The Kijiji ad posted last night that Alex put up. I saw it this morning.
I have several live rats that i am giving away for free. They were used to breed for / feed my ball python collection but between switching to frozen thawed and the larger girls going off feed I wont be needing these guys anymore.
First come first serve. Take them all if you want, or take one for a pet. Not holding onto anything for anyone, but ill be fair. I wont have 2 people racing to see who gets here first. If someone has messaged me already i will let you know.
I can give you a container to take them home in if needed.
I have a brand new unopened bag of bedding if you would like for $5.
pick-up only
The snake owners snakes had been switched over to frozen thawed so these older adult rats were no longer needed. They were used as breeding stock. I hated the thought of someone taking them and feeding them off or continuing to breed these poor souls, so after I saw Alex's post on here I messaged them at 7:42 am. By 9:30 am we were starting dialogue...I left home at 11 am.
The whole trip took 3 hours, but its now taken me 2 more hours to triage, take pics and get them setup in small temp cages.
First impressions, crazy thin, filthy, lice-ridden rats with terrible porphryin...I kissed some as I transferred them to their carriers found out there was 8 not 7 and rushed them home as fast as public transit allowed.
So here are the 4 boys and 4 girls who just came home, and are now retired from their former life. Names are much needed for the 4 boys, Jenny helped me with girls as we had to name the last girl quickly, and you'll know why once I get to her.
I'll let their pics do the "talking"...there's a LOT of pics too.
Boy 1 - mink hoodie dumbo, very very thin, don't let the puffy fur fool you, lice and a mild URI
Boy 2 - fawn self dumbo, very thin, lice and a moderate URI
Note his version of fear poop
(ALL the rats are dehydrated)
Boy 3 - black berkshire, standard ear, very thin, no URI, shyest of the boys
Note the porphy paws
Boy 4 - black self, best body condition, thinning fur, biggest boy, dominant and tried to mouth me
Girl 1 - Zima - russian blue, much younger?, too thin, no URI but nipped very hard and kept trying
Girl 2 - Talvi - Agouti hooded dumbo, seems to like people , no URI, too thin and lice like the rest
This pic you can see the sunken in side, the other pics don't show
Girl 3 - Kayi - beige berkshire, very thin, no URI, but I am worried about her, she seems dull and apathetic
And lastly Lumi (Finnish for snow) - PEW I think dumbo (hard to tell), very apathetic, much older, covered in lice, eyes are pale from not feeling well or cataracts not sure which as she's elderly, large mass in her abdomen sadly, and she always feels cold and is usually hunched over. Her heart seems to be beating very slowly and she has no URI. She reminds me sooo much of Morry. :heart: :sad3:
Here she seemed excited and was on the move
