25804 - from Simone , 12 y.o. (USA) - 2012-04-27 Animals : "Skinky is a picky eater...HELP!" Hi, i need some help. First of all, my blue-tonged skink, named Skinky, is not eating very well. When he does eat, he will only eat grapes cat food, bananas and eggs. I don't think that's a very good diet for him. I mean when i got him, the lady before him only fed him bananas and she NEVER trimmed his toenails or put calcium on his food. So now he is missing almost all of his toes due to her!! What should i do?

26527 - Reply from Simone (USA) - 2012-07-04 You'll have to when you're finished with your say. If it's about not being a TAG and being a really mean person, leave me alone you nasty girl. I've had enough of your chin-wagging.

26489 - Reply from Brunnhilde , 11 y.o. (USA) - 2012-06-30 Because I REALLY am only 11 and I don't want to chop my finger off. Once, I was cutting for the first time, and one chop was a millimeter away from my fingernail.

26464 - Reply from Simone (USA) - 2012-06-26 Sure.....Wait, why can't you use a knife??? I used the stove and the knives when I was 6.

26463 - Reply from Brunnhilde , 11 y.o. (USA) - 2012-06-26 My Mama and Daddy bring put food in old ground coffee bean tins for me to bring to the rabbits. I'm 11, so I can't cut parts of food off of the part Mom/Dad will eat with a sharp knife. None of us knew cucumbers were bad for rabbits until it was too late.

25804 -

26457 - Reply from Simone (USA) - 2012-06-24 Wait, so your mother gave YOU a cucumber to feed to your rabbit but you still did not see that it was a cucumber? And WHY does your mother get you food for your rabbit? Why don't you? Nobody helps me with all of my pets. I do it myself.

25804 -

26435 - Reply from Simone (USA) - 2012-06-24 So it was too late when you put it in the cage? I told a relative of mine and she said you obviously were trying to kill the poor mammal... *raises eyebrow*.

26419 - Reply from Simone (USA) - 2012-06-23 WHY DID YOU KILL YOUR OWN RABBIT? IF YOU KNEW IT WOULD KILL IT, WHY DID YOU FEED IT TO HIM YOU NASTY GIRL!! GOSH!

25804 -

26418 - Reply from Brunnhilde , 11 y.o. (USA) - 2012-06-23 Fluffy ate a bad cucumber. Cucumbers can KILL rabbits. Anyway since you don't like the ❤ thing I'll take it off my name for now...

26406 - Reply from Brunnhilde❤ , 11 y.o. (:() - 2012-06-21 Oh, OK. One of my rabbits died about a 2 years ago. His name was Fluffy. So sad...

25804 -

26402 - Reply from Simone (USA) - 2012-06-21 Ah, I see. Yes, Martin is my other companion, Lucy is another, Jordan is another and Herman is another. Ray WAS my companion, along with Frisko, along with Fred (Sesuj) and Will. I am not obsessed with forums as I was before. I have better things to do now.

25804 -

26401 - Reply from Brunnhilde❤ , 11 y.o. (:P) - 2012-06-21 I mean, you only use email now, and for a long time it seemed like you quit using forums and SOTW. Now, you're back! Is Martin your other pet?

25804 -

26369 - Reply from Simone (Usa) - 2012-06-18 What do you mean, "Your back!"? Skinky has a sweet cage now, it suits him a lot better now. :) he has a glass cage on its side with window screening for a lid. Martin also has a 55 gallon cage now!!!! So happy!!!!!

26364 - Reply from Brunnhilde❤ , 11 y.o. (Simone!You're Back!) - 2012-06-17 Hey, Simone! You are back! Also, horray for Skinky!(CLAP)

25804 -

26335 - Reply from Simone (USA) - 2012-06-13 Yes, actually the good news is he is eating WAY better now. I found out he loves grapes, boiled carrots, shredded cucumber, eggs, banana, and he WILL EAT LETTUCE! I am so psyched to have my blue-tongued skink back!

25804 -

26334 - Reply from Johanna , 10 y.o. (USA) - 2012-06-13 Have you tried mashing a food he likes with another food he doesn't like? How about calling a reptile, um, oligist? (I have no idea what they're called.) How about trying lots and lots of new foods? Maybe he wants a girlfriend or something? Honestly, I have no idea.

25804 -

26003 - Reply from Brunnhilde , 11 y.o. (USA) - 2012-05-13 No, don't quit yet. Maybe someone else might help. Watch this: HEY! MY FRIEND SIMONE NEEDS HELP!!! READ HER MESSAGE AND HELP HER!!! OK. That's all I can do.

