    Random Picture Thread...Post Yours :D

    I haven't posted in forever. Here are some pics of my current crew. I have 22 right now and it's been quieter incoming and some great out going. We are all helathy now. Not a sniffle in the bunch. I have 4 groups and 2 solo males. Of course Mr.Tibbs who is still nippy but doesn't bite as hard...

    Sterling's Rescue Doors *Open*!

    Wow update is overdue. I came by today to vent to a group that will be right on my side. I have had this family contact me several times. First was when the 15/16 year old daughter "Taylor" was 'sick' and had to be hospitalized for a few weeks when Norma and Rufus (her two female rats) came to...

    I've had identical litters. Flower Child's immaculate conception (somehow I assume Louie got to her as he was the only male ever out) She had all white babies. It was "Hey FC boys...enough"

    I also grossly miscounted...these are the BOYs, only 4.... And these are the girls...5 2 have a home together when weaned.

    No babies from Nan at all. She's just a round girl. Babes are almost 2 weeks...eyes are popping and they are on the move. We move to small cage Thursday. The tank is getting a bit crowded now.

    Sterling's Rescue Doors *Open*!

    Still no babies from Nan...but she was in a frenzy last night so I brought her out and set her up her own space. No babies this morning and she happily went back with Mama and the bubs. I'm still watching. I just moved and have no clue where my scale is so right now we're waiting again. My...

    So we got our hands on some rats from animal aid in London. I suspected pregnancy from the older lady.... Then 2 days ago...I found babies... But the mom was not who I thought....she was a much smaller, 4-5 month old female. She had 9...she took a bit to get it but thankfully she trusts me and...

    Pet store supply of animals dwindling!!!

    Yah the last few to come out of there were from Animal Aid an hour away. Unfortunately the way they processed adoptions I confirmed she was sold to a snake owner while very pregnant. I was pissed. Sold alone to a sketchy person while clearly pregnant

    Pet store supply of animals dwindling!!!

    So I have noticed here in town...a significant drop in Petsmarts live animal stock...rats and gerbils in particular. This is no sign of the pet population dwindling....oh no... WE HAVE STARTED IT!!!!! People are becoming aware to the idea of adoption of all pets. No matter the size this is an...

    Babies In Need of Homes in Michigan

    They are definitely becoming individuals. I can tell them apart just by movement now. Piper is my outgoing girl. Voss is usually close behind but never in a hurry to get up and Chapman is they shy one when anyone else is around but is there when it's just us. She comes right out and sneaks into...

    intact males and females LOL

    I have them divided in one room. Just ensure cages are inspected daily and no possibility of escape and during free play they are kept from being able to actually contact the opposite gender.

    Our new addition Juno. She's tiny and looks like an egg lol

    Sterling's Rescue Doors *Open*!

    She is definitely on pregnancy watch. Her belly is awefully pudgey and I know she isn't really over eating or anything. Her nipples seem a tad engorged so we will have a close eye on her. I'm thinking either she had a litter before ending up outside that had weaned. Or she is about 1.5-2 weeks...

    So very interesting week so far. I received a call yesterday morning about a rat on the loose. A business had spotted a little white rat on their property. The owner Sam, feeds the squirrels and Chipmunks outside every morning and she made her way over. She had first been spotted 2 yards over...

    I was in awe when he did it in front of me. Was right out the top wires. Just squeezed until he popped through.
