My mini herd's cage is now a 3x5 with the 2x2 hay bin on the side as an "L" shape....
It's forever changing! This cage has been a 2x4, 2x4 with 1x2 loft, 2x5, 2x5 with 1x2 Hay bin on the side, 2x4 with 1x2 hay on the side and a 1x2 bunkbed on the side to a 3x5, a 3x5 with a 2x2 loft, 3x5 with a 2x3 loft, and a 3x5 with a 2x5 loft...Phew!!

So a lady who helps with the NZ Rat Rescue ordered a rat hammock from me, and any way in the last rat rescue they'd left a male self black there...the owner said they could take him as well but they didn't.
Anyway.
I emailed her asking if the self black she'd talked about on the Rat forum had gotten a home *not knowing they hadn't picked him up* and she said...
I didnt take him, hes still with the old owner but she did ask me if i wanted him. i can get him for you if u want but
Chester (Was called Theo) has joined the rescue after his young owner lost interest in him.
The boy was born around june/july 2009. When he got dropped off, he had mattes in his hair, way over grown toe nails, boy parts were just a mess (that was a stinky job!).
I had to quickly get to work and give him a bath (Dirt was everywhere on the poor guy), mega hair cut because of all the mattes, nails clipped and boy parts cleaned (4 years worth of icky stuff stunk!).
Take pictures!!
Oh...and sleep..
We had to do a long-ish car drive for mums work to go From Auckland to Napier back to Auckland.
