Yes we're sure. I wanted them all to begin with, it's just the fiance' who had to decide.. and I'm really glad he did. Nessie is adorable! We're going to name the momma Marilyn. So, Marilyn, Lodi, Lycan, and Nessie  It's not putting a burden or a strain on us either, I was fixing to buy a new cage anyways , I just have to add a few more dollars to get a bigger one now.. which I wanted anyways. So how much money will all of the girls be? I'm so excited  Can't wait to see pictures of Marilyn and Lycan.

Is it bad that I check this thread to see if you've responded every time I get on? haha

[NicodemusRatFan]

  HEY THERE!!!    Hiya, you surprised to see me? Looks like I tracked you down Vampire.

[Distant Vampire]

Sorry I've taken awhile to get back to everyone :/

Life's a tad hectic between work, the rats, and the other animals. I'm also pet sitting for a dear friend, so I've just been pulling myself a tad too thin!

All the babies are very curious and sweet, they love running around on your shoulders and hands and arms, they're just adorable to watch!

Unfortunately, with the timing of her giving birth, I hadn't had Marilyn very long and hadn't been able to socialize her much...and with the kids I've been working more on them than her...she's not very calm as far as holding and handling goes, she doesn't bite but she doesn't really sit still either. So, I'm trying my hardest to get her better socialized along with the kids, they're doing great though!

One thing I should point out: I wont be able to take back any of the kids once you guys adopt them, but if the time should come where you cant take care of them for whatever reason, I'll do my absolute best to help you find them homes!

Also: I've got a couple little wooden playset pieces that the kids ADORE, I'll be sending them home with both of you guys since they're so well loved...It's really funny watching all the babies scramble to fill up the little 'house' and slide down the ramps and generally scurry everywhere. I've got some good pictures that I'll be uploading and working on for you guys

[NicodemusRatFan]

That's perfectly OK. I won't want to get rid of them at any time ever. I'm sure the rats thank you for all the hard work you are putting in on their behalf, as I do too.

Is there anything cuter then a baby rat picture? That was obviously a rhetorical question (ow, the big words hurt my brain ). Can't wait to see those cute rat whiskers!

[NicodemusRatFan]

By the way, I just saw the youtube vid of Lodi and it's nice to see such a happy rat. I'm used to the rats at petco where they just lie around with their eyes closed by mucus and they're hardly breathing. Not to mention they keep the male with the females HAPPY rats!

PS. you never told me what you thought of that ratcode site.

[DigUpHerBones]

Whose that ^?

Anyways...

They'll be staying here forever so you wont have to worry about helping find new homes. It's okay that Marilyn isn't as socialized, I'll pick up from where you leave off .. I don't mind at all. It's fine you haven't responded until now.. sorry you have so much going on! Oh and how much will it cost since I'm getting all of the girls? .. and if you get anytime free will you be taking pictures of Lycan and Marilyn? 

[Distant Vampire]

Nicodemus is adopting two of the boys that I have

It's strange, I actually got one of my boys from Petco awhile back...none of them were very socialized, but he was a total beauty and I couldn't say no ;;

He's turned out to be a very sweet and loving boy!

I got more pictures of Lodi, she is REALLY curious and sweet...I've been shouldering the kids more, and she decided she would rather get a better vantage point...







Marilyn:



Lycan:



random babies:




The red two-level play set will be going home with both of you, since the kids really do love them XD

As far as a cost for adopting them: I'd be happy to take 15$ for all of 4 girls, like I said I'm not worried about making money off of them, just getting them a good home...

[DigUpHerBones]

15 bucks is fine with me. All of the babies are adorable . Yeah.. pet store rats usually come around after they've been treated well. Two of my girls came from a feeder tank at a local pet shop, then my other three came from petsmart. There's never really any baby rats to get around Texas / Oklahoma other than that so when I saw your thread I had to check it out. Oh and btw , my name is Kelsi.

[NicodemusRatFan]

Yay! You're the greatest Vampire! Just wanted to thank you again for all you're doing. I had been searching for rats for nearly four months when I saw your original post on ratrescue.com. All those baby's are simply too cute to be allowed!    The way they all squish themselves into that play set!

Do you have any pictures of just the two boys? If you don't, that's OK. I know you are busy and I don't want to add to that.
(Hehe...  Babys )

Hi Vampire!

 I have been reading your posts. I'm glad you found a great home for all your rats. The pictures of the girls are very cute by the way. I have just recently gotten a new job ( ) and will need to ask for time off to come up to meet you. The 18th will definitely be the best day for me. Will you be able to meet me on that day? In case you have forgotten I am about forty minutes south of Houston in the city of Angleton. The farther down you come, the less distance for us (me and my dad) but I know that is a long way. Just try to come as far as you can and we can come up the rest of the way. If the date can be set at the 18th and you tell me how far down you can come, I will try to plan out an exact spot for us to meet. Do you know how we will recognize each other once we meet? I wouldn't want you handing such cute rats over to a stranger (hmm, aren't I technically a stranger) Please respond as soon as possible, it is important that I have as much time as I can to plan. I will post this on ratrescue in case you aren't checking here anymore.

PS. You mentioned keeping Ren, weren't you keeping two boys? Also, did you find that rat code Link interesting at all? If you forgot the link-

[Distant Vampire]

Yep, I'm keeping two boys. One is my fiance's boy, and he hadn't named him yet, so I didnt list him....he's now got the name Ninja, because of his jumping skills XD

Unfortunately, the 18th wont work for me...it's my sister's birthday, so I'll need to spend it with her.

The farthest I'll be able to go that way is Centerville, which is about half way. It's a good 2 and a half hours from me at any rate, so it's a bit of a drive.

hmm. Well, if we trade of cell phone numbers (either yours or your dads if you dont have one) then we can just call one another and try to plan the meet up that way, once we're both in town. It shouldn't be too hard to coordinate.

And the rat code is pretty interesting, I've seen a bunch of those code generators for different things too.

[r.buse]

Are any still up for give away??

[NicodemusRatFan]

hmm. Well, if we trade of cell phone numbers (either yours or your dads if you dont have one) then we can just call one another and try to plan the meet up that way, once we're both in town. It shouldn't be too hard to coordinate.

OK I'm going to privet message you on ratrescue (since I can't here) our home phone, so we can coordinate on the date. I have used google maps to look at Centerville Tx and the only place to meet there is a dairy queen. If you use google maps to get directions to that dairy queen then we will be close to meeting up.

[NicodemusRatFan]

Vampire, thanks for responding.
