Updates, stories, and news from the rescue
Did you know that March 23rd is National Chinchilla Day? We couldn't let it pass without introducing you to some of the very special chinchillas living in our New Hampshire sanctuary!
Yesterday was a big vet day, and we have updates on two of our special needs girls: Halloween and baby Sissy.
Alanna here, giving you today's baby rat update from the Long Island nursery. Things are progressing beautifully — and adorably.
I am losing my mind over how cute these babies are, and I need you all to know about them.
This is Tally — our second oldest guinea pig in the rescue, and one of the animals who inspired us to try something new in our approach to arthritis management. We want to share what we are learning, because it may be useful to other guinea pig owners managing senior animals.
Our sweet senior, Ophelia, passed away yesterday. She had been with me for almost four years, putting her at around eight years old — a remarkable age for a guinea pig. She was one of the most joyful animals I have ever had the privilege of caring for.
We have an update on Halloween, one of our young sanctuary guinea pigs, and while it is not the news we were hoping for, it is much better than it could have been — and it is a story worth sharing about the importance of catching things early.
February is Pet Dental Health Month, and our friends at Wheektopia Guinea Pig Care and Rescue Center have given us permission to share an extreme case they are currently managing. PB's story is a powerful reminder of why routine wellness exams matter — even for the smallest of animals.
We got surprisingly wonderful news at the vet this week, and we just have to share it. Caedence is doing better than ever — and given everything she has been through, that is nothing short of remarkable.
For those of you who remember back in October when we had that group of piggies that was handed to Jen in a box — this is Ducky's update, and it is a good one.
