Enjoying the afternoon in #LongBeach at the El Dorado Nature Center! Lots of visitors here. We're getting slammed because we're sooo popular. It also helps that we're the first table you see.
We'll be at @thediscoverycube tomorrow at both locations from 11am-3pm.

It's been one of those weeks of "what now?" 😭
Tonight, Christine answered a call regarding two male guinea pigs found abandoned in a park in Inglewood. They're in good health, but the cat food they were left with has to go.
Special thanks to our fellow #Lawndale #animalrescue @therescuegarden for the emergency collabo to get these dudes to safety until we figure out what to do with them.
Disclaimer: #SBRR is NOT a guinea pig rescue. However, we've transported our fair share of various critters to people who can care for them. If you have a guinea pig situation, you will be referred to a rescue who is better equipped to handle them.
Disclaimer #2: If Christine doesn't get actual sleep soon, she's going to turn into a pumpkin because her brain is already mashed perderders. Also, over 600 miles of driving and at least five miles of walking in the last three days in triple digit heat while carrying a laptop around was a doozy. 😴

Our younger volunteers today debate on the squishiness level of these two chonky senior #ratboys. What do you think, carpet or potato? 🥔🐀

Oops litters happen. But they're still full of beautiful little #ratbabies that need homes.
We helped out a family in 29 Palms and took in a bunch of extra #babyrats that now exist because a male rat couldn't keep it in his pants. We all met up halfway in Moreno Valley and even invited our long-time friend and supporter @rattymommy (who lives in Riverside) to meet up and help us assess all the new additions to #SBRR.
It was a little warm outside, so we made sure everyone enjoyed dishes of ice water and treats and got settled in their transport cages before we drove two hours back to LA. And yes, we kept the A/C blasting until we made it back to the Beach Cities. ❄️
They're so #smol and cute. Lots of little rexes, dumbos, and a couple nudie rats. Mama rats on pregnancy watch for the next two weeks. 🥹🐀🤏🏻 Stay tuned.

⚠️LAGUNA NIGUEL RAT DUMPING INCIDENT UPDATE⚠️
As of 7/21, we have officially ended our rescue efforts for the domestic rats that were dumped on 7/12 as there have been no additional sightings of rats in the apartment complex in #LagunaNiguel. The last few traps have been collected and we are now focusing our efforts on caring for the surviving rats. Those rats are now safe with our foster family in Orange where they will be rehabilitated and socialized with the hope that they will be rehomed to loving families.
The end result of our efforts...
Rats rescued: 17 adults and 3 newborn babies.
Surviving Adult Rats: 8 (4 males/4 females)
Number of babies: 10 (Mama Laguna - 3, Mama Vegas - 7)
#Thankyoufollowers for your support and well-wishes during this difficult time. It has been great to see how much our mission means to so many people.

It doesn't take much to not become a rodent murderer.
Let's not have another situation like #LagunaNiguel.

We have a bit of an issue in Laguna Nigel right now. Domestic rats are running loose in an apartment complex.
As of 7:30 p.m. today, July 12th, I am heading there to try to grab as many as I can in this first round and come up with a strategy to retrieve the rest of them. Time is a bit of the essence because orkin has already put down the poison containers that are usually reserved for wild rats in the area.

We have a bit of a baby boom...and there's a possibility that we may not be done yet. 😳
Mama #1: We knew about this one and have been supporting her. However, the babies came to us a week earlier than expected because they kept escaping from their holding cage and the mama rat was being a little extra spicy toward her caretakers.
Mama #2: We picked up four females from Palm Springs two weeks ago and put them on pregnancy watch. One of the four girls popped today. We barely got her into a maternity cage in time because she climbed out during routine checks and wasn't found until this morning. 🐀🫘
Anyway, while we wait for all these babies, we have lots of ratties that have been here for a while and we would love to see them leave. Fill out an adoption application today!

Thanks to the “Comet Crew” Girl Scouts of Greater LA Troop 6252 for running the craft booth so people can go home with [paper] rats today!
