As soon as we got home today we had to start making HPW. We ran out last night, so it was a have to type of thing. Since we got our new box of Wombaroo powder and 160 ounces of honey, we decided to make 8 batches of HPW. We even stopped by Dollar General and picked up a couple new containers especially for HPW. Unfortunately, they're not big enough and only hold 3 batches each. We were hoping they would hold 4, but it worked out better that way. Now we have 6 batches out in the deep freeze and 2 in the house. I'm very curious as to how long these will last -- I'm thinking until next months sometime?? Like nearing the end, maybe even November!
Before I forget about it, I'd like to talk about a couple items we got in the mail for the ratties yesterday. I was reading a girls post in one of the rat groups on Facebook and was moved by her cry for help. Her poor rat boy had a hernia that was spilling out into his testicles. Unfortunately the surgery was going to cost $600, which she didn't have. She was asking for donations and in return you got sewn items. Yes, we can sew our own rattie items, but I know first hand how it is to need a lot of money up front for rat surgeries. I ended up getting a rat cube ($12) and a little rat bed ($9). I sent her a little extra to help. It wasn't much, but I hope it was enough.
We got our adorable little cage set items in the mail yesterday while I was at work and they're adorable! The bed is s tad smaller than I thought it would be, but I'm sure it will suffice. I want to find some of the same material and make them a few more things to go with it.
Have I even mentioned that Chloe and Boone's little boy detached early yesterday morning?? Well he FINALLY did and weighed in at a whipping 19 grams! He's by far the biggest joey we've ever had here. He's also a big cry baby, but oh my god, he's SO cute!! He's also extremely pouch stained, which is another first for us. Chloe needs to not be so greedy next time. As of right now, we're calling him Norman.
Speaking of joeys, Wanda will be leaving us Friday. We're meeting Milli in Poplar Bluff to hand her over. It's going to kill me, I love her so. :( I don't think it will be half as bad parting with Pietro, though. Now THAT killed me.
Well I guess that's all for now. It's getting late and I'm getting a thirst for coffee. Until next time...
Love & Peace
