(Zak, Emma, Olivia, Desdemona, Mallory, & Simon)
These babies were victims of a broken home and have been here since June of 2006.
Mallory and Desdemona are adrenal and on lupron. Mallory had surgery on her leg several months ago.
Olivia and Desdemona are only about three. Zak, Mallory, and Emma are oldies but goodies.
Olivia is deaf, but it sure doesn`t hamper her in any way. She is the queen of "Steal everyone else`s treats & RUN!" The whole group is bonded and very wonderful with company.
More later.

UPDATE: January 4th, 2008
Zak has not been well for several days. When we went to the vet for xrays & an exam, we realized he was in real trouble...Full of cancer. He was very uncomfortable--and there was no way out....
The necropsy was shocking. He was full of nodules--as many as 15 or so---Cancer EVERYWHERE. Some were the size of large peas. Dr. Katie was surprised he had done so well, up to this time.
After losing Simon (the other boy in this group) last year, Zak was the only boy left in this group.
The former parents will attend the visitation separately, but both will be attending. They both did love him dearly...
More later.

UPDATE: May 13th, 2008
Mallory & Emma are both insulinomic now, & require meds twice daily. Emma recently had her 6th birthday! Both girls are a bit fragile, but are still enjoying life to the fullest.
Mallory had another lupron shot in February, and is doing well.
Desdemona went into remission & has remained just fine, for the time being.
The group has been running with several other groups, for several months. One day, a few months ago, Dallas (a foster ferret who has returned home) decided to go back to the Karagas cage, when the group was through playing. He has remained with them, ever since.
The girls have missed having a guy around, and he really enjoys their attention! Often, the whole group can be found, snuggling in one hammy! They have become very bonded.
More later!
