Hi All,
Thought I would post again.  I got a very sweet albino female from PETCO who turned out to be pregnant.  She gave birth to 14 very healthy pups.  I cant keep them.  I'm moving from LA to new york in the fall and trying to move cross country into a tiny rental with 17 rats is not feasable.  I called PETCO and they said they will take the babies at 4 weeks.  This is the last thing I want to do, so please take them in and/or advertise this to anyone you think might be willing to take them.

I have pictures of them and their mom posted under my photo album.  The babies are 15 days old today (July 3rd).
Please rescue a sweet ratty.  Thanks!

Strange Duck, thanks for your input!  Yes, I know they will end up on the chopping block if they go to Petco and I certainly dont want that.  I just emailed the spca, thank you for the suggestion.  Its really unfortunate.  I have been socializing them in the hopes that they will be more adoptable, but so far no one has contacted me about wanting them.  I have this horrible image of them happily hoping into the hands of a snake owner thinking they are about to be pet or played with. 
I'd be more then happy to donate some money for their care........somebody?  ....anybody?

I live in Kern County and can offer homes to your pups if you cannot adopt them out; don't want them to end up at a pet store as feeders. I currently have two intact boys living together, but no other cages.

If you need help just let me know, I'm sure we can work something out:)
