Yup, Wicked is adopting ratties! Im so very excited.
Im going to be adopting 2 boys from the Houston Rat Rescue. There are currently 8 3week old males for adoption. Im probably going to be adopting an agouti and a fawn.. Maybe around mid-December.
Im going to be ordering Harlan food- I think. I am slightly torn between that and oxbow regal rat but supposedly Harlan is the best.
The cage is going to be amazing. I was origionally planning on making a mesh grid C&C cage but oddly my grandpa wants me to get a 'real' cage. He doesn't mind rats in the house but he doesn't want them escaping and running loose- he is a bit scared of that. Its actually a really really good thing for me and the rats! Im going to get a Ferret Nation cage for them! Its 25in x 36in and 64in tall. The greatest cage ever! He is even loaning me the money until after Christmas because- sadly work closes Thanksgiving - Christmas.
This is the cage I will be getting (example pic):
Here is a 'baby proofed' one. Ill have to do something similar for the first few months.

I will be trying to use fleece. I hope they aren't chewers.
Um.. Im also ordering some toys.. a hideyhouse, maybe an octiplay ferret house thing (custom type to match the hidey). I want to make some fleece ropes too to run the length of the cage.
Names I thinking about so far.. Open to suggestions..
-Jasper and Jinxx (my faves)
-Spike and Fang (my grandpas faves)
-Dippi and Doodah (my grandmas faves)
-Dimitri and Doyle (my friends faves)
I also like the name 'magic' but cannot think of a second name that would sound cute with it.
