Baby Squeak was the cutest baby hamster.
This is me posting 1 AM reels to try to get us out of our interaction slump because I can't keep going with animal care tonight. So tired. So sore. Really gotta at least get bunny's more water.
It’s difficult to get a good video of the prairie dogs when they immediately beg to be picked up…
Wait for it... wait for it... there it is. There's the capybara farting in the tub you all wanted to see.
Really, let's see if a good old fashioned couple of reels can get us unshadow banned and maybe bring in a few much needed doll-hares to our 501c3 rescue! Venmo at @thepipsqueakery! #capybara
Did you know rodents don't get distemper? (the viral disease) So if you see a wobbly groundhog in the wild it will be some other problem. We've seen it with heat stroke, dehydration, contact with poison, head injuries, and even congenital health issues.
These are our sanctuary wobblehogs. You may already know Delilah (congenital) and Beatrix (head trauma) but you haven't yet met Wednesday and Xander who've just joined us in the last few weeks. Wednesday and Xander are stabilized now but don't seem to be recovering completely, so we'll see what more we can unravel from their medical mysteries in the future.
For now enjoy seeing a bit of mushy food time! It's a nutritionally balanced blend of rodent blocks, water, and peanut butter with a few flavors added for variety and dietary fiber. Tonight's flavor is vanilla. #groundhog #wildliferehab #monax
Do you have any fun costumes for your animals at home? This box turtle is going as a swamp monster!

Trick-or-treat!
The groundhogs went for tricks this morning by stealing my pants for their nest. I was looking all over the house for them but apparently they've learned how to take my clothes off the hooks on the walls for their own purposes.
In other news Fraser is healing really well from his amputation and things are sorta starting to feel like they're coming together here. We did need to order $1,028.97 in pelleted food yesterday and realistically need to order 15 more metal bass pans for critter nations before the chinchillas and squirrels eat the plastic ones but I'm thinking that will have to wait because the budget just isn't there for it.
If you're able, send a treat our way because we need the help!

Halloumi is pleased to make your acquaintance!
Halloumi is one of the guinea pigs that hangs out in our sanctuary group. He was part of an intake of 13 guinea pigs. When we got pictures of the enclosures they were living in, we thought their caretakers were using some new sort of bedding that we weren’t familiar with. Turns out it was all a carpet of poop carpeting the entire enclosure, without any actual bedding in sight! Some of the group were healthy enough to be adoptable after their spays/neuters, but several have ongoing dental or foot issues, which has led to them finding a home in our group of unadoptable sanctuary guinea pigs. Due to not receiving a proper diet, Halloumi has funky teeth, which is why he stays under our close watch.
Everyone in our group is from one tragic story or another, and understandably, they don’t like any sort of touch. We hand feed them frequently and thanks to our crew of volunteers (THANK YOU!) almost everyone will willingly come up for a veggie or piece of fruit, but no one likes pets. Except Halloumi! Halloumi enjoys ear rubs when he’s in the right mood, and he’ll close his eyes, zone out, and plop down to enjoy for as long as we’ll sit there. He’s a very sweet boy and he enjoyed some munches of clover and bell pepper today!

The squishies were ‘helping’ with some deep cleaning earlier today and have you ever seen a cuter sight?
These two won’t ever look like normal sulcatas due to the amount of neglect and mistreatment they suffered from. That being said, they’ve come leaps and bounds from early August! Both are more active, harder to the touch, and they seem to be a bit less flat. Both have also gained a dramatic amount of weight!
I promise to post more rodent stuff tomorrow so everyone gets their fix of pink noses and fuzzy heads. But with the warmer temperatures earlier today, all four sulcatas spent a significant amount of time grazing (which was my excuse for not helping to unload the truck, thank you to everyone who did!), and turtle munches and walks might be one of the cutest things ever.

Watching Caroline and Vanessa eat is like watching a game of Hungry Hungry Hippo!
The crunching noise you can hear is from the turtles beaks. Turtle beaks are shaped differently depending on the species and their diet! Beaks can be overgrown with improper care, which can be seen a lot in captive turtles from folks who made a spontaneous decision, or had a turtle suddenly thrust upon them. People sometimes ask if turtle bites hurt, and the answer is yes! Thankfully, Caroline and Vanessa haven’t ever accidentally bit, but sliders and box turtles angry about getting poked can break the skin.

It had been a while since I (Felicia) had been out to vist the Pipsqueaks that live outside at the new location. I was visiting with the capybaras when I looked over and saw a Patagonian mara appear to crawl around. I should have recorded sooner because they then threw themselves to the ground, similar to a bunny flop, and started rolling around on the dusty ground. It turns out that Patagonian maras take dust baths similar to other animals like chinchillas.
I was out at the rescue today working on our fundraising auction! Join us in our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/gvJkMBXw8ZFBo3aS/
The auction ends on Sunday!
We are at Fowler Pumpkin Patch today until 5! Stop by for some family fun and support this loca business that supports us!
Beavers groom frequently and are clean creatures. They’ve actually evolved specialized toes on their hind feet specifically for brushing their fur! Their innermost toes fold over each other and one toe is commonly referred to as the preening toe. The toes together function as a comb that helps them to brush through their fur. They also have a specialized toe, the second inner toe, which is referred to as the preening toe. The nails on this toe are specialized and function as more of a fine tooth comb, they also disperse a specialized oil they produce to keep waterproof.
