Lone Girl at Durham Humane... can you help me determine her age?

[uglycupcake]

Hi,

I was at durham humane yesterday, and noticed a lone female rat. She's listed as an adult by the shelter, but she's only 160g. Would you be able to determine her age for me? I'm considering giving her a home, but would need to find her a friend around her age.

She was apparently found abandoned in an apartment with a guinea pig. Her cage is tiny and she's on mixed feed. I noticed her bottoms of her back feet are more red than I remember being normal with my own rats.

I was only able to get one picture, so I don't know how useful that will be. She was really shy and hid under the shavings after I removed the hut from her cage, so it was pretty difficult to try and get more pictures

She looks young to me in that pic, 6 mo maybe?

Ya I would agree, 6 months or less.
Poor lonely baby. <3

There are two small female rats at the Toronto Humane Society still, if you want to get the lone girl from Durham and then try homing her with two others. Please adopt the lone girl regardless as she deserves a forever home. =^.^=~

I'll be picking her up on Saturday if she hasn't been adopted by then. I'm going to try and pair her with another lone female or neutered male. I can't have more than 2 rats, or I get into "what's one more?" mentality, lol. Then I'd have to invest in another double CN, since I donated my last.

Yaaay! That sounds awesome, I'm sure she will be sooooo grateful for the loving home!!
