Blog author 30 Oct 2007 12:39 | My blog RATSstill haven't managed to get my rat cage but am resigned to the fact that i will just have to wait for zooplus to get their new stock in - god knows how long that will actually take though!!!
we went to raystede on sunday to decide which rats we would actually re-home. there was a pair of girls but they were a bit too active for us (what with having cats and all!), a lovely male with a female - REALLY like him but again, she was very active and a bit of an escape artist so no go there! a group of 2 males, a group of 3 males, 2 of which were dumbo x husky rex's, a male on his own waiting to be mixed with either a female or some baby males, and the baby males. unfortunately, we had to decide not to get the babies as they were just REALLY quick and i can't bear risking one of them escaping and being eaten all up! they were so pretty though, fantastic colours, lots of silvery greys, my favourite!! after much umming and ahhing we decided to go for the 3 boys (including the 2 dumbos - danny particularly wanted dumbos anyway so...) unfortunately we couldn't take them straight away as they need a final vet check. they have lent us a cage until ours arrives - whenever that may be - and so i am now frantically buying lots of things to go in the cage and food and stuff, and hopefully we can collect them at the weekend :-) am ever so excited!
this really will have to be the last animal addition to the household though!! |
