A little back-story on my girls.
Lady and Bug were my first rats, I adopted them from a lady off Craigslist who was keeping both of them in a 10-gal fishtank. WAYYYYY too small for even one rat. (I'm not gonna begin telling why fishtanks are bad for rats, I'd be here all day.) A few days later I bought a ferret cage off CL for them, quickly learned that they could escape from the 1" bar spacing, and quickly covered the whole thing with hardware cloth. They stayed in that up until the last days of March, or the first days of April, I forget.
Now they're in a single-unit Critter Nation cage, which looks like this:
And now about Beauty.
Beauty was another CL rescue. She was a 6 y/o boy's pet after his dog died, she was also being kept in a 10-gal tank. (Amazingly, she doesn't have a respiratory infection.) The little boy lost interest in her after about a week, didn't feed her very often, and rarely changed her bedding. Now she's in Lady and Bug's old Ferret cage, getting used to the house, etc. Her next treatment for the mites is next week on Tuesday, then the week AFTER that I will introduce her to Lady and Bug.
Tadah! These are my girls.
