Welcome, fellow Floridian!!! :) Dunedin, FL here ;)

I am so grateful to the Rat Shack for giving these rats a real chance at having wonderful lives. Thank you.

It's nice to see that some of the other members here are vegan as well. This year will be my 15th year of being vegan. My family was vegan (except for me) as I grew up, but I stopped eating meat at 18 and went vegan at 21. My dad called me after delivering empty egg cartons at a chicken farm...

I am so sorry for your loss, lilspaz68. Shade was a very special rat, and her second lease on life was one that she obviously cherished. She will be missed. (Hugs)

why have kids at all when you can have rats instead?

I was just browsing Mainely Rat Rescue, and thought some of you would like updates on the ongoing story of these ratties who were rescued by the good people of the Rat Shack and delivered safely into the loving care of Mainely Rat Rescue. Here are links to the girl and boy rats. Some are still...

any updates?

Wow, those rats are so lucky you came along. Not many people could adopt a colony! These girls have the best chance of a happy life now that they are with you. They are all so adorable! Congratulations on your new 'horde' :)

Booster is rat-approved for yumminess. I give it to my girls daily. They like it. It seems to make the other supplements that I give them more appealing. I use a toothpick to extract the stuff from the bottle, since it is solid at room temperature. It is basically vegetable fat - and fat is...

I am so sorry for the sudden loss of your special rat Biscuit. He will be missed. (Hugs)

I am so sorry for your loss. Java was an exceptional rat. He will be missed.

You would have thought that the rat fetuses would have shown up clearly in the xray.

I am so sorry to hear about sweet little Peony. She will be missed. (Hugs)

I am so sorry about Leila. It is so hard to lose a friend. (Hugs)

I am a transplant from Floridarat.com . Lilspaz68 posts there and when she mentioned the Rat Shack, I came to check it out. I like the members here so much, and I also am very impressed with the 'rescue-centric' focus of the Rat Shack Forum. (Floridarat.com seems to be a site for rat breeders...

About a month ago, my sweet rat Gracie passed away. Although Gracie wasn't the 'alpha' rat, she did make fast friends with my newest addition, a younger female, "Lilly". My alpha rat, Molly, gave Lilly a hard time when she came to live with us in March, but Gracie befriended Lilly...

Maserati was a truly handsome rat. He will be missed. (Hugs)

I am so sorry for your loss. Rita was a beautiful rat, and I am sure that she has no regrets. It is never easy to lose a friend. Thanks for caring about older, vulnerable rats that especially need a caring, special-needs home. (Hugs)

You have $CAD on the Paypal Donation Page listed there twice... but I think that the first $CAD on the donation page drop-down list is actually supposed to read $USD... Despite the slight technical difficulty, I went ahead and made a small donation - the ratshackforum deserves our support!

Those rats (and those that come after them) will get to appreciate the spacious and luxury accommodations every day as they wait for their forever homes. I absolutely love the dedication placards - what a nice, thoughtful touch. The SPCA staffers and potential new rat adopters may not have...
