Meet Sydney! (AKA Squidward. Don’t ask, long story)

Squid is our lead technician’s beardie. He loves coming to the clinic so much that he will occasionally go on hunger strikes until his momma brings him in. As soon as he gets here, he is as happy as can be!

We think he fakes sick just so he can hang out with his favorite person, our CSR Natasha. When he met her, it was love at first sight. His favorite hobby is climbing to the top of her head, as it appears to be the perfect vantage point to sit and judge the rest of us.

Below he is pictured having a dance party with our medical director, Dr. Shuck to the tune of “My Dragon Pal and Me.”

Update on Eggroll and her biggest fan! Our local delivery driver finally got to meet Eggroll in person!
Due to hamsters’ reclusive and nocturnal nature (as well as her very detailed enclosure) Chester had never actually been able to physically see her. We managed to set up a smaller enclosure for her and surprised him!
While we had her out, we did a weigh in. Her weight loss journey has been truly miraculous. She came in at 66g, and she is now 44g. She’s finally reached a healthy weight!

(Tldr: hamster does the biggest loser challenge, wins, UPS man falls in love)

Just in case you need some wholesome news, we’d like you to meet Eggroll. If you’ve been in recently, you’ve seen her enclosure! She came in to our clinic a month or two ago, morbidly obese. She had a tumor that needed to be removed, and it wasn’t feasible for the pet store she came from to pay for surgery. So our technician Jules rose to the challenge!

Eggroll’s surgery went perfectly. Jules created a gorgeous fairy themed home for her, got her on a healthy diet, and her weight loss journey has been miraculous.

Pictured below is a before photo, an after photo (we caught her during her evening workout. She’s decided to be a fitness influencer.) and a picture with her biggest fan. Our local delivery driver is absolutely enamored with Eggroll and regales stories about her to his wife as soon as he gets home every day.

Did you know that peacock feathers turn red when they’re wet?
This is due to a phenomenon related to the structure of the feathers and the way light refracts off of them.

Fun facts aside, we love our clients and their willingness to go above and beyond for their pets. A prime example of this is General Sherman (fondly referred to as “Kaw”) and his dad. Kaw has been seen routinely over the past few months by our avian specialist during an arduous recovery. We love these before and after shots of him enjoying a bath in the rain, previous to his accident. His gofundme is in the link below!

We learned from a feature on the news that our patient, Roadblock, (the 95lb sulcata tortoise) recently celebrated his 25th birthday. Naturally, when he came in for his appointment we just had to throw him a (slightly belated) birthday party!
If you have any questions about how to keep a tortoise of any size happy and healthy give us a ring!
