I rescued 2 moms at 2 seperate times.
1) She had 4 babies and the owners were threatening to throw her and her 4 babies to the side of the street so I went that day and raised them all. I later sold the babies and kept mom.
2) She was in horrible condition at some animal shack I stopped to get food, she gave birth to 9 babies the next day (who all got sent to good homes except the 2 boys of hers I kept, well 3 but the other passed.)
Both mothers had chopped off tails. The one, her owners son cut it off with scissors, it was a fresh scissor cut when I got her. The other I think got it bit off because it was also a fresh cut. These two moms are so evil to me, I've had them for ~4-5 months and they still hate me. I totally understand why they don't like people because of their life, but I just want so bad for them to love me. I spoil them like crazy and I just cant win them over, even treats. I'll be cleaning their cage and they literally will fly out of their hammocks to bite me, I don't even go near them and they lunge at me. I don't want to get rid of them, they absolutly love the other girls, they get along perfectly with the rats just not humans. Is there anything I can do or am I just going to have to continue with this? I doubt I'd ever get rid of them I just want to try and anything I can. They are so gorgeous and it's like they want to like me but are afraid because they do approach the cage in a nice way sometimes but then attack.
Mommy #1 and her babies:
(Literally right before she popped them out)
(9 babies drinking from mama)
Here are the cuties - they all survived the birth, 1 didn't develope properly and passed 3 weeks later, he literally had no insides developed when we found his body a couple hours later. 1 was born a runt which lived to be 3 months old, he was amazing while he was around I miss him so much. 5 ended up going to new homes, I kept 2 boys and mom)
Mommy #2 and her young:
I wish I could have kept these 4, they were so amazing and I miss them dearly. I think about them often although I sent them to good homes I still wish I had them. At this point I found out that I have a baby of my own on the way so I knew I was better off finding them homes at that time instead of getting even more attached then having to let them go months later. I obviously did end up keeping mama though.
