They are highly food motivated, which can be exploited, even unintentionally. Our two have us well trained to provide nibbles, so crinkling of plastic can draw them out of hiding. But yeah, still prey animals with a strong run-and-hide drive.

Absolutely! I also love access to small, cheap electronic bits for my projects, and at the same time I’m all for protecting our postal services. A 2€ per package surcharge doesn’t practically change anything on the economy side. Temu already expects a minimum purchase of something like 20€.
My small concern with this is how it will be applied/processed by the carriers. I hope it doesn’t end up like the customs/VAT on larger packages, where they charge 10-20€ for customs clearance. But now that I write it down, for me, even that isn’t a complete blocking factor. I’d probably spend more time comparing the value of ordering direct vs from a local reseller, which is exactly the goal.
I’ve had a similar experience. They accepted my email on a personal domain with a recent TLD but after about 15 minutes of connecting and browsing, I was banned. I suppose it’s because I had the audacity to use a VPN l, but their response was basically no more helpful— “you violated the T&Cs.”
I haven’t been on Vinted since.
That sounds reasonable. My little lady is almost 4 years and 850 g. Her cagemate is a younger and much less active gentleman who has developed an excess of chonk at 1110 g.
She was heavier and had some thyroid issues that caused weight loss but she’s stabilized now. My advice is to do weekly weigh-ins. If she’s stable, it should be ok.
If you notice she seems to be always ravenous and/or moody, that’s how we first picked up on the thyroid issue, coupled with a noticeable weight loss (as in feeling different when picking her up, not even needing a scale).
We’ve used Bambo, made in Denmark for my child. They’re distributed in a number of countries, including Germany and France. Online pharmacy/parapharmacy stores like Atida often carry them at a good price.
Exactly… the price of these new materials/CPUs isn’t in the amount of “exotic” elements, which is barely measurable on a per-unit basis, but in the production.
