Wow I make them sound like a feature attraction...hahaha.
I got an email from Chelle of CCH regarding these older boys. The rescue was unable to take them in at this time, but their plight was weighing on her mind, so she asked me if I could help either find them a home or take them in. The 4 boys are 20 months old, have never lived apart and get along well from what I hear. Their owner Amanda is on a fixed income with an elderly dog that now needs special food. She cannot afford her boys anymore, and was barely affording them before.
Oscar and Tommy are both beige berks with only a belly marking to tell them apart. Both healthy and Oscar is supposedly Alpha.
Loki is the black hooded boy who "snores" when he sleeps.
Cecil is the one who needs the most help, beyond the "snoring", hair loss on his back, etc, he has lost a ton of weight and condition due to a massive tumour hanging off his chest (from what Amanda was able to tell me). Its so big that there's not a lot of options for Cecil. This monster grew in a few months giving me hope that it is a loosely attached mammary tumour. I think it needs to be removed or his life really cannot go on too much longer.
Its arranged that Jenny will pick them up on Tuesday and deliver them on Friday. Once Jenny picks them up, we'll have a better idea (and hopefully more pics) of all of them but especially of sweet Cecil.
I do have one other small issue. I already have a Loki, and a Tommy....although my Tommy is Thomas, and Loki doesn't respond to her name anyways so I could call her Loca after one of my original rats? These boys have to keep their names. Sound reasonable?
Ahh well meet the boys from Amanda's pics. The shelves of the RR were removed because she was worried that Cecil would fall off of them. Supposedly the other boys are very kind to Cecil which is always good to hear and Oscar the alpha who loves to steal the other boys food, never does it with Cecil.
Loki, Cecil, and the other 2 beige boys, Tommy and Oscar.
I asked her to take a pic of Cecil's belly...
I have a request though. If there's anyone who is planning on sending my rats hammocks for Christmas and you haven't bought them yet, I would prefer a small monetary donation for the rat's care at this point, due to Cecil's possible upcoming tumour surgery, Frida's euth on Monday etc. Sorry to ask this but if you don't ask, you don't get do you?
