I hope someone can give her a home and a friend.

 

I know right :/ I don't see how these people can live with themselves as the first thing I heard about rats was 'don't get just one!'
I've spent hours trawling classified sites and some of the adverts are downright depressing. Like someone getting rid of 2, 2 year old girls because 'my daughter doesn't want them anymore' you have a pet 2 years and decide you don't want it? *shakes head*
Or the one keeping a single lone rat in a tiny (we're talking hamster sized) cage. Poor ratties

 

I do not understand how people get animals and first of all don't read anything about them and two don't care enough about them to make them happy. Is that not the point of owning a pet? I feel that making my pets happy, makes me really happy. I just don't understand people sometimes.

Personally, my one rattie has even too much stuff in his cage. He has 4 hanging toys, a tunnel, two boxes, a hammock, alfalpha chews, bedding, cloth, the works. He will be getting a companion in the future, but for right now I know he is extremely comfortable and happy. Plus his cheerio snacks are making him happy. I take pride in knowing I take care of my pets, why can't other people do the same?

*endrant*

 

This is really sad...I don't see this much where I live. In fact I have been trying to find an older rat to adopt as a friend for my single rat for a couple months now, but there aren't any . I know its a good thing that there aren't a bunch of rats being dumped where I live, but its frustrating to not be able to find a single female rat, and to have to watch my rat be lonely.

 

I hope someone adopts her and loves her for the rest of her life

 

I don't wanna sound mean or anything like that and I know some have kept them single,but with my work shedual and what not I can only give mine an hour too two of playtime don't get me wrong I only work 5 hours too 7,but I like mine too have company which is another reason why I had my boys neautered because too me they need cagemates. I have seen a change from lone rats too a companion rat and they are so much happier!

 

That's so sad. I saw a similar ad today, butit was a 1 year old male who had been kept as a lone rat since they got him. It's so frusterating! I wish people would at least do some research before they get a pet. And commit to it.

 

There should be some sort of testing system to only allow qualified people to own pets. It boggles my mind as to how little people know about the pets they have! Rats included. Pets are a responsibility that should not be taken lightly. Our little creatures depend on us!

 

Where I'm at I see adds on Craigslist for rats, ferrets, hedgie, dogs n cats, birds etc.. added on a daily basis =[
