  1. Re: A forum branch specifically for "emergency care"

    I never said I was upset. That wasn't something I forgot to include. That was because I wasn't.

    We were discussing things. And yes, I ended it by pointing out that you and I could go around...
  2. Re: A forum branch specifically for "emergency care"

    I'm aware they'd have to set it up that way, that's what I described above.

    Not sure how that will be splitting folk off in a general sense, obviously it needs to in a specific way, as it's a...

    Re: Tiny white bugs in soil

    I am under the impression that springtails prefer moist environments? This enclosure is rather dry now.

    Also that if you spray springtails they will spring. I tried that test and they didn't, the...

    Re: caring for a toad....Help!

    Ugh. I see this was posted 2weeks ago. Is your toad still alive? If so how is he doing and did you get any help? This might be something for a vet to take a look at

    Tiny white bugs in soil

    So, this morning I noticed tiny white bugs swarming a dead cricket in Lydia's old house, which has become her dining room, essentially. They're the shape of a grain of rice but incredibly smaller.

    Re: Strange substance/ growth on Pac-Man frog?

    Very agreed on the vet, that is going to require them to properly identify and treat. It looks like a freaking larva in the photos, but it could be any number of things.

    Re: Plant ID please

    It wasn't labelled at the garden shop? I don't recognise it personally, but I imagine your best bet is to go back to them. They'd need to know what it is when they purchased it for resale. There's a...

    Stress could definitely have been a factor, but could you provide more information about their set up and behaviour?

    Do they only get fruit flies?...
