TW in the tags for animal neglect, abuse, and death
#tw: animal abuse#tw: animal neglect#tw: pet death#my mom has always neglected animals#ive known this even as a child when she kept our little /purebred/ bichon frise (i think) in a crate for literally most of her life#and when she was breeding chinchillas and would keep 3-4 in a small cage at a time and offer them minimal enrichment#and go weeks without dust baths and months without deep cleans#and kept them on the third floor in the hottest room of the house with only a window unit a/c during summer#so when that died and she hadnt checked on them for almost two whole days#about half of them died too bc it was well over 95° and they can get heatstroke at like 85°#has not gotten better now that she lives on a farm and has way more animals#for one thing the chinchillas (or rather whats left of their offspring) are now in the barn#so just completely outdoors so when it gets over 95° in the summer idk what she does about that#and it's too humid for them here so theyre all greasy looking and she doesnt give them dust baths hardly at all anymore#i havent seen her clean a single enclosure since i moved here four and a half months ago#its possible shes done it while i was at work#but doesnt look likely#certainly not a deep clean and also she really should be doing daily maintenance anyway#shes got a whole colony of outdoor cats who she vaccinates but doesnt always fix so theres always more of them#(and i think it was on here that i mentioned the time tom was drunk and (huge tw) dropped a whole fridge on a kitten)#she rarely ever cleans out the duck pond and there are too many of them for the size of their enclosure#(think less pond and more large kiddie pool)#the doves outside are fine but the ones in the house are in a cage way way way too small for even just a parakeet#same with the cockatiels. there are three adults and just today a baby died bc one of the females wanted the nest and broke the baby's beak#so it couldnt eat on its own and the mom stopped feeding it#their cage is also nasty and underenriching - same with the parakeet#there were a bunch of guinea pigs in a tiny dirty cage when i first moved in and i honestly have no idea what happened to them#they were literally just gone one day and my mom avoided the subject so ????#like they were all alive one day and then the next day the cage was empty so idk if they were all sold or killed or released or whT#maybe the cats finally got to them bc their enclosure was not very sturdy
