Colours: Some have slight hoods. Neutered: No Reason for rehoming: Unwanted accidental litter. Temperament: Mostly friendly, slightly nervous. Medical problems: See info below please. Neutering: NA Will the group be split: If going to experienced owners with other rats. Transport available: Can be arranged. Other Info: - These guys aren't ready for rehoming yet, but I'd like to get homes lined up as early as possible. They are still in quarantine, but also some of them have wounds that need to heal. - Evidently these rats had been fighting in their previous home, probably over food; as a result many have bite wounds, mostly around their neck and ears. - Because of the fighting I would prefer them to go in pairs than as a large group. (Nb, they have not actually fought since they've been here) - Pumpkin (female) had many bite wounds. She has a lot of scar tissue around her neck. She will need to go to someone who is prepared to moisturise that area frequently so that she has no problems with it. - Jigsaw (male) has a very damaged ear. He may need surgery on it before he leaves here. The ear is in such a way that it might or might not get caught on something at some point in his life. (Pictures will help when I take them). He needs to go to someone who is prepared to have the ear surgically repaired if he should get it caught later on in life; so you will need to have a rat savvy vet. - Squeak (male) has two encapsulated abscesses on his lower abdomen. They are causing no harm other than soreness, but my vet wishes to remove them before he finds a new home. As such he will not be available for a few weeks. - All have been health checked by two of my vets; apart from the bite wounds and Squeaks abscesses they appear to be in good health. - If anyone is interested in any of the hairless I would like to hear what you know about caring for hairless. - I will be seeking donations for these rats, as they're already costing us a fortune lol. Incidentally, I am not an expert on hairless rats. My own hairless have no fur at all except for facial whiskers. The rats I am advertising here have a slight fuzz on their faces, and fuzzy tummies .. I am therefore not 100% certain that they are hairless, but they are not double rex, so I am not sure what they are. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
