A friend of mine rescued 5 female hairless rats from a local pet store that wanted to sell them as feeders and needless to say 5 turned into over 50, as all were expecting upon purchase. I am currently helping to foster these cute little babies but they all need forever, loving homes. THESE ARE PETS ONLY!!!!!!!!! NOT TO BE USED AS FEEDERS OR BREEDERS!!!!!!! AGAIN FOREVER, LOVING PET HOMES!!!!!!!!!!!
Currently in my care are 12 females and 19 males, all hairless and age 7-8wks old.  Amongst the mix we have 1 albino baby male, 1 albino dark eyed baby male, and assorted hoods and solids. Colorations to please everyone…take your pick.
Also for adoption,  1 female adult, approx 4-5months old, hairless and of solid coloration.
All rattys are lovable and show great temperaments. They have been handled since birth and continue to be handled daily.  Even my two kids play with them with ease so they are child friendly.  Also, they are very healthy, with no respiratory issues as they have been kept on proper bedding. 
Adoption fee to ensure great home is required.  We want to make sure they are not used as feeders!  Our adoption fee will be a modest $8 each, $15 a pair, and if you want more than two, price is negotiable. 
Also, we currently have 3 set ups available for PAIRS only.  This set up includes: 2 same sex babies of your choice (same sex only because the majority of babies are too closely related to breed), 10gal aquarium, lid, water bottle, food dish, and your first round of bedding to get you going for $25. 
Please contact us at my email address bigdawgluv@gmail or my friend at dragana_the_purple@yahoo.com.  Due to hectic schedules please contact by email as someone will be checking emails several times a day.  We are in DALTON, GA (zip code: 30720 if you’d like to mapquest) and we prefer pick up close to the Dalton area, but delivery can be discussed based on location.
Come on…let a little nekkid rat love in your life…You Won’t Regret it )

Oh how I wish I could get them to you. Very few have found homes, which I was afraid would happen. I know I would be unable to make that far of a trip. I doubt my friend would be able to either. Does anyone know how transports work? I'm unfamiliar w/that aspect of fostering. I'll take any ideas anyone has as I've had others from far away inquire about the babies. Suggestions from any of you pros out there?

could we do a rattie train? what about shipping via fedex or something like that -- they do animals, no? i know its not the most desirable thing, but....

oh, i would give anything for a few of these ratties

once theyre in nashville, maybe somebody could bring them farther north? should i post to the rat-transport yahoo group? I'm truly interested in these babies, if we can find a way to get them to me.

i have a friend that's willing to pick them up from nashville and bring them to my area [terre haute, indiana]. the problem at this point is getting them to nashville at all. dana, are you interested in adopting? would you pick them up in nashville, if so?

works for me then. its all dependant on finding somebody to get them to nashville. help me search? lol.

i posted and i have somebody in virginia willing to take them about a hundred miles... but  i dont think that would get them to nashville. i have a friend in dalton that i may be able to bribe but... i dunno. we'll see.

OK I talked w/work yesterday and my friend last night and I'm not due any vacation time until my birthday later this month and that is when my family takes their annual trip to the mountains. My friend would said she could travel but could only go as far as Jasper or Mont Eagle. Beyond that it would be later in spring before I would have any time off. But if you'd like to talk w/my friend about meeting then you can email her at dragana_the_purple@yahoo.com
I'm sorry I'm unable to assist...I would love to but I'm sure my family wouldn't redirect their trip to Nashville instead. DARN! Never been there myself!
Well let me know if I can help in any other ways. Thank you!
(I'm also going to email her this thread and have her take a look and see what she may be able to do)

Actually I can take them to Chattanooga to meet someone.  Chattanooga isn't that far for me so I can at least get them that far North.

i would love a little hairless male. i'm all the way up by Chicago though.

I did some sweet talking at work and they gave me an extra day's vacation! WOO HOO! What can we set up for Friday Jan 18th? Can anyone meet me in Nashville on that day? I can transport rats that way and then still meet the family for our annual trip! Took some doing but I did   
Oh and whoever I meet in Nashville will have to navigate me because I have never been there before and I'm well "challenged" when it comes to directions 
So what can we work out on this crew?
Let's get us a ratty train going!
Post or Email and I'll try to keep checking back regularly!
You are all so so awesome to help w/all of this!
  Thank you Thank you Thank you! 

I am in Huntsville, ALabama.  I wouldn't mind adopting a couple of the same sex pair, if they're friendly.  I won't be able to do transporting since I have a car that is about to kick the bucket, but if someone is coming anywhere near here, I could help you by taking a few.  This is a long shot but I thought I would offer.
