plan to add more bark and some more twigs and whatnot but it's FARR better compared to what he came to me in!
​
As for the female, she came to me unnamed but I named her Ivy and I'm almost there in terms of her new tank as well! I made sure to buy enough supplies in bulk for both of them and spent quite a lot to get to where they are now!
​
While their journey was rough, I'm glad I'm able to give them a new home! Again please note this is my first ever attempt at making a Gecko tank, so any advice or tips are appreciated! I'm always looking to make more improvements as I go : ]
​
Photo of Teddy at the last slide!
Hello everyone! I'm trying to find 2 tanks with an 18x18x24 or 18x18x36 footprint, preferably within the Toronto, ON area
If you have one for sale or know someone who might, please send me a DM! : ]
Pebble & Stone would like to wish everyone a Happy Pride Month! Be gay, do crime & eat seeds 🗣‼️
I was finally able to get my 2 conures DNA tested and as it turns out, I was right, they're both boys!!!
Nice to know finally after all these years! Plus I don't have to expect random eggs now LOL
Hello everyone, I need help with a fledgling pigeon I recently rescued
It's a standard rock dove/pigeon and he's about 25-28 days old according to a friend of mine
My main concern is in terms of eating, I gave him a small bowl of pigeon mix seeds with some warm water to soften the seeds but, I'm worried he's not eating much if at all, but drinks almost the entire small water dish??
I'm not sure what to do or how to make sure he's alright! He is pretty scared of touch still but is slowly warming up but I don't wanna force feed to not stress him out too much
He's alright looking otherwise, clean, no mites and overall good but I'm just worried about him generally
If anyone has any advice on what I should do please let me know, or send me a dm! : ]
Cheers
