I'm in Colwood, if you need an emergency foster home for them let me know!

I'm going to give things a day or two to calm down, see what my housemates are like once it's less of a thing, but I might have to take you up on that :)
I am in the Comox Valley, though, so I'm a good two and a half hour drive away - will that pose a problem?
 
Are you sure they are wild because wild rats (and some pet rats) are agouti coloured.
Black rats (at least around here) are not wild, they are pets that someone abandoned outside to die.

Have you foud the missing 3 babies yet?

Not a problem at all, it's a lovely drive! Just let me know if you need me!
 
I was told that there is an SPCA ARC on the island that might be able to provide info
but wildlife places often use baby rodents as food for other animals

If the mom was a live and nursing 5 or 5 1/2 weaks old the boys would be removed and at 6 weeks the girls. It looked like there eyes were open but there still small I'd say that look around 3 to 4 weeks old.
