The world needs more rescues and fosters like you who are passionate about small mammal care. Sadly it’s almost impossible to completely stop neglect, abuse, abandonment, etc. The best we can do is increase education about proper care, create more organizations to helping people with pet care through unforeseen circumstances and create more resources & fosters to help these little guys

How were they abusing?

@No__direction__ 11 ай бұрын

@@Clov33 My comment isn’t directed at any specific individual :) Sadly small mammal abuse is somewhat common. Same with neglect. A lot of it’s unintentional though. There’s so much bad information online and many people don’t know any better… I added that last part because it’s important that we don’t shame or put people down about this. It’s better to have a compassionate and kind approach. It does boil my blood when people purposely abuse and/neglect animals but if it’s unintentional it’s extremely important to be kind, respectful and calm when educating them :) *Aggression won’t solve anything and may put that animal’s wellbeing at further risk by causing the owner to not listen and avoid the educator completely* Sorry this is so long 😅 I tend to ramble on (pretty sure that’s what it’s called?)

I was so saddened to hear about s***icde rates for people in rescues. My heart goes out to all, it is admirable and tireless work. I hope you can get some rest in between all the hard work you do. Thank you for being a voice for the little ones so many neglect. I'll definitely be donating as I can. I'm in CA so I'll also be donating to the CA hamster rescue as I'm able to 💙

Suicide rates are high amongst veterinarians as well. Animal people feel overwhelmed in a world full of people who don't care. I worked in a petshop for 13 years. Sadly, I understand why.

@teijaflink2226 8 ай бұрын

Sadly that doesn't surprise me because with every rescue it just seems to get worse, it never gets better, you save one animal and manage to adopt it to someone and then two more immidiatly comes in, there is never enough space and never time to rest and take care of yourself, which is the most important thing to not forget if you have a rescue that your own needs comes first, you can't save and help the animals if you get sick. You see real evil and the worst of people too, it feels like you're all alone and that no one actually cares and that you're never enough. Of course there are lots of wonderful moments too, I admire everyone who does rescue, it's not easy, remember to take care of yourselfs, this is a demand (I know many who neglect their own needs just because there is always another animal who needs them).

Those cases are just heartbreaking. I got three rat boys from different animal hoarding cases. One started with two petstore rats and ended with over 600, another one was over 1000. The problems that come from poor genetics and horrible living conditions are so sad. Our sweet boy Kain Highwind has lung and heart issues and at just 1 1/2 years old, his health problems are so bad that we're scared of losing him once again. He's so hyper and just loving life, it's not fair that he won't reach an old age because of his background.

Once I'm healed and can take care of another hamster, I intend to take someone in. My problem is that none of the rescues near me have hamsters now, or even tend to have them regularly. I don't have a car, so I can't go to the other side of the state, or to Canada, where I have found some. No luck in Buffalo, either, where I have family. Maybe someone will need to put up a hamster for adoption by the time I'm fully healed.

When I worked at Petco, an associate of the store purchased two of the winter white dwarf hammies from the same litter and when she brought them home, one hamster had bitten the head straight off her sister. She found them like that in the morning after going to sleep. She was in such shock and distress that she couldn't bear to keep the killer hamster and tried to return her to the store. I knew what was gonna happen to that hammy, Petco/Smart doesnt 'rehab' animals. If they get returned for being dangerous or biting, they get killed and trashed. Unceremoniously. So i took that Hammy home so she didnt starve to death at the bottom of a dumpster on 110 degree desert heat. She was awesome, i named her Jenova and she lived almost 4 years before she got fave polyps that suffocated her.
