Hi again, this is a weird night. Came home and fed the normal treats and pancake didn’t eat. She looks like she might be going into statis 🙁  it’s always such a hard call if emergency or not, I don’t have lots of experience. Not stomach bloat. I’m going to monitor a bit and possibly go to ER 1.5 hours away tonight… She is acting pretty weird…[Read more]

Well, they did mention distracting her which made me realize I hadn’t reintroduced toys again since the bad bite a while back out of fear.. so I did last night. And I don’t want to get my hopes up because it hasn’t been long, but a couple hours last night and a short while now, I had some palm plates and a tunnel in the room and it’s helping..…[Read more]

Is it just red skin or is it swollen? Do you think there’s any sort of lump under the skin? Is there any sign of a sore/scratch thst penetrates the skin?

I’d try to clean it with saline, dab dry the skin with clean tissue paper or a compress.

Does he seem bothered by it? Does he scratch himself there?

Oh wow 😳😳😳

I use gluey paper, like lint roller paper on Snöa when she sheds, but that’s my only option with her since she is a rex. She shed something terrible a few weeks ago, I had to medicate her and syringe feed her for 3 days before she perked up and started to eat by herself again.

For horses nutritional yeast is recommended during heavy…[Read more]

Boys are doing great in the new neutral area with hide boxes and all today.  They seem to be extra crazy binking all over with more space now. Is it normal/OK for them to bink right into each other and run into each other? It worries me sometimes how hard they run into each other like they are clumsy.

Here is just a portion of what comes off in a very brief brushing session. Pro tip, don’t get a fur breed 🙄

I keep meaning to update here and add in pictures, but I never renege to update when I’m on my computer.

In regards to Luna’s weight gain, I’m a bit of an idiot and remembered the numbers wrong, I think she actually weighed in at 1.68kg. I put the 8 in the wrong spot, lol.

In good news, yesterday she did actually cross the 1.8kg mark, and what a…[Read more]

Colouration of the eye could be normal, but I’d recommend photographing the white areas once a month or so to compare to previous months. Luna had a similar white spot on her eye when I adopted her, it stayed the same for years until she came down with an active E. Cuniculi infection and then it grew. In Luna’s case it was evidence of previous…[Read more]

Thank you! You have really helped nerves this time around. Today they did 8 hours in the bathroom no issues still so I moved to new neutral area in her house that’s bigger in two attached pens. They were in there for an hour and half and did great. So starting tomorrow on I will do several long 8 plus hour days in there to make sure they are g…[Read more]

Ugh, that’s so stressful, I’m sorry 🙁 . And those pictures are so precious, it must be so frustrating to see them cuddle like that but then have it devolve into scuffling.

I hope the car ride helps, or maybe someone from the rescue can work with them for you to see if they can work some magic. That said, it would be completely understandable to…[Read more]

Everything sounds like it’s going really well! That’s a great sign that the binkies and zoomies aren’t causing issues.

To answer your questions about hides, etc,  yes you can use anything they’ve had with them in the bonding sessions in their final home. Brand new is fine too. As for stuff they’ve used before, I like to gradually add things back…[Read more]
