Daisy and Tessa

On April 1st, Daisy the guinea pig went home :) She is such a special guinea pig, she was born blind and deaf. Then yesterday, April 2nd, Tessa the female dwarf hamster was adopted.
We also took in 5 dwarf hamsters that were abandoned, they were formerly classroom pets. The majority of them have fur loss, one barely has any fur at all. I will get an appointment for them as soon as possible. Figure out why they are bald and treat it. They were living on Pine bedding which is bad for hamsters and any small pet. They could be highly allergic to it and the balding is from living on it for quite a while. They are now on Carefresh bedding and fleece. I will have our vet look them over and then we have a better answer as to why these poor babies look so badly. I will also take some pics, even though it is so sad to see. I will keep everyone updated on them and we also need to come up with names for them.
