have you rescued an animal?

I guess you could say little Puck was a rescue, though it was kind of our fault he needed rescuing...
When we first bought him, we didnt really know that much about caring for an African Pygmy Hedgehog.
I asked the people at the pet store if i needed to know any special care instructions, and they said no, they only told me what to feed him, etc...
What they didnt tell me is that if hedgies arent kept very warm, they go into unnatural hibernation resulting in death if not quickly treated.
Well, we live in eastern Canada, and it tends to be quite cold for half the year.
We werent the only ones who weren't told this, because every hedgie from pucks litter was returned exept our little guy, because they all didnt know what was wrong when the hedgies stopped eating and moving around, and we were the only ones willing to put in the extra effort of nursing him back to health (we also got him a great big heating pad for his tank)
He quickly recovered and now hes a very healthy, extremely adorable addition to our family, and we love him lots.
