Look at these absolutely stunning snakes!
The ball python on the left is about 14 years old and would love to find a nice home to spend her golden years.
The red tail boa on the right is about 4 years old. She can be a bit enthusiastic and has nipped before so we recommend an adult only home for her.
Please message us if you are interested in giving either snake a home.

This is Criss Cross! He's a crossbeak cornish cross that is sweet as pie. We are home to over a dozen unwanted roosters 🐓

⚠️Guinea pig crisis⚠️
Every single day multiple times a day we are getting requests to help guinea pigs in need and we are way beyond the point of being able to keep up. For each guinea pig we are able to help there are 10 more waiting. It genuinely feels like we are trying to empty the ocean with a spoon and its incredibly disheartening. We are unable to help until we get some of our current residents into foster or adoptive homes. Many of them have been waiting at our rescue since March/February. Every rescue is in crisis. It feels like we are screaming into the void for someone to care. PLEASE stop buying guinea pigs at pet stores who only care about $$. Please help us by sharing, liking, & commenting. Please message us if you can foster or adopt guinea pigs!

All these animals have been waiting at our rescue for over 4 months or longer. Two of three pairs of guinea pigs were adopted and then promptly returned by no fault of their own, as were the rats. We would really love to see our longest residents finally get the forever homes they deserve. Please share!

Three sweet and beautiful bonded ferrets need a new home together. They are all around 5 years old. There are 2 girls and 1 boy, they are absolute angels and would make a great addition to any ferret loving families.
Please message us to begin the adoption process.

Would anyone be willing to give a ferret with a disability a loving home? Slinky is 4 years old and has lived with a spinal cord injury for the last 3 years & as a result he drags his hind legs.

Slinky's bonded partner passed away recently so we are looking to match him with a family that already has at least one ferret and is able to accommodate Slinky's special needs. Previous adopters of ours or special needs ferret experience is preferred.

Please message us to help Slinky!

Currently at our rescue and in need of new homes:

1. Sweet female guinea pig that came in alone, gets along with other guinea pigs. Beautiful orange and brown fur with unique texture.

2. Princess- sweet but shy girl under 1 year, gets along great with other guinea pigs. "Tiktok famous" featured in a video with 1.5 million views 🤣

3. Handsome and chatty bonded pair of parakeets under 1 year old. Come with nice large flight cage.

4. Twix- best bunny ever! He's litter trained and well mannered, loves to interact. Like most bunnies he is not a fan of being held but loves to be pet. Twix is an indoor only bunny used to the spoiled life!

Please message us to adopt!

Two budgies are in need of a new home- they come with a nice sized cage and are happy, chatty little birds. Please consider rescuing your next pet as opposed to going to a pet store- this applies for all animals even exotics!

Bearded dragon in rough shape found in North Cape May today. Most likely dumped but if this is your escaped pet please message us!
Update: owner located! Yay!!

Received this comment the other day- we are PROUD to be unlike breeders and pets stores. Our process may not be like a pet store, you don't get to just walk in with a couple bucks and take an animal home. We actually care about where our animals are going to and we will take multiple measures to ensure they're getting the best home. And that is exactly why people choose to adopt with us instead 😀
We have several guinea pigs, rats, bearded dragons, sugar gliders, and more looking for new homes. Please message us to start the process. Click this link for other ways to support our rescue ❤️

Shame on you
Prioritizing money as usual
No regard for the 7 day stray hold you are legally obligated to when a lost pet is found
Less than 24 hours they sold that ferret for a quick buck

Ferret is now home with owner

Did anyone adopt a ferret between yesterday and this morning from NJ Exotic Pets in Elmwood Park?

I have a friend who's ferret accidentally got out and their neighbor brought the ferret to NJ Exotics instead of asking around the neighborhood if anyone lost a pet. NJ Exotics said that the ferret was adopted out between last night and this morning. My friend is willing to buy back her ferret from whomever adopted him because she and her kids miss him so much.

Here's the photo she gave of her furbaby

Waiting for town and contact info
