3 New Ratties will be Coming Home Tonight!!
« on: September 17, 2012, 10:36:33 AM »
I'm adopting 3 beautiful female rats tonight! They are all over a year, and apparently very friendly. Their owner moved and couldn't take them with her, so she dropped them off at a rabbit rescue in Jersey. I'll be driving 2 hours to newark, nj tonight to pick the little darlings up! I'm so freaking excited!! I'll post pictures once they are home!!

The ladies are home and they're adorable!! The cage they came in is too small, and I'm going to upgrade asap! They have nothing fun in their cage right now, I ordered some hammocks and fun stuff from the rat stash but they won't be ready till middle of october, so if any one has any relatively cheap premade hammocks it would be fabulous!

Now on to the girls! I've had them for 4 hours and they're personalities are already shining through!

First is Ari - she's a ball of energy, is fine being picked up but would rather be running around!






Then Lucy - She is a shy little thing, squeaks when picked up like you're going to eat her, but calms down eventually, she's definitely the most shy and timid of the 3!




And Isis - She's a cuddle bug squish butt, loves to be held and loved on!





And their cage

Ari's markings are adorable! And a baby girl that likes being held?   :heart:

Regarding quick hammocks, I can highly recommend RatAttackTeam ( http://www.etsy.com/shop/RatAttackTeam ). She ships premises on the same day if you order early enough, and makes customs within a day or two. AND they're cheap and of fantastic quality (some of the best I've seen!). Can't recommend her work enough.
