Hello All,

Oh man! How long have I been saying "No more rats! My heart can't take the
losses?" - Well, my heart can't take the thought of ratties being unloved
either!!! LOL

I usually only browse around the rat rehoming page, I'm only keeping
updated!! *grin*
They never have rats for rescue in my area, but low and behold this week
...... 2 little boys available for loving! Their teenage owner has started
college and has lost interest! Little rats are kept in kitchen being looked
after by lad's mum and she isn't a rat fan! I can't leave them there! Before
I could close the screen my fingers were emailing her! Damn it!!

Several emails and info chats later - They have said I can have the boys!!
Picture is in Webshots :-) They are called Belle and Sebastian, and yes
Belle is a boy but the previous owner wanted to keep the theme of the
cartoon! He thinks they are over a year but under 18 months! I'm hopefully
getting them at the weekend. They are giving me their large cage too, which
will really help for separation and introductions! I hope my current boys
like them, but they can be very shirty! Slowly, slowly with vanilla essence
but I guess if they have to be kept apart it isn't the end of the world.
I'll divide my time :-)

If you guys in the UK want to rescue ratties, do try this site - It's
brilliant and regularly updated! www.ratrehome.co.uk

Enjoy! :-)
