Four dumbo rats adopted from a pet store surprised their owners with 29 babies in late July. As the parents were cinnamon dumbo hooded and rex, we expect the babies are at least in part rex and/or dumbos. Kim's Ark is looking into the possibility of having at least some of the rats spayed/neutered, so not all will be available immediately, but we'd love to have adoptive and foster homes lined up in advance. Transportation is readily available within a reasonable distance of Canadensis, PA. The Ark is working out arrangement for foster care in Scranton, PA, and transportation into Delaware is in the works.

For more information, email kimsarkadopt@gmail.com.

*bump*

Pics available yet?  Can we get a rattie train into northern VA?

Sorry, no photos yet.

There are a couple of potential adopters in Delaware who may be able to help with transport to VA.

Here's some additional info on who's who, and most importantly, pictures!  :)

Several rats made their way to new homes this week, and a couple more are spoken for, but several are still available -

Two beige dumbo girls
Two beige top-eared girls

Two beige top-eared boys

There are a few additional currently spoken for but not yet adopted - of course this may change and more may become available.

Hi!  If you have any dumbo girls left, and if there's a way to get a ratty to Northeast Missouri, I'm very, very interested!

Thanks,
Susan

Now onto names :help: ... whew *thinking...thinking...*

I'm almost 100% positive that this is the baby I got from the foster lady this week. He doesn't have a name yet either.

Are there any beige dumbo girls left?  If there is any possibility of transportation to southwestern VT I would be very interested!

Bump for the babies!

If there's any way to get them to Long Island, NY or even close by, I would love a female beige dumbo baby!

Here's an update on what's available now:

Six girls:
Four are light beige topeared
Two are "rexy" agouti topeared

Six boys:
One "rexy" agouti
Two light beige dumbo
Three light beige top-eared

RachelnJoe - We have another litter in NYC available now. Email us at kimsarkadopt@gmail.com for more info & an application. :)

There have been many questions on transportation. We do as much as we can to help these little guys get rides to where they need to be, but please remember we do count on the adopters to contribute to transportation. The foster mom in Scranton is GREAT with transport but we need to be fair to her as well; in general, an adopter should expect to cover at least half of the trip (and I don't mean half of the trip from California ;) ).

Bumpity bump....

A couple of the boys may be spoken for, but the rest are still available!  :BlueDumboSmile:  :BlueDumboSmile:

There are 2 boys and 6 girls not spoken for as of now

*BUMP* for the ratties

PHEW!  I was starting to worry that the Ark had vanished, since I've been hitting the adoption page and it hasn't been updated!  Glad you're still out there!   :rattysmiley:

Is there a number update on these guys? Is the last rex agouti boy still available? I have his brother. I am considering adopting another to bring my total to 3, and thought it would be nice to adopt his brother and reintroduce them. Not sure what I want to do yet, just keeping my options open.

I am pretty sure the last two boys were adopted this weekend.
