    Rescue closing in Toronto, ON *lots of rats for adoption*

    I have unfortunately decided to shut down my rescue, and rehome most of my rats. I have been going back and forth with this decision and now I have no choice. A lot is changing in my life right now and soon I will no longer have the space, time or health to care for my rats. I've decided that...

    Sterling's Rescue Doors *Open*!

    Everyone I talked to said even with the diet and enemas it's not common to save them with early onset megacolon. :( Sometimes it's too bad, I lost one as well. :( But I'm so happy to hear she's pooping! Megacolon is heartbreaking, after dealing with it first hand I love hearing the survival...

    Sterling's Rescue Doors *Open*!

    I use mineral oil but you can also use warm water. That works well too. I know most people reccomend euthanasia for megacolon right away. But i personally don't believe in euthanizing unless you've done everything you can. So I changed his diet and did one enema, since then he's been doing...

    Sterling's Rescue Doors *Open*!

    You can get an enema syringe at the vet but I find they're a little big for babies. I just sit him in warm water ', then put a little mineral oil on his bum to soften the feces. After the first dried up chunk comes out he goes all by himself for the rest of the day. :) i'm glad she's doing...

    Sterling's Rescue Doors *Open*!

    I'm so sorry to hear about the megacolon incident. :( I recently took in two deformed litters that also had megacolon from some dummy that wanted babies then couldn't handle them. One boy showed symptoms so fast he just bloated and died the same day. :( The other is on the woody's diet and is...

    Severe allergies - need to rehome 3 boys with critter nation

    Aw they are adorable. If I adopt a few rats out I may have room for them, I have a few potential homes. I run a rescue in Toronto, but I'm gonna take a break from rescuing so I will be keeping everyone that isn't adopted. I might be able to take your boys and let them live the rest of their...

    New rescue momma and litter

    They have arrived. The people were nice but definitely liars. No way these were feeders as they brought a hundred dollar cage with them. They could've just told me the real story but oh well. I think they adopted two pets and both ended up pregnant and they decided they didn't want them. So we...
