Long time, no post! I promise we are still up and operational. My personal job has just been kicking my butt lately. Spring/Summer is our busiest time of year so I do apologize for being quiet!
Little update for this little rescue: we found our third member, are working on finishing up our bylaws and will have the proper paperwork filed by the end of the week to be OFFICIALLY non profit 🤩

We also found a new vet finally! I’ve been bouncing around to a few different ones since we had to stop going to our previous one due to them switching to corporate. I’m so excited to keep the dream alive and grow this little operation.
That’s all for now!
Enjoy this photo of one of our newest members, Ash; the roborovski hamster. 🐹

Just over 2 weeks worth of food for 11 sugar gliders 🩵

I was freezing in ice cube trays, but found measuring out daily portions in these 8oz containers and thawing one big portion the night before has worked soooo much better. Way more convenient!

In case we have any followers that would like to contribute but aren’t sure exactly what we need the most:
We just added these to our Amazon wish list! We could really use a couple more for the newer leopard geckos humid hides that are coming out of quarantine. 🩵

Pancake, now Waffle (House), found his forever home today! We are super excited to see him find his special person 🩵

We still have one more baby corn snake, two juvenile corn snakes, and one leopard gecko available. We will also have a bearded dragon and one more leopard gecko soon.
We appreciate the folks who choose adoption beyond measure!🦎 🐍

I guess I need to start posting my feed and vet bills for the people who think I’m making any kind of profit off of this 😅
Not to mention all the money spent on enclosures and enrichment.

Yes, we charge a very small adoption fee; which goes into a separate account we pull from to pay for food, vet visits and anything else for the animals. I have my own big kid job to pay for my own things + supplement HEaRT. This is and has always has been a passion of mine that I have finally been able to make a reality. That’s it.

Thanks for reading 🩵

I can’t add photos and videos to the same post for some weird reason, but I just have to show off how absolutely adorable these fellas are!

Did you know we accept more than just your typical small critters?!
We brought these two in from someone who had gotten them for their kiddos and quickly realized they were in a bit over their heads. Hermit crabs need a lot more than most pet store employees will recommend. Check out the before and after and enjoy their awesome glow up! 🐚 🩵

*this is only the start, we will be adding more enrichment as we are able to!

These sweet little things have successfully taken three meals now and are officially adoptable! This little one is the last of the three that hasn’t already been claimed. Send us a message for information on adopting this little cutie!🩵🐍

*No guarantee on gender, the cup is dirty because as you can see from that thick mid section we just scarfed down our third meal at HEaRT!
