UPDATE ** Found a loving home **
About 2 weeks ago I took in 2 boys. I was msgd by a friend who mentioned that her cousin was moving and couldnt keep her rats, and also mentioned they were living in a fish tank π€¦ββοΈ
So although I didnt really have the space, I knew I couldnt say no. So I met her in town and met the boys for the first time. I can tell that life in a fish tank had def taken its toll. Both boys were in poor condition and sounded terrible. Porf surrounded the eyes of both and the mink one had actually rubbed some fur off from around his eyes and had a lil blister near his whiskers from his continuous cleaning of his eyes and nose. I went up the attic and brought a CN down to my kitchen(as far away from all my other rattos as I could) set it up and began their treatment. They were def not a fan of being held or the taste of the meds. So rather than traumatize them anymore, I started just sneaking their meds in some yummy turkey baby food.
Fast forward to today. Meds were stopped 2 days ago. They both sound and look amazing! I had them out on my bed for free roam and they got lots of room to run around and hide and they got one of their fav treats, Frozen peas. They are still a lil skitzy/timid if fast movements are made. I think the naked one is nearly blind as he sways pretty heavy. But once held these boys will melt into you and enjoy to be loved on. I do not have any great pics, but I did take a short video for my friend this morning when she msgd and asked how they were doing. I'll post it below and will try my best to get some pics.
These boys WILL be looking for a home. So if you are interested, they do not come with a cage at all, since thats how they came to me, but I will offer a baggie of treat mix and a hammock sewn with love by urs truly

Petco Boys are doing fantastic <3 But they are still in need of a wonderful loving new family. If you are interested, I have some used Critter Nation cages Im selling. If you buy the cage, Ill wave their adoption fee. You are getting some really special boys here. So loving and licky and all they want is to be loved on. Perfect for a first time rat owner, would be great to teach kids how awesome rats are, these boys are just amazing. Unsure of age, but they seem younger, like mayb 6m. The person who surrendered them said they tried to intro Oliver(#4) but it didnt go well, so Im not sure about adding them to a crew, but as I said I do have extra cages Im willing to sell. And they will come with a complimentary Honeycomb Hammock by Andrea's Handmade Small Pet Supplies and a bag of treat mix :D
Let me know if you are interested.
