Meet the family

Then Came Bear, Little Otter and Little Anemone

After Bubble and Pea, three more little ones joined our family. Each one taught us something different about care.

Golden Hamster

She was a golden hamster we brought home from a pet shop—tiny and round like a little black sesame rice ball, full of energy and always running around.

Her daily meals included Bubble & Pea hay powder mixed with boiled meat and fish. Throughout her life, her teeth never became overgrown, and she had no major health problems.

In the end, she passed away suddenly from a severe uterine infection that led to multiple organ failure.

Little Otter

Guinea Pig
Rescued from a breeding facility

A guinea pig rescued from a breeding facility. Even at about one year old, he weighed only 500–600 g and could never gain weight no matter how much he ate. He suffered from recurring tooth fractures, and after the second break, he stopped eating and drinking entirely—his condition was critical.

At that time, we syringe-fed him with our Vitality Support Hay Powder, combined with laser therapy and pain medication. Gradually, his condition stabilized, but due to slow tooth regrowth, his chewing muscles began to atrophy and his jaw joint gradually became unstable and partially dislocated. Whenever he felt even slight discomfort, he would refuse to eat.

We incorporated daily massages and chewing exercises, trying different feeding methods to help him regain the will to eat hay. After we moved to a quieter community in Taichung in late 2024, his health improved dramatically—his weight increased to over 900 g. It clearly showed how much the environment can affect a guinea pig’s well-being.

We originally wanted to find a companion for Little Otter and came across her adoption post on Facebook. We brought her home right away. At the time, she was already five years old and in poor health—with joint deformities, overgrown teeth, uterine swelling, hematuria, an enlarged heart, and fluid accumulation in her abdomen. She had no medical history on record, so we could only care for her step by step, learning what worked best for her along the way.

Over the next six months, she suffered from recurring ear infections, hypoglycemia, and seizures, requiring frequent veterinary visits, sometimes every week. Despite everything, she always showed great resilience and spirit.

In the end, she passed away from sudden heart failure following a neurological episode. But during her final months, she enjoyed plenty of delicious food and was surrounded by love and gentle care. We hope she knew how deeply she was loved.
