As you may have seen on the rainbow bridge thread, Wren. Sleep well 🌈 We lost the lovely little Wren this week. She suddenly became unwell and I had to make the hard and quick decision to have her PTS. Poor Henry has lost his second wiflet in a year, we are very saddened. But he is doing well. Unsure whether I’ll get him a new friend, I really would like to slow down on the animal intakes..however I’d hate to see him alone for a long time. So we’ll see.

Photo of Wren before in the morning of her being ill.. (excuse my face, I had zero sleep that night and was emotionally drained )

Other than that, everyone else is doing okay. The two other boys still have their teeth issues but are doing fine with their frequent check ups/teeth trims.
I had a busy weekend just gone, cleaned out all 29 pets (28 now). Chicken coop, bird aviary, Guinea pigs and some paddock cleaning for the horses.
I’ve been trying to fit in the odd ride on my Brumby Cappa at the weekends which has felt really good to be back in the saddle.
Autumn has arrived so the mornings are nice a cool which has been pleasant and there is even some grass growing..woohoo!
The Australian hay shortage is still ongoing, costing me an absolute fortune for the horses and guineas. Good job I’m doing some evening work to pay for the animals.

Oscar is now 9 months old, he’s crawling around keeping me on my toes! He’s a great little character whom loves all the animals. He fast crawls up to the Guinea pig door to watch them which is cute. He’s been teething, I’m exhausted this week from lack of sleep. But hey ho. He has 3 bottom teeth and his two top ones are almost poking through.

But all is good and well here, everything’s ticking along.

Hi everyone!
The drought has hit Victoria hard, we still have had almost zero rain since mid last year. The paddocks are dust and the cost of fed has tripled. Life’s hard. But we are all doing okay. The horses are still fat and happy, just a little dusty and pretending that they’re starved.. (they’re just like giant guinea pigs!).

The Guinea pig room is quiet, we lost Blossom a couple of days ago very suddenly. Now down to only 4 Guineas which is very strange. And unfortunately Lionheart isn’t doing to well with his tooth problem at them moment, his last vet visit a couple of weeks ago he was down to 740grams. Quite a sudden weight loss due to his bad tooth. I’m given him twice daily pain relief and critical care. If he hasn’t gained weight on his next visit in 2 weeks we may have to make a difficult decision. However, in saying that he’s still happy, and seems very active still. He still runs in circles at dinner time and manages to eat his veggies, I see him in the hay tray slowly munching hay and he carefully eats his pellets. I’ve actually noticed a lump on his jaw the past few days, I’m thinking it’s an abscess from the tooth.

Other than a bit of piggie problems the rest of the animals are well. I’ve been rescuing orphaned Lambs recently too. Caring for them temporarily until they go off to other carers.

Oscar will be 1 years old next month! He’s crawling and up to mischief. Still not sleeping through the night, waking many times. I’m tired constantly. Good job he’s cute.
