Ratties

We took in 20 rats yesterday. Big thank you to volunteer Beth for driving to Greece, Ny and back to rescue them! There are 17 males and 3 females, and unfortunetly the females were with the males. We have them seperated now from the boys now, but they will be on pregnancy watch for a while. There are dumbo and regular eared ones, and many different colors and patterns. Some are adults and some are younger. They are all 100% adorable! They are quite thin. They ate all of the food I gave them last night, so I don't think lack of appetite is the problem, may have been lack of food. Once they fill out a little and we know there aren't any health issues, the males will be up for adoption. Once the females complete pregnancy watch and are not pregnant, they will be adoptable. If any of the females have babies, they won't be adoptable until their babies are weaned. Then the babies will likewise be adoptable when they are old enough.
