Hey everyone, I'm the Ohio Coordinator for EARPS (www.earps.org) and we are helping a girl who adopted a female rat from craigslist, and a few weeks later she gave birth to twelve bubs. She had no clue she was pregnant at the time of adoption. The previous owner did not give her any indication that it was possible. So she contacted the previous owner, and was told that the mom had gotten loose into their house for a few days.
The litter is all agouti, so we are suspecting they are Halfies. She has handled them as much as possible since day one to socialize them, but they are still showing signs of skittishness. EARPS is full, so we aren't able to actually take these guys in, but we want to help as much as possible. We have been giving her advice, and are now setting up a fund to get the whole litter spayed/neutered for her so that we can find them good homes.
These bubs are located in Lexington, KY, but we are willing to work on a train to adopt them out to the right homes. They will need rat experienced homes, and homes who are understanding that they probably won't be like a normal pet rat. More skittish, more prone to jumping, and FAST!
We are able to get each bub speutered for $40 a piece, which means we need to raise $480, so we are looking for donations to go towards their surgeries. If you would like to donate please send donations via paypal to: [email protected] or you can send checks (just PM me for an address)
If you would like to make a payment to the vet clinic, just give them a call and let them know you would like to add money to EARPS account (Please also notify me either via this thread or a PM that you are calling in a donation to the Clinic, Thanks ^_^)
The vet we are using is Dr. Levitas at
The Animal Hospital on Mt. Lookout Square
3175 Linwood Avenue
Cincinnati, Ohio 45208
513-871-8866
And here are some photos for you to enjoy!
