Not really, their rats are only from 2013-14, while you have a 09 rare. Also, rats have terrible demand.

You're overpaying, only the Wolf PPS is on the main list, the rest are advents, while the Blue toxic is on the main list, 14 tiers above the Wolf PPS

Unfair to you, the SUnjewel is a few tiers above the Coontail, and there are only Advents and September list's mixed in there, nlt adding up to a Sunjewel. The commons wouldn't add up to it, either.

any help would be appreciated!

Unfair to you, your dog I believe is a 08 or a 09 vr and the bat would not be lower then 2010 and the dog does not fill the gap.

What could be added to fill the gap?

I would like to attempt to illustrate why no one should ever say this. A large part of pet demand is word of mouth and has nothing to do with how many people actually want a pet. A user recently made a very accurate post describing this exact thing. You can find the original post here: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=2586909&p=82330852#p82330852

One of the best examples of word of mouth having an impact on demand I could find were the Grinners. Everyone knew that 'Grinners have bad demand' so nobody would trade fairly for them...yet EVERYONE was making offers. Everyone was lowballing me trying to get my grinners cheap or, when I'd make a fair offer, rejecting because of their 'bad demand'. They were on every wishlist and plenty of folks came looking.

Grinners don't have bad demand at all in my experience. I traded a Green plus a few rares for a Purple Bat Dog and I traded a Pink for four Nick Cake dogs (all of which found pretty swift homes as well). Actually it's when I trade for a pet that supposedly has 'high' demand I have an awful time trading it off.

Therefore, "bad demand" is mostly an excuse people use to not pay fairly for a pet, whether they are aware of it or not. So saying rats have bad demand is both incorrect and detrimental to the whole rat trading situation. You probably only say it because that's what you've heard. So you repeat it and someone else sees that and repeats it, over and over causing the "Grinner syndrome" Syn outlined in the quote above. So don't say that about rats. Plenty of people like them and collect them, or have them and just want to trade them off fairly.
