Did I understand correctly, to use the new adult chat you have to pay a yearly fee? As I understand it, the fee is only for a larger inbox. Adult chat/ junior chat comes free depending on how old you are. Now, I'm really confused. Not that that takes a lot. :lol: I just assumed the fee was for the ...

So where is the new forum and when do we get a link to it or an address so that we can start the joining process before this forum closes? I don't think it's open yet. Tabirat said that it'll probably be open within a few days :) Did I understand correctly, to use the new adult chat you have to pay...

At Cybercandy you can buy lollipops which have mealworms (and scorpions and various other things!) in the centre...

Om nom nom

Apparently mealworms taste like pork scratchings.

I haven't tried them myself... someone told me on a chicken forum!

Locust beans are RANK Even smelling them makes me want to gag

Is it possible to mod posts based on their content? Eg, if something was posted in the emergency section (if we have it) and it contained swear words, it wouldn't be posted until unless a moderator came along and approved it.

There's a thread here about tall cages with small footprints if that would help

Whoo! Can't wait!

I haven't got a picture of mine, but I stole the idea from this thread see cherryrat333's post on page 4 . Mine looks like that. :) No DIY skills required. That's a really nice cage...

A lot of people don't like Critter cages. They rust easily, and are a nightmare to clean! How about something like the cages on here ?? eta: Link What about them makes them hard to clean? Because you can't take the shelves out? Would more frequent cleaning + making sure that I dry the cage thorough...

I read about this . Unbelievable. What are they being bred for, do you know? Meat, or fur? I didn't think that either was very popular...

You can sign a petition against it here . Click the link on the right.

There's also a page about objecting the proposal.

I almost had a heart attack there! I typed in the dimentions of the Critter 3 into the rat calculator, and it said that I can fit 85 rats in there! Little did I know that it was set to inches instead of cms!
