Me and Fumblesquid are doing an auction on Facebook for a recently rescued rat named Elyse who has a mammary tumor.
Originally we thought why should we do this for one rat, when there are so many rats in rescues needing help? but then we realized, rescues may have many rats but they all do the same thing, help each and every rat as much as they can.
Elyse is just one of many rats in need. she deserves a chance just as much as any other rat. Right?
Elyse is now in her 4th but final home. She's about 18 mos old, a pretty smeeze girl who acts much younger than her estimated age. She's confident, super kissy and very active. And all around wonderful girl.
But she's got a tumor that will surely cut her life short if it's allowed to continue to grow.
Purely by chance I found a vet who is willing to do the tumor removal AND a spay for just $125 plus the cost of the pre surgical exam and meds- so roughly $200 for two surgeries (on the same day)
we (me and fumblesquid) got together, secured some donations, furiously made some stuff and put up an auction on FaceBook here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=oa.500619036770254&type=1
some items dont have any bids yet, others only a few bids.
check them out and see if there's anything you're interested in.
We have generous donations from Joanne and her sister Nicole - a cozy boat and warmer and pop up tent!! three hammocks from Melissa of the Rat Stash, hammocks from Fumbles Fuzz beds https://www.etsy.com/shop/FumblesFuzzBeds?ref=l2-shopheader-name
and some things I"ve made,
more things added daily as I try to find more things to sell
here's a sample of that's up for auction
Piddle Pad for Guinea pigs, rats or rabbits, etc.This pad is double fleece (same print on both sides) w/ a layer of terry cloth sandwiched in between. its frame stitched to keep it the layers from shifting. at a big 17 by 26 size, it can be used under your piggies furing "lap time" or set in their favorite corner in their cage to soak up excess piddles. I use these for extra padding in my rat cages. This size fits some of the smaller "hospital" cages that are used for rats.
Rainbow chevron triple bunk bed & a clam shell hammock (not shown) in all fleece.
Donated by Joanne Cote Bouchard and Nicole Wildeman it's the one, the only, COZY BOAT! a wildly popular original design. CozyBoat 18" x 13" Small attached cube: 10" x 7" x 5" Fleece on Fleece, all print. Cube has holes on all side. Joanne has generously offered to cover shipping within the US & Canada.
Christmas In July squashed square hammock. Measures a base of 9x9 inches, and is 5 inches tall. Features quilting to keep it together when the rats chew it. It has an entrance on each side. Donated by Fumbles Fuzz Beds
Caterpillar tube. This one is experimental. Measures 6 inches in diameter and is 14 inches long. Features two entrances and batting to help its shape.Donated by Fumbles Fuzz Beds
DIY HAMMOCKS smile emoticon For those of you who like to make your own hammocks, here is a collection of large fleece remnants in 7 different colors (approx 1/4yd each or more) plus four yards of flannel prints: frogs, bright stripes, forest animals & the adorable piRATes print from Joanns that is hard to find. This will ship in an XL poly mailer, as fleece is bulky & does not fit well in flat rate boxes. It will ship via standard post which is $17 but you have the option to upgrade to Priority for $5 more (ships to US addresses only, sorry it exceeds the wt limit for first class to Canada) See comments for better photos of the flannel prints. I estimate you can make over 20 medium (11by13) flat hammocks with this fabric. (donated by me)
Donated by Melissa Kress of The Rat Stash, the Ratty Tatty can be hung several different ways and is a much loved hammock.The one you are bidding one will be made in all fleece in the print shown in the photo below.
Melissa has generously offered to pay the shipping world wide for the winning bidder!!!
