is it normal to find groups of bonlings??? without a petronile? ive seen like five of them near my house where are they coming from

Great question! No, it is not normal 🤍 Please contact your local control center. You could also attempt to find where they’re coming from either by seeing if they left a trail of snacks, following them from a safe distance, or leaving out some sort of bait near their frequent hangout spots. I fear I cannot tell you where they are coming from, because I do not live near your house (presumably). Maybe check your pantry.

I know that Director is a breed of cat but can I pleeeeease get a smaller Director? Pretty please? Mini-director? Please...?

we finally caught that... whatever this is, that was chasing our dawn. it seems dangerous, its chewing on the bars of its cage. i sure hope it doesn't escape and then kill my siffrins ):

So I was watching the Siffrin Sanctuary's livestream, and I saw something very strange. I swear one of the Sifs has a tail! Is this a documented phenomenon, Loop ancestry, what? I haven't been able to find anything besides that individual's profile. [included screenshot: One of the play yards at the Siffrin Sanctuary. A caretaker with all but their foot out of frame is dragging a Sadness-shaped squeak toy on a rope, with a large (for the species) constellation of Siffrins in urgent pursuit. Though blurred by speed, one of the Siffrins at the front of the pack clearly has a plumed tail emerging from under their cloak. A tree extends into the top of the camera's view, and a very enthusiastic tailed Loop is dropping out of it like a tiny glowing leopard.]

Siffrin tails are documented aspect of their anatomy! It’s not uncommon for a Siffrin to have one, though it may take a few molts for a tail to appear. Siffrin tails have less variety compared to their Loopling counterparts, but hold similar anatomy. While tails are most common in Loops, they can occur in pretty much every other species of Isatling.

Siffrin tails are long and whip-like, with small cartilaginous bones, making them very flexible. Fluffy white hair covers the end of the tail, but can cover the entire appendage in certain subspecies.

The “fluffy” ends of the tail work to brush debris away from the feet when passively walking. Their tails are also very posable, capable of wrapping around objects, and are often used to “hitch a ride” or to carry food.

Requesting Odile advice !!

Growing up I loved spending time with my grandma's Odiles. They were so sweet and were great companions for the rest of my grandma's life. Now that I'm older and might have the money for the care supplies, I would like to look into getting an Odile. I'm coming here because I wanted an honest unbiased opinion on if i could care for an Odile. I work 6 days a week and am usually resting at home otherwise. I really enjoyed just sharing a space with my grandma's Odile too. I don't have a lot of space for a big enclosure either, and I don't have a yard. Would a screened outdoor patio/balcony be ok? I live on the ground floor. I was also considering letting her have free roaming in my main room/living room when I'm home to supervise. Would that be overly dangerous for an isatling? I want my Odile (when I'm able to meet and care for her) to feel welcome and loved, I'm just not quite sure how to go about it. Especially regarding enrichment- I'm not sure if isatling playdates would be productive/enough or if I should wait when I can commit to an Odile and a friend.

Overall, Odiles are a very self sufficient species. They’re able to entertain themselves for a good while, provided they have a well-furnished enclosure and environment with many things to observe or relax in.

Despite that, your main concern is likely to be keeping her entertained & balancing her social needs. Odiles do enjoy their privacy, but cannot be left completely alone for absurdly long periods of time. Unfortunately, many people seem to think Odiles are a completely hands-off kind of isatling that doesn’t require interaction with caretakers or other Isatlings, but that’s not the case at all!

Do try to get any size enclosure your space can accommodate for. Odile enclosures are typically wide instead of tall: fitting one into a windowsill would work, so long as the cage has a proper cover & won’t heat up in the sun.

I’d say that, when you are home, letting her free roam or be near you when you’re doing just about anything is a good idea, as long as you’ve ensured it’s safe for her. This applies for any free roam isatling. Don’t let her roam if you have animals that are not trained to be around Isatlings. Provide gentle ramps onto furniture for her to climb up (I suggest brands like SturdyBuildsetz, or if you want more “aesthetic” ones then try MobileLivingMolly. But you can also make them at home!)

pictured: a photo of my friend’s Mirabelle with the aforementioned climbable ramp

A screened patio should be fine for being outside, so long as it’s craft proofed and she isn’t left unsupervised overnight.

I don’t think it’d be an awful idea for you to get an Odile, but with concerns to her socialization, I’d suggest getting her a buddy. A Siffrin would be your best bet, especially if plan for them to free roam your house, but there’s plenty of other options to choose from. I wouldn’t suggest a Bonnie simple due to the fact Bonlings do need a Petronille that they’re in regular or direct contact with.

