Rowan was taken in due to being the last rat within his mischief, but their owner wasn't taking on any more rats. Instead of forcing him to live a life in solitude and depriving him of one of his basic needs, they decided to rehome him.  Rowan was a stunning 18-month-old Marten RED neutered buck, and had a history of inner-ear infections - they'd been resolved with antibiotics. Bonding to Travis and Trevor: As Rowan was neutered, we were fairly confident he would've been easy to bond to Travis and Trevor - two intact males. We were right! Rowan made two beautiful friends who loved him a lot. Introducing Alfie and Arthur: Alfie and Arthur were more difficult to bond for hormonal reasons but tolerated Rowan well as he was castrated. Eventually, we were able to bond them to the mischief too. 'Inner-ear infection' and TIA: Rowan had developed a mild head-tilt. Given his previous medical history, the vet believed it was plausible Rowan ...

Today's post is introducing Herbert and Valorie. Although they came from separate circumstances, we got them both on the same day.

We assume his owners no longer wanted him due to Roborovski's being hard to handle. Herbert originally had a typical robo-attitude - quick but harmless. We estimated him to be around 4-6 months old due to his tiny size (19g). Passing: Unfortunately, Herbert unexpectedly passed away only 3 months after arriving. The nature of his death remained unclear as there were no outward symptoms. We would suspect he had an internal illness that he was genetically predisposed to given his premature death. Herbert pas...

We took on 5 bucks - Anton, Alex, Alvin, Alan, and Albert. Alan was unable to be rehomed due for health reasons, but the other boys have all found their forever homes.

He had no health issues and was an outgoing boy.  After we were confident Anton was healthy, he went on to find a fantastic forever home with Alvin and his two new brothers, Vince and Jules. Alex: Alex was a young 5-8-month-old buck with a larger than life personality. He has no ongoing health issues. Alex went on to find a marvellous forever home alongside some of our other bucks - Oswald, Oscar, Egbert, and Edward. Alan: Alan was a 5-8-month-old buck with a chronic respiratory d...

Several years ago, we took on 7 gerbils who'd initially been collected by Hamster Haven (rescue) to prevent them from becoming raptor food. Sadly, all of the gerbils have since passed away, but they all had eventful lives that warranted their own blog-post. We fully acknowledge and agree that birds of prey need to hunt and eat, however, they shouldn't be fed pet rodents. We will divide the post into sections based on each gerbil in chronological order of passing.

The group of male gerbils were living as a trio and were popular on social media.  Unfortunately, Neville developed dental disease which caused incisor overgrowth and uneven wearing of his molar teeth. We believe it was...
