As the 11 baby guinea pigs that came from 3 different Moms turned 3 weeks old, it was time to separate them according to gender. These are all piggies that resulted from the 50 plus abandoned guinea pigs, and yes, more babies will be arriving. There are 2 heavily pregnant females and others that may not be showing yet. All females ( except the 3 whose babies just weaned from them) will be on pregnancy watch for at least another month before they are adoptable. Okay, back to what I was saying, it turns out we have 6 boys and 5 girls. During the course of the week, 2 boys were adopted and 2 girls, they found homes quickly :) The rest I have named and taken pictures of; Girls- Nova, Pudding and Jello Boys- Chip, Mascot, Turbo and Tubby
Willis the rabbit has been with us since October of 2007. He was found outside and caught by a nice person. More than likely, someone didn't want him anymore and let him go. Willis was brought here so that he could find a permanent home. He has been waiting patiently for so long... and now his time has arrived. His new Mom Annette has fallen for him and will be bringing him home tomorrow. Hooray for Willis!
We have a new foster Mom that has volunteered for Life Long Tails. She is now called foster Mom Lisa. She has a full room she has dedicated to fostering the rescued pets. Today she transported River the rabbit, Sebastian the guinea pig, 6 female rats, and 4 female rabbits; Sierra, Chelsea, Pandora and Enchanted to her home. She will care for them, give them loads of socialization and spoilage while they await the day they are adopted. We are mighty grateful to Lisa. We love each of our foster families, they are doing such a wonderful thing for these precious little ones.
We do have two new arrivals, they are 2 female rats that are now with Lisa. I named them Rosetta and Lilac. They were no longer wanted by their former owner. What really irked me was that they were brought to us inside a bird cage.. and it was obvious that they were living in this cage. The bottom of the cage was so soiled and stained it couldn't have been from short term use. This bird cage was TINY, it was too small for a finch bird let alone two rats. There were still the bird perches and swing attached on the inside, that they couldn't use even if they tried. They didn't have anywhere to turn, lie down or a bed, levels, no toys.. only that perch, swing, an empty food bowl and water bottle. I was so sad and mad at the same time. I got those babies out of there, and tossed the cage. Then I introduced them to the 4 female rats we have here already. They loved Rosetta and Lilac right away. And now they have Lisa to fatten them up and show them a much better life. Those poor girls, I am so happy their life will only get better from here.
