URGENT: Home Needed for 4 Baby Boys near Ohio
Home Needed in 24 hours to Save Their Lives
Meet Frodo, Sam, Crosby, and Elvis. We had all girl rats. My husband decided for his birthday he wanted four boys for a change of pace. He was determined for weeks that he wanted this, despite my reservation on getting more. I bought a $250 separate cage as part of his birthday present and we picked out four boys.
We've had them about 10 days and now he is stressed that 1) he isn't bonding to them (though I am), 2) we have too many rats (we do, but I wanted to make him happy for his only birthday request) and 3) that he can't properly socialize everyone when the boys have to be kept separate from the girls at all times.
He is firm that he doesn't want them and I am very upset. I proposed several alternatives and he is refusing them all. We rescued them from a reptile shop as feeders, and to my shock, he wants to call the shop back and see if they'll take them back (as feeders) TODAY. As much as I didn't want more rats, I am heartbroken and bonded a lot with two of them. We had a huge fight and he's given me 24 hours to find them a home or he's taking them to the snake shop. His alternative proposal was putting them outside to the wild. I'm dumbfounded.
Is anybody in or near Southwest Ohio (Northern Kentucky or Eastern Indiana included) that may be interested in adopting these baby boys? If someone is serious to adopt, I could drive up to an hour to meet you to make sure they end up in a good home. You could have their current smaller cage and all supplies.
Any other suggestions on rehoming would be appreciated as well.
