My dilemma is what to do with my sister's rat.
I have an FN 142 for my two girls but am only using the top section. One of my dogs loves to attack small animals and he cant reach the top part so until I move out or put up hardwire cloth on the bottom section they are staying on the top.
Anyways my sister has a rat who she really doesnt take care of too well (only giving her water when she noticed it was empty...usually could be days...
) So I started feeding her because i noticed she was REALLY skinny and giving her water. She has fattened up nicely. I introduced her once to my rats and although it didnt go as well as with my two girls introduction it didnt go bad either. I would love to put her into my FN so she could have playmates and toys (and constant food and water) but my sister has decided that the rat is a "lone rat". I think she is just afraid that the rat will not be hers anymore. And I am planning on moving out soon so i dont want the rat to have a nice cage and playmates just to go back to being a "lone rat" after I leave. I have tried to tell her that most rats like to be together and that it is one cage that she doesnt have to clean and take care of (she has two hamsters and two guinea pigs also) but she doesnt hear any of it...
What should I do? :?:
(BTW i referred to the rat as "the rat" to not confuse anyone with the pronouns...not to be mean...I am not sure of her name. I think it is milkshake though...)
