Intelligent Rats

This is completely unrelated to rats..

I’ve never done a go fund me, I’m not the one to put my hands out and ask for help, let alone donations. I’m not rich but I know I have more than some people, but I definitely don’t have this kind of money. I give change and give to the homeless. I am hoping for a miracle

Yesterday afternoon I got the call while I was working that my dad had been rushed to the hospital for cardiac arrest. At least that’s what they are saying but they don’t really know what happened. This is so sudden and unexpected. I just walked my college graduation and seen my dad he was perfectly fine as far as I knew. I just talked to him two days ago. This doesn’t feel real..

He was my emotional support, he worked on my car a lot. I visited him often even to just hang out. We recently watched a movie together. Things were going good for me finally. I was planning to buy a better house and maybe start raising rats again. I stepped back from breeding, to rescue cats that needed help. I have learned a lot about cats in the last two years and I have learned how to bottle feed kittens

My family doesn’t deserve this. My grandmother lost her son, me and my sisters lost our father, my step mom lost her husband. Now idk about finances. Idk if my dad had life insurance. Why is it that our medical system has their hands out when someone passes?

I’ll worry about the rest later, but what I’m trying to raise for is an autopsy. My family and me NEED to know what happened. If you can’t donate I understand, but please at least share. Thank you 💔💔

I am in complete shock and trying to figure out how to write this. I’m a… Summer Grimes needs your support for Help Us Uncover the Truth Behind Dad's Passing

Hello! I know I haven’t been very active in the last year! I apologize

I went back to college and just graduated with my associates in automotive technology and got my first certification as a mechanic

I stepped back from rat breeding to rescue cats. I live in an area where cats are very populated. I’ve been caring for and rescuing kittens the best I can for the past year and a half!

As of right now, I am not looking to get back into rat breeding, at least not where I live at the moment. When I move in the future, is when I plan to pick back up rat breeding

Here’s a picture of 2 kittens I rescued last night, that have been fostered over to one of my nursing mothers!

⚠️🚙⚠️ Despite the warnings, hundreds of dogs in the U.S. die every year after being left in a hot car. Someone you know may need to read this very important message. ⚠️🚙⚠️

SIX MINUTES is all it takes for a dog to overheat in a hot car.

Your dog could suffer serious injury or die in a matter of minutes if left alone in a car.

• The temperature inside a closed vehicle left in the sun can double within 12 minutes.

• At least 75% of the temperature increase in a closed vehicle occurs within 5 minutes of closing the vehicle, and at least 89% of the temperature increase occurs within 15 minutes of closing the vehicle.

• Temperatures exceeding 104˚ F can lead to death or serious injury for the occupants.

• Temperatures in a closed vehicle sitting in the hot sun can reach 160˚F and above. An animal will suffer immeasurably and may die before the temperature reaches 150˚F.

• Even when parked in the shade, the vehicle temperatures can exceed 104˚C.

• Leaving windows down more than 2 inches on an unattended vehicle will not prevent a car from reaching extreme temperatures.

• Even if the animal is revived, they can die due to severe internal organ damage.

Your dog trusts you to have their best interest at heart ALWAYS.
Please don’t risk their safety.

If you are not taking your dog inside your destination with you, PLEASE leave them at home where they are comfortable and safe.

Newest additions to the colony! These are my keepers from the previous litters! Not counting the last litter because they still got some growing to do ❤️❤️

The last picture are my dwarves! I only have 4 at the moment, but will be working to expand that colony in the future! So far, based on my research and personal experience, I have decided to house my dwarf rats separate from my standard rats.

I will be pairing again soon 😁❤️

Please remember to NEVER use cedar bedding! It is toxic to small animals! Kiln dried pine and Aspen are safe! I use Aspen and have been for years. I’m not a fan of paper bedding because it is not good at odor control. Never never use cedar! I don’t care if it’s cheap it is toxic! I’ve seen buyers of my own babies have their pets DIE from using it! Never use cedar!!
