I have set up a Gofundme page in hope that we would get donations to help with the running of the recue and helping to support us. But sadly we have not got many follows to help us . So if anyone is able to donate any of the following items to the rescue to encourage Meg, Milly and Blue to eat more food. We would be most grateful for your help.
Ofcourse any donation of other items would be gratefully received too.
THANK YOU.

At last Mr.Blue has reduced his in take of syringe feed Critical care. He is now taking the Critical care balls that I make as long as I hold them ofcourse. He has taken a liking to Sunflower hearts which he likes as a little snack during the day. Fingers crossed this new medication will clear his infection up.

Happy to say that Meg has eaten 21ml of Emeraid Critical Care and 1ml of water. She was a super little girl and didn't struggle as much as yesterday. We had big cuddle and lots of kisses for mam. She decided to have a snooze in my arms with her belly full. So happy she is not so frightened anymore.

I have been making my own mixes again to bring food costs down during the summer. It looks so nice and I feel proud of myself for doing it again. Well worth the effort.

I have booked Meg and Milly in with the vet when I take Mr.Blue. For some reason they don't seem to be putting on weight and look quite skinny even though they are a pretty good weight Meg is 194mgs and Milly is 202 grams. Not a bad weight really yet they are very skinny. I even offered them extra bowls of water and a water bottle just incase they were not getting it out the bottle which they were as it was going down at a reasonable rate. I have hand fed them both and they took 14ml each which was quite a battle with Meg. She wriggled like crazy and a lot went over her face but I never gave up and had to wrap her up so she would eat. Milly was a little more co-operative and ate her food with a little objection. I hated doing it to them but I knew I had to try and get them to eat more and put the weight on. I just want to keep them safe and find out what is causing them to be so skinny. I am so worried about them and blue. I am doing all I can and putting extra food in to try to get them to gain weight a little.

Yesterday Mr. Blue decided he didn't want me too feed him anymore and was quite grumpy too. I put it down to not being happy because of the food change and after a couple tastes he decided to eat it. Syringe feed ofcourse today.
Unfortunately this evening I noticed that his head tilt had returned and he was not the happy little boy he had been. I will be ringing the vets in the morning too see if I can get him booked in as soon as possible. Poor baby boy.

Sorry for a not doing an update sooner but sadly I had to rush my daughter into hospital suffering from a heart attack.
Anyway because of that happening I never got the vet trip done but happy to say that Mr. Blue is improving with his weight. I have took him off Critical Care full dose and offering him a mix of ground porridge oats and some mashed sweet Potato. But also other safe vegetables mixes that is safe for him to have. The plan is to reduce the syringe hand feeds and get him to eat more care balls of food then hopefully get him back to eating normal food for himself. We do need a trip to the vets so I will be arranging that as soon as possible.

Well Done Blue.

After 4 weeks of eating all your Critical care twice a day you have hit your target. You have gone from a skinny 165gm to a whopping 200gms. Keep fighting little boy.
Mummy loves you so much.

Hi, My Name is Mandy and I need your help.

Can you find it in your heart to make a small donation to rescue a rescue? I have been running a Leicester based rescue for degus almost a decade now, with a little help from friends but mostly from my own pocket. These sweet, social, intelligent little animals are greatly misunderstood, and so many are discarded. Others live horrible lives. Some make it to my rescue and get another chance. Here they are loved. Cared for. Nurtured. But providing homes and care for so many little ones has depleted my resources. From my own pocket I have fed, housed, cared for and provided medical care for over 400 of these little ones, not including babies, but now I get so many that the cost is beyond my modest means. I am only one person. My objective has always been to re-home these lost little ones. Find new forever homes where they will be loved and cared for. Until they are re-homed, however, they remain in my care. They trust me and I won’t let them down. Small donations add up. And what can they do? So much! Cages. Food. Vet visits for the sick. Medicine. Treats and toys to make their lives happy. Under my care they are like family. They ARE family. When they near the end of life, I hold and cuddle them, talk softly to them, warm and cuddle them until they peacefully pass. You can’t imagine how awful I feel when one needs medical care and the funds just aren’t there. Or if I have to make the awful choice of helping one and denying another. The elderly ones retire here, knowing human kindness in their final years. That is why I have set up a gofundme, (see the “Donate” button on the home screen) so I can keep doing this, keep pursuing this passion and love I have caring for these sweet little animals. To show them the good side of humanity. I do all I can, everything I can: build cages, travels hundreds of miles to re-home them, educate folks who need to know more, clean their wounds, administer their med’s, build them toys, and even harvest fresh food and make treats for them. I have a web site but even that now suffers from lack of funds. Now, the cages have worn. The vet bills have depleted my own personal resources, and the nightmarish prospect of perhaps having to close my rescue and cease helping these precious animals looms closer. There are rescues for many species of pet out there, but degus are not as well-known. They are in comparison, new in the pet world. My little rescue has been an oasis for those unfortunates who have been abandoned and will be abandoned. It breaks my heart to think that I’d ever have to turn one away. Can you help, even in a small way? Even a small donation will help buy food and medicine. The picture you see here is of a little family – a mother and her babies. They depend on her, and she depends on me now to help care for her little ones. Is there a new forever home in their future? I offer my deepest heartfelt thanks in advance to you for considering helping my precious rescue. -Mandy
