Look at how cute this little American red squirrel is! He just opened his eyes a couple of days ago and Jason is convinced he was surprised that I'm not actually a squirrel. The baby squirrels just keep coming and they're using a lot of syringes. Of course I can wash syringes to reuse them but eventually they get sticky and make the babies more likely to aspirate from the inconsistent flow. If you want to help raise these cute little creatures please consider checking out our Wishlist and sending a box of syringes! You can find our wishlist at http://a.co/fEKocKc The baby squirrels thank you!

Rory came inside yesterday for us to check her over and hang out just a bit. It's actually been about 4 months since one of these hates was last in her way, but it took her less than sixty seconds to remember how to open the little doggy door. Beavers are too smart, man. She's doing great, btw. The little lodge she and Addie stuffed with fluff has kept them warm even through our recent subzero temperatures. She grew very thick fluff for the winter and is still growing fast. I wonder what other puzzles we could put in front of her. Think she could set up our copy/fax/printer?

When you've got pet rats, often they will greet you similarly to my rats here. All lined up are Fortuna, Sylvia, Diomedes, and Dorian. I can't say the same of my rabbits or guinea pigs (unless I have food) and definitely can't say the dormice have ever greeted me like this either. If you're looking for pets that enjoy your company as much as you enjoy theirs, consider rats!

Happy World Hamster Day from our founding hamster the OG Pipsqueak! Here's her story. In June 2012 we brought home our first syrian hamster as a couple. Her name was Pipsqueak and she came from a local shelter. Pipsqueak wasn't very healthy though and over the next 3 months we took her to a local vet countless times. That vet didn't know a ton about hamsters, but she did alright. Then on September 8, 2012 we woke up and something was really wrong. Pipsqueak was barely conscious lying on her side in her cage. I called our vet. The one we had been seeing for 3 months and found out that they did no emergency care. Their recorded message referred us to a hospital in Indianapolis though so I took down that number on a little whiteboard on the side of our fridge and I called them. They answered and I thought for sure that I had found help. I was sobbing on the phone and explained what was going on. They told me they didn't see hamsters. We were out of options and so we sat together on the big chair in our basement and held Pipsqueak as she died. We told her we loved her and that it was ok to go as she took her last breaths. In retrospect it really was Pipsqueak's time to go, but I'll never ever forget the feeling of helplessness as I called and called trying to find help. Pipsqueak is the reason we started The Pipsqueakery. Pipsqueak is the reason hundreds of other hamsters and small animals have been saved. Pipsqueak's tiny little life was important and it made a difference. It's common for vets in the US to not see hamsters and I completely understand why. Sometimes if you dont know much about small animals it's better to say no and hope that someone who knows what they are doing can be found. But that helplessness, when you can't find someone to help, is the worst feeling in the world. Thank you to everyone who supports us. It's because of your donations and kindness that we can save the hamsters and other critters we do save. It's because of you we aren't helpless when a hamster falls ill. Thank you all for helping us do what we do, you make this possible.
