Adoptions and New bunnies and Rats

First , I would like to extend a HUGE thank you to everyone who donated to help Nizzle the ferret and for getting more bunnies spayed and neutered. Thank you to everyone who has adopted a little one into their life and home. Thank you to everyone who follows us on our blog, Facebook page, though e-mails and phone calls, visits, or fostering and/or volunteering. We have met so many wonderful people who love the little furries as much as we do. I am grateful for meeting people who have adopted, donated, supported, foster ( all of the above) who have also become friends. I never knew that starting this endeavor would introduce me to great friends and people that make me smile. I am thrilled about it. Even the e-mails or spoken words of support that we receive motivates us and makes us ( and me) smile. Thank You! It means a lot! :)
Great news! Littlefoot the rabbit has been adopted. Littlefoot came from a rescue in PA, our sister small animal rescue, Judge's Park. Judge's Park was overwhelmed with rabbits at the time. We took in 4 rabbits from there to help out and find them loving homes. We brought Littlefoot, Lissa, Abigail and Sara to Life Long Tails Small Pets-Big Hearts small pet rescue. It was about a 4 hours trip there, but it was a good time. The bunnies did well on the road trip back. Now , Littlefoot has a forever home. That same day, Spike and Pepper were adopted. They have a fantastic home where more than person is in love with them. They will be super spoiled!
Yesterday we received 2 bunnies. They were in a home where allergies and asthma was getting to difficult to manage. The bunnies names are Bun and Boomer, they are dutch mixes. They are both boys, already neutered and are bonded together. Couldn't ask for better bunnies. They will be adoptable soon. They are adapting to life in a the large bunny pen. So far they love timothy hay and running through the tubes. Then, later that day, we received 4 rats. They are all males named, Jules, Vincent, Gambit, and Logan. Jules and Vincent are older, nearly 2 years old. Jules has had chronic respiratory issues his whole life and is battling an onset right now. I've started him on a Baytril and Nebulizing regimen. I am thinking that we may keep Jules and Vincent within the rescue where a nebulizer and antibiotics are close at hand at all times. Jules and Vincent must stay together, they depend on one another. Logan and Gambit will be adoptable, they are younger. Logan is a white and blue dumbo eared boy, and Gambit is a red eyed siamese marked boy. Those two will also need to be adopted together. They are wonderful rats, very personable and friendly! :)
That's all for now. Just want to say again, thank you for following and supporting us and the little ones!

Hamsters, Latte, Arnold and Larry

We had a few adoptions last week. First, Blueberry and Raspberry went home together. Latte the guinea pig went home. Then Miki the sugar glider went home. Miki now lives with a female sugar glider. Miki is neutered, so no unexpected babies will come about. I am very happy that Miki is not alone anymore. Then Arnold and Larry the rats went home. It was a fabulous week :)
The beginning of this week started with a hamster surrender. 5 dwarf hamsters were brought to Life Long Tails Small Pets-Big Hearts in a cardboard box that used to have rat and mouse glue traps in it. Thankfully, the box was empty of any glue traps. But the five hamsters were beating each other up! I quickly separated everyone, discovered 4 females and one male. We now have to watch the females for a month to make sure no one is pregnant. If they are , we will take care of Mom and babies. Mom and Babies will be adoptable once they are ready. If they are not pregnant , they will be placed up for adoption. The boy that we named, Hefner, was bitten on the side of his face. One of the girls, now Susie Q has bite wounds on her belly. And poor little Katarina was bitten on her eye! I have an appointment for Katarina to see Dr.T, I fear her eye is gone. The others are already healing well. They are winter white dwarf hamsters. They are so sweet. I feel awful that they went through that horrific situation. They are now by themselves , the way they like it, safe and warm.
Tomorrow, Wario and Lissa the rabbits are getting spayed and neutered.
