mojo1 Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Hi, some of you may remember my thread about my ancient ratty girls Pippin and Pansy, the oldest mother and daughter rat combo I've ever known. Pippin passed away a few weeks ago at the tender age of 3 1/2 and Pansy is not coping with my two year old bossy girl Pearl. I've had to split them up and I'm now looking for a companion or two for Pearl, before she starts to pine. I've been looking online but can't seem to find any that need rehoming, I know there must be some out there, there always are. So can anyone help, or point me in the direction of rats needing a loving home?
diamond123 Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 have you tried the fancy rat forum under the rehoming section? also try pming lillyland on here if she hasnt got any rescue bubs atm she prob can point you in the direction fo someone that has. good luck
mojo1 Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 Thanks lovey, I had a look on lillylands site and it said there were none available, but I'll PM her and see if she can help
diamond123 Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 yeah she has lots of link through rescue and the NERS (she is the hon secretary) so usually knows about the waifs and strays lol
hels1977 Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 If Domino keeps me awake for another night she will find herself in the rehoming section! Why does newspaper HAVE to be rearranged at 3am? Yes, check with Lilly and go from there, sadly plenty about, just maybe not in this area!

hels1977 Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 You need some earplugs - I've found them to be sooo useful when sleeping in a room full of animals Yes, I need better ones (I had some in) plus I was in a completely different room! She decided that her house was not to her inexplicably high standards!

You need to change over to something paper based, like cardboard squares (Lottie on here supplies them), or even just newspaper. If you have someone in the family who likes beer then cardboard packso f beer can be torn into squares too. There's some good advice on cage sizes, food and substrate here: http://fancy-rats.co.uk/information/ If you got them from a pet shop there's a good chance you've been highly misinformed so I would have a read and learn more about your new pets. Good luck!
shazatko Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 thanks hels1977. i bought them from a lady on preloved i have plenty of newspapers so i will shred some of that for them thanks again
