Lovely Halo and Please Adopt


The little girl dwarf hamster , Halo, passed away last week :( She developed a prolapsed rectum. Every hamster I have cared for that suddenly had a prolapsed rectum, it turned out serious and terminal. Even with veterinarian intervention, where they attempt to place the colon back inside and stitch it back in, then treat with antibiotics.. the hamster can never go to the bathroom properly after that and many times the hamster may have chewed their insides, they do not understand they are causing unrepairable damage, they are just trying to clean things up, they know that shouldn't be there! When I saw Halo's prolapse, my heart sank, I knew what it meant. I knew it was time to say goodbye to her. It was best to not let her suffer for another day or days, but to let her go with euthanasia. Even though she was a touch-me-not hamster, she was so very beautiful in my eyes.
We haven't had any adoptions in quite a while, but requests to surrender pet(s) keep pouring in. There are so many little ones that are waiting for their new family and loving homes. Please spread the word of adoption, for them and for me :) There are many male guinea pigs and Candy Corn the female guinea pig. Many female rabbits and Victor the male rabbit. There is a male and female syrian hamster , Aella and Justin. Two dwarf hamsters, Mac and Cheese. Lots of male and female gerbils. A female map turtle , Mr.T and a male red eared slider turtle, Hercules. 3 parakeets, Launchpad, Runway and Turbulence. And the newest arrivals are Hefty the large male guinea pig, Neeko the male ferret and Spazz the male rat. If you are looking for a new companion or know someone who is, please direct them to adoption. We are wondering if no one is adopting because they aren't aware of that option or that we are even here with many adoptables.
Thank you everyone :)
