I came back to this thread to report that the little rats I spoke of earlier came home this past Friday evening. In a quirky turn of events we lost the mama rat, later that night. She died at the vets. Oreo is the rat I wanted to adopt because she was so smart and such a good mom. The school has offered to reimburse us with the money we spent at the vets. I have decided to use this money in purchasing a better and larger cage for the school and a good reference book on the care and health of rats. I am sad that even unknowningly us humans contribute to unecessary pain and suffereing of animals when they are in our care.
