Rats-

In April 2009 we took a rat from Pets at home adoption, they claimed she was fine, but we knew she had mites which had to be treated. She was called Mia and 12 months old, she sadly passed away in the September, but managed to get her some friends from a rescue down in Surrey! There were no rescues with female rats up here. A friend was comimg up to Dundee from Surrey on the train. We met her at the station and took the 2 girls home, they were 12 months old to. We called the girls Karly and Fliss. Sadly we also lost Fliss in September 2009, but Karly is still with us. Karly was very lonely, so in October 2009, we adopted 2 more girls from Pet at Home, again they had untreated mites and 18 months old. We called one Ash and the other Una, and they have settled in well.

I have to admit, I never realised rats were such wonderful characters.

We were asked to take in Polly by Nykhola from Cossitted Critters so she could have some female company. Polly had been found as a stray outside the local PDSA along with her friend. Sadly her friend died and she was left without a friend. We lost Una shortly after Polly's arrival, so it is nice that Ash still has a friend.
