My 2 cats: Loom (the gray one) and Herringbone (the tabby, he's one of Loom's 5 kittens) that I adopted from https://kitten.academy in 2021. I first learned about the Kitten Academy from a tweet by Raspberry Pi in 2016, and Adafruit taught me about Raspberry Pi some years before that. So it's thanks to following Adafruit that I have these 2 beautiful companions.

Our lady had to undergo an emergency surgery yesterday, because she swallowed something that clocked up her intestines. So they had to cut into it and remove the blockade. Quite heavy surgery, but everything went well. Now she has to wear a „jumper“ for a while, so she doesn‘t lick up her completely shaven belly. I think it looks quite fashionable…

The black rabbit is Ninja, white rabbit is Cozy. My kids named them and are luckily cleaning up after them. Supposedly the manure from their droppings is one of the best as they can be used as cold manure so don't need to compost it to use it. They have so many droppings I'm glad there's a use at least.

No declawing either! My eight cats are what remains of a long lived cat colony that i inherited when my mom died. After my father neglected them, i took them in.

#

Good! Declawing is absolutely inhumane and should be banned

#

(For the people reading this who may not know: The equivalent of declawing in humans would be amputating the fingertip, up to the first joint. It is physically painful, leaves cats without their main mean of defense, leading to further psychological damage and increases the likelihood of them developing arthritis & litterbox-related issues later in life)

This evening, my beloved Moose (short for Bella Moose) crossed the rainbow bridge. I wanted to share one of my favorite pictures of her in honor of her life. She lived a good life and was so loved.

(update 12.13.25 Jerry’s health "||" has worsened, he’s a level 6 heart murmur along with a tumor on his spine. He’s lost the ability to use his legs and is in severe pain. His heart murmur alone keeps him from having surgery for the tumor. He’s scheduled to be put to sleep on Monday12.15.25 I’m saddened I wasn’t able to sort any type of motor assist for him before his health drastically diminished. I miss him already. He is such an amazing little friend 😭"||")

My dog has difficulty walking and is now using a mobility aid. He wants to be independent, he just doesn’t have much energy. I’m hoping to sort a power assist function for him. (He’s called Jerry and is a miniature poodle 🐩)

The former picture is where the cat is using the single Crocs as intended (at least in the context of a human wearing it). Whereas the latter picture is where the cat has chosen to use the single Crocs as a pillow.

@glad hound Of course! Pets don't have to be fuzzy to be posted here.

glad hound
#

Well, they are sort of fuzzy. 1) Lack of focus, and 2) algae on the wall of the tank. We keep algae eaters so we try not to starve them with over-cleaning.

@glad hound I used to have ottos and loaches! Now I have a single clown pleco who has lived through everything. So as long as he's alive, he has a home.

@next notch We are down the road a way into Multiple Tank Syndrome. A 1 gallon cube that is currently not supporting fish but we're pumping water around it anyway, a 5 gallon planted that has a betta, two snails (for now) but seems to mostly be a hair algae farm, and a 20 gallon planted with a soda-bottle CO2 system, a 24 hour cycle lightbar, and probably too much bioload.

#

4 otos seem to still survive out of the 9 we put in there.

#

There were 10 amano shrimp, they are currently either in hiding or have escaped.

#

We stocked a total of 6 guppies, 1 male and 5 females.

#

We have given away 30 guppies, and it looks like in a month or so another 20 will be old enough to transport.

#

We stocked an assassin snail, because the plants came with free snails and scuds.

#

Don't know how to get rid of the scuds.

#

If we get another tank, I think I want a wide shallow one, get otos and corys and maybe rasbora

#

Guppies, though.

#

And I thought rabbits bred quickly.

hollow quiver
#

Otocinclus are really very effective at consuming algae - something of a delicate fish, yes, but when well fed they can be quite robust!

#

...and they don’t eat plants

#

...and an occasional slice of zucchini or cucumber will be turned into a thin green ring of the outer skin, once they find it

@next notch Trivia time. I grew up on a tributary of the Amazon River in the Peruvian jungle. We used to swim in the lake and catch plecos by hand as they sucked on the barrels on which the docks floated. We'd throw them in a bucket to take home to our tanks. We'd also catch angel fish using plastic screens. Note: don't put a bunch of angel fish in the same tank just because you can catch them and they're free.

