I have dibbs on Lil' Miss once she has weaned her litter.    

hiya bonnie....I would have to go check to make sure, but as of now I have at least 8 from the oldest litter, 8 from the LM litter, and 2-4 (depending on sex being adoped next week) from Sarahs litter.

PLUS, all adults are still available minus the PEW and Lil' Miss.

Hi, I am interested in two males.  Preferrably outgoing from the start as I they need to bring my Cosmo out of his shell some more.  

How is the personality of #2 on the Dumbo litter?  
And are these babies all being handled daily?  

And which are the males in Lil' Miss litter?

And what are the birthdates?  

I am in Michigan but am willing to travel.

So, does that mean male #2 in the dumbo litter is still available?  What is his personality like?

OK, I think this Dumbo litter would be a good fit with Cosmo, as they are about the same age (Cosmo is a month older).  

I would like to reserve Male #2.  Also, I the web site shows that Chelsie has two of the males on reserve?  If not I would also be interested in Male #3 (I love hoodies). If he is not available, then I would like to reserve Male #4.  

I will need to make travel arrangements, so please email me with where I will be going for these babes.

Okay, here's the deal with travel.  

They have to fly in the mail/cargo airplane, but NorthWest ships thousands of animals each month and has a special temperature controlled cargo room for live animals.  

They would each need a heath certificate from a vet stating that they are in good health and can stand temperatures below 50 degrees to 10 degrees.  The temperature requirement is just so they can transport the carrier outside to the airplane, where it is temperature contolled.  This time a year, the temp outside should not be too cold.

They can leave from the airports in either Greensboro or Raleigh.  They need to arrive 2 hours before the flight where they will be kept inside.  Food can be put on the outside of the carrier in a baggy (I would put a handful inside for them to crunch on during the ride)  and a water bottle can be used.  

The flight itself is only 1 1/2 hours, so if everything goes smoothly, the little guys will arrive before they know it and I will be waiting for them.  

If you agree to this transport, this is what I suggest.  I have a proper carrier, water bottle that I could fed-ex to you for use in the transportation. I could also fed ex the ticket for the flight.  I will of course pay for the flight which is $136.00.  You will need to get the health certificates, and deliver the boys to the airport 2 hours before the scheduled flight.    

So please let me know if you are willing to do this, which day you can transport them to the airport, and where I can fed-ex the carrier/suppies/ticket.  

ok, now I have updated the site with sexes and confirmed and reserved the ratties that everyone has expressed intrest in...

As of now, there are 13 rats left:

5 females from the dumbo litter

3 females from the lil' miss litter

4 females from the sarah litter
&
1 male from the sarah litter

I have also never shipped, but I do know that LSR is shipping to me soon, and I know that if she trusts the process and the weather....well, then I suppose I should too.

I could just see what it would be like to try from here.  STill have to call the vet tomorrow to see what I need to do, so I will update as I find out about that.

But if you can transport to the woman in CH that would be FANTASTIC....she will meet you anyplace you would like.....on your way home, or in raleigh.....where ever.    Just let me know and I will contact her.

Thanks again.

Since I get the pick of the boys, I would like to take both hoodies from the dumbo litter.

Okay, since I need to book the flight, Rattie, you need to tell me when and during what times.  Sunday or Monday at Raleigh on an evening flight?  Is that what your saying?  

The number to Northwest Cargo is 800-692-2746 if anyone wants to check on details of a pet transport.  

The weather here has not dropped below 40 degrees, but I was assured that they would only be outside from and to the airplane.  Also, they will be packed with at least one fleece hamock that I will send down to you with the carrier.    

The health certificate must state that the rats can tolerate below 50 degrees down to 10 degrees; but the 10 degree thing is not an issue this time of year.    

Also, I still need an address emailed to me for the fed-ex care package of carrier and supplies for travel.

OK, no worries, but ehere is no way we can get this all done and get these rats shipped this weekend.  My vet can't see them till tomorrow and then we would have to make SURE everything was ready before getting tickets and with the carriers and such being shipped and me not yet having the cert.s for the rats....I just think it better to wait for another week.  

Rattie, you can still transport to the CH woman right?

And, Melanie, we will get this figured out and get you a couple of boys....I just want to do it right.

Let me get this right... rattie, are you going to Charlotte to meet Liz?

The reason why I ask (slightly off topic, but still kinda related) I have someone in the DC area that would LOVE to adopt Gilbert, which Liz has.  She said she'd be willing to help in transport, but she can't drive from DC to Charlotte herself, I'm asking her now if she can drive to the Raleigh area, but if anything, Raleigh is a lot closer than Charlotte.

I know it's last minute, and it dosen't have to be this weekend, but I thought that maybe if you were already going we can work something out? You can PM me or Email me. I just wanted to post here since I know you both are keeping up with this thread...
