Countdown

So it's just 15 days till Edmund, Ebony, Feather and Fortinbras join my menagerie. I'm rather excited, I've missed my babies so much and it'll be lovely to hear wheeking again.

So in other news today I finally got my plasti-dip. I've had it on order for months now and it finally turned up. A few months ago I was able to purchase buccal pad separators and dental rasps however they are the old style ones with sharp piece sin the cheek depressor bit. There's been some horror stories about how when this sort is used incorrectly it can rip and animals cheeks to pieces leading to abscesses and often death from the infection. Anyway if you coat the ends in plasti-dip it makes them totally safe and easy to use. Plasti-dip is inert liquid latex that dries to a strong inert rubber. So since it's finally arrived I can finally fix the seperators so I then have a kit for checking cavies teeth. The other use is also you can use the seperators when an animals choking to remove the food etc that they're choking on. I've lost animals to both malocclusion and choking so it'll be great to have a way to prevent/treat both.

Other than that I had my law exam today, which sucked but now I just have one last exam to go and then we pack everything up and move the menagerie to Armidale. The heat here has been awful, the rabbit's gotten heat stroke twice already and needs constant attention to get him through days over 35 degrees so I'm sure he'll appreciate the move to a cooler climate.
