For those who have not been here, i had a offer to take in more than 10 rats from a breeder who basically happen to have snakes.. I was not about take in some odd number over 10 with females that were heavly pregant also included it would have been nuts and unrealistic especally since i have 14 of my own rats and 7-10 fosters in my  care getting ready to be sent to there new homes. The rats are all dumbo, a few dumbo rex blue and rex dumbos.  There are over 5 litters being born or have been born from this group, sadly the breeder did not split up male and females so almost all females are having babies. Here is the response i got from T when i emailed her to find out who was still left.

"Dear Kayte,

I received seven females (six of them visible pregnant) and two adult males, all housed together, on Saturday. Of those, the two males and four of the females have already found homes, though of course their owners will have babies to adopt out later. The remaining three females are here. One of those is giving birth as I type this message. The other two are so heavily pregnant that I do not plan to move them. I will be adopting out the babies for all three rex litters litters, PLUS the ten day old litter I currently have on hand. "

As you can see the only rats left are all ready to have their babies if you live close by and have experience or want to gain experience of caring for a litter and adopting out the babies please let me know.

Thanks for helping out and i will keep you posted as i get information, Also if anyone wants to donate any extra cages or just about anything to help us out that would be great.

I should have a spare cage for a pair if you need a foster and were willing to get out to Rockford again. 

Though, I have to  warn you that I have an intense soft-spot for rexes.     So I can't guarantee one or two wouldn't end up staying.    Any idea on their handleability/personalities?  (Just hit me up with more info.)

I would like to know if you could find out. Would also like to know their general disposition and handability. I'm kind of considering adoption but unsure. I've always loved agouti rexes and the dumbo is an extra bonus <3 he/she is just adorable but I like to stick to one sex for safety reason and have all males.

I was wondering the same thing.  Why would you want to give this person your money?  Just to get some "pretty" rats?  She's just going to turn around and use that money to breed a bunch more rats to replace any you buy from her, and make a tidy profit from it as well.   

I don't believe it's possible to breed for temperament, health, longevity, etc. when you're breeding for snake food (and breeding high whites and odd-eyes, as well).. it's just not possible if you're eliminating any of your offspring, whether some actually go as pets and live a long time or not.  I don't personally agree with giving this "breeder" a bunch of money.   Even if you "like her results."  If she does want them to go as pets and is stopping breeding, why is it a matter of "give me x amount of money or else these rats will be food"?

At any rate, just be aware of potential issues with megacolon, as several of those rats are high-white (and odd-eye).  Particularly if there are babies.

 For those who do want to adopt. The rats have been remove from the breeder and are staying with 3 different people so that no one had to take on 10 rats at once or more.  Personally i have 3 babies, 2/3 may already have homes, i will get an update on how the others are doing soon i have a dumbo rex female blaze face who is 5-6 weeks old ( very small), she is living with a sister and sligtly older female  very happy and running in her wheel. Please let me know if anyone wants to know more about the pictures at the top of  tread.

THanks

I got a blue rex dumbo girl from this group who had been living with males and is more than likely pregnant, but not showing yet.  I'm sure babies will arrive soon enough though.

Thank you for helping out

   Please mark me as interested in an affectionate girl!

So out of the pictures that you have there are none for adoption?   

I really liked the last 4 girls/boys are they gone already?

ok thats great they all found homes.   Does any pregnant female need a foster home? I would love to foster one or a few for you guys.

SD is a long way from here and that kind of trip would not be healthy for a female who could be in labor at any moment, i would just wait till the babies come and see if there are a few you like and maybe than get a train  together but for right now lets just wait and see.
Would everyone rather have all the litters post here as they are born or have a separate thread for each litter?

so that is 6 litters ! okay there will be plenty of babies to go around .. Just let me know if anyone wants to adopt i think at least i will go around and get pictures of each litter as they are born with their mama and than maybe have each litter split off into different post so everyone isn't confused
