NW England URGENT - Places Needed For 50+ Rats

[danielle101]

I was looking on pet forums and noticed this... based in lancashire but can get transport all the way up to glasgow so every one should be able to help if they wanted to...

Apologies for the long post.

Basically, a local breeder who i know reasonably well, has been ill for a while now, and asked for help to re-home her rats if she became more unwell in the future, this was a while ago, however, things have deteriorated and rats need to be re-homed as her husband has given the go ahead to re-home some, quite soon, as hes not as ratty orientated and does not seem to be interested in even completing the basics of care required, ie food, water.

They have around 175 between them, at a conservative guess and being rehomed 50ish per listed group, per time, depending on urgency, to minimise confusion.

Some are in awful condition...really awful, and due to the lack of food and similar for those in the shed outside, they are seemingly killing and eating each other by the amount of blood we found and its pretty dire, we did remove quarter of a bin bag of dead animals a few days ago, and cleaned cages and fed/watered the rats and split sexes of kittens and due to go back next week.

The ones in the house should be okay to be re-homed as they aren't too bad temperament and health wise, a few old tilts and lice etc but that's it, and its these who I'm hoping people will be able to help at least foster or provide permanent homes as soon as possible.

This is pretty urgent, i have took the worst out from there but only have very limited space, but any help is appreciated.

You can contact me by email im_driving_a_bridge@hotmail.co.uk or email my friend who is helping deal with enquities on aeris_rats@live.co.uk

Most are under 8 months old, with a few ancient ones over 2 also though, more info on some of the rats is here: Fancy Rats • View topic - 28 rats, mixed gender, 3 to 24 months. Lancs

Please do not be put off by distance or similar, as its possible transport can be arranged, even up to glasgow etc.

So Help If You Can Please...

Thanks for reading

How awful poor things. I have 3 rats myself and am hoping to get a bigger cage for them very soon in which case I may be able to help take a couple even if just temporary if that helps as I'll have a spare cage? I could maybe take a couple of the 'ancient' ones permanently?
