Aww how sad. This happened quite a few years ago where I used to live in Oxton, we took them in and they were the most wonderful pets ever. They are incredibly clean, they clean their own cage out moving and dirt and muck to one corner. They used so sit on my shoulders watching what I was doing and occasionally squeaking in my ears. I really wish I lived somewhere that allowed pets, I would take these in a heartbeat. I hope someone comes forward.

Good News Sallybear they have now gone to a lovely new home with experienced owners smile the power of facebook!!
We used to keep rats and ur right they are very much misunderstood. Would love to have kept these as they where so friendly and tame but we no longer have the equipment.
Having done my homework i'm confident they have found a forever home.

I know this is a bit longwinded but I had a homecheck done for a dog from the Little Dog Rescue. The lady who came out rescued domestic rats and lived in Moreton. If you go on their website or ring they may have her details

I've had pet rats in the past. They are the most fantastic creatures who love human company once they become used to you. Incredibly clean to a point they will thoroughly groom themselves after you've handled them. The only problems with them is that they will chew through anything including wires, & they have very weak bladders which means they are almost constantly peeing. Glad they've been re-homed.

Eek.....I am one of those people who dousn't like rats but unsure why?

Was the Daily Mail or The ... involved in the demonisation of rats?? think

Anyhow, I'm glad these animals have now got a forever home. How cruel to dump a 'domesticated' wild animal-thats just evil. Horrid people out there.

So pleased they have a home. The lady who did my home check also said what lovely creatures they were. They had them initially because of allergies and couldn't have other pets. Clean and friendly etc. She had made a play area for them with a sandpit. I would never have though of them as pets until I talked to her
