      Yep, rescued 40... got them rehomed (as had 20 - 40 of our own rescues, to then end up rescuing and paying a ton for over 200 rats, for the rescue to take (they agreed) the next day, we then went and rescued way more and throughout adopting them out, some of them had actually adopted some of the 200 from that rescue :D, tbh it's the same with all pets, u end up having more than expected

    It's great to see how U set up a cage and carefully handle unfamiliar rats. They appear to be excited, content, and pleased with their new environment and nutritional diet. I know they are very fortunate and lucky to be in your care. 😇

    They are incredibly cute!! My last rescue was the same age when I got him (and he was severly injured because the shelter didn't care about introducing rats to each other before randomly putting them in a cage together) and he looked just as scared in the carrier. He became a super playful, sweet, curious and friendly rat though, intros went so well and he's doing great! I can't wait to see your new boys meet the others! ♥

    I swear every rat we have was like "oh we just got another rat" and my husband's like "How?!?!!"
    We adopted a "problem rat" from the pound, he is missing a tail, but he is the best little boy ever and we named him Frank. Yesterday we adopted Mortimor, so now we need a brother for him. It always works out tho

    My first group of rats were from p@h and they will always hold a special place in my heart. They ended up living until they were all three years old, had very little health issues and were the friendliest mischief I’ve had. I was very lucky to have had them ❤️

  • @TearsOfEternity

    Also wanted to add that you talk to your rescues the same way I do. 🥰

  • @vixxenreigns
    @vixxenreigns 2 года назад +36

    Awwww....they don't even realize how loved and well-taken care of they are going to be yet. Here in Oregon we have a LOT of problems with backyard breeders, people rescuing feeders and dumping them because they can't handle them, pet stores selling supposed same sex pairs that are actually a male and now pregnant female. A lot of people dump them because they either can't handle them and they are biters and just all sorts of stuff. Pet stores here suck. They don't give proper information and don't even know how to sex them. So needless to say rescues and fosters are overrun with rats. Please please please people...do NOT get rats from pet stores, backyard breeders or feeder bins....you are just asking for trouble. Get your rats from reputable and ethical rescues and reputable and ethical breeders. Also, for the love of Gaia.....DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE GETTING ANY ANIMAL.

      Had a single rat also, that was 30 odd years ago. Kept him in a four foot tank, did all the things your not supposed to do today, sawdust, no free roam, but I loved him. The wife didn’t which was a shame. Have 4 lady rats now, big cage, doing it the right way now. Thanks to Emiology and other pro’s.

    I recently got a new baby rat as well, Wasn't expecting to get a baby rat that day but a little feeder girl showed up and I couldn't resist the squirmiest half bald(she has grown hair since no clue what's wrong with her) feeder rat baby. She's a bit shy with humans but extremely rat social which I wanted, she's gotten my least rat social rat interacting with her which makes me so happy that my older rat finally has a friend. My most playful rat finally has a playmate that can keep up to her speed. It's just nice to find a perfect fit for your group randomly in a lone feeder rat.

  • @pokabrows

    When I rescued my sweet Freddie they were feeding him peanut butter sandwiches. He calmed way down once I got him on proper rat food. I think all the sugar was making him hyper.
    I'm impressed you weigh them without even trying to stick them in a bowl or something.
    They're so cute. I love hooded rats. I haven't had them in forever.

I’m gonna have to put mesh around the outside of it. zipties really are the ultimate rat product

    Great work!
    I just bought 9 ratties who were destined for snake food.. 5 boys & 4 girls. Have had rats before this but have never seen ratty love like the girls have, one's bossing me around - bites my toes if I don't pick her up after her staring at me for minutes.. the other three are warming up with two zooming around the house & playing hide & seek with me, the last is quite shy but I'm sure she'll warm up soon enough.
    The boys are shy too but they're becoming more relaxed with me.
    All this in a week, so glad they're with me.

    most of my rats came from situations like this. i'm reminded of my first two male rats. the previous owner said they gave them up because of an allergy, but it was clear the owner went to the petstore with no prier knowledge about rats. the rats had mites and they were in a small cage (that was technically sold as a rat cage) hamster accessories. it would've been fine if they were tiny six week old rats, but at 12 weeks they were already growing out of it. they were fed bread just like these two boys

    One small tip for weighing them; use a bowl or tupperware container to keep them on the scale! You can tare out the weight of the container for an accurate reading. A little bit of food on your finger will convince them to stay still long enough for reading too!

They were sisters and were absolute sweethearts, one was deformed at birth so she was missing one of her front legs and had a stump instead but it didn't stop them from being just darlings. I wish I had time and money for rats again, I miss their little faces. But like you mentioned at the beginning of the vid, money crisis atm.

    @daqtaghhasfibers 2 года назад +1

    They are way too cute. I am a sucker for rescue rats too and try to rescue rather than buying from a bad breeder even though they most of the time come from just such breeders. I do buy from good breeders as well to get a good balance with rats that have not been through a terrible situation. Some of the most cuddliest and best tempered of mine have actually come from breeders that the rats have been removed from and the breeder have been shut down and fined.

    • @Emiology

I don't think I'd be able to provide a perfect stress free environment to a group of rats, so I've ended up with a hamster which I love, and only watch your videos about rats and follow some local breeders for cute pictures :D That being said, just please keep doing what you're doing, you're awesome and you're feeding my rat interest very well :D
