sskirrrow   10 #1 Posted September 4, 2013 Bit of a long shot, I know...I have just acquired a Adult pet Rat. I found it in a small taped up box, in the middle of nowhere while out walking my dog..(actually there was two boxes, but one had escaped and they were no signs of the Rat. Obviously been abandoned by someone.. I dont know how long they had been there, but after a good feed and drink it is OK. Looks very healthy and extremely friendly Anyway, the kids have fell in love with it and even named it... So now i'm looking for a cage big enough for the fully grown Rat and some Accessories (Water Bottle, Bowl, Etc.) Its just to put me on until I can afford a new cage at end of month. He is currently residing in one of my large TubTrugs... Thanks for reading.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
angel22 Â Â 10 #2 Posted September 5, 2013 That's awful! Is it male or female? If you are going to keep it, you should consider getting a friend for it as rats like to live in pairs. Â Have a look on gumtree and preloved. Lots of cages on there, sometimes for free. Â Well done for helping the rat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
tavie_chain   10 #3 Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) There was one on gumtree the other day for about £15 I think  Edit- just looked for a link for you and it's actually a gerbilarium, sorry!! It should be ok as a temporary home though??  If you want them I have a spare food bowl and water bottle (brand new) which you could have. I bought them for my mice but never used them! I've probably even got some spare bedding as I bought some which my ladies hated and just chucked out of their cage!
