My Pet Rats' 2nd Birthday
Honor and Maggie, my "Pandemic Babies," turned 2 on 9/14/22. Second birthdays are bittersweet because I have not yet been lucky enough to have a rat reach 3. These two girls are ultra special. During lockdown, they kept me company and nourished my soul. I love them sooo much!
They recently became big sisters to Harmony and Buttercup, adopted August 7. This was the easiest integration of babies with older rats I've had for years. They are fantastic, loving big sisters-and very patient with the babies' shenanigans.
Their birthday "cake" was a healthy pumpkin omelette with apple butter for frosting (no added sugar) and popped rice cereal for sprinkles. All four girls gave it two paws up. (I ...

My Pet Rats are Ingrates

Spent some hours making my rats a new hammock cube with a padded mattress to celebrate World Rat Day (04/04/22). They were not as appreciative as I’d hoped.
Cute Squirrel Eating From My Bungee Feeder in a Snow Storm
Просмотров 562 года назад
I bought a squirrel feeder called the "Squngee" from my local Wild Birds Unlimited. Having a large black walnut tree in our yard, I don't need to feed the squirrels in summer, but they need help come winter. The bungee cord is meant to encourage them to jump up and work for their food, but in weather like this they have to work hard enough just to survive. To help out I've placed a footstool un...
Meet my Newest Rats (the “Pandemic Babies”)

These two babies (born 10/15/20), named Honor (cinnamon standard ear) and Maggie (mink dumbo) have been my light during difficult times. They join two older girls (not seen here). I adore these two! I’m so thrilled to have found an outstanding breeder. They are incredibly human-oriented and have the best temperaments. The first two clips show how I train babies to accept being examined while ly...

    It is typically 108 to 114 degrees in summer where im at and i enjoy the toads, so i have started leaving pot plants full of dirt but no plant on the porch and making the dirt mud each night. They bury themselves and live there until nightfall. It keeps them moist and cool during the day.

    Nice of you, but it just prolongs his suffering. Would you find a man dehydrated in the desert and give him a drink? No, you would get him someplace where he could get hydrated. Now, what if he was suffocating, because of the dehydration? Get some gloves and put Kermit in a terrarium, until the weather changes.

      I discovered how wonderful rats are in the 80s and got my first pets during medical school. I couldn’t have a dog in my apartments, but rats’ personalities are rather dog-like. I call them my pocket pups. Because people are so disgusted by wild rats, I rarely tell strangers I meet that I have rats. I say I have “Norwegian hamsters.” Lol

    here is some info if you or a viewer needs it, & you can delete my comment after you get it TLDR = if you find a baby squirrel warm it up, so you can return it to mom & or safely rehydrate it, so you can safely give it formula & seek out a wildlife rehaber for help & keep trying till its releasable, = long version = safety baby squirrels dont survive rabies long enough to infect you with it, head trauma mimics rabies & they can be fearless & very sociable so if it pursues or climbs you, or a pet its likely just an orphan BUT ALL pet's digestive & oral bacteria can kill it SO seperate them NOW ! health baby squirrels can't stay warm, drink, eat, or eliminate without help till 40 days old. mom will not reject a baby for your scent BUT MOM WILL REJECT A COLD BABY, so bring it inside to warm it up to human body temperature & then Reunite it with mom look up "Reuniting tree squirrel babies with their mom" mary cc squirrels reunite & if this fails seek out a wildlife rehabilitator for help & keep trying till its releasable feeding methods & math its weight in grams divided by 20 to set how many cc's to feed it every 2 hours & to prevent aspiration pneumonia feed it via 1 or 3 CC oral syringe feeder pointing up & the baby lying tummy down & rehydrate it for a day using Pedialyte, & please look up the 2018/09/11 video "Thirsty baby squirrel!" by Jasmin121176 , this only works if you use a metric gram scale , GET ONE! or explaining why, a squirrels weight in grams is 20 times the safe stomach capacity in ml & cc's per feeding so find its weight in grams divide it by 20, & thats the number of ML/CC's to feed each meal this stomach capacity to weight ratio "5 percent rule" only works if you use a metric gram scale diet FAST growing baby squirrels NEED adequate nutrition till THEY reject it at 10 weeks old DIY 24 hour perishable 3 parts goats milk, 3 part yogurt 2 part heavy whipping cream till over 4 weeks old & THEN transition to "fox valley day one 20/50" or a zoo / wildlife grade formula seek out a wildlife rehabilitator for help & keep trying till its releasable later at 6 weeks of age let it practice gnawing solids like; fruits, monkey chow, & dry Puppy science diet. at 8 week of age test if a baby squirrel can drink water from a shallow container AND crack a nut look up 1X1X2 foot nesting box & 4X4X7 foot pre-release cage so it can learn to "squirrel after 6 months of age squirrels become unpleasantly wild SO soft release/ slowly free it, BUT during all of this seek out a wildlife rehabilitator for help & keep trying till its releasable why listen to experts mixed with some good info on the Internet, is advice that will kill the animal , Cow’s milk, goat’s milk, human baby formulas, & "most" other pet products lack nutritional value, are less digestible & boiling or scalding it wont fix that & over the long term of months these WILL cause failure to thrive, MDB , & death due to malnutrition so seek out a wildlife rehabilitator for help & keep trying this information is designed to give you some guidance in what you can do only until you can reach a rehabilitator or vet & is not designed to take the place of them "unless necessary" see also "I Found a Squirrel Wildlife Rescue & Rehab" on youtube NOW & "Helping pet squirrels become wild again" mary cc squirrels tametowild, "squirreltales dot org" , hsvma org assets pdfs hsvma_wildlife_care_handbook pdf squirrel-rehab org rehabinfo infantfeeding html "squirrelrefuge dot org" , "thesquirrelboard dot com",

      Thank you for taking the time to educate everyone with scientifically sound advice. ❤️ Even though I'm a people doctor, I would never attempt to rehab a baby animal of any species for exactly the reasons you state-lack of expertise will kill them. I'm lucky to have three local wildlife rehabbers on speed dial, one with particular expertise on squirrels. (I called her last week about an injured adult squirrel and the story ended happily. ) I cringe when I see untrained people "rehabbing" babies. Thanks again for caring! 🥰
