Fundraising for 10 Rabbits

We currently have 10 rabbits within our foster network that needs to be spayed or neutered. We spay and neuter rabbits before they are placed up for adoption. We have Thumper, Simba, Penelope, 4 lionhead rabbits that haven't been named yet, Grace, Misty and Todd. Neuters cost $85 and spays cost $110. This surgical procedure will help calm a rabbit and take away bad behaviors (such as spraying, cages aggression, etc) and help with good behaviors ( such as using a litter box). There are also health benefits. It is a known fact that spayed/neutered rabbits live longer and healthier lives. Thank you for supporting us and the 10 bunnies.
You can use the ChipIn link below to Donate. Thank you everyone! We couldn't do this without you support :)

Tax Exempt!!!

Small Pets-Big Hearts is now officially a 501c3 Tax Exempt organization!!!!!!!! YEAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pheobe

I have some terrible news. We lost Pheobe the ferret, she passed away. She saw Dr.T yesterday, she had low blood sugar, he suspected insulinoma, a tumor on the pancreas. He told us to start her on Prednisolone and get some food in her if she isn't eating. I gave her the meds last night and syringe fed her some chicken baby food. She perked up , seemed to gain some energy after that. I went to bed late last night and woke up to find that she had passed.


We will miss her terribly, and so will Rufus and Crimson the ferrets.

A Nice Sunday

Today is the last day of July, and it turned out to be a great day. And not just because I didn't have to work today.
In the afternoon Charity the guinea pig was adopted. And Miles and Mitchell the rats were adopted, their new family traveled all the way from Ohio to meet them and take them home.
The rest of the afternoon was spent cleaning some cages and letting the rescue ferrets romp around the living room.
In the evening, we had one of our bi-monthly board member meetings. Great discussions and new ideas formed for the rescue.
The rest of the night was spent cleaning cages and loving the animals. I surrounded by utter cuteness tonight. Dominic and Rufus the ferret were spooning each other and using each other as pillows. Cora was grooming Midge the rat's face while they snuggled in a hammock, everywhere I looked I was "aawwwwing" over so much adorable little ones. Our family cats were even curled up in their beds, and Randy the cat was laying on his Daddy, Ray, they were both asleep. It all warms the heart.
Good night everyone, we hope for an equally wonderful month for August.
PIctured above is Charity and Miles.

Degu, Adoptions and Blake

5 rats went home over the weekend. Amos, Bryers and Cody went home after they were neutered. Devon and Ryder were also adopted. All very cute boys that now have wonderful homes.
We have a new arrival today. A degu! Sh has been shuffled from home to home, and wound up at our neighbor's house. They weren't ready to care for a degu, so they called us for help. Poor girl lost her past history during all the home changes. We do not know where she originated from, or how old she is and she doesn't have a name. She's been investigating her new cage and eating all the good stuff I offered her.
Blake the mouse does not seem like himself at all tonight. We will take him along to our vet appointment tomorrow that is already scheduled.

Orbit and Xena

Orbit and Xena the guinea pigs were just adopted today! We are truly happy for them! :)
