Baby Squirrel
So... where have I been the last few days? Taking care of a baby squirrel! My friend held her so I could take pics...
Drinking from a bottle...
All stretched out...
She's going to have to go to the Wildlife Rehabilitation people, probably tomorrow, but we love her, so I wanted to show everyone.
We confiscated her from someone who didn't know how to take care of her (Most likely he caused the deaths of her brothers and sisters, he found them after he cut down their tree), and she's getting better really fast.I just hope she keeps getting better.
More animal news (this stuff really keeps me busy): one of my rats ( a friend's actually, but our rats live together, because rats are social animals, and I'm the one who takes care of them) had to go to the vet to get her tooth trimmed. Rat's teeth grow constantly, and they chew on things to wear them down, but sometimes they over grow. One of her teeth did that, and since her nose is crooked (she fell on her face as a baby), it was growing into her lip... but she wouldn't let me fix it (I fix the hamsters teeth myself). After the vet fixed it, he came out to ask us some questions about her... mostly, what happened to her teeth?! Apparently, she's missing one, and they all go at strange angles. No wonder she's such a grumpy rat.
hmmm, bright doll today:

I don't think her tooth will grow back... but she's managed just fine so far. She's got another appointment soon, so that the vet can make sure everything is going well.
