Well I decided to get a few pics of the new kids yesterday and thought i'd post them up.
They are both doing very well. Keika is a little doll. I call her my princess and she loves it. Mushu is now in with Yoshi (long story.. I will explain in a little) and doing well. I had a feeling they would.. they seem to be a lot alike.
Mushu with his short little whiskers.
So on to why Yoshi and Mushu are together so soon.. as some of you are aware.. with the crazy heat were having lately.. our basement got to record highs at 76 degrees and rising and this was at around 9 after it starts getting dark. The finished section of the basement where everyone (except these 2) is located in has one small typical tiny basement window. I don't believe a window unit would fit but now i'm going to be trying it out this weekend.. and no local stores seem to carry the lower priced portable AC units. I haven't needed anything but the dehumidifier since we moved in the house and the basement is always a good 10 degrees cooler then the rest of the house so i never needed an air conditioner.
I feel so horrible not to have an easier back up plan but I had to break down the FN142's in to 141's and move them up to our master bedroom on the top floor where Mushu and Keika have been. I was recommended that it would be better to break their quarantine early then having an overheating chin, which I completely agree with.
So everyone was moved up stairs. At the same time, I figured i'd cut down on the amount of cages in the room by just putting Mushu and Yoshi together earlier then I planned now that their quarantine has already ended early. Thank god everything went smoothly! It was an instant bond for them and since i sleep in the room, it made it alot easier to keep an eye on them throughout the night for any issues. I woke up this morning and they were both cuddling in the hidey house so day 2 has also been successful.
Earlier today the basement stayed at 77 so the chins will remain in the bedroom until it gets cooler or i can get some sort of AC unit down there. I almost picked up a portable one off craigslist but after talking back and forth and telling her how much i needed it and trying over and over to come get it, her husband sold it today! So i'm back on the hunt and i will be having the fiance see if he can get a window unit in the basement window. I feel like such a horrible mom.
