keeping objects as pets #4: fruits!

hi there! in this series, i’ll be going over basic descriptions of commonly-kept object species (and some rare ones too!), facts about them, why you might want one as a pet, their basic needs and necessities provided you want to house one, and things you should NEVER do. for the fourth post in this series, we'll be going over fruits, berries, melons, gourds and similar species!

description

as with the plants they mimic, these creatures are wildly diverse and come in all sorts of shapes, sizes and colors. their limbs are furless and leathery, with tough skin. each hand has five fingers with opposable thumbs and each foot has four toes. they don't have claws. they're adapted to be primarily arboreal, living high in trees in the wild; they rarely leave forests and don't feel comfortable without leaf cover. their teeth are flat for grinding plant matter, and aren't known to bite (fortunately for the anons i keep getting).

facts about fruits

just like with their objects, the terminology for these can be... confusing, to say the least. tomatoes are fruits, by the way! they live off of plants in the wild, always near sources of water, such as ponds, lakes or streams. they tend to stick with other members of the same object species, but finding a bushel of varying fruits together isn't unheard of. they're a very physically active species, typically - they love to run and play whenever they're not sleeping, which they do a lot. these guys LOVE to sleep - when they're not climbing or playing, they're almost always curled up for a nap.

why as a pet?

fruits are absolutely amazing to watch! their high levels of activity make it a delight to see them in action. they're intelligent and happy-go-lucky most of the time*, which makes them great for people who are just as active as they are. they're great for organic weed control, too, since they can just eat them. unfortunately, they can contract most diseases that plants can, which can cause sickness and death if not treated properly. always get your objects vaccinated!

basic needs + do’s and dont’s

fortunately for people who don't like insects, these are strictly herbivorous animals and they need a steady diet of vegetables and lots, i mean LOTS of water. they HAVE to have an available water source at all times or they will dehydrate! they also need a lot of sunlight, which is why i only recommend them as an outdoor pet.

housing

these objects need a lot of outdoor space. they will not be content to be indoor pets. since they're natural climbers, you'll need a large fenced-in area with an enclosed top to prevent them from leaving. for indoors, fruits can and will climb anything that they can, so you should be careful to move any fragile objects that they could potentially knock over. their preferred places to sleep are in enclosed pet beds, so make sure to have one handy!

*depression

this species group is unfortunately prone to depression when their needs aren't met. we aren't fully sure what causes this, but it's important to note for anyone who is considering one of these as a pet.

that’s all! hopefully this helps educate anyone who is considering this species!

I’m putting off work, so here is me doodling some world building- in this world there are ‘artificial’ humans (‘arties’) who are basically any kind of human grown in a lab for commercial or military reasons: people with their genes spliced with other animals (cat people, shark hybrids, etc), clones, designer babies (a subset of clones), and super soldiers. All the rest, people who come from natural births, surrogacies, c-sections, etc… are colloquially called ‘organics’. The border between the two is very, very thin (and probably non-existent) but that’s how this society roughly categorises two main groups. However, because humans, artie or organic, like to, let’s say, form relationships, there’s a bunch of offspring between these two groups that aren’t considered from either side (even though, by all rights, they should be considered organics), and are called ‘ferals’.

So here’s my excuse to draw feral punk catboys and one middle-aged alcoholic catman

Une alimentation vivante de l'Océan

Produits de la mer, naturels, certifiés.

Les algues marines, de véritables super aliments, sont de plus en plus plébiscitées par les consommateurs soucieux de leur santé et de l'environnement. En effet, elles regorgent de nutriments essentiels - vitamines, minéraux, oligo-éléments, antioxydants- tels que les protéines, le potassium, les fibres, les vitamines (dont la vitamine C ou B12 ....), le calcium, le magnésium, l'iode et bien d'autres

Mais les bienfaits des algues ne s'arrêtent pas là. Leur culture ne requiert pas d'eau supplémentaire (donc ne puisent pas dans nos réserves d’eau douce), de pesticides ni d'engrais, ce qui en fait une option durable pour l'environnement. De plus, les algues absorbent le CO2 plus efficacement que toute autre plante terrestre, ce qui en fait un allié de poids dans la lutte contre le réchauffement climatique.

Consommer des algues, c'est donc non seulement bénéfique sur le plan nutritionnel, mais aussi un geste concret pour l'environnement.

Et n'oublions pas le plaisir gustatif ! le gout umami, si délicat, Les algues marines sont également délicieuses, ce qui en fait un incontournable dans une alimentation saine et équilibrée. En résumé, les algues marines sont des super aliments à inclure sans hésitation dans son régime alimentaire pour une santé optimale et un impact positif sur la planète.

Nous travaillons avec des producteurs basés sur la côte Atlantique, qui sont engagés à utiliser les ressources de manière responsable : c’est un élément majeur dans le choix de nos producteurs. https://www.lequotidienaunaturelshop.com