This morning, I woke up to see that my siffling wasn't wearing their hat! At first, i thought they might have left it somewhere in their enclosure, but after looking in literally every possible hiding place, I couldn't find it!! And im freaking out a little!! My only theory is that maybe they destroyed it, which i find alarming, with how attached to it they were? And yet they seem fine right now? They ate as usual and seem just as affectionate with their tank mates. But I'm so scared it might negatively affect them later, or that it might be the sign of an underlying issue... what should I do? Should I find a replacement for it just in case?

This all really chalks up to how your Siffrin acts over the next few days! If they appear stressed, are frequently hiding, are shying away from tankmates, etc, then there may be a concern. It’s possibly they might be sick, or are hiding some sort of injury. If they display any more unusual behaviors, do get them checked out.

However, it’s possible this is a part of your Siffrin’s growth stage. It’s not uncommon for a Siffrin to loose it’s hat at some point in the adult stage. Losing their hat can be a concern for wild Siffrins, as the hat works to protect the scalp and cover their eyes. Siffrins lean towards being more nocturnal, and the hat aids in protecting their sensitive eyes from sunlight during daytime hours. However, a Siffrin can live just fine without their hat, especially in a well-shaded enclosure. For caretakers with your same concern, I would suggest looking in their enclosure and the space around it to see if you can find the hat, or potentially looking into a replacement hat if your Siffrin begins missing it or starts to have difficulty in bright lights.

Additionally, if you have a Loop, it is possible that they may have taken it, or been given the hat as a gift.

i have an odile. and also a cat, who basically rules the house. here's the thing tho: my odile keeps trying to climb the cat tower. she's absolutely awful at it, to the point that we had to put several pillows around the cat tower, but she Keeps Trying To Climb Up There. i don't know why she does this. she also climbs onto the cat and uses him as transport like she's riding a horse

This fascinates me considering Odiles are well known to have a fear of heights? It could be that your Odile is aiming to find a quiet place for herself. Your cat tower could be a soft & isolated enough place for her to relax. I’d suggest either building her an easier way to get up the tower, or making her a separate tower or similar structure.

My Pétronille is breaking my heart. I love her, but I think she gets lonely when I'm at work. I'm thinking about getting a Bonnie to keep her company. Do you have any advice on how to introduce them? I'm thinking about taking a few days off, to be there full time when they first get introduced.

I’m shocked you don’t have a Bonnie yet at all!! I super recommend getting her a Bonnie: they’re immensely important for a Petronilles’ health and happiness. Petronille often struggle to connect with other Isatlings and have a tendency to self isolate, but having a Bonnie dilutes these tendencies and is likely to help your Petronille’s loneliness and mood. The same idea goes for Bonlings.

Introducing them isn’t very difficult, as they take to each other very quickly, but you should still be mindful & observe them. Bonnies can be very scared and skittish at first, so make sure they aren’t too stressed & ensure they have a place to hide when first being introduced. Keep an eye on them while they first interact. Bonnie are very small and touchy, which doesn’t always work great for Petronilles who are easily startled and have harder boundaries for touch. She may suplex them- which can be fun for Bonlings, but potentially bad for their little skulls!

hiii so I’m having an issue :( I think I have an infestation???? But I’m not suuuure??….

So, uh. It’s been raining a loooot the past few days, and my house ain’t like, the best, so there’s a bit of standing water here and there andeverywherre. And uh. I swear there’s something hanging around the puddles at night?? And sometimes I hear these weird.like. Maybe laughing? Or something. It’s been keeping me up, it’s so constant!! It’s like crickets or something, but they laugh!! So it’s gotta be a lil guy, I think? Or many little guys. Cuz it’s loud. And they keep leaving crumbs in my house and I’m gonna get REAL rodents or something if this keeps up HELP

Based on the laughter and whispers, plus nocturnal activity, this sounds like a Mal Du Pays army… I’ll pray for you. Mal Du Pays can be solitary, but it’s very common for them to form large groups. These groups are usually a lot bigger than they appear, with how easily this species blends into darkness.

Try to keep the water as minimal as you can, and leave out bait foods (dark chocolate, lemons, typically sour or bitter foods). It is very possible that they are actually legitimately in your walls, so check your home for any places they could be getting in or out. This includes outdoors, particularly around water drains & areas prone to pooling. Set out traps for them (large clean containers of salt water with food should do the trick) as well.
