From what I've read, stress can cause mite outbreaks to go from 0-60 and can also cause quilling. How do I know the difference? One of my guys is quilling like crazy and both are itchy. We just had an cage change, so I know stress is a factor. I've never had to deal with mites or really stress...

I started a daily blog about my animals and the silly things they do. Each day is a super short, 2-3 sentence post about 1+ of my crew. It's just getting started, but I thought I'd share! http://todayatthezoo.blogspot.com/

My poor little fancy rat, Minnie, has a large fatty tumor. We took her to the vet when it started out and she said not to worry about it. She's 5ish, so she probably wouldn't make it through a removal surgery and she said it would probably just come back. The problem now is that it's grown...

It seems I may be getting a dog. My fiance is a dog trainer and has a "student' in one of his classes who is going to be abandoned. The family realized they just can't care for a puppy. She's a 12 week old husky named sable. Kelvin came to me with his puppy dog eyes last night and asked if...

My boy proposed this weekend!!!!! We've been working on moving in together and I knew it was coming because I'm kinda old fashioned and wanted some type of commitment before moving in (the old why buy the cow, theory), but I thought it would happen at my college graduation NEXT weekend. I was...

http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11788617&cp=4090261.4090358.4342148 Adorable! My friend got me one :) It's at Bath and Body Works.

I got to wear mine to work this weekend, so I dressed up early. Who else has pics?!

Soooo I'm no "bible banger" like my sister is, but lately I've been getting stronger in my Lutheran faith. I still don't work a schedule that is conducive to attending church, since I'm student teaching and working a part time job which equates to about 65 hours of work a week, but I've been...

One of my roommates turned the heat OFF because she was too warm instead of turning it down. It got below freezing here last night. I woke up at it was 60 degrees Fahrenheit in my house, a whole 15 degrees lower than Wall-e should be. Yes, he has a heat lamp, but it's not a miracle worker...

Tomorrow is Wall-e's first day of school AND first day of work! He's not as excited as I am. I promised my students that on my last day of student teaching, I would bring my hedgehog in for them to meet him. I got a teacher with a private office who will be absent let me use her office to keep...

So, I've decided to start a blog. I'm not expecting it to get any reads, but for anyone who's bored or interested in reading my stories about students, etc, you're more than welcome to it. I'm not linking it to my facebook because I don't want every tom dick and harry who knows me to be up on...

Some of you know that shortly after adoption, my poor little guy took the backseat to my boyfriend's rats this summer. I was looking forward to giving him the love and attention he deserves when I gave them back to Kelvin upon his return to the states. Well, my little guy is getting used to...

Well, we're not getting a place together for a few months, but the boyfriend and I adopted a husky/australian shepherd mix. Lucky for me, he'll live with Kelvin while he works out his training issues :) He's so cute! His name is Maverick (although he doesn't respond to it yet. We might get...

These rats fight so GD much I'm losing it. The one who picks the fights got her karmic butt whooping. I noticed just now that her eye looks all foggy, almost like severely progressed cataracts. Anyone know anything about eye injuries? Is there anything that can be done? I haven't really...

http://www.shanalogic.com/girls/jewelry/hedgehog-love-ring.html I neeeeeeeeed one!

My little guy has fallen in love with hard boiled egg yolks (turns his pointy nose up at the whites, oh well) but I want to find a way to make it last, slow him down, etc. Is there any way I can put it in some sort of treat ball or a DIY version? I don't want a chunky hedgie but he goes...

I'm just curious, since both of my hedgehogs are polar opposites...does your hedgie primarily sleep balled up or stretched out? Hammie was in a ball 99% of the time but Wall-e is a stretcher. I find it so odd when I see him stretched out sleeping under his PJ blankey.

So the rats are being much nicer to me since I've been giving peas more often but I wanted to know how many peas is too many peas in terms of per day? I ask because it's the only way to get Molly to take her antibiotics which she needs twice a day for five more days and if she isn't cooperative...

I figured this is the only place anyone will understand this. I'm not looking for sympathy or anything. Just needed to tell someone (or several someones) who would get the stress of balancing life and a hedgie. I'm taking care of these 4 rats for my boyfriend while he's studying abroad. I...

My boyfriend is in Australia and I have his 4 female rats. One took a chunk out of Molly's scalp. There's a square half centimeter (just under half a centimeter, really) missing from in front of her ear and I'm pretty sure I'm looking at skull. She doesn't seem upset about it and it's not...
