Last night I lost ratty number two after she had a stroke over a week ago. I decided that this would be the point at which I started enquiring over homes for my other two (or possibly just one) as I do not want to see one being on its own. I was considering starting the cycle again as I have a cage big enough for four or five rats but at the moment my uni work is suffering due to the many commitments I keep taking on. I have two but Quincy, the dumbo rat, is over three now and has a mammory tumour which I decided due to her age not to get operated(I am hoping that she passes peacefully before the tumour overtakes her although she is really active and healthy ATM). Obviously I understand that not many people would want to take on an unhealthy rat but if someone is prepared I would prefer them to go together. I will cover the costs of vet bills to PTS if it comes to it.
If not, I would really like to have a home for Ladders lined up for as soon after Quincy goes as possible. Her details below.
Will give more details of Quincy if needed.
