Brixton and Sammie

Brixton and Sammie have fully bonded. They actually did a couple of days ago but they were inside the hammock so I couldn't get a picture of them. Today I did get a few pictures.

Brixton is a 1 1/2 year old PEW. She was taken in from someone that was going hitchhiking cross-country. She is a pretty quiet little girl.

Sammie is a gregarious little girl that also was adopted from someone that lost their housing situation along with her cage. She is a pretty kissy little girl. When they were first put in the cage together, Brixton slept in the blankets below and Sammie in the hammock. It was just this past week that they have started snuggling together.

Brixton was originally housed in Tickle Tower with the other girls. However she did not bond with any of the girls and she just didn't do well. She is now doing wonderfully with her friend.

Here is their cage. They live in a Quality Cage PC-1822. I added 2 small balconies to it--Corner Lookouts. I have 2 such cages. These are great for housing active female ratties. The door is big enough to fit the Wobust Wheel through it. It also features a slide out tray. (There is no wire floor.) The girls really seem to like it. The water bottle is a Lixit GB-KIT-S. I am using a Snapple bottle. I zip-tied the spring loaded "seed" cups as this cage is actually a bird cage. It is 18" wide x 18" deep x 22" high.

Zoey and Olivia Have A New Home

LMR found Zoey and Olivia a new forever home! This is such good news. They already got an update and Zoey and Olivia have taken to their new cage mate, a little girl that lost her cage mate. All three were in the hammock together. This is so nice to hear. I'm so glad LMR was able to take them to find them new homes. I will be forever grateful for that.

Cages

Well, I ordered my new cages a few weeks ago. I'll be selling all of my current cages. I'm so excited because the new room design will give me more room and make in-between cage cleaning a lot easier. I'll be posting pics as soon as the room is done. Finally. Right now I've really thinned out the room and will be sorting through stuff later tonight. I have a bit more cage cleaning to do now as I will be in Canada next week at Madonna's concert. I'll also, hopefully, get to meet the folks at LMR. Yeah!

Sammie and Brixton

No pics yet but after thinking Mimi, aka Marshmellow, would bond with Samie, I decided that might not be a good mix. When I was feeding the babies this morning, I noticed Brixton still had not really bonded well with the other girls in the Tower. So, I decided this morning that she should see if her and Samie hit it off. I put her and Samie together and so far, so good! So hopefully it goes well. I'll see about pics this weekend after I get my homework done. They are living in a quality cage PC-1822, white powder coated, with added balconies. I also have a Wobust Wodent Wheel in there and a hammock along with some other toys.

Mando's Eye and Health Update

Poor little Mando. His right eye had been pulled back into it's socket. I took him to the doctor 10 days ago and he has eye drops and oral medication. He went back yesterday and now he has different drops. Poor little guy. Anyway, he has also been started on blood pressure medication for heart issues. He is just under 8 months old. His brothers will be going in a couple of weeks for their heart checks with Dr. P.

Dr. S said his eye is reactive, so he can still see out of it. She is hopeful that they won't have to remove the eye.

Little Mando is a real sweetie, but very squirmy. Once you have him in your arms, he calms down and loves getting scritches.
