That's Janesville,  I make trips to Madison, WI often, so can be of some help 

The topic of carriers has been coming up.  You are welcome to provide your own carrier at pick-up time.  If you don't already have one, I could provide one for $1.  It will be plastic with breathe holes drilled.  It won't have the "style" of carriers sold at pet stores for $15.....

Just let me know in advance if you want this so I can have it ready for you.  $1 will buy a safe/functional ride home.  Just not stylin' and profilin'! 

Only two unreserved male babies left:


1)  ****** Mini-me  ********* He was so mellow for this photo with his dangly feet!




2)  ****** Tonka  **************




Many thanks to Julie from Ratrescue who is taking three boys to MN.

It's a **cold** winter's night.  Sleep tight from the Bubs in their cozy customized bed.

I am 95% sure the answer will still be "no" but I'm going to speak to my dad once again about rats. If a home pops up for these sweet boys, don't wait for me Good luck!

Hi.  I haven't been using applications -- just reviewing posting history to feel safe -- so yes, the last two boys can be yours.  Give Tonka an extra kiss from me sometimes.  Beanjelly is actually picking up her boy closer to x-mas as that is when she is visiting family in the area.  This is still okay? 

Beanjelly, is it okay to piggy back a ride with T-bone?  That would be three boy brothers traveling together to the St. Louis area?

of course I'll give those two cuties a ride!     I'm guessing we will be leaving the Chicago-area on the 27th to return to St. Louis, but I'm not positive yet.  I will email you both when I have definite plans.

woohoo! for cute babies!  (and I promise not to kidnap the other two, even though I'm sure I'll be very tempted... )

Many babies have gone to their forever homes and mom went back to my neighbor's house.  It is a little heartbreaking as the remaining babies are so scared.  Having never seen babies the same day as being separated from mom is kinda painful to watch.  Wow, wish I could tell them that they will all have homes to be loved in!  They are even scared of me now!   

Topaz, now, I'm free to bring Topaz, Spot, and cage to you.  Could make the trip tomorrow if you want....  Topaz is a smart one!  Of all days to make an escape, the day he is scared!  Thankgoodness, he came out when Stormwatching was here adopting.

T-Bone, Tonka, and Mini-me will be craddled as much as I can!  Really hope they adjust soon!!!!

Sure, next week can work, Topaz.

Guess with evening, the babies have too much energy to not play.  At least they don't seem scared of me anymore!

Thank you so much ratty_pack, it was wonderful meeting you!

Chevelle and Maracas are all settled in, Maracas thought it was amusing to crawl down my shirt. Chevelle is SO outgoing! she is always out and about and EATING! She packs food away like it's going out of style.

Once again, lovely meeting you and there will be updates!

Are there any boys left?? 

YAY! could you post a pic of him??
About how old is he now? What's his personality like so far?
Would there be transport available? (i live right by six flags, in gurnee, IL.)
*is desperatly trying not to get hopes up*

Honestly, I've been a little foolish and didn't realize that two rats were "Spot" to me as they each have an eyepatch Spot.  Looking back on photos, I photographed them both as "Spot" without realizing it.  Sometimes my count was off, but didn't connect the dots of two "Spots".  Should have had 5 rats left and found 6!

They just passed 5 weeks of age last Saturday.  I will post photos -- after I clear which "Spot" Topaz wants.  I will do a personality update once they are resettled.  They are still nervous with mom and siblings disappearing this weekend. 

At this time, I feel more comfortable for adopters to come to me.  Topaz was the only exception and wanted to do that for a long time member who I knew was active with rescues and a great owner.  Plus, we had a rat with nearly identical markings to her beloved "Topaz" rat.
