Sorry Really Long!
Well i'm a pretty laid back sorta person, not the typical spoiled, nasty,center of the universe girl, which seems to spread like a plague out here. I mean i could be idk hope not lol. I drove 2 hours yesterday to pick up 2 blazed berkshire ratties for my crew. I'm rat obsessed. Anyway the girl was my age. She stuffed around with when I could pick them up for 3 weeks I contacted her when they were 2 weeks old so I could get my pick by the time they were 5 weeks old. I contacted her many times she wanted $15 then changed to $18 per rat which is a bit expensive but there are no rats where I am so I have to drive a fair way, no rescues etc. So buying from breeders is my only option. I turned up at her place to pick them up, she was not home but out with friends so her Mum showed me the rats they were locked in a 20cm w x 20cm h x 30 d plastic container and lid with no holes with filthy water in a bowl and no food other than a carrot. I asked if this was what they were living in and she said yes. I asked how much she'd want for the lot (4 rats) she said $70 which is over $15 each. There was only meant to be my 2 left she told me that they were all sold, and carried on like they were in demand her mother told me only a few minutes how she was going to drop them off at the pet shop if no-one bought the others. So I said haha I'll pay you $30 she got mad and said $50 we shook on it and I put them into my carry cage which was over twice the size of what they were living in. The poor sods had been trapped in shocking conditions for so long they immidiately jumped around, climbed the bars, played with the toys and ate a full bowl of rat mix. That i thought would be the end of that awful girl and her mother who wants to breed professionally -NO just NO-!! I was then abused by the girl on facebook about how I only paid $10 per rat (she's so stupid she can't do simple math I paid 12.50 per rat) I also had to take them all to the vet for upper respiratory infection so there goes $200, I didn't reply I just blocked her, as I said I'm laid back and I don't like getting into bullshit arguments. So she rang me up abusing me and saying how she is so angry that I didn't pay her mother the proper price, I said that she was being immature and told her never to ring this number again and hung up. So she rang 5 times, until I picked it up again. She went off about how she was saving up for something special, I scoffed and said I hope you were buying better living conditions for your rats (she had 5 other rats not for sale that she was breeding). I stayed calm replying that her mother had offered them for $50 and at anytime could've refused, then she said yeah but you don't know anything and hung up on me, I took the phone off the wall so she couldn't ring back. I'm now getting prank called by her daily, i know where she lives she doesn't know where I live. feel like posting her details so no-one buys a rat from her ever again (I won't though I'm not that mean). Ugh so p---ed off. Now I have a total of 6 rats and I only wanted 4, i couldn't bare to sell any of them they've had it hard enough without having further stress of separation. They are now living in an large cage, seperate from my 1 year old boys, I have a huge ferret cage for them. I'm now on the hunt for a cheap critter nation as my ferret cage is only meant to hold 4-5 rats humanely according to this fantastic website (http://www.rattycorner.com/odds/calc.shtml). GRRRRRRRR I hate some people's behavior. XC
