TOO MANY RESCUES! Rats, and degus..........it's never ending. :(

Well a few days ago I took in a pair of rescued degus, in very poor condition. They are extremely greasy, thin and were being fed rat and hamster food, totally unexceptable! :mad:


The good news is that I already have a prospective adopter! :D They are very skittish but I think after some good nutritous food, being taken off cedar and socialized they will come around. The person is coming over today to look at them.


I also took in some more rescued rats, a litter of babies and their mother. They are being quarantined for the moment so hopefully they will check out healthy. :) I am going ot upload some pics, so enjoy looking at them. They are just darling!

Here you can see how skinny the one degu is. Sorry about my camera string. :o It's hard to not get it in the pics....

Here is the mom to the babies, cute! :D

Omg, cute baby ratties!!! :D Are you going to keep any of them? they are adorable! You can't find sweeties like those in the pet shops or shelters around here.

Poor degus. :( Atleast they are off to a good brand new start. :)

I think I am keeping two babies and the mom. The mom is going to go in with my hairless girl Wrinkles, after they all pass quarantine. :D I have wanted another nude girl for Wrinkles for a long time lol.


I am keeping a boy and girl, and maybe another baby boy if he turns out to be double rex. They do have a slight ped and are healthy, so I might be breeding them.........and they may be lilac too! :)
