(RLR) 2 young males (double rexes) [OH, IN, KY, beyond] We need a Mommy/Daddy!

[Kimmiekins]

(Bigger photos here, all the double rex photos are Led & Zepplin)

These two boys are awesome.  They are about 5 months old. They have HUGE personalities (completely different from each other!), they are extreme lovers and they need a lot of cuddles/playtime. These boys need a home where they will be interacting with their family often. They are social (Led most, but Zepplin certainly is as well). They very much enjoy treats, and require their adoptive parent(s) to give lots and lots (and lots and lots more).  They enjoy shoulders. They are occasional rodentists, and like to groom people (especially ears!).

Led came to us with an eye scratch, which has since healed and requires no medicine anymore. Zepplin is quite thinner than Led, and bears the brunt of the playtimes (scratches), but appears to be completely healthy. Led has a permanent kink in his tail, it appears it was shut in a cage door at some point. It does not affect him in any way.

We're sad to give them up, if that tells you how wonderful they are. We will be picky to insure they go to the best home. One that will give them lots (LOTS) of out-time is a MUST. These boys are very people-social.

We are working on a transport up through Ohio at this time, but details aren't concrete yet. However, we will drive up to 2 hours, more if gas money is provided.

Our website is undergoing re-construction, so please reply here or email rattielove@rattie-love.com. Since our site is down, here's our general info on adoptions:

The adoption fee for these two is $20. We will NOT split them up, they are a bonded pair. We also accept further donations, of course. Neutering is available through our vet for $45 each ($90 total), which would need to be paid via Paypal in advance. Do note, though, that we require an adoption application to be filled out, we do check vet/landlord references, and we do not adopt out to those under 18 (have a parent or legal guardian go through the process for you). Thanks!

Thoguht these guys were going to have a home, but it might not work out after all.

*bump*

they are adorable and I hope you find them a great home!!! But totally off topic I am curious as to what makes them Double Rex? I just adopted out a little boy rat and I have a baby girl rat who look very similar.

Thanks! Here's a few links that can probably explain it better than I can:

The boys have been adopted!

The boys are back up again. For the second time, their adoption fell though.

They URGENTLY need a home. These boys are so social, and with so many other rats in the rescue, they desperately NEED attention. We've been battling keeping their weight up, as they wouldn't eat for a little bit... They are healthy and vet-checked, and we believe it's from not getting the same attention they got from their previous owner.

We would also consider a nearby foster until a home is found for these boys, so if anyone can do that, please get in touch.

Please spread the word. These rats (well, no rats!) don't belong in rescue. They are perfect in every way, and would be such wonderful rats for anyone. They are friendly, people loving, rodentists, with HUGE personalities. They can be held, like to play, will curl up on your lap for a snooze, explore and enjoy having free-roam time...

The only requirement is that you have lots of time to spend with them. That is what they were used to, and what they deserve.

We CAN travel or set up a rattie train. We have adopters as far as MO, MI and TN. PLEASE consider these lovebugs. It breaks my heart, the way they want more attention then I can give them... And I already sneak them out more than others.

Thanks Selena!

Okay guys, I've got 3 possible adopters, so I think these boys have a good chance.
