Drae

We received four new arrivals yesterday. Drae and Zae the hamsters, Rango the leopard gecko and Snickers the guinea pig. Drae is a special hamster and has a story to tell. He arrived with horribly overgrown teeth. HIs bottom teeth were growing out of his mouth and his top teeth were grown into the roof of his mouth!! He is very thin, I am sure he has not been able to eat for some time. I immediately trimmed his teeth to their suitable length, the top teeth did come out of the wound on the roof of his mouth. I also gave him a tiny bit of metacam to ease the pain. I called the vet right away and got the soonest opening , Monday at 2:30 for him. Later that night he started actively eating tofu and other foods. This morning he has a pile of poops, I realized there wasn't any poops in his cage when he arrived even after the previous owner said that cage had not been cleaned. A sign that he definitely was unable to eat. Drae would love someone to sponsor him. Would you like to sponosr Drae?