25804 -

25956 - Reply from Simone , 12 y.o. (USA) - 2012-05-09 Sigh...let's just end this forum. It's getting nowhere.

25804 -

25955 - Reply from Brunnhilde , 11 y.o. (USA) - 2012-05-09 Any way, um...the skink problem. Maybe you can try to find a professional scientist that studies reptiles and amphibians and see if he/she can help?

25804 -

25947 - Reply from Simone , 12 y.o. (USA) - 2012-05-07 OK? I suppose we have abandoned my skink problem then? No need to continue this forum i suppose. Bye. I'll message you after this.

25943 - Reply from Brunnhilde , 11 y.o. (USA) - 2012-05-07 ALL people are born enlightened, but soon they aren't enlightened anymore. Fine. You can have it your way.

25804 -

25935 - Reply from Simone , 12 y.o. (USA) - 2012-05-07 You make no sense at all. I am not even going to ask what you mean.

25804 -

25925 - Reply from Brunnhilde , 11 y.o. (USA) - 2012-05-06 Zen is the art of enlightenment. Do you know what that little chatterbox that talks in your head is? Well, its not you. Enlightenment turns off that chatterbox. It also lets you see things as they are. Let's say you see a big, white house. If you are enlightened, and you see that house, you don't add any details to it(like not saying its big, white, or even a house at all). You let it BE it.

25804 -

25924 - Reply from Simone , 12 y.o. (USA) - 2012-05-06 Um. Ok? What the heck does zen mean? You know, you don't have to pretend you like mammals more. I know that you do, it's ok.

25804 -

25922 - Reply from Brunnhilde , 11 y.o. (USA) - 2012-05-06 No, I love them the same. Here's a story: Every Thing is Best Once, a man was walking down the street when he saw a woman at a butcher shop say to the butcher, "Give me the best meat you've got." "I can't,"said the butcher."all of my meat is best. None of it is better than the other." Then the man walking down the street was enlightened. Do you get my story? Its pure Zen.

25804 -

25913 - Reply from Simone , 12 y.o. (USA) - 2012-05-05 Nah....you like them more...you can't fool me! ADMIT IT!

25804 -

25904 - Reply from Brunnhilde , 11 y.o. (USA) - 2012-05-05 I love them the same amount. I'll tell you more about this the next time you SOTW mail me.

25804 -

25894 - Reply from Simone , 12 y.o. (USA) - 2012-05-05 Arguing sometimes helps....in ways. But do you love frogs and toads MORE then rabbits? Admit it....you like mammals better.

25804 -

25893 - Reply from Brunnhilde , 11 y.o. (USA) - 2012-05-05 OK, you're right. But I love toads, frogs and lizards, too! Sometimes they get trapped in my pool(my pool is chlorinated, and chlorine KILLS them), and I rescue them(lizards are easy to catch because they climb on the side of my pool, but it takes a long time to catch frogs or toads swim all over the place). Boy, do we argue a lot!

25804 -

25892 - Reply from Simone , 12 y.o. (USA) - 2012-05-05 Number 1: Most lizards live in temperatures suited for them it was we MAMMALS that exported them and imported species that could kill them. Number two: We MAMMALS can survive a lot. But it was also us that polluted the earth, killing billions and plants, animals, insects etc. for OUR comfort! Number three: Humans in this case, are short-sighted and most only put their sights on what they want. Why i do not really like mammals all that much: People adore them. I mean seriously! They are so popular, so NORMAL! That's why i hate it! They treat snakes so badly, along with all herps! They don't even have a REASON to dislike them! They just hate them! That's why i like herps way more then mammals! Because i am as weird as them and i am also misunderstood like them! In all my life i have NEVER EVER met another person who loves reptiles more or is on the same level as them as me. Don't get me wrong, i love nature and animals. As i said before, i have never met anyone who loves nature and animals more then me....but sometimes....it seems like i am the only one who truly CARES!

25887 - Reply from Brunnhilde Richards , 11 y.o. (USA) - 2012-05-04 Reptiles are lame because they can easily freeze to death because they're cold-blooded! We mammals are warm-blooded, so we can withstand the cold more easily! Tell me what's lame about being a mammal.

25804 -

25880 - Reply from Simone , 12 y.o. (USA) - 2012-05-04 Yes, i did reply on your rabbit forum. I like reptiles a LOT more then mammals. Mammals are LAME! And yes, i know we ourselves are mammals.

