The new owner also agrees not to breed from the rat(s), or allow them to be bred from, and will not be dinner for a snake

Please ask for more information on them if interested.

Is the male Black & dark brown rats in the pics still available? as might be interested in offering them a very good loving home. We can only take male rats as we have male rats already, we have Scooby a normal rat, black/white he was rescued by us with is brother from a pet shop, sadly is brother died a day after we got them. They had no human contact & were very scared, Scooby is really lovely now as come on very well, he is a very sweet rat. Remy a male dumbo rat, he is white/cream markings, he was living with is brother but sadly he past away last year through illness, they again were rescued from a pet shop as they got to old & no one was interested, Remy is like a big piece of carpet lol & very sweet. Then there is Shelby,he white/grey markings, he was rescued from a pet shop this year, he had been attacked by another rat & didnt have much contact but he is very sweet friendly rat, he likes to lick u for some reason lol, since he as been with us he come on very well, he as even learnt now where the door is on is cage & comes to it to say let me out.

As you can see we are big rats lovers & we would give the rats a very good loving home for the rest of their lifes & we also have a very good vet who we have been with for a long time.

It looks like i have to do the ferret rescue tomorrow now instead of the 28th as its very urgent so im guessing things cant be worked out by then for me to do the rat train, plus i think ellesmere port its of to the side whereas im going straigh down if that makes sense.

I live in Preston City Centre.... you shouldn't do this to me! I am gonna talk it over with my flatmates...... but I'm not sure if they would let me as we already have a lot of animals.

I would even get rid of my 3 hamsters for 3 rats if thats what it took, because I love rats so much more!!!

I already have 2 boys, who are about 5 months old ish, would I be able to add more to the 'pack'?

I could easily get to Appley Bridge... isn't that on the train line from Southport to Manchester?

well im not being funny, but saying you would 'get rid' of some of your pets to get more is not a very loving caring attitude, if you came to my rescue saying that you wound be straight back through the door.

poor hammies

I agree with you 100% Pampered Pets, people like this make me sick, we dont run a rescue but we do rescue a lot of unwanted animals due to reasons like this!

I would never give them away to someone who wouldn't look after them ! I live in a house where there are so many animals, and would never harm them. I just couldn't have any more without getting rid of others because my housemate would go crazy, like she did when Cherrie_b got the mice!

My hamsters still get all the care they need, and massive amounts of money spent on them, so its not as if I don't care for them, I just like rats so much better because they are cleverer and build up more of a friendship with you meanwhile hamsters are more solitary. I don't find my hamsters as fulfilling as I do my rats but yet I have chosen to keep them, as I know there would be people that would a) use them for food, and b) mistreat them and I know with me that they get new cages every couple of months, get tons spent on them, and get the attention that they need.

I spent last night looking for a hamster of Cherries that had escaped to no avail, so please do not think for one minute that I don't care about them. I just do not find them as fulfilling as Rats, and if someone who wanted them, and was going to treat them with as much respect and care that I do, then I would let them have them because I know that they are going to a place that they will be cared for and not treated like other pets.

You can look at my other posts on here to see how passionate I am for the care of animals

Get the Hamsters to us, we will give them a very good loving home as with you they will not be loved like they should be. I think you should read over what you are writing before putting in here as can tell still doesnt come cross that your a very good animal lover.

I to have been looking for a rescue hamster, id gladly give one a home as well.

I have no doubt you feed and water them well but you really dont seem to understand what you are writing, you cannot love your pets if you want to discard them for a more interesting species.

Id love a horse, financially impossible with all my other pets....i wouldnt even ever have a moments thought to 'get rid' of my other animals so i could have a horse.

what happens if you find something more interesting than rats?

You have two offers of homes there for your unwanted hamsters, id gladly pick them up and meet gecko somewhere.

Thanks for the offer. We will glady meet if we it means these hamsters get loving homes. This just makes us so angry just to get some more rats she is willing to just give her hamsters up like that. I just hope her offer to re-home some rats is refused.
