Ray and I went to the vet today with Bandit the ferret. He has been slowing down for a bit now, just not as energetic or playful. He had blood work done and his blood sugar level is low. Mostly caused by insulinoma , a tumor/cancer on the pancreas. We will be starting him on Prednisone, and hopefully that will help him to feel better.
Yesterday we had a drop off of 9 hamsters! Wow! 5 young ones, still almost babies. Two older females , and two older males. They are all Russian dwarf hamsters, and their owner couldn't seem to stop the breeding and wound up with too many. We are full with hamsters right now, we are unable to take in anymore until we have some adoptions. I am sure that if I count how many we have in the household right now ( all adoptable) we'd have anywhere from 30 to 40 hamsters, Whoa!
Today we had a new arrival, a guinea pig named Piggy. He is a young boy. He had become phobic and frightened in his home, and his owner was looking to find him a new home where he could settle down and come out of his shell. So far he has been curious here and was eating from his pile of hay and food bowl. We'll let him settle before placing him up for adoption and before I take pictures. But I promise, pictures of Piggy and the new hammies are coming soon.
In the meantime, here is a picture of Ace and Gizmo , the two guinea pigs that arrived last week. They have a vet visit on Tuesday, and if all goes well they will be adoptable right after.
They are all hair, but so very adorable.
