Rosie is my cute, baby hamster and she has a HUGE story!
First of all, I saw her at my School's Animal Club when I came to help out for the first time. I wasn't at all please with the conditions the animals were kept with. There were over 13 hamsters, 6 chins, 4 geckos, 1 snake, 7 gerbils and many more. The Gerbils has a very nice, huge cage and was very clean and tidy. However But the hamsters and other animals had small cages and many escaped daily and then were found. So my teacher asked me to look at this one hamster who she said was "ill". She indeed was VERY ill, not just ill, she was dying. She had horrible Wet Tail, was so thin you could feel her ribs and spine, dehydrated, no food or water in cage, had a stroke the day before my teacher told me and couldn't walk etc. So, I told my teacher she needed to get her to a vet immediatly however she refused so I asked if I could take her, cure her and keep her since they weren't caring for her properly and she said "Ok, but she is dying anyway" How rude is that!
So, the day I got her, she went straight to the vet and stayed over night. She got a dose of Baytril and another medication, also was bathed and cleaned up. When I got her back, I bought her a nice, spacious cage with a Wheel, water, food, house, toys, tunnels and tubes etc and she loved them!
It's been over 2 weeks since I rescued her and she goes to the vet every weekend for a check up. Her wet tail is now 100% gone along with all her other illnesses and she is gaining weight and is now very tame and friendly.
The school thought she was a boy and I didn't think much of that until last weekend and the vet found out she was a girl! We called her Zenny when we thought she was a boy but now, she is called Rosie!
This is the most recent photo - If you saw how she looked before (It was awful to see, she was dying!) and how she looks now, there is a HUGE improvement!
