I don't want to get my hopes up as this year has not been good for cockatiel eggs. But Dapple and Nova have 3 eggs and at least 1 is fertile and developing!

Picked up 3 new dumbo ear female ratties at the flea market today. They are future breeders and are so sweet.
Project mice. Let me know if you would like to meet them.
And the oldest rat in the house award goes to this guy! He was born in the winter of 2021 and is a rex Siamese split to Harley. His father was a Harley who died from cancer almost right when he was born. He is starting to show his age and unfortunately one of my other males must have injured him. I found him with a large hash in his right back leg today. So he is being isolated and will be treated for his booboo. His cage mates included one of his sons who was born in January of this year. That is pretty impressive! I also saved a daughter from the last litter he sired.
I got a new degu today thanks to a friend. She is a really pretty greyish white color. Hopefully she can be introduced to my other 2 and be one happy degu family!
When I clean cages, I let the bunnies roam the shed. I have to be careful not to trip over them. Here is Timothy checking out the rat racks and looking for dropped treats.
Some baby mice from my tri-color project :)
As of yesterday we are up to 4 eggs. I'll check them for development probably on Monday.
I am selling one of my rabbit/quail cages.

Some boys this morning
Not enough seats at this table. Goldie is waiting for her turn.
And then there were 2. The birds all get scrambled eggs with chopped veggies and spring mix greens today. I have some birds who won't eat chop or pellets, but all of them eat scrambled eggs, so I add chop to the eggs and they get it.
Happy 4th of July! Check it out, Faile laid an egg today :)
Hippo is the oldest gecko in the house. In Feb of 2016 I got a phone call about a gecko and a ferret who's owner died. The owner had been a guy I knew as a kid. He died in a motorcycle accident following the death of his wife. So the leopard gecko and ferret came home to my house. The leopard gecko is named Hippo. For hungry hungry Hippo.
Gave the cockatiels scrambled chicken eggs with spirulina and fresh spring mix for breakfast today. They approved.
I am leaving Jack and Faile in the breeding cage for now to see if they clutch again. They are already back spending time in the nest box, so hopefully!
Timothy got to spend a few hours outside this morning while I cleaned cages. The outside dog run has lots of greens for him to chow down on. Then I trimmed his nails..for which he was not amused.
One of my tri color mommas has a litter! And the satin tri color female looks like she might have her litter today or tomorrow!!
I pulled this solo chick for handfeeding on Tuesday. Today I banded him and took a few drops of blood for DNA sexing. But if I was a betting person, I would say it's a boy. It's a whiteface split to pied and will have a really nice crest with a lot of white feathers mixed it.
Yes..it's a mouse spam day lol
My baby tri color mice :)
I absolutely am in love with these mice! If anyone is looking for a super cute pet mouse or mouse pair, please let me know!
I had my first leopard gecko eggs hatch today in over 14years!!!! Wow I forgot how tiny hatchlings are.
Forgot to post the photos of the baby. It got so big while I was gone!
Baby cockatiels are so ugly cute. This is the ONLY baby to hatch so far this year. It's parents are taking amazing care of it and I will pull it for banding, handfeeding and DNA sexing next week.
So I worked for over a year to produce my first tri color male mouse. He had an ear infection but has completely recovered with antibiotics. I found 2 female tri color mice at the Tampa repticon this month, And one of my males sisters gave birth to 3 baby tri color mice! I'm so excited. :)
I went to do a nest box check and feed thr birds some veggies this morning, and found the second egg in Jake and Failes next was turning dark. Sadly the chick inside died. So looks like we will have 1 very fat baby for now.
Sometime within the last 2 days while I was at work, the first of Faile and Jacks eggs hatched! 1 more egg to go. Unfortunately only 2 of the 4 were viable.
Every wonder what goes into caring for all my animals? I do not have employees or kids to help. It's just me and once in a while the boyfriend helps with some of the bigger projects. But otherwise I clean, feed, water and maintain my "zoo". My bf was awesome and got me a bunch of insulation sheets to add to the animal building. It's been brutally hot here in Florida and my little AC unit is working over time to keep the critters cool. So this will be a huge help :)
I'm trying to think of a name for this beautiful little girl. She is from Ghost my red eye martin and one of my silvermane mommas. I don't think I have ever seen a rat with her coloring before. I might name her Elsa...she looks pretty frosty!

The bunnies are back on the market. I have a few different people coming out this week to pick some out so message me if you had wanted one :)
Currant baby rats growing out, they are not ready yet! Mom is a red eye Martin Dumbo ear and. dad is a top ear blue and white marked.
I haven't shared the green cheeks in a while. This is Lilith and Orpheus. Lilith was being very social today.
Degu proofing their wheel. The male is soo friendly and comes to us for attention. The girl is more timid but I think with time and work she will become as friendly as this guy
