Members from the Manx Wildlife Trust's Invertebrate group are coming in to the gallery armed with big microscopes and little beasties

Get up close and personal with some of the fascinating invertebrates that can be found in your garden, under the bin or generally scuttling around in the Isle of Man's dark crevices.

Chat all things creepy crawly, learn about more of the Manx Invertebrate group events and how to get involved.

We are not a “business” which intensifies my stress as everyone of our volunteers not only has full time jobs, and families as well as trying to help animals we have been working with for years, families who constantly worry there doing things wrong, and want reassurance even years after getting things right from day one…. Finding homes for new rescues, scouring uk to source rescues or reputable breeders to bring over for people due to the poor provision for travel of reptiles… then there is the cruelty issues that aris (not going into the vile things some people think are ok)….

The rest of this is copied n pasted “Posted by a small business owner and shared in support. I can relate

The unfortunate truth of owning and running a business.

Running a business is really hard.

What they don’t tell you is that it can cause severe stress and anxiety, and drains you mentally to the point of depression in even the most laid back people.

People will talk about you, compare you to others, use you, they will view you as a service and not a person anymore.

Friends and family will expect discounts and people will value you and your hard work less than a big chain store.

You have to worry about if you forget to email/message someone back, are they going to think it was on purpose? Did you disappoint them? Will they hold that against you? When in reality you just can’t get to everyone’s messages and emails.

Starting up and running a successful business puts incredible strain on personal lives and relationships, many of which fail because there is just often no work life balance. You need to be the director, the worker, the admin, the marketing team, the accountant, the cleaner..... All whilst being a parent, a husband or a wife, family support, friend... it’s one of the hardest things you will try and balance

There’s a reason you don’t see many people succeed in small businesses after 5 years. If they are successful they are overwhelmed. It takes a toll. It’s freaking exhausting. Especially the past couple of years when so much has been out of our control.

Here’s a small reminder that we are just normal people with hectic lives. Be kind, be patient, support small businesses…….and hopefully more of us will stick around!

I copied this from another small business owner that I support and they support us.

Very enlightening read for a New Year’s Day….

https://exoticpetvetblog.wordpress.com/2015/12/30/respiratory-conditions-in-reptiles/

Respiratory diseases in captive reptiles are all too common unfortunately and are a great source of frustration for owners and vets alike, as well as being a serious welfare concern for the animals…
