The precocious ones are learning to use (and fight over) the water bottle. Unsure which of these behaviors is more essential to rat development, as they will grow up to spend far more time fighting over water bottles than drinking from them.

I like being a rat mom but I’m so glad I’m not an actual rat mom. This sweetie is a champ who is trying to pick up the slack for all of them. She got a special snack!

Clearly that bowl jumped up and attacked him, the evidence is all over.

So there is a rescue case in NY with hundreds of pet rats, maybe 1000, not accounting for pregnant ones. Obviously we are trying to help as much as we can. So I have been driving around grabbing cheap cages from marketplace.

Merry Pig-mas from all of us at Helping All Little Things!

Happy Hannukah from all of us at Helping All Little Things.

They’re named for two incredible women who fought for workers’ rights: Gladys Marín, a Chilean teacher and union leader who stood up to dictatorship, and Dolores Huerta, co-founder of the United Farm Workers and the woman behind “Sí, se puede!”

We are pretty sure the babies are both girls, so I’ve continued the naming theme of their mom & aunties.

✨ Welcome Luisa’s babies — Gladys (black) and Dolores! (brown)✨

Our girl Luisa surprised us with two beautiful baby girls, and now they have names to match their strong little spirits. 💪

We have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of Luisa’s babies, and here they are!

Why Budgeting is Important | Helping All Little Things When people imagine running an animal rescue, they picture cuddles, cute faces, and happy adoptions. What they don’t always see is the spreadsheet behind the scenes.

Running a rescue means cuddles & compassion — but also spreadsheets & strategy. Our latest post pulls back the curtain on why budgeting is a form of care, and what every rescue should have in place before an emergency strikes.

👉 See behind the scenes

We have a new series of resources, "So You Want to Run A Rescue," spotlighting a variety of important considerations when running a rescue. Today's post is about budgeting!

💡 “Do you have a plan for when things go sideways?”

😆😆 do you think they wonder why such stupid lumbering giants can access the fridge when they, clearly the superior beings, cannot?

I think guinea pigs always sound like little gossips when they’re chattering. What do you think your piggies gossip about? What do they say about you?

Help your pets beat the heat! 🌬️ Keep Their Space Shaded and Ventilated 🌬️ Close curtains or blinds during peak sun. 🌬️ Use fans to circulate air (never blow directly on the animal). 🌬️ Avoid placing enclosures near windows. 🧊 Offer Frozen Water Bottles or Tiles 🧊 Wrap frozen water bottles in a sock or cloth and place near their hideout. 🧊 Use chilled ceramic tiles, bricks, or marble slabs as cool surfaces to lie on. 💧 Ensure Fresh, Cool Water Is Always Available 💧 Change water often to keep it cool. 💧 Add a few ice cubes to water bottles or bowls (if they don’t discourage drinking). 🚙 Don’t transport animals during the hottest part of the day. ❄️ Use Cooling Pads (with Supervision) ❄️ Pet-safe gel pads or freezer packs can help — just make sure they can’t chew them. 💡 Keeping the lights off may make it feel cooler and encourage your pets to rest.

Many parts of the world are experiencing a heat wave - here are our tips for keeping your small pets cool in the summer! 🧊🐹😎

Hello from Helping All Little Things | Helping All Little Things Description will go into a meta tag in <head />

I think we are going to wind up needing more x rays than anticipated. If you can help us with anything towards what looks to be some extensive vet care, please see our website for way to help. helpingalllittlethings.org Our vet visit is Tuesday and we aren't even close to what we need.

Hips that are not even a little right. They are bone thin and some hurt just by being touched. For now, I'm just going to set them up in their freshly made cage(s) with cozy beds and fresh food and hay, give them some pain meds and antibiotics and just love them as much as I can.

There are broken toes, swollen limbs, bite marks, some from head to toe, in their ears, ripped ears. It's bite marks on top of bite marks on top of scar tissue from old bite marks. Eye injuries. When I palpated their bellies, 2 of them definitely have abnormal things going inside.

Danni here. I'm going to photo dump all the pictures of the boys that I took. I don't have the heart to organize & describe the terrible things I'm seeing right now. As a rescuer, I see some pretty messed up things on a fairly regular basis but only 2 other cases have made me this emotional before.
