Hi all - I'm new here and hope I'm posting in the right spot! We have a wonderful 1 yr. old rat, Rascal, whom we need to give away. I'm the 'caretaker' mommy and pet lover, but we've found out I'm also very allergic to him. I used to let him sit on my shoulder while I sat at the computer, or on my lap while I watch tv, etc., but now I break out into painful, itchy red welts all over my arms, neck, and throat. (anywhere he touches) I've also developed severe dry-eye, which my dr. thinks is due to the allergy. Someone local has expressed interest in him, but I know her husband has a snake, and just had a bad feeling, so I said no. We're holding on to Rascal until he has a good home, but meanwhile he's not getting much love or playtime, since that depends on me and those welts just keep me away!
Basics - he's a white, black-hooded, part fancy, part Rex rat, bought from a pet store about a year ago. We figured he was born in July. His whiskers curl towards his nose, which is really cute, and he loves to be held and given seed treats. Please let me know if you're interested or just need to know more. He's a sweetheart, and I just want him to have more interaction and playtime than we can give him. Thank you! (
