Recently there was a large seizure of small animals in the Dallas area. This seizure included 726 hedgehogs, 72 chinchillas, 22 ferrets, 6 pet rats, and 41 prairie dogs among other animals such as reptiles and amphibians. There were around 30,000 small animals altogether. The small mammals are in need of warm items to put in the cages. The Hedgies need something called hedgie hats and the ferret, chinchillas and rats need hammocks. The prairie dogs are probably headed to a release into a secure wild habitat. If you are interested in making any of the hedgie hats or hammocks please e-mail me and I will get you the patterns etc. Also small fleece blankets are needed. These are just small squares of fleece hemmed on the edges. Anything of these that you could make and donate would be appreciated.

I can make some hedgie hats. I also have some pink fleece I was just wondering what to do with...Problem solved! The hedgies can have it. Should be able to make a fair number of blankies, or I could just send the large pieces and you all can turn them into blankies or hammocks...Email me! :)

Debbie,
I can try to do that today or tomorrow. Mine prints a little funny- but the pattern is symettrical, so it should be easy to fix. Unless someone else has a better plan!
I have your address.

The Hedgie Hats probably are the most needed. After that blankets are good because they can be turned into hammocks if need be, then sleeping bags. One of the Hedgie ladies stopped by two days ago and was very grateful for the Hedgie Hats she received. She has taken in 16 Hedgies 8 girls and 8 boys. She already had two of her own. All of your efforts have been greatly appreciated.

Thank you Debbie and Beth, they will be greatly appreciated. They are being disbursed to foster and adoptive homes now. Getting them all set up with cages, blankets, hammocks etc. has been a lot of work and is still ongoing. Thank you so much for your time it is very much appreciated. It will be awhile before they all make it into adoptive homes. Once again thank you.

I finally got time in my studio... made 4 blankets and 3 hedgie hats... hoping to send them out today! (have to walk to the post office, the only car at my disposal is not good on snowy roads, and the roads here are not yet fully cleared, we had about 3 feet within one week, so it may not be till tomorrow, depending on how my day goes...)
