Looks like five black hooded rats and six pink-eyed whites. Good guess on what dad was...

Edith's Story

So, Edith (on the left) was rescued on March 10th. An...interesting...man bought her from the pet store a few days previous and decided to return her. So, I gave her a new home rather than return her to pet store life.

So, on the 23rd, we noticed that Edith was looking a bit rounder than is normal.

...and on the 27th, it becomes clear why. Quite odd someone would buy a rat, introduce it to a male, then return it. But whatever, his loss.

So, five weeks from now and we'll have some youngsters (and Edith) available! Stay tuned.

New Adoptables

Take a look through our Adoptable Rats tab, eight new rats have been added. Four of them are boys, Hank, Mack, Crockett & Tubbs. Four of them are girls, Toy, Lola, Edith & Sherry.

I've noticed we have adopted out quite a lot more girls than boys so I'd like to take a moment and promote them as it limits our ability to rescue additional boys. Typical boy rats are much more interested in humans than the typical girl rat. They are much more likely to sit still and enjoy being petted, fall asleep on you, snuggle with you, and so on. Most of our boys are right behind my computer chair and I'll often hear bruxing behind me with one of our boys saying, "Gosh I really like being so close to you, I'm a happy rat" as I turn around and see them looking at me from a corner. Yes, boys are physically larger. Yes, they have danglers. I still really think you'll make an excellent choice by choosing a pair. Here's a boy now, hoping to meet you! (Human not included.)

Thanks much to Laurie Smail for coming over to visit the rats and help clean cages! She also got to watch us work on introductions with Hank/Mack and Crockett/Tubbs which went well.

The last two boy mice were adopted today!



I'll be disabling the Adoptable Mice tab for now, I don't really plan to bring any more in but if a sick or pregnant one appears we will see. For now it's great to have two less cages to clean twice a week.
