Re: I've Rescued a Rat and i've never owned one before

That's so awful...RIP Nippy.

I'm so sorry, you did the very best you could for him. Now I hope the RSPCA actually does something about it since there IS a dead animal involved - that's usually what it takes for them to do a thing...

RIP Nippy......

He had a good last few days I am sure..

Now if you report him to the RSPCA they may ask for his body as evidence.....
Good luck with what ever you decide...

Some people dont deserve to breath let alone own pets..

Big hugs to ya.. xxxx

omg I've only just found this thread. Nippy was beautiful, and I bet he was really grateful to have you for the small amount of time he did. Its so nice of you to rescue him... once I found 4 Nippy coloured rats in a tied carrier bag It reminds me of that. Im really sorry to hear what happened, I truly am I've cried a few tears for your Nippy

R.I.P little one Run free with all the ratties in rainbow bridge and look after my boys and girls

@everyone bad mouthing the RSPCA-- don't be so silly! Maybe they're not as active in cities but up here they're brilliant. You call them about anything, they act upon it. My sister's ex best friend rang them about us and they came round -- obviously it was a faux case.

I saw some comments saying the RSPCA don't do a very good job.

Re: I've Rescued a Rat and i've never owned one before

I've just read through all of this, it sickens me that anyone could poison their pet why couldnt they have just taken him to a rescue ffs?

Well done for taking him in when he needed someone on his side, you did your best and im sure he was happy to have a warm, safe loving home in the end even if it was only for a few days.

I just cant stop crying over Nippy's story I hope the RSPCA get justice for poor little Nippy.

RIP little one, Run free at Rainbow Bridge with all of your fuzzy friends. xxx

Re: I've Rescued a Rat and i've never owned one before

Oh no! I just checked in on this thread again to see how he was doing, the poor little thing. I think the last memories he had were of a loving person and a loving home, you did the right thing.

Re: I've Rescued a Rat and i've never owned one before

Thanks everybody, I really appreciate all the support. I still so angry that my husband doesn't want me to even speak to the people in question until i calm down
I miss him already even though I only had him 4 days.

I'm fortunate that I at least got some pictures although he looks a bit spikey but at least it's something.
just frustrated at the whole thing, We've buried him now I'm not sure if I want to dig him up and disturb him again, He's guarded by our big stone dragon (Dave ) in the garden.

On the upside, having Nippy for a couple of days realyl opened my eyes to just how lovely Rats are, I've had a nose through some of the phot galleries on here and some of your Rat's are gorgeous!!! Maybe one day I shall have a pair of my own.

Can I just say want a lovely group of people you are, I really appreciate all your help. thank you
