And I'll bet you can't believe it, but I got MORE animals last month. I'm starting to think I might, indeed, be crazy. I just happened to be perusing facebook one morning and saw a post by the Animal Welfare Association, which is a shelter, that same one I got the rats from, actually. They posted about a woman who found rabbits in a cemetery behind her house, where people apparently drop off animals they don't want anymore. The shelter offered to take in all of the rabbits and their litters (21 in total). Before they could accommodate these, however, they needed to clear out the rabbits they already had.
They mentioned 2 that had been at the shelter for 8 months! I didn't need to hear any more. They were mine. I went and bought a new cage and supplies and picked them up that day. They are half New Zealand albino and half lionhead, so they are pure white with pink eyes and have long hair behind their ears. They are absolutely adorable and I can't believe they were stuck in a shelter for most of their lives. Their names were Mara and Elsa, but I renamed them Molly and Ella. I just think they fit a little better. So yeah...
My current zoo is now at a record number of 8. Between vet visits and the ridiculous amount of hay and bedding I have to buy, I'm broke. But my critters are happy, as am I.
