Today Mom remembered why she chose to go back to work at a pet store. Watching a pet go home with a good family is always rewarding, but then there are those special pets who you end up really caring about. Daisy was one of those. She was abandoned at the front door of Petco over the summer, mistakenly put on our sales floor, then sold as a feeder two or three times. Each time she was returned because she injured the snake she was meant to feed (one of the many dangers of live feeding). As if this wasn't enough, after she was returned she was put back on the sales floor, put in with two male rats and got pregnant. She birthed eleven healthy babies. Most of the babies have good homes, including one with us. The happy ending? Today, Daisy went home with her new family and is going to have two new friends along with a really great mom and dad. We we told she'd be in to visit often. That's one lucky rat!
