For us, our only 'issue' with girl rats is we don't want to worry about 'oops litters'.   So we figured if we ONLY have males in the house, no one can make babies.      

Those girls are so cute, too.    I can't believe there's not more interest in them.   

Kaytie,
Please email me more info on these girls. Im really interested in the blue and maybe a dumbo. Let me know how they are with people. And yes it looks like I will be getting a ferretnation myself...more room for fuzzbuts!


Thanks
Michelle

 Update:

Nina and Amy are on hold Southern IL

Blue female and dumbo - ( on Hold) michelleandMike

 I still have three of the 7-8 week old babies and one 3 month girl left.. Miracle as well needs a good loving home.

 All 4 of the girls do live together and i would like to adopt them out in pairs.

 i do like my boys but i like the energy the girls bring as well. I am taking in two 9 month females in late May early June and someone else wants me to find homes for her 2 boys and 2 girls why are there so many rats who need homes out there.  I hope my babies find good homes, i love them all so much. I just want what is best for them Miracle is going to be hard to place

he really isn't that bad, he is a good rat has never been aggressive to me when you pick him up he never stops moving just wants to explore, apart from his tail and his past there is nothing that different about him. He has really improved since i got him.  He will just have to be alone. I hope someone will take him he really is a good boy just needs someone to love him. A  little nerves of hands in the cage but again never shown any signs of aggression

I don't want to put my foot in my mouth here, but I am looking to get rats this summer. However, the situation is unstable and I cannot make any "for sure" commitments yet, but I am interested in at least 2 of your girls (if not all 4-- depends on the cage and bills).

I'm presently downstate IL but will be moving to Chicagoland area by May 20 (right after I graduate with my degree). If current negotiations continue smoothly, I will be picking up a cage around that time and modifying it as it presently has 1"x1" spacing. I have a vet in Arlington Heights in mind and intend to feed Suebee's mix with lab blocks (not sure which yet). I also intend to use fabric liners & Yesterday's News in a pan for bedding. Unfortunately, there are two very crucial things I need to make this work-- a secure job (filed 30 apps since Sunday) and a secure home (staying with a rat friendly pal until I find my own apartment). However if all goes well I will be contacting you again about these girls. <33

I know it's a lot of ifs, but I felt I at least needed to voice my interest and throw it out there.

Until then, could you clarify as to which ones are left? I know the 3 month old is (she's the one who caught my eye first <33 ) but I'm not sure about the younger crowd.

Thank you for your time and patience, and for all of our sakes I really hope this works out. I don't want to be another home that "fell through" and if somebody comes along and says "Yes! I can for sure take them!" then by all means let the little critters go to their new homes. There will always be more rats looking for homes in the Chicagoland area. <3

Thank you for the update. Fingers crossed I will have a more solid answer for you in 2 weeks <3

 the girls are living together. There are six girls in my exotics cage, they are not full grow and believe me it is a search to find them between the slide i took out of my old ferret cage, the large wheel and houses all over the place. They are spoiled, but are VERY sweet rats. I am keeping one of the dumbos, her sisters have the same personality, They love to come out and meet you, they love to be with you. Kara is the oldest by a few months but gets along well, she is from a my first foster litter that came from a bad home, her mom gave birth on the way to my job. Her personality is not as outgoing but she is very loving but nerves of unknown things. You need to give her a chance, while the 2 younger girls you could adopt them that day and they would want to play. Kara has her moms personality,  nerves of new things but once she does know you mean no harm she is right at the door to meet you. Her mom was the same way.  They really are very good rats, i wish i would keep them but it wouldn't be fair to them.

Thanks

Just wanted to update you on how the boys are settling in.   The blaze boy is doing great- it turns out he has the exact same personality as my Jacob, minus Jacob's obsessive licking.  (The "OMG YOU OPENED THE CAGE I'M COMING OUT IF I HAVE TO CLIMB UP YOUR ARM AND GET ON YOUR SHOULDER" personality.    )  I was going to call him Laurant, but now he's seeming like more of a Felix or a Fritz to me, so I'm still trying to decide.    My older boy were being a bit rough with him (No biting, just lots of wrestling) so I'm keeping him with the babies for now.  I wasn't worried about him being hurt, but I felt bad at the 4-to-1 wrestling match.    So I think I'll let them get used to him in the same room as them gradually, and then see about introducing him in.  Miracle is doing great, too!  He's so big and squishy, and bruxes the loudest I've ever heard any rat!  I have him in a large cage on his own right now, but once he's more settled in we'll get him neutered and try to find a girl or two to keep him company.  (Though, right now, I'm pretty much like "no more rats!" even though settling everyone in went better then could have been expected!)
