Amazing spinies, fighting fosters and chipmunks!
Well its been a busy week here but not all that much to report mouse-wise. Benji’s skin is looking much better and he is definitely much happier to be back with his friends bless him. The girls are all fine although Hazel is starting to show her age now so I’ll be keeping a close eye on her. Amelia the spiny finally seems to have recovered from loosing Heidi and bonded with the other two, she really had me worried for a while! The foster boys are having to live separate for a bit as the lilac one decided to start taking chunks out of the other one despite having lived with him his whole life. A bit of fighting was to be expected given the new territory but unfortunately blood was shed so wounds need to heal before I can try them together again. Oh and I very nearly had some fosters of a very different kind when a friend asked if I’d be able to look after a pair of chipmunks for a few days! As it turned out they found a home closer to where they already are though so it wasn’t necessary.
Today’s news though is that I’m taking two more spiny mice from the recent huge rescue case. They’re two very special little girls, one is a little runty one who hasn’t been too healthy and the other has no back legs! Her wonderful foster Mum said the way she gets about despite her disability is just amazing so what else could I call her but Grace! The other one hasn’t a name yet but no doubt it won’t take me long once I’ve picked them up this evening.
