    I messed up with Mohinder's medicine

    He's been acting just fine! I called his vet and she said that there was nothing to worry about! And that was his last dose that he needed, so he's done with his medication and has a fine appetite and his stool seems a lot more regular than before. I haven't tried with a syringe, whenever I'm...

    I messed up with Mohinder's medicine

    He was prescribed .27 ml of the flagyl every 14 days, and yes, that's the medication I gave too soon. I've been keeping water on his salads so he gets hydration from there, but when I give him baths he doesn't dig drinking the water. The vet didn't give me any probiotics to give him, and he's...

    I messed up with Mohinder's medicine

    Ugh. I just realized that I messed up today with Mohinder's medicine. I had it in my head that he gets it every Thursday because he was on two medications, one that was once every seven days, one that was once every 14. So I finished the once every seven last Thursday and gave him the once every...

    Dealing with pinworms

    Hey y'all! Just found out today that Mohinder has pinworms :( I knew something was wrong, so it isn't a shocker, still a bummer to know for sure though. I'm excited to get him all healthy though, I'm sure he isn't feeling too great currently. My question is is how should I give him the...

    Green, runny poop?

    I took him to the vet today. They didn't get a chance to do a fecal, but will whenever I can get a fresh stool sample to them hopefully on Monday. They did a physical exam and everything was a-okay there and they put him on two different antibiotics until his stool can get checked out. The vet...

    This is Mohinder

    This is actually the first time she's given him the time of day. I've had him out around her before, but she just acted completely indifferent. Today she was curious about him and did some sniffing before deciding that he was weird and running away. My beagle/border collie mix is completely...

    This is Mohinder

    Though I'm not exactly new to this website, I just realized that I haven't put any pictures of Mohinder up on here for y'all! Decided to do a makeshift photoshoot today to fix that problem. This is Mohinder! My chihuahua decided to join in...

    Starting a dubia colony in a shed

    Okay... I've gotten to the point where my mom will let me start a dubia colony, as long as I keep it in the shed and not in the house. The shed isn't insulated or anything, but I live in Texas so it'll stay hot during the summer, and I can make it hot in the winter. Does anyone have any tips on...

    Green, runny poop?

    I'm having a poop problem with Mohinder. He's had runny, smelly stool before, but never like this. This was really runny and green and smelled really terrible. I stored it and I scheduled an appointment with the vet on Thursday, but does anyone know what I might be dealing with here? I haven't...

    Wrong basking temps

    He's close to 2 years old, I'm assuming. I got him almost a year and a half ago and I got him as a juvenile, not a baby so he's probably close to two. I know it doesn't need to be crazy high like it's required for babies, but I also don't think it should be that low but he's gaping while he...

    Wrong basking temps

    So recently one of the bulbs for the basking side of Mohinder's cage went out. I replaced it, waited a bit, used my temp gun and the temperature was only around 90F. I know that it needs to be higher than that, but I haven't gotten the chance to get a new one yet (but I will today) but I've...

    Diversifying non-insect diet - tips?

    What I do is I pick something as a staple for however long (did butternut squash for awhile because we grew like a ton of it, now I'm on collard greens) and just make sure I have that and then whatever we have around the house that's safe. Mohinder loves bell pepper and zucchini and yellow...

    Dubia's infesting in Texas?

    I'm trying really hard to make a good case for a dubia roach colony, but my mom isn't budging. She thinks that they'll infest the house, and I thought that that wasn't possible, but I read somewhere on here that they can in Florida. Would that be possible in Texas? Has anyone had that problem here?

    Ordering crickets in a bag?

    That's how I've always done it too, and it hasn't been bad, but I thought I'd try with the cloth bag since it could be easier, as long as other people haven't had bad experiences with it

    Ordering crickets in a bag?

    I just ordered crickets for the first time in awhile (did superworms in bulk for awhile with crickets bought from the pet store,but I discovered that my hatred for them exceeds my hatred for crickets) and the website I order from (georgiacrickets.com) has the option to ship them in a cloth bag...
