Home for Willis, new arrivals , Chip and Mascot







Today Annette picked up Willis the rabbit and now he is home :) Such a wonderful outcome for Willis. Sure he does have a tiny bit of attitude and is full of personality, but I sure will miss sitting on the couch with him and rubbing his head and ears, while he laid there looking content and happy.
Two more baby guinea pigs found homes also, Chip and Mascot. They are both boys and brothers. The babies are finding homes rather quickly, I am hoping the same for all of the adults. Those piggies have been through so much, they deserve a new start at a happy life the most.
A couple months back, two rabbits at Life Long Tails found a happy home, Pizzazz and Cashew. In their new home they bonded to a neutered boy bunny named Vinny, he is a tiny Holland Lop. Under sad and unfortunate circumstances the family fell into hard financial times and seek ed our help with finding a new home for the little ones. The family was heart broken to bring us the trio and also their ferrets , kevin and Panda, they truly loved them deeply. But a family with 6 children needed to make this painful decision to stay afloat... my heart goes out to them. We will spoil them they same way they were and all three bunnies will adopted together and both ferrets will be adopted together too. Once a bond is formed amongst rabbits, ferrets, rats, etc it is cruel to split them up for any reason. The only time a bond is separated is if one passes or the bond is broken somehow and fighting starts amongst them.
Tomorrow is the fourth of July , please keep your pets safe and think of them. Many pets are spooked and stressed during all the noise and activity of this day. If you know one of your pets get spooked during fireworks, place them in a room where they cannot injure themselves ( accessible glass windows, objects that can fall over, etc) and play some soothing music or a TV, some kind of neutral sound to help drown out the sound of the fireworks. Dim or turn off the lights in this room. For birds or other small pets , cover them up partially with a dark colored blanket, play music for them too. Don't become stressed over your pet's nervousness , they do pick up on our mood and it will only heighten their agitation. Stay calm and talk in a slow , soothing voice to them, they will appreciate it. Hope to hear that everyone had a safe Holiday and no one was hurt :)
