Hello,
Today, I had to put my rat to sleep because he had a cancerous tumour and it was only going to get worse. I am devastated but I know it was the right thing to do. Now I have one rat who is by himself and as a student, I can not spend 12 hours each day with him. I have searched for rats up for adoption near me, but there are very few and a lot of them include a cage as well and I've already got a cage. I am undecided on baby rats since I am not sure whether I can cope with their fast metabolisms and thought that there are rats needing a home more. I have heard of fostering but I doubt there are rats around that need foster homes and I don't know how this works. Do you have the rats until they find a home? How soon should I find Bodger a friend-or what's the longest amount of time? If I can wait a few weeks, rats for adoption might come up. Does anyone have suggestions on what I could do? I would appreciate any advice. Thank you.
