Time to redo my BDFB enclosure today :’) I am reintroducing Clotho to the boys now that she is rested up and ready to take on the world…I think. If they start squabbling again I’ll put her back into the recovery tank. Hopefully more hides will do the trick!
Ok I'm making one of these finally for people on mobile :)

About Me
In short...
I currently have one mouse named Russ, who was required to live alone by the rescue I adopted him from because he was very violent with his littermates who he lived with previously. I also have three blue death-feigning beetles, named the Three Fates (Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos) and three isopod colonies.
I previously ran a blog called claricespieces, later renamed to mesocricetus-auratus, that followed my ownership of multiple hamsters. I would love to get a hamster again in the future, but my care standards have increased and I don't presently have space to make the cage I'd want.
I also helped orchestrate the legal takedown of Wallrova, if anyone remembers that...what an awful company and thank goodness it no longer exists!
Little Clotho got moved to her recovery room just now, a critter keeper with ½ inch of sand, a small hide, a small piece of cork bark, some snacks, and a bottle cap with water and beetle jelly in it. Rest well little lady 🩷
my roman empire is that my 2 male beetles keep bullying my 1 female beetle and now she's got a broken leg and is losing weight so I had to buy a second smaller tank to keep her in so she can recover before putting her back with these two men who don't know how to act
So I'm not the one to ask for help so I've been very hesitant on sharing, but got some news last week that I will be homeless by June (and no, this is not an awful april fools joke, I am panicking here).
Some of you in the vulture culture community know last week and a bit ago I had an accident resulting in losing consciousness, breaking my neck, and experiencing a seizure for the first time. I've been having ongoing brain issues (we removed a lot of cerebral fluid in December that was causing increased pressure and testing the fluid to rule out infection, diagnosed with IIH), and last month I've been having heart issues.
Referrals have been made to a cardiology specialist, as well as the first fit clinic. But it's looking like I will probably have to go private to get listened to / get the care I need ASAP. Couple with the fact I will be homeless by June, it's a really terrifying situation. I have contacted local councils, independent living schemes, shelter, private landlords etc and feel like I've been let down. I'm awaiting a doctors appointment with a NHS advisor on the 10th, where I'll be showing them my list of resources I've used, and to see if they are able to help find anything.
I reluctantly made a justgiving page, on the advice of my friends, and while I hate asking for help, I am honestly quite scared and uncertain about my future.
If anyone can share the link, reblog this post, or even donate some change. It would mean a lot.
Thank you for your time, I'm sorry for posting this here but I don't know what else to do. I will be continuing to work on the skull index, as its such big passion project of mine along with the help of my team. Its a great distraction.
