I have finally reached my goal with money to spare. It comes to a grand total of 164.63. I will be getting my rats during the summer/early September. I shall post when I have more news.

Almost there,$10 to go!

That means only one more day of working then I can order the cage, and buy the supplies (including the rats) from the pet store. Even though it is best to buy rats directly from a breeder to prevent diseases and to promote happy and healthy rats that live longer, there are no rat breeders in my area and only one small pet store that sells rats. I saw it once and they have dumbo rats. They are cute. But they are younger, and they are dumbos which are cute when they are kittens but they do grow up to be a bit ugly...But cute all the same :)

New goal

I have lowered my goal since a found an appropriate cage for half the price.

So far, getting paid tonight so I’ll raise the bar when I do.

A 1/3 done 2/3 to go until I have enough money to get my rats!
I'm so excited! I can't wait to feel the rats fur! I've already chosen names! Lily and Abby, what do you think?
