we have sort of a small rescue...we are not an official rescue, but we adopt the rats no one wants.
sophie (full name: sapphire): sophie we got from a petstore, with her sister amy (amethyst) and rosie (rose quartz). amy and rosie died from pneumonia, even after hundreds of dollars at the vets
sophie was also very sick, but we managed to save her. she is my hyper little brown rat, and at 1 year 6 months she is still bouncing around like a kid.
sam: we spotted sam in the feeder bin, a little scared albino who was so sick he could hardly hold his food. we told the store workers that he was sick, but they didnt care, so we took him home. it took about 2 months to get him to trust us enough to hold him, but we kept at it, and now he is over a pound, and loves nothing better than to lay on your arm and get pet for 15 minutes at a time. he is our "big squish"
the 3 Girls; turtle, peanut, and carmel: we adopted these 2 albino girls from the humane society. they had been there for months. when we brought them home they were very overweight, but now they love to trot around on the bed, and are much healthier and happier. they are our little ladies; they never run, just trot along.
princess and tinkerbell: we adopted them from a girl my sister knows. they are himilayans, so their fur is white but their noses are dark. they are the smallest rats we have, just about 9 ounces at a year old. we call them the "tiny-whineys" because they are tiny, and they squeak and squawk at each other all the time. they are seperated right now, but will be back together soon we hope.
templeton and annabelle: these two were available for free on the internet. annabelle is about sophie's size (maybe 11 ounces). she is a black-hooded rat, and a REX so her fur is all curly and so are her whiskers. templeton is a big boy already, he is maybe 8 months but he is over a pound like sam. both of them were very shy but are much better now.
