The Flight Attendant<p>I think we have mice in our attic. So I was just up there investigating (wearing a respirator after reading about Gene Hackman's wife's hantavirus death.) I already hated being in our attic, because I HATE fiberglass insulation exposure SO SO SO SO SO MUCH. Adding a face mask to the mix is so completely suffocating; I almost think I'd rather die of hantavirus. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/homeOwnership" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homeOwnership</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>diy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rodents" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rodents</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HELL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HELL</span></a></p>

Cefiar<p>Suggestion for anyone with microchipped pets, regardless of whom it is registered with:<br>- Check the microchip details of your pet(s) with <a href="https://www.petaddress.com.au" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">petaddress.com.au</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> to see who they are registered with.<br>- Make sure all information is up to date (ie: contact details/address), no matter which registry they are with.<br>- Make sure pets that are required to be registered with your local council/shire/city/state have been. This is separate to microchip registration.<br>- Keep a copy of all your pets information, including the microchip details. Confirm your vet has these details too.</p><p>If you want to transfer away from HomeSafeID to another provider, you usually need to deregister them first, which is hard to do if HomeSafeID are unresponsive. By having all the details yourself on hand, at the very least you can then reregister them if HomeSafeID goes away.</p><p><a href="https://theblower.au/tags/Cats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cats</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/Dogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dogs</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/Horses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Horses</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/Birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Birds</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/Reptiles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reptiles</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/Snakes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Snakes</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/Lizards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lizards</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/Frogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Frogs</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/Turtles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Turtles</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/Rodents" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rodents</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/Ferrets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ferrets</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/Rats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rats</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/Mice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mice</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/Microchip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Microchip</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a> <a href="https://theblower.au/tags/Pets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pets</span></a> <br>🧵 2/3</p>
Cefiar<p>Are you living in Australia? Do you own a pet?</p><p>There are claims and rumours that HomeSafeID, one of the many national microchip pet registries in Australia, may have gone into receivership (unconfirmed), and as such it seems their future may be uncertain. During Christmas to early January, emails bounced and their phones were unanswered. There is a notice on their website from January 5th saying that there are some issues, but no detailed explanation of what happened or is happening. Even now, it seems no one has yet received a human response to any enquiries.</p><p>HomeSafeID is primarily used by the RSPCA all over Australia. If you got your pet through the RSPCA, it's likely registered though HomeSafeID.</p><p>This event highlights some of the holes in microchipping registries in Australia.
