All week Iāve been thinking about this little sweetheart. A baby mouse to be specific.
I took this little one on from someone that had gotten him as a feeder for their reptile. Their reptile didnāt want him so I was asked to take him on. He was in such bad shape and couldnāt move when I first picked him up. I administered fluids, offered some sugar filled food, and kept him warm. He sat in my hand for about 3 hours the night we got him home. He perked up so much from the time we picked him up to the end of that night. I had such high hopes he would make it. I went to the store the next day to get him some extra stuff to make him more comfortable here and when I got to check on him he was no longer with us.
Sometimes it just doesnāt seem fair. Sometimes doing everything in your power just isnāt enough.
Rest In Peace sweetie. ā¤ļø
Happy to announce that this beautiful girl ate her first solids on thanksgiving morning. Thereās nothing I could have been more thankful for. This is such a great news, just shows us that sheās got enough fight left in her to do a 360 in health. This is what we want for each and every animal that comes in. Sadly some are too far gone and canāt make it, but weāre still thankful we get to be there for those that need our comfort and loving touch during their last few days, hours, or minutes.
I canāt wait to able to post a side by side of This girl showing how much sheās progressed in health when the time comes.
Itās hard rescuing, itāll always be. but one thing about rescuing is, itās worth it. Every single second has and always will be worth it.
This is the intake from the other day, still shedding all of that old dyed skin. This little one is doing amazing so far.

This is an everyday thing for LuLu
Mr Monk is growing so much, why canāt they stay little forever š«
Obsessing over some watermelon, first time getting some as a treat in our care.
Fruits should only be given occasionally as treats and theyāre so high in sugars, fruits are a tortoises candy. š¤£
New enclosure for Bruceāŗļø
$55 meal wonāt be going to waste around hereš pig loved it
Natural sunlight & yummy grass for my lil guys ā¤ļøš¢
I adore these two more than words can explain
Ralph got some yummy fresh veggies today, heās officially off of quarantine and moved into his enclosure. Enclosure is not fully set up yet but itās in use as you can see lol.
This dude came in as a found tortoise, his owners have not come forward yet so he will be staying with us for a month or two longer to give them a lengthy amount of time. If they do come forward, as mentioned before, we will be educating them on his species and making sure they care for him properly before releasing him back into their care.
For now heās on his way to 100% health, heās happy, and heās loved.
Heās got such a big personality too, itās crazy!

One of our newest intakes getting settled into her new enclosure. Naturalistic to make her feel at home.
I will post photos of her enclosure with her previous owners vs this enclosure.
Sheās a happy girl!
Me on a daily basis, you donāt need the gym when you have animals š I can give all my thanks to them for helping me lose 60lbs when I first started š
Gerald tearing a strawberry upš¤£
Fruits should only be given to reptiles as treats. Fruits are their candy, high in sugar. Too much is not good for them. Gerald definitely enjoys his occasional strawberry or banana though. āŗļø
The turtles are enjoying their new enclosure, I still have so much to add to make it more pleasing to the eye but for now theyāre happy and so am I.
If anyone is interested in donating a filter/pump for these guys weād really appreciate it! Weāve found some affordable ones on Amazon. Weāll be purchasing it next payday, but if someone would like to donate one before then that would be amazing! Just to help keep the water clear and flowing for them. ā¤ļø
š„ŗ how could you not love these little guys
Someone got to enjoy the turtles new pool today with mom, once he was out he definitely wanted back in.
Bedtime for the littles š„ŗ
Video was cut short, lights off, humidifier off, water taken out of their enclosure and changed for the morning, and checking on them one last time before I let them go to sleepā¤ļø