#

Oh, the trivia was that in the Peruvian Amazon plecos are called "carachamas."

hollow quiver
#

Color me envious, @valid torrent, would love to be able to go catch tropical fish in the Amazon for the tanks at home. A whole lot cheaper, and I understand there are a great many species as yet to make it outside South America. Since there is little or no knowledge of them, there’s no call for them.

valid torrent
#

@hollow quiver Plecos and angel fish were pretty easy to catch and also something we called a "redtail,' which was like a large-ish tetra but just silver with a redish tail. Aside from that I caught a cichlid once (and they're mean to the other fish!), but that's about it as far as stuff suitable for an aquarium. Course our lake was fairly fished out and we just had a plastic net. Our fish didn't usually last long, but they were easily replenished, for better or worse!

next notch
#

@valid torrent That sounds amazing..

valid torrent
#

I'm sure there were some amazing fish in there we never saw!

hollow quiver
#

Perhaps the red-tail was a “blood fin” tetra? They can get pretty big in the wild

valid torrent
#

Yeah, maybe. I mostly remember the tail being red, though.

next notch
#

I've kept and bred angels, discus for a bit. The rest were various tankmates. Always had a live plant setup. The lighting rigs on those used to chew through energy like crazy... single highest consumption in the house. I have LED bulbs on the 18 gallon I have now. It's pretty self sufficient with live plants, 75 gallons of filtration and one fish.

hollow quiver
#

LEDs have saved us all, so much cheaper now to light a planted tank. The bulb replacement budget was pretty bad, too

next notch
#

Oh yes

valid torrent
#

I only had a 10 gallon tank and I'd throw a half dozen or so angels in there. I'd usually find a few on the floor within a day or two...

I have like a dozen tanks now, ranging from 110 down to 5. I have it bad. Tank Acquisition Syndrome.

#

Lots of good fish stores out here, that’s the trouble

There's a church across the street from us that puts on a Halloween festival every year and last year they did this ring-toss thing where the prize was a goldfish in a bag...

I think you can see where this is going.

Yes.

hollow quiver

That’s how it starts! Most expensive hobby starts with the “free tank”

valid torrent
#

Fortunately my wife didn't know to buy the better tank with the heater. So we're "stuck" with goldfish.

hollow quiver
#

It’s a TRAP!

I bet the local pet store paid the church to take the fish...

Gotta get food, more fish, gonna need a bigger tank....

Still, it’s a rewarding/relaxing hobby, apart from cleaning the tanks, and dealing with the occasional sick fish

#

My dad kept fish when I was young; after I’d moved out and got hitched the neighbor gave us a 10 gallon tank. Most expensive free tank ever. Now I have dad’s old tank, too. And..a..few...others.

Anything Adafruit connected to them?

Not yet - did want to wire all the temperature sensors to a common point, and then forward all that data to the network

#

I have a couple of LoRa boards I'm hoping to use soon

hollow quiver
#

Really though the next thing I need to build is some LED strips to replace the remaining fluorescent tubes

#

I think the LED strips at the stores are still way too expensive, yanno? I’d think a homebuilt one would be much brighter per dollar spent

#

You have something planned for the LoRa?

The only reason I do well with aquatic plants is that I can’t mess up the watering schedule. Terrestrial plants are a mystery to me, never can figure the right amount and timing

@cobalt mica

cobalt mica

He's got a very narrow temperature range, too low and he'll hibernate and pygmy hedgehogs can't come out of that , too hot and he'll get heatstroke. Food is still not 100% understood, but high protein low fat is best from what people have seen, and they're nocturnal so they need 12-14 hours of light year round or they try to hibernate

@cobalt mica have you thought of doing some electronics project involving temperature sensing and such for your hedgehog? ;3

@fiery spire Absolutely. That's actually what I am trying to get those LED lights working for. I am going to automate his lighting (with softer lights simulating the lunar cycle because why not) and temperature sensing and controlling the heat lamp, as well as a sensor on his wheel to track his activity levels and probably some cameras with different triggers.

fiery spire
#

☺ aw! that's pretty sweet @cobalt mica ! First thing i thought of when you said he'd get a heatstoke based on temperature alone @_@
and re: salmonella is there a way you could mitigate that?

cobalt mica

I'm not sure. From what I understand it's either they carry it or they don't. When we start taking him to a vet we are going to bring that question up. For now it's just washing hand before and after handling him.
