hi all, i havent bewn a member for long but my one girl had stuck shed in her eye and kept needed to be sedated and having her eyes flushed by the vet, i felt horrible for her and it kept happening even after i changed my husbandry. so i had to put her down. we are taking her to a taxidermist...
does anybody else struggle to use their phone when the other lights are out bc flies swarm to the phone light ??? and then get in ur nose or is that just me ???
