Little Bean as they’ve been nicknamed, the runt of the litter, is very slowly growing. She’ll be here for a while longer due to her size, I don’t want her leaving till she’s bigger. It looks like her left eye may have an issue because it’s never opened fully, so we’ll consult with our vet on whether or not that’ll be an issue for her, & what to do or not do about it. It doesn’t seem to bother her thankfully. She’s got the sweetest disposition thanks to the month I spent hand feeding her around the clock, she got very used to human interaction & craves it more than most tenrecs. All of my babies are very used to human interaction since they’re handled & talked to all the time, but this little gal had to be out with me every 3-4 hours a day for weeks.
Miss Ferula has a home & will be heading there in October, but till then she gets to hang out here for a while longer 🤗🥰.
Due to no fault of her own, little Pothos is available again.
This precious boy Monstera, is looking for his forever home. He’ll be ready to leave on 8/14. I have transport available to legal areas of the US for $200. Located in Ocean City, MD. Please contact for more info, either via PM on our page or by email at [email protected]
The babies are growing up so fast ❤️
Being a baby is so exhausting apparently 😴. Pothos here says that hand naps are the best & they highly recommend them 👌🏼. #sleepybaby #tenrec #lessermadagascartenrec
Philo the runts favorite pastime is climbing up into my hair & hanging out in it 😅. They’re still so tiny, but are strong & outgoing. I am still waiting to get all the babies DNA test results, the lab is being slower this year.
Baby tenrecs anointing is the cutest thing 🥰
Babies grow up so fast. These guys will be 5 weeks old soon 🥹
When people ask me what my tenrec babies are like, I’m gonna send them this video of me kissing Curious’s tummy & face 🥰. My babies are always very socialized & chill, but last years litter that Curious is from, takes the cake. All her siblings are just as sweet & laid back. Pretty sure I could put my finger in her mouth & she still wouldn’t bite me, most tenrecs would gladly chomp an offered up finger lol. This girl is the product of what I’ve worked years to accomplish, very well socialized & well tempered tenrecs.
Hemlock came out for some grass time, he very much enjoyed it.
The tenrecs are starting to come out of torpor & are ravenous for their insects 🪱.
Indigo- Did someone say worms?! 🪱😋
I know this isn’t my usual content, but I am trying to help my former animal care assistant back home in Middletown, MD find homes for some Robovorski hamster babies.
He rescued a pregnant female from a petshop where males & females were kept mixed together. She gave birth to 9 babies the next day 😳.
The babies were born on 01/14/24.
There are 4 females and 1 male still looking for homes. They have been handled daily since about 4 weeks old, but are just a bit squirmy due to their age, but are very sweet & handleable.
He is asking a small rehoming fee just to ensure they go to a good home. Proof of appropriate cage setup & food is required.
You can contact him at [email protected] or @camdenhainesfineart on Instagram.
Flower’s favorite place to be with me is either in my hand or under my arm lol. Anyone else’s tenrec have a favorite spot with them? She often falls asleep tucked against my side under my arm or in my hand 💜.
