I've been contacted by another rescue this morning regarding 50 rats being surrendered early next week. Between us we don't have the space for them all. Obviously, we're going to remove all of the rats, and do our best by them, but we're hoping to find alternative rescue spaces for many of them.
There are both male and female rats. The person who owns them says that they are exercised together but no hanky panky takes place. As such, I would be warned that there could be pregnant rats. They're in Tipton by the way. I'm near Lichfield, and the other rescue is in Telford. If anyone can help, or thinks they know anyone who can help do please contact me  Thank you, Nim |

QUOTE (hadrena @ Feb 5 2010, 10:22 PM)  how quick to you need to move them We're going to pick them up on Monday (all being well). So, Monday evening onwards really. There isn't suitable cage space here for them, but they're going to have to go in the unsuitable cages until they can be transported to some decent rescue spaces

Ok. Thank you
We're going to be picking them up on Tuesday now. The update I had yesterday (second hand info you understand) is that there are 20 rats in a two to three foot cage, but he's uncertain of how many rats there are. This suggests to me that the rest are loose. He originally said that there were around 50. I'm having scary images in my mind of us chasing rats all over the house to try and catch them. I hope this won't be the case. I've lined up spaces for a few of them. Hadrena is hopefully *fingers crossed* going to foster for the other rescue that is doing this with me. I'm taking rehome applications for them too now. Obviously I can't just deliver them to new homes like I can to rescue spaces, but I'm taking applications and will be arranging homechecks for anyone interested. Even though we don't know what we're expecting we've had some interest

Hi, sorry I only just got the update from the forum (for some reason my email doesn't download properly). yes, all of these guys found rescues spaces It's a really sad story all round really, but we did at least get a lot of the rats out of the place. |
