Re: Friend neglecting my BP
Ive been waiting "patiently" since I texted and got a call back this morning that they would bring her this afternoon. Its been 8 hrs of waiting. I have patients with children and animals. Not with people that don't listen to me. Ugh I am starting to get pissed. I haven't even gotten a call or text saying they werent coming. About to call and see whats going on. Maybe if I invite them for dinner they will come and bring her. Guess I shouldn't be in such a hurry. By the way for the smoker on here. You don't smoke all the time nor really heavily in your rept room right. You also have good ventilation in there. They don't have good ventilation and they smoke heavily in there. The room is like a sauna in summer and cold in the winter with no air flow except when they ppen the door to go in and out. I will just feel a lot better when she is back under my care and management.

Is there a reason why they want to bring her instead of you picking her up? That's a little odd........
And a tank for an adult does not cost $15-20. They are probably closer to $70+.

Tanks of every size can be found at yard sales every weekend around here for a few bucks...a lot of them look almost unused. Lots of people get a fish or two and then store the empty tank when the fish die and the novelty wears off...
Re: Friend neglecting my BP
Sheis back home and in her temp holding pen lol. Yes its a tub. There was all kinds of poop and shed in that cage she was in. She is loving the fresh warm water in a bowl sje can climb into and warmth. I cant wait till my son is asleep and o can start scrubbing this nasty thing. About to start boiling the "furniture" that was in with her too. She already looks happier. Man am I happy too. She will be fed on Friday so that will be about 10 days give or take since her last feeding. Just this little I did tonight since her coming home has already made her happy. I do have a towel over her to keep her from freaking out over a new place and to keep my son from trying to mess with her.
Re: Friend neglecting my BP
No words except that he was mad I didn't lock her cage after feeding her. I wasn't the one that put the rat in there. I just finished scrubbing her cage with clorox clean up and rinsing it WELL. Put the new clean substrate and after boiling and then scrubbing the furniture put it in then put her in and she went bollistic. She has a clean hide clean water bowl with fresh water and wet moss in the hide. She warmed up nicely while I ate dinner and got my son ready for bed then her stuff cleaned. She pooped in the tub so that has to be sterilized. She has a heat pad with rheostat, and went into her hide woth a little nudging from me. I put a light blanket over jer cage to keep the cat from bothering her. I have a plastic water bowl she was curled in the tub in there. Its clean was an extra for trips with dog. I am going to wait a few days before I do anything besides check on her and change the water. She started to coil and uncoil around the soft clean substrate right away. They had reptibark in there before which isnt as soft. Shes a creature of comfort like me lol. I am all smiles tonight.
Re: Friend neglecting my BP
I am so glad to hear this ended well.
On the note of your "friends", some people should never be allowed to have animals. Or children for that matter...
Re: Friend neglecting my BP
Yes the emotional circus is over. I now just have to wait till Friday and start getting the appropriate enclosure and items for her to be really happy. Also food. She is already acting like she's hungry when I checked on her a few min ago. She also moved her hide lol. After this little wait on food for her the meals will be more reliable. Dang I hate moving. It always costs so muchto get everything sorted at the "new" place. I guess I should have been saving up for a new enclosure way before this but I also thought I would be getting all her equipment in the same condition I left it. I have priced out most of the stuff and its around $350. Not including the insulation for the outside of the enclosure.
