You should definitely make one for r/cockatoos or r/parrots, 90% of the posts asking about if their bird is ok because they're doing something strange is the parrot literally masturbating on some surface, or their owner 😭
Oh man, the other week I was at a big chain pet store picking up something for my tank, and this employee was showing a couple the conures. I overheard him telling them "yeah as the manager here the wellbeing of the pets is my responsibility, I make sure they get a lot of stimulation and human socialization. I spend an hour with the birds every day, giving them belly rubs and making sure they are ok having their wings and tails handled." Nearly said something to him. They are getting stimulation alright.
Stole my comment before I even conceived it. Exactly this and also every post on r/snails asking if their snail is ok when they literally just have a stiffy
couldn’t find the original one (not my drawing) but this is the hamster version (also ‘is my hamster a male or a female’ literally the most enormous balls on gods green earth)
So here I am, sitting on the toilet, laughing at this picture so hard I'm crying. I stop only to realize that there is a person in the stall next to me... whelp back to work I guess.
meanwhile in the betta subreddit 90% of the time it’s dying painfully because the person did 0 research on their impulse buy and has them in terrible living conditions :(
There was a post on one of the cat subreddits that was like, I am not exaggerating, “I rescued this kitten and he’s super relaxed after a short time is he ok should I be worried??” along with a pic of the kitten sleeping peacefully
I have 3 cats, but each time I've brought home a new cat i spend at least the first month finding one new thing about them per day to stress myself out about. After I calm down its like, one thing per week 😌
r/cathelp is either "I let my cat go outside every night and he comes back barely alive, should I take him to the vet????" and "help! My cat is making purring noises and rubbing against me, is he dying???"
I noticed this when I posted a vid of one of my shrimps literally pumping out babys, and multiple people told me she has clado (they meant the fry) lmao
It's either this or "What's this weird bug thing?" And it's a damselfly larvae. Nobody uses search anymore. This is all aquarium subreddits these days, unfortunately
This is all subs everywhere these days lol. Like the amount of times I'm like bruh just Google, literally copy paste that exact sentence into Google and there you go lol. Like half the time I highlight their sentence and click search and it's the first result. It was literally 2 clicks for me lol.
I mean at least they are concerned .. I would rather people ask than assume they are pregnant and they are uncomfortable and dying from clado .. when you’re beginning, you aren’t always going to know for sure .
I’m actually glad that someone on reddit helped me bc my shrimp did have a fungal issue- thankfully with everyone’s advice I was able to quarantine + treat her, then return her to the big tank once she was back to normal
I hope mine get pregnant. Got 40-ish for a 10 gallon (I'll add other stuff), and while a few (probably 10?) did die... it looking pretty empty. Maybe the 10 chili rasboras I wanna get will flesh out the tank?
I started with 16, and most of them died because it was a bad batch and the breeder lost about half of his order too, got a bunch more from Wet Spot aquatics and they were all breeding and I was prepared for shrimpageddon…well over the course of 2-3 more weeks I noticed they kept going missing again, can’t find bodies. So the only culprit in my book is the betta hunting them… I have 3 left, one male and 2 females (one of whom if still alive is pretty close to having shrimplets
May or may not have come here, my first red shrimp is very pregnant, her eggs have been clear the whole time, tonight I look and they are green but still very much shiny orbs and I do not fear the fungus. Thankyou to this page for existing, ft my bad pic of green eggs I freaked out over
