ah fair enough. Thanks for working so hard to keep this going!

"Indie Products"- a place for people to nerd out about stuff made by small independent makers and for indie makers to find support maybe? I'm not a maker myself but I really enjoy buying from small businesses and finding out about cool products.

ah ok thanks for the update. I thought maybe you were getting severely increased traffic today or something!

My husband created this for sailing enthusiasts and it’d be awesome to see it get more active. You don’t have to be an experienced sailor. Just enthusiasm for the hobby/sport!

Dinghy sailing posts are awesome and certainly more than welcome here!!

I guess there has been a crazy influx of new users today!

I agree. It does look beautiful though when it is maintained!

This looks pretty compreshensive. Have you used Navionics before? If so, how do you think it compares?

I’m half asleep and didn’t upload the photo in the right place the first time. I had been giving her chin scratches until she fell asleep like that. She loved her some scritches!

Thank you. We certainly tried to. She passed away a few years ago. Now we just try to remember how wonderful she was and not be sad about not having her around anymore. Same with her cagemates. I’ll probably post some pictures of them at some point too. We no longer have rats but they are amazing pets and I certainly miss having them around. I’m sorry to hear about your pet too! It can take a while when they are such good buddies. I’m glad you understand that you gave him a wonderful life and can take solace from that!

Thank you. She was indeed!

Cute Snake! I love Snakes but I could never have one because I also love Rats!

Can I ask…what is your profession? You seem to have an extensive knowledge on exotic animals, which is awesome! These emerald tree skinks are adorable! I am also incredible jealous that you live near wild capybaras. I have only seen them in a zoo once but had a children’s book that featured a capybara when I was a kid and have loved them ever since!

Same here!

Thank you! She was indeed! She was certainly our most cuddly rat too!

Omg i would LOVE a Gambian pouch rat! They are so cool. I was sad when Magawa passed away last year. I think we will stick with the dog for now since we are planning on spending the next couple of years on a sailboat but maybe one day I’ll be able to convince my husband to go for some fun pets like that. Honestly my dream would be to have a few capybaras but they come with their own challenges and I’m not sure I would ever be able to provide the perfect living conditions for them! Maybe I’ll get to have some pigs one day 😁

I messaged you. I think it might be worth looking into other locations if you can manage it. I really hope you can achieve your dream job! Herpetologists are cool people.

Thanks. Yeah the small lifespans is what ultimately got us to stop having rats. They are so smart and have great personalities it’s hard to say goodbye so soon!

huh the more you know! Please excuse my ignorance and thank you for the education!
