This is my new female rat, Princess Ruby Sativa =) She was given away by her owner because he didnt know he was allergic. She was going to be sold as snake food. The girl at the store where Ruby was left told me the guy didn't say how old she was (but she guessed due to her size that she is around 5-6 mths old), so I am hoping someone can judge by the pics and let me know your opinion on her age. Also, I got her an appointment with a vet who is very knowledgeable about rodents, so hopefully she can let me know her opinion on that as well.

She looks young, I'd probably go with that, 6 months old for her.

BTW... aquariums/tanks don't make good cages for rats. They have very poor respiratory systems and a tank can make it even worse.
 
She is waiting on a buddy right now, hoping to get that done this weekend, she was kind of a surprise for me ... I only got the tank as a temporary home for her, and haven't found any appropriate cages yet ... thanks for the info!
 
I got an amazing cage of which I will post pics soon, and she is getting her new friend on my payday this week!! Will take pics when I get her.
 
She can be crazy!!! lol

Do you have any suggestions on a rat rescue in BC, Canada ???

This one aquatic supply store I go to usually rescues rats and that is where I got Ruby so I may go there ...
 
Your initial post was almost a month ago! Cage pictures please :stickpoke:
Goof luck on finding a friend.
