I actually used to work for a rat rescue- the rescue would take in rats rescued from poor living conditions, once they were fixed and cleared of any illnesses or injuries we'd take them in until someone was interested in adopting them. It was pretty cool to work with them, & less commitment than actually owning rats, once we decided we were done we didn't have to rehome them, just found our current foster rats a home & then didn't take on any more. I'd totally recommend fostering to anyone else who likes rodents!

One of my best mouse sires (an up and comer, Gold Rush) has two litters down right now. They're coloring up and I am -so- excited to see what they look like. They are the first out of him and I can't even handle how excited I am. One is off a black tan doe and the other is a linebreed to his sister so I expect a lot of satin short ear beige pieds. So far it looks like 3 black tan and 3 banded and blazed blacks off the first litter, the second being so light often won't color out distinctively until day 6 or more and they're only day 3.
Cash, my favorite mouse buck and Gold Rush's Father and great grandfather (Gold Rush was linebred to produce him) passed on last week. I miss him. Abdominal cancer. He was an old boy and he was comfortable up to the end but I miss him anyway.
And one of my favorite rats isn't far behind. She's got tumors in her uterus. That's the hard thing with rodents..they live such short lives.
