    eye not looking well

    I noticed this morning that one of my girls, Nibbs's eye wasn't looking right. Taking a closer look at it I could see pink skin in the front corner of the eye, which she had not had the previous night. The other eye (right) is bright and bad side is still bright, not clouding and she seems her...

    Cage change- questions??

    Next weekend I plan to introduce my newly nuetered male Twoonie to my 2 females, Nugget and Nibbs. This brings us to the joy of cage changes!!! The first problem I run into is that my bedroom doesn't allow me to expand longer than a 2x4. I have drawn plans and tried to re-arange all the...

    Ok, my little Twoonie got nuetered on the 10th, and I've been keeping a close eye on him, I noticed on monday that he was hard on one side of his scrotal area, and not the other.

    Neutering-bathing?

    Hello everyone! Well, my little Twoonie is going getting his man hood taken away this friday and I have one quick question. My mom brought up that maybe I should bathe him before he goes to the vet, like on wednesday with a clean cage for him, but I'm not so sure. He's clean, not sticky, nice...

    My love, Pumpkin, has passed

    I was hoping my first post here would be far from now, but sadly Thursday the 11 between 9:00-9:30 Pumpkin passed away. I knew his time was limited, he had been going downhill big time for a month, and gradually over 6 months. I thought he was sleeping, but that makes me happy. He was so...

    Bathing

    I need to wash my long haired boy, Pumpkin. The only thing I'm worried about is that him and his buddy, Twoonie, can get a little, studly, sometimes. Should I be worried that if I bathe Pumpkin, then put him back in the cage that they will fight, as Pumpkin will smell different? Should I wash...
