Not to be mean but this is one reason why I don't really like people giving pets are presents to friends. Now look. This poor girl was adopted, thinking she finally got into a home away from a petshop, and now she either is going back to the petshop or to a guy who breeds? What if that guy breeds her? She's hairless, and hairless should only be bred by people who know what their doing. It's sad. This girl thought she was going to have a home, and now she is going to be even more stressed out! First at where she was born, then shipped off to the petshop, then to Jordan's, then to Jynelle's and then to who knows where else!

Please do not buy a pet as a present again unless the person is willing to make a FULL commitment to the animal. Make sure it's a male next time, or make sure the person will take the animal even if it is a female. It's just not fair to the animals involved. If you want to get her a rat or some other pet again, take her to go pick it out so you can possible avoid this problem in the future.

Why don't you go ahead and contact Ayri at Whispering Wise Rattery and tell her I told you guy's to ask if she could rescue him. She's a breeder, but will NOT use her for breeding, and she's a friend of mine who takes very good care of her ratties and also knows several people who do rescue. I just want this girl to find a good home. She can get you in touch with Lizzy if she can't take her, as Lizzy runs the Homefinders? pet rescue.

Jordan, you comparing your hairless girl to one of Elizabeth's rats is like comparing cheap whiskey to champaign. The hairless girl came from a petshop most likely, well obviously from a petshop/feeder breeder, and Elizabeth's rat are well pedigreed, extremely healthy HUGE rats. Have you looked at her pedigrees? She has some of the best lines in the US. Her rats are going to be healthier, therefor larger. But you said your rat is bigger, and to me she looks around 7-8 weeks of age.
