WHAT IS THIS?
I just had this wee boy dropped off I have never seen a penis that looked like this. Its too late for the vet today but I can likely squeeze him in tomorrow. Just want to be sure this isn't an emergency!
His feet and ears are really cold, he's underweight and super hungry. He's eating some homemade protien paste (hummus with extra oomf)
I had 5 rats dropped off tonight. I was planning 2-3 and then they kept coming.
It was a frustrating situation but I at least know they are safe and in a healthy place now. I will post a picture play by play.
First two boys approx a year old Bug and Nugget came in, in this, though the best of the cages it was dirty bedding, no food, no hideout.
Here is Nugget, who is a BIG sweet boy
Here is Bug also a good size (later you will see why) and sweet as well
Then came in Rattitat (female) in this...pine bedding
This is her, she is a little jumpy but not aggressive
And just when I thought that was it,
Wee boy (needs a name) came in this, also pine bedding
Here's his face (haha) his little man part worries me. He's super sweet.
And then another girl, who needs a name, in this...more pine
She is lovely but not well handled and quite spastic when handled, tried to bite.
The weight might have something to do with them eating whatever this is....guessing at some point there was corn and sunflowers in it too!
I gave them all some rat kibble and a bit of vegetarian dog food for some good wholesome protien. Wee boy and the girls also got a bit of the hummus with lentils and beans. The girls will be under pregnancy watch as I don't trust they were never with the boys. They sort of underhandedly mentioned the silver girl had been growing fast! :S
Wee boy needs to put on a lot of weight. He only weights 75g he seems about 8-12 weeks old. But hard to tell with his tiny frame.
