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...

Asking for a friend of mine...thought maybe someone here knows... Is there anyone who has a ferret rescue near Sarnia Ontario area?

So...I have been facebooking my near daily goings on with my crazy mischief of 49 rats (some rescued adoptables and some are lifers) So this morning I walked downstairs around 7am. Usually that early I would do what needs to be done and go back to bed. But this morning something compelled me to...

Not sure if this has been posted yet. But saw it on fb. Anyone able to help? They have transport teams they just need places to take them https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10154229159848594&id=545618593

Claiming to have pure line "high end" variations "Wicked Rattery" has been mentioned to me several times now. And more recently from a concerned rat owner. I have a side source watching her and hopefully going in to see what is happening. Heather Bennet is her name. She is awfully full of...

I could say so much about this sweet old man. When I got him he was not so sweet. I made a swap with MinnieFlower back in August of 2014. He came to me with his buddy Wally the nakie. Wally passed last fall when we had a virus go through. Yoshi has survived this virus twice here. He was not a...

Peacefully in their sleep together, Odin and Porter at the ripe ages of 2.4 and 2.7, passed away Thursday night. Odin had been battling old age problems for a number of months prior. Thankfully I was able to use that time to spoil him rotten and get as many snuggles and kisses as he had energy...

Another hoarding situation...posted from Facebook East Bay Rats Need Your Help Yesterday at 7:29pm North Star Rescue is undertaking another large case of rats in a hoarding situation. The owner of the rats took them from a severe neglect situation, but was unable to contain the rats and they...

So...while doing laundry today I happened to be going through all my sorting bins and in my sock bin I see these four wee baby rats (wild ones) They are skin and bone...look 4-6 weeks old. I have a live trap out in case momma comes back. But they look like they've been alone. Not sure how they...

I read this today. It gives me hope for the animals I was not able to help in this lifetime...

So Aggie gave me a surprise today! When I picked her up I saw her nipples were rather raw and popping out and her lady parts were bruised a bit. And Sweetie was acting strange when I tried to get her out of the cage, so I tore her cage apart and found the best cute surprise! All have dark eyes...

So I've been posting all over the place of the mice I have. To quickly update about 6 weeks ago I had 5 adult feeder females brought in from a feeder breeder who was shut down. There was a single male in the group of girls who was removed when they were found. So needless to say they all went...

A young man in Baltimore is doing an article about how great rats are and how far from what society sees they are. Not sure why his display picture needed to be shirtless and posing....anyway...if he's going to be an advocate for rats who am I to judge!? Here's the post I saw.

This was brought to my attention today from a friend in London. As I am taking in some of the Michigan rats I won't have room for these two boys. Anyone interested in adopting them? 2 bonded males. Dumbo agouti (looks like)

Tomorrow is a crucial day! I am only 3.5 hrs from the abandoned rats in Fruitport Michigan. I would like to try to help capture as many rats as possible safely but do not have the budget for gas to get there and home. Likely it would cost about $70 total as I have a very fuel efficient car and...

I have been invited to our local Kids Festival. I have been asked to bring an assortment of animals from rats to degus to guinea pigs. I would love creative ideas to make educational displays for the rats as this is a great opportunity to change the minds of adults and educate children on how...

I have finally mustered up the strength to post this memorial for Boots. For anyone who has known my journey in the rat world you will know Little Boots' story. But I will recap the main events. I lost my heart rat Sterling in late October 2013, and just when I thought I couldn't love a dumbo...

I feel bad I didn't make a memorial for U.B. also known as Houdini and Ollie-ball! Last week was a rough week of losses. And their discovery was mortifying. Not only were their deaths sudden, their cagemates had been attempting to 'dispose' of their remains. I had never seen this before. Now I...

So to round off my week feeling better since the 4 rat and 1 mouse death last week, I come home to find another unexpected death. My sweet Diablo who was only just 1 yr and 2 months had crossed the bridge Wednesday afternoon. Again the other rats attempted to 'dispose' of his remains. I had...

This is the most disturbing death I have seen and I have seen some gory scenes. Please do not read if you cannot handle VERY gory details. Wally the nakie and Yoshi the two big aggressive boys from Hamilton that MinnieFlower rescued and transported as a male for female swap last year, seemed...
