2 Year old Adoption

Toria · 07-14-2009, 01:32 PM

So i went to P@H about 2 weeks ago and in the adoption there was this little robo called Leo and he was 2 years old. His owners had bought him along with rabbits and gerbils etc because they couldn't look after them anymore. He was so pretty looking. A real old man

I wanted him but me and my boyfriend decided against it because we already have 5 hamster 4 being robos and the adoption pets always go very quick. Anyway he was still there today.

I'm guessing no one wanted him because of his age.He also has a bit of a limp and red feet, so we have to keep an eye on that. P@H said they would treat him if it gets worse. So we took him home

I know he might not live long, but i want the rest of his life to be full of love and happiness.

He's lovely and i just wanted to introduce you to him. I will post pictures once he is settled in. He looks alot older than my girls and had balding patches behind his ears

so yeah welcome Leo

Hi Toria

I think that was a really nice thing to do. As you say, he may not live much longer, and it will be upsetting when he does leave you, but however long you have with him will be very beneficial and i know that he will be very happy to spend his last few months in a nice loving home

and very grateful that you gave him the chance to be loved by you.

He might surprise you and live on for another year or more! which would just make his time with you extra special

I really hope he copes well with old age - his general appearance that you have described sounds very normal for an aging robo so i wouldnt worry about him too much, just give him lots of love and attention and a good healthy diet to keep in the best shape possible

Can't wait to see pics

Thank you

I will differently give him lots of love and care. Got him out last night. Not very tame at all, but we did mange to hold him for a while, although he went down the back of the sofa

I hope he does surprise and live for another year. Ether way i'll make the time we have with him special.

he's lovely! I've noticed a lot of robos in the p@h adoption have sore-looking feet. I think it's because they like to recommend the mickey max for robos and that has that wire level.
