hey all,
as much as it breaks my heart to do so, I must put my pet rat (Jerry) up for adoption, as I've developed pretty bad allergies to them. I've had pet rats since 2005 (while at school) and they're a blast.. very personable, intelligent, affectionate and playful. The last rat left is Jerry. his cage mate (Tom) had to be put to sleep this past thurs, as he was going into acute respiratory distress (a common killer in rats from an innate microorganism called Mycoplasma).. I've taken extremely good care of my boys.. his living quarters will accompany him to his new home, as will all of his food and CareFresh bedding. (which you must also promise to use - NO pine or cedar bedding.. it's toxic to them)..
If you do take my Jerry, you must promise you will get another rat - a young male as that's the only one that will be able to coexist w/ a male of his age (he's 8 mons old). Rats are very social creatures, and keeping one alone is equivalent to a person living in solitary confinement. won't you help him out ?
Pictures avail upon request.
I'm willing to help w/ transportation, an hr or so in each direction (rat is located in tabernacle, NJ - currently w/ my parents.. they're not allergic but they do have a cat.. )
Thanks.. Email me at "rbarthur2003@yahoo.com" or if you want to speak by phone, i'll email you my phone #..
Thanks.. Bob Arthur.
