My dog used to shit in his bed too bullit! Mainly at night tho then he'd wake up with it squished into his fur on one side. He was a grott

Mimosa are pretty neat hey, especially the ones that are sensative to touch.

my tenuiflora/hostilis do it slightly , it's fascinating... also scabrella does it a little faster too...no where near as fast as pudica though

not seen it happen yet on ophthalmo

fun fact: i was told by a knowledgable Laotian villager that a decoction of the roots of Mimosa pudica is used to cure bladder/urinary tract infection..
