Amazing Rats Need New Home ASAP!!
I have three amazing rats that need a new home. I have recently been asked to work more hours at work than normal, so I am just not home enough for them to get the proper care they need.
Their names are Castor, Cosmo, and Gimpy.
Castor is my favorite little guy. He is a black berkshire rex dumbo rat. He was born on May 7th, 2017. He does have a little eye issue though. Around 5 months ago, he was attacked by another cage mate I had at the time. Castor's eye burst and I had to rush him to an emergency vet. He was given eye drops and medicine to make the pain go away. The vet and I decided against removing the eye due to his size and the vet didn't want to risk it. Now, Castor's eye is healed, but he is blind in that eye. I also believe that his other eye has a cataract, but I'm not 100% sure on that. So in all, Castor is half-blind, but has no trouble getting around at all.
The next rat is named Gimpy. He is a black berkshire rex standard eared rat. He was born May 5th, 2017.
Gimpy got his name because when he was a newborn pup, his mother stepped on him and cut his leg open. Her nail ripped his thigh area open and Gimpy's leg was glued shut by the woman who was taking care of him. Gimpy's leg is fine now, and he walks on it like nothing traumatizing ever happened. Although, there is a scar where the cut was (it is obvious) **if you would like to see a picture, please text me**
The next and final rat is named Cosmo. Cosmo is the fattest and laziest out of all three. He is a Russian blue standard ear and coat rat. He was born May 7th, 2017.
Cosmo is very skittish and he wasn't handled much the first six weeks of his life. (For some reason, they failed to socialize him completely) Cosmo isn't afraid of people, just sudden movements. So at first, you may need to move slowly around him (or when picking him up) for the first couple weeks until he gets used to you.
They will come with their current cage, which is a single critter nation. (The cage brand new is around $200)
They will also come with any and all items I have purchased for them since I bought them. This includes:
* hammocks
* tunnels
* water bottles
* treats
* food bowl (it attaches to the cage)
* chew toys
* hanging toysView Detail
