We have 9 little bundles of joy that we would like to place in a good home. We are located in Alliston, Ontario. They are now about 3 weeks old. Call 705-435-4764 and ask for Jes. > We have 9 little bundles of joy that we would like to place in a good > home. > We are located in Alliston, Ontario.

Girls should stay with mom until 6 weeks for good socializing and boys should be removed at 4 1/2 but kept with you for better socializing too. Are you a breeder? Or was this an accident? If it's an accident you can go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Canada-Rat-Adoption/ and post your adoptions there.

Thanks very much for the link. :D ~Jessica > > We have 9 little bundles of joy that we would like to place in a good > > home.

Hi Joanne, Just a question for you, At 4 1/2 weeks is it OK to put the young males back in with their father who is presently living alone? Is there any dangers in doing something like this? That way all the females and all the males would be together in two very large cages.

If the father is very docile, you can definitely try it. If he's more aggressive than don't do it. You can do an intro outside the cage and see how he reacts to the little guys and if all goes well, then you can put them together. How old is dad?

The dad is 3 months old. > > Hi Joanne, > > Just a question for you, At 4 1/2 weeks is it OK to put the young males [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > guys and if all goes well, then you can put them together. > How old is dad? > Hey, thanks for the advice. The dad is 3 months old. The babies should be fine with him then. I hope your mom was older than 4 months. It's not good to breed a female under 4 months of age. Ideally, your male should have been much older too so you can see what undesirable genes he could have passed on to his kids. Good luck with the litter and finding new homes!
