Default I need help rat related.

Ok not sure how to say this so please do not jump at me or slate or have a go or anything im a mess as it is.

I said i would not rehome the rats well i really do not know what to do now.
My relationship is breaking off, im pregnsnt im keeping it. At the moment i have no money i was dependant on Jack. I have no job i cannot get one all i can get is benifits which is not alot. The rats will end up suffering with possibly no food and soon no new toys hammocks bedding etc. I really don't know how to afford it. aswell as that i have a bearded dragon dumped on me too which bites me to death for a unknown reason he is she is fine with others but me. My auntie is getting me her live food and her fresh veg is from my fridge whatever i have in.

So what do i do suffer with them and let them have short supply sometimes or should i rehome. i do have some males which are needing a home from the last litter. Not breeding now obv we stopped this was last litter.

so help how can i get more money really so i can hopefuly keep them.

Have them fostered until you are in a more financially suitable position xxx

i would be willing to foster some(if they are friendly) as my eldest wouldlike some for her birthdya but is worried she will be scared of them,so this would be a good thing for you as in we foster some for you and for her as she will get used to handling.
if you decide you would like to take me up on this please get in touch.

How far are you rach? because i want them all in foster home near me so i can go visit them too. I can't think of what it would be like without my boys. The only nippers is one which was a rescue but he doesnt come up to you and bite you. You would have to be trying to grab him for him to nip.

All the others are extra tame. Ive had most from birth its so hard i would wish them all to go to a home with cage and all together and to a friend or someone near so i can go get cuddles when i feel low and be really nice friends with them.

I'm going to go for a bit i don't want to talk about it for a bit feeling too low at the moment making me feel worse thinking about rehoming.

I would rehome them all.

If your not finacially stable now your definatly not going to be once you have your baby.

Plus if someone fosters them you should at least be covering the cost of there food. And you need to think if you would be able to afford vet treatment for them if they were to get ill in a foster home.

If any needed vet treatment this sounds bad but my mum steps in at the moment she would pay for it and i would pay her back when i could. This is why i posted it to get opinions im glad some people are helping me out and not having a go although that may happen anyway.

I think I would rehome them tbh as once the baby comes things will be even harder and you will have less time for them . If you foster them out you really should cover all there costs such as food bedding vets etc etc so its not gonna cost you any less than it is now. When we foster our kittens out our sanctuary pays for everything
