Zezu's Story

Zezu the gerbil was relinquished because of housing issues. He unfortunately has bitten us a few times so we do hands-free handling with a plastic container when we change his cage. He is a delightful and round boy, he just has some issues to work out. He also has a small mass on his nose but the vet doesn't think it is an issue at this time, nor does she think it is in a great spot for removal.https://www.lostwoodsas.com/adoption-application

Lost Woods Animal Sanctuary's Adoption Policy

Adopters first fill out an application on our website, which asks about the adopter's household, how they plan on housing their new pet and what they plan on feeding. Because exotics have very species-specific housing and dietary needs, we have a director reach out to each adopter to discuss proper housing, diet and husbandry, as well as lifespan and handling. Adopters can choose to schedule a meet-and-greet with the animal or adopt without a meet. We need to receive a picture of the enclosure when it is ready, and when the enclosure and the adopter are ready, we schedule the adoption. Our adoption fees are set to be comparable to the animal's price at a pet store. Adopters sign a contract certifying that if they can no longer care for the animal, they must return them to Lost Woods. When adopting bonded pairs/groups, each bondmate is half fee. Fees: Rabbit, chinchilla, or tortoise $100 Bearded dragon or degu $50 Guinea pig $40 pair $30 single Leopard gecko $30 Rat, hamster, or gerbil $20 Mouse $15
