I was thinking of something exactly like that... I’m going to take a look a lowes first chance I get.
I also thought it could do double duty. One to give my bunny some tread across a slick surface( not break his back). Two to be like a nail file for the little diva boy. I still had to take him for a nail trim but not as often. And I did find them at Lowe's.

It was in my daughter’s room and then ran to our extra room. I put my cat in and we peeked in but wouldn’t catch it!!
I ran to the store and bought traps. Now my daughter thinks it’s under the fridge!! We are freaking out. We’re afraid to go in the bedroom between don’t want him to run loose . I’m at a loss[emoji17]
Your cat will eventually catch it.

[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]. I think it’s just not much different. Son fell asleep while watching tv (6pm) and I have soaked, weighed, and logged all the tortoises and poured a glass of wine.. my little ones got moved into their upgrade enclosure tonight. Much bigger indoor area for them now.
Well done.

It’s just ridiculous!! It’s a form of the herpes virus just like the fever blisters that you get on your lip... but in your eye, it can cause permanent damage...he’s the only person I’ve ever known that gets them in his eye... and it’s the same damn eye every time. We have a pediatric ophthalmologist that monitors him closely and it used to be so scary.. one time, he got strep and did not respond to antibiotics. He got the fever blisters In his eye and on the eyelid. We had to go to the hospital every day for injections for 5 days. he will always be susceptible but I hope they continue to happen more infrequently.. the past two years has really been a blessing.. ANYWAY.... I’m just thankful that he is not uncomfortable now

Sorry for rambling! Lol
Ramble away. Get it all off your chest. That is why we are here. Poor guy. Big Electronic hug.

News flash... I went outside to button Toretto up for the night. I put him at the base of his “driveway” and he tried to turn around and leave so I picked him up and put him on the drive way at the base of the ramp.... AND HE CLIMBED! he pushed through the plastic and went in the box... I feel like my daughter just took her first steps [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
Whoop, whoop.

Yes. I really enjoy my phone with TFO but sometimes my eyes are having really bad effects from the light. I just have to stop because I can't read it. I think a computer would do the same though.
Have you tried turning on "blue light filter"?
If your phone has the option, that is. It filters out much of the blue that comes from electronics screens.
I've been diagnosed with macular degeneration, and must wear blue-filtering sunglasses when I'm outside. That blue is very damaging.

I don't have a blue light filter. But it also happens if I try to crochet and other hobbys. My eye doctor said it's a combination of dry eyes and allergy. Plus old age dang it.

Happy Weds Noel. Adam would love those pics!!;)
How is your sight now?
I must apologise Heather @EllieMay - It was you who posted the camels not Noel!:rolleyes:
I'm going to blame the screen jumping around for the confusion - but it could just be me being confused!!:confused:
Hope you are having a good Wednesday anyway!!

Yeah, I certainly get the "old age" part.

Sorry about the dry eyes and allergies...very irritating, I'm sure.

It might be the questions I ask or the pet shops I use. Maybe both. I like camp kenan too. But you're right. It took me a few years to find TFO. I've only recently even learned how to go online to find information I need. I always tried to use books before. I still like books but now I have all kinds of information also. It's helping.

I also used to like kampkenan but I have found some of the info he gave being wrong and he says he is always willing to learn but he ignores critizism. For exemple he says buying a pair so they can have a friend is better than just one because « hey I wouldn’t want to spend my life alone !». Clearly this is false info to sell more torts which he does.
