Christmas Eve, adoptions and December 31st











Happy Christmas Eve everyone :):) and Merry Christmas for tomorrow since I probably won't get a chance to post.
Yesterday we had many adoptions, many of our rescues were given the greatest gift of all , a new loving home that they will be cherished and loved in for the rest of their days. 3 of our dwarf hamsters went home, two babies from the recent litters that resulted in the nine hamster drop off with 2 pregnant females were adopted. I had named them Cheerio and AppleJack, I'll add a picture of them with Mom hamster, they were 6 weeks old at the time of adoption , old enough to be away from Momma. I already had them separated by males and females too. Then our special hamster, Blake, was adopted by the same family. Blake had developed cataracts in both his eyes , leaving him with poor vision and more than likely, blind. Despite his condition , he remained a nice hamster he only needed a warning that you were there and about to pick him up.
Next to be adopted was Jingle Bell and Figgy Pudding. Two more of Poinsettia's babies. Speaking of her babies, her newest litter now have their eyes open and they are moving about ! :) Figgy and jingle went to a home with a Mom and daughter who have done a lot of research on how to care for rats, since they are new rattie owners and they were well prepared for their new fur babies, I will add pictures of him too.
Then Snowy the rabbit went home. Snowy also went home to someone who is new to rabbits but she did tons of research and made sure she had everything she needed, even a rabbit proofed room. Snowy wasn't happy at all with being in a carrier when it came time to taking him home, he was trying his best to dig and bite his way out. I tried reassuring him that the carrier was temporary but I don't think he believed me one bit. I am sure he has calmed down by now, he only had a little ways to go before he was home. He is an adjustable bunny , I know with a little time he will fit right in. I'll add a photo of him too, this photo was taken by dawn G, didn't she take a nice picture of him?
On December 31st we have a lot of spays and neuters happening. 2 sugar gliders are getting neutered, Mario and Archie. Ava the bunny is getting spayed. And Pizzazz the long haired bunny that came from the horrible breeder is getting spayed. Plus the Holland lop, Almond and white and brown bunny, Cashew, are getting neutered. It will be a busy day for me and the vet, and sad to say, a stressful day for those that are getting fixed.
Take care , and have a safe and happy holidays !
