Hi Laura, we are really interested in offering a home to a couple male rats but having seeing your rehoming application form, not because we cannot offer some of your rats good loving home. Its down to some of the questions on the form just don't feel you will like some of our answers to some of your vet questions as to be honest don't think some should be on the form. Yes ask if they have a vet & if they are rat friendly but that should be it as a lot of people have different views over vets & how much they are willing to fork out if a rat/rats comes ill, we have lots of experience in keeping rats & know a hell of a lot about them. We have done that thing were you are doing what you think is best for a rat that is ill, have forked out will over a £100 for treatment on a rat that we were getting told by the vet we were using at the time it was the best thing for the rat but we knew in our hearts that it was never going to make it but you put your trust in the vet, the rat in question had got a lump which was removed she had a weeks treatment & she came home to us after the week & died two days later in my arms. So now we limit the treatment we will allow the vet to do on our rats if we know in our hearts that were putting them through hell for nothing. We are just very lucky that we have found a vet that we trust 100% , she will listen to what we have to say & take it on board, then she will give us her advice, then let us make the right choice as like she always said to us "its only us who see how the rat/rats are coping at home". If we think treatment is going to help & we think its going to be a long treatment we ask now for a idea of cost as we now have a set limit on what we are willing to spend out but were not force into it, we are given a choice & thats the way it should be. Before people start jumping on us over this like I know some people like to do on here, will like to say this we love all over animals, they are well cared for they get the treatment if called for, we are also do our own in house cared of our pets & some of our treatment ideas we have come up with have been tried & used by our vet. Its also not about the money, we will happily pay for treatment if we know its going to help the animal in question but if we think treatment is not going to work or we are told the treatment will only in for a short period then we think what is best for that animal at the time. Its not something we like doing but it as to be done. Just got to think whats best for the animal.
