Libby Takes up Residence at Vermin Village

Libby was taken to the Bonnie L. Hayes Animal Shelter by a family that no longer wanted her. They weren't even nice enough to wait until the Oregon Humane Society had an opening. :( BLH does not keep exotics, except for maybe ferrets. (This policy was set in January 2008.) So exotics are euthanized by the close of business. Luckily, Libby had someone looking out for her because someone at BLH called a friend of a friend and said friend than emailed me. So here we are, chilling at the laptop watching CSI. She's bruxxing madly.

She's a black and white hooded rattie. She appears to have a mite issue, so she'll be treated with Revolution. But she has the SOFTEST fur I've ever felt on a rat. Bunny fur!

She sure does like to drink a lot of water! She is also over 2 years old. The people couldn't even commit to keeping her for life. :/

Anyway, she has some sneezing so she'll start antibiotics. Her life has recently been quite chaotic so a little stress is understandable. She appears to have a small tumor as well. Total bummer that.

She is also an AWESOME lap rat. She just totally flops out!
