Dear Goosemoosers,
 
*The time has come* The babies are now 4-5 weeks old and ready to go to their new homes. We are in Grand Rapids, MI. Please open your hearts and homes to these little babies. They are all super sweet and rush to the door to be handled. They love their special baby food, veggie, and fresh fruit dinners and popcorning! They also love to hand wrestle, and are *very* used to being smothered with kisses.
 
We have black and whites, beige and whites, and pink eyed whites (PEWS). Given the sheer number of them, individual photos are a bit hard, because they are hard to tell apart en masse! But here are several group photos, along with individuals, who, if we can see the markings, I can probably find among the bunch for you if you like one in particular. But I want to stress, *any* of these babies will make wonderful companions. They are all adorable and very eager to have love.

Bathtime cutie:

Still pigging out on mommy (and grandma!) at 4 1/2 weeks


We got cake!





wittle babies have cake too

I no want cake, I's got a hammie!

Ok fine, I will hab cake, but only in my hammie!


Nursing... cake??


I don't want cake, I want you!!


Who dat?




Adopt me!


Please contact me to arrange adoption, and unless you know I know you, please fill out the adoption contract I have on my website www.freewebs.com/ribbonhammocks (click rat rescue on the nav bar) and include a picture of your cage set up if possible.
 
I am VERY willing to drive to place these guys in surrounding states, and would love anyone who can to volunteer to help "rattie train" these kiddos. They really need loving homes and the sooner the better. I am, unfortunately, only one person, and they need more attention than I can give one on one (being 46 of them).
 
Thank you so much for your consideration, and all of you who have donated to help. Remember, if you can't adopt, please consider donating goods or money towards their care. We still need more cages especially, as they are getting big fast, and we want them to have enough room (right now cages are definately a little crowded!). Thanks again!

Oh Meghan - what gorgeous happy looking babies!  Heart
I love the 2nd pic of "grama" nursing - poor girl!

I can't adopt any more right now as I'm at my limit but would be happy to transport if you need it in Upstate NY, western VT. Just let me know.

hehe, yeah, I had mittens and lyddie with their litters in one cage, and everyone knew that grandma mittens had the best milk lol. I swear, they mobbed her way more often than their own mom. But they did take turns. It was soo cute. You see the one pew on the end, that is her grandchild hehe... "yous not my baby... oh well.." mittens the zen mama. Her third litter, and then a shared 4th litter LOL.

If a rattie train ends up in N Illinois, I might be able to take in a little girl.

Hey Meghan, I might be able to help you out.  I have an old Martins that would need to be put back together with zip ties and I might still have an old guinea pig cage that would need modification because the opening between the bars is too big.  I prolly still have some food bowls, a wheel and other stuff as well.  If you are interested I can see what I can get together, but the GP cage is very large so you'd need a decent sized vehicle to move it.  Let me know.

BUMP-- We still need LOTS of homes. Everyone is really sweet, and getting cuter by the day. Smiley

Hi Pyrric, where do you live? I would love those cages and wheel. Let me know!

If there could be a possible train to KY, and I can travel a few hours, like to OH and maybe IL, I'd be more than happy to take a few Smiley

I can definately get to IL, as I will be getting probably as far as Michigan City, Indiana... I might be able to get to Ohio. How far can you come up city wise? I am honestly not sure how far away KY is...

I am in Woodstock, IL but am only willing to travel about an hour (although I'd be willing to chip in a little for gas!). If that works out, I'd like 2 females....a PEW, and either another PEW or any of the lighter color ones, like maybe if you can tell that the PEW has a special friend. Heart
 I filled out an application a little while ago, and will send you pics of my new cage tomorrow.

I'm in Grand Rapids, technically Plainfield Township, 4 Mile and Dean Lake.  I can see what I can get together if you are willing to pick it up.   Ratty Smiley  I know I have an old Martins 680 downstairs, I was thinking I might have a super pet one too.  I'll look and give me an email tomorrow @ pyrrhichistory@gmail.com and we'll set something up.

Oh my goodness I would love one.
Sadly I'm not available to take any right now, although if I had the means I would take a couple in an instant!!
Good luck finding homes for all the adorables!

Hi Lori,

I sent you an email. I'm sorry I didn't notice you had pmed right away. I get pretty busy wed-mon with working, so it might have escaped my immediate notice. If you are still able to adopt, do let me know. I sure am up to my ears in babies!

If anyone else wants to adopt, you may also call me directly at 616-446-6159. I am willing to travel. This Sunday is the soonest I can get anywhere. Please consider these babies. They are all so sweet and really need more attention than I can give. Thank you all so much. Anyone who can't adopt, but would like to help, we really really need more lab blocks asap, if anyone feels like sending some from petfooddirect.com. If so, the address is Meghan Mulkerin 2036 Swensberg Ave NE. Grand Rapids, MI 49505. Thanks again!

Meghan

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sound PMS-y in my post: but I was  Wink


I can't imagine how busy you are with life AND that many ratlets!!

I'm going to stick with the boys from HVRR, I have been wanting boys, but obviously since I have 2 girls I'd have to have them neutered, which HVRR does.
I hope your cuties find homes quickly!

Hi Everyone! I am driving to Michigan City, Indiana this sunday to meet with an adopter who lives in Chicago. I might be able to ask her to transport back to chicago, if any of you around there want to adopt. Also, if anyone wants to meet us in MI city, or offer to transport elsewhere from there that would be awesome!