25804 -

25871 - Reply from Brunnhilde , 11 y.o. (USA) - 2012-05-03 Yeah, I know what testicles are. Sorry, I know more about mammals than reptiles, so I didn't know about the testicles being INSIDE of them. Also, please reply to my message about rabbits.

25804 -

25869 - Reply from Simone , 12 y.o. (USA) - 2012-05-03 No, you don't understand. This thing is "basically" its testicles, but it has no skin or anything on it. So its just the thing raw. It is SOOO hard to tell a lizard male from female because most lizards' private parts are INSIDE them.

25804 -

25867 - Reply from Brunnhilde , 11 y.o. (USA) - 2012-05-03 Oh, its his...um...BALLS?! Gross! It is like, SOOO hard to find a rabbit sperm sack, because of there LOOOOOOOOONG fur. And, when they're babies, they haven't even got a sperm sack yet(If its a male. Otherwise the female NEVER gets one.). And, male rabbits have TWO sperm sacks.

25804 -

25866 - Reply from Simone , 12 y.o. (USA) - 2012-05-03 Ok, ok. It is a sperm sack. It's the males sperm thingy majigger! That's how you tell whether it is a male or female.

25804 -

25864 - Reply from Brunnhilde , 11 y.o. (USA) - 2012-05-03 Maybe its an egg or something. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IT IS!

25804 -

25863 - Reply from Simone , 12 y.o. (USA) - 2012-05-03 Sigh...just as i thought. No it is not poop.

25804 -

25861 - Reply from Brunnhilde , 11 y.o. (USA) - 2012-05-03 A skink is a lizard. I think that the purple thing is poop. Am I right?

25804 -

25858 - Reply from Simone , 12 y.o. (USA) - 2012-05-02 Please...do not take offense but...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! Will my mom let me get another pet? No! Earthquake....sheesh, you really need to study skinks more! Do you even know what they are? If a purple veiny thing pops out of their "butt" what is it? DO you know? If you have any idea what skinks are...what is it? PLease, do NOT take offense.

25804 -

25856 - Reply from Brunnhilde Richards , 11 y.o. (USA) - 2012-05-02 Okey dokey Artichokey! It looks like you've tried everything. But, there still is hope. Maybe your lizard is trying to tell you something. Animals act strange and aggressive when bad things like earthquakes are coming. Or maybe your skink is saying he's lonely and wants another skink as a pal. What do you think?

25804 -

25854 - Reply from Simone , 12 y.o. (USA) - 2012-05-01 Ha, actually no. She did know a LOT about skinks, but she just couldn't find a reason why he wouldn't eat. I will try all those things again, just to make sure he still EATS.

25804 -

25853 - Reply from Brunnhilde , 11 y.o. (USA) - 2012-05-01 Let me guess...the vet doesn't know much about lizards. Maybe you can look up a way to get your skink to eat things he needs on Google or Wikipedia.

25804 -

25848 - Reply from Simone , 12 y.o. (USA) - 2012-05-01 Yup, done that too.

25804 -

25842 - Reply from Brunnhilde , 11 y.o. (USA) - 2012-05-01 Maybe you should talk to a vet and see if he/she knows anything? Or did you do that too?

25804 -

25841 - Reply from Simone , 12 y.o. (USA) - 2012-05-01 I have tried that as well but his teeth, though they are tiny nubs, hurt when you open his mouth. He bites when you do that and when i did manage to get a hunk of lettuce down his throat without losing a finger, he would gag and spit it back up. Or choke.

25804 -

25835 - Reply from Brunnhilde , 11 y.o. (USA) - 2012-04-30 Wow, that's one smart lizard. Let me think...hmmm...maybe you can forcefeed him the food he needs. Its like when I had a dog(before he got hit by a car and died when he was just a puppy...WAAAH!) sometimes my Daddy had to feed him something, and he didn't like it. My Daddy would shove the food down to a certain point that forces the dog to swallow it. Maybe you could do that?

25804 -

25821 - Reply from Simone , 12 y.o. (USA) - 2012-04-29 Yes, i have tried that multiple times. He has figure it out already. A skink is a type of lizard. In this case, he has a blue tongue, looks like a bit of a snake with arms, looks a bit like an alligator and slithers on his belly.

25804 -

25819 - Reply from Brunnhilde , 11 y.o. (USA) - 2012-04-29 What a minute whats a SKINK??? Is that you, Simone? Well, whatever Skinky is, I think you should mix up the food he eats with food he doesn't eat. Or did you try that already?
