No Success Yet at Bonding, Scout, New Gliders and Bunnies







Yesterday I placed River and Willis in our bathroom to start the bonding process. They got along with each other very well in the bathroom. I even took some pictures of them together. But once they were out of the bathroom, they immediately started to chase each other and became very pushy with one another. I haven't given up on them, it has only been a day of the bonding process and it does take time. Their reaction to each other in the bathroom gives me hope.
Yesterday, 6 sugar gliders arrived. Bella is the only female, and she is a cute little girl and friendly. The rest are all boys, and who really stands out is Spike. Spike is a 9 year old, he has that old man look about him and he has half a tail. he is also a sweetheart. We will be getting the boys neutered, all but Spike, due to his age it is best not to place him under anesthesia.
Today, Scout was adopted. Scout is a male ferret, he was given to a person who didn't want him. How anyone wouldn't want him, I don't know... he is such a sweetie, so layed back and loves attention. His playful antics are always a riot. His new home has a male ferret , Bruno, and two other ferrets that were recently adopted from the SPCA. His new Mom loves ferrets and most other animals ( our cat, Randy, loved her up :) ) though she let me know she could do without the reptiles. She is interested in fostering for us too, which is very helpful to us.
Also today, two Mom rabbits and their offspring arrived. What was thought to be a female rabbit was placed with these two girls, it was apparent that the bunny was not a female, but a male. And he quickly impregnated these two girls. One litter is about 6 weeks old, and soon will be independent from their Momma, the other litter is a few weeks younger and still nursing from Mom. It will be a while before these babies are old enough to be spayed and neutered, and also a while before the Mom's are "dried up" and ready to be spayed. They won't be adoptable and up on Petfinder for a while.
I'll be taking pictures of Cadet the bunny today and the cockatiels, Camelot and Gabriel. I already have pictures of the degus and River the rabbit, just need Ray to download them for me, or is the correct term, upload? I don't know.
Here are a couple cute pictures of Mr. funny-cute pants Scout. I am so happy he has found his loving home.
