Advice please got a little problem not sure how to solve it

newforestmum · 26-03-2007, 09:20 AM

As some of you may be aware I currently have a Herman on holiday at my place. His name is Billy but we call him 'whodeany' (excuse the spelling). He is the Herman I over wintered a couple of years ago who managed to push a pane of glass out of the grenhouse as he wanted to hibernate.

anyway his owner dropped him off while she went skiing as he had already woken up. she phoned when she got back to ask if I could keep him for another week as she wanted to buy him a lamp. she said that she would come and get him the following weekend but that was two weeks ago and I have not heard from her since. I had her phone number on a piece of paper that I seem to have lost so I have no way of contacting her. In the past she has always contacted me by telephone or she has driven to my house to drop off and pick up Billy. I only know her christian name so can not phone directory enquiries.

Really not sure what to do now!! I Suppose all I can do really is wait for her to contact me!! Problem is he was using the Ibera greenhouse during the day but I have now had to move him to an indoor rabbit cage as my Iberas need their greenhouse back. Leopards are in Redfoot enclosure until their enclosure is ready and Redfoots are indoors in tort table until weather warms up and they can start spending daytime outside.

anyone got any suggestions or ideas?

Hmmmm tricky one.

I dont suppose you have any old itemised phone bills do you that you could trace her number?

Thats a really good suggestion Glitter

Did she give any indication that she no longer wanted her tort? Poor little thing at least he is in good hands until she turns up!!!
Do you know her full name and address? if so you cuold try dircetory enquiries

Piglet check out post in 'other tort' section for a clue

Still not heard from Billy's mum though!

should I try and phone her again or leave it a couple of days first

piglet · 28-03-2007, 10:05 AM

Lisa why not leave a message saying you are stuck for room and if she doesn't contact you with a set time you will have no option but to rehome the animals , if she really cares i'm sure she will contact you straight away
