Hi everyone, I have good news and bad news... I finally am about to get a pet rat!
Yes, you heard me correctly, I said rat. I am rehoming this girl from someone else who has kept her on her own for most of her life. She is also coming with a cage, cleaning supplies and a few of the essentials. Now I'm faced with a problem. I haven't seen the cage yet but I'm worried its not big enough for two and I know she will need a friend for when I'm not around.
Sadly I am having the worst luck finding another cage that is suitable and also wont cost me a fortune, so an urgent call for help on that front!! Plus the owner says she isn't sure as to whether the girl gets on with other rats (which I not sure what to think on that).
So I feel like I'm in a predicament, and I could really use some advice. Should I bite the bullet and get her a friend when there may or may not be a lot of room or wait until I can find another cage and try what I can for her in the meantime and hope it will be enough?
I really want this to work out as I have waited so long for this and I would so love the company of this lovely animal!
