Is there anywhere in Victoria Australia where rats and mice can be
rehoused.

I am also looking for young baby rats in the Box Hill area.

If anyone has any avalible to Good homes, please let this club know.

Does anyone know how to catch a rat lost inside. My just purchased 6
week old female has gone awol in my heavily furnished flat and i cant
find her.

Is there a way i can set a safe trap. I've left food and water out for
her and a bedding box because i'm worried about her, but this is not
helping me catch her.

Yes Carrie I can help you soon , two of my doe rats are pregnant now and might
have kittens in a few days now. I just don't now how I can get them to you, I
also have pictures in my rodent file under Matthew O'Connor's rat's.

Subject: HELP US HELP YOU MAKE YOUR RATS LIFE A BETTER ONE!!!



Hello to all of the rodent lovers out there!!!

We are posting this message or "Mission Statement" on as many
ratty/rodent sites as humanly possible in a bid to gauge what sort of
interest there would be for a new rat/rodent food product line that
we are considering launching.

As rat owners ourselves, we are concerned about the general well
being, health and happiness of our babies and therefore have spent
many hours researching  ways in which to prolong the lives of our
ratties, ward off tumours and, of course, the ever dreaded MYCO!!!

We have established, that in order to achieve results, it is
imperative that we boost the fragile immune system of our rats. We
believe that we are doing just that using special recipes that
include natures super foods, herbs and supplements.

After extensive research and trialing our products on two of our rats
who had early signs of myco with much success, we started feeding all
of our little guys our miracle food.

Since this, we have shared our success with a few fellow rat lovers
who all suggested that we should share these products with rats and
their families all over the world.

We are well aware that responsible breeding is the major way in which
to breed out problems and produce healthier rats. That is all wonder
full but what about our existing pets and what if we could strengthen
our new generations even further? Wouldn't that be fantastic?

All of the produce that we use for our 'SUPER FOOD' is natural and
whats more, our rats love it and always devour every last morsel!!!

All that we are asking of you wonderful people out there, is that you
send us a brief e-mail and let us know if you, and/ or anybody else
that you may know

would be interested in purchasing such a product before we get the
ball rolling. We will keep all of your e-mail addresses on file so
that we can keep you posted on how things are going.

Thankyou for your time and love and kisses to all of your ratties!



Kate & Jhanine.

We are seeking information about a colony of black rats (rattus rattus)
living pure and untouched on a British island since c.1600's.
Please let us know inside the club if you know ANYTHING about this
subject.
Thanks,
AMRIS Online.

Introduced  pest species such as housemice, black rats and brown rats
should be humanely treated and if sick taken to a veterinary clinic.

Pest species are not native animals and wildlife shelters will refuse
to take them.
However, if you are uncertain of exactly which species you do have,
please contact your veterinarian or wildlife shelter.

While pest species may not be native, they are still wild animals and
suffer more if kept in captivity.
Re-release may seem unorthodox and unfaverable by councils and
general community, particulary in bushland areas where introduced
species are a threat to native animals. In such cases humane
euthanasia is recommended.

However, in built up areas, re-release is often a more humane option,
despite being frowned on.  Prevention is far better than cure with
feral animals. Do not provide a habitat suitable fro breeding  and
they will not breed to plague numbers.

besides, it cannot be worse than humane overpopulation. Whose heard
of a feral rat building a nuclear bomb? Or, a rat committing genocide?
........bla bla bla

Jessie, Molly, Socrates, Vincent, Madonna, Shinji, Brocoli, Nineveh,

Ecotraps manufacture live-traps for the humane capture of cats,
possums, dogs and various other wildlife.
      While they do not have traps available for the capture of mice
and rats, there is a product available called the "Elliot Trap".  The
Elliot Trap is designed to safely and humanely capture rodents alive.
       Visit Ecotraps website and there you will find a link to the
Elliot Trap web page.
http://www.ecotrap.com

Viewers of Discovery Channel keep an eye out for a documentary
featuring Ecotraps in use.

    Ecotraps manufacture humane live-traps for larger animals. They
are endorsed and recommended by the RSPCA and are used by various
wildlife parks and city councils to safely and humanely capture feral
animals.
There is a CD-ROM available demonstrating the traps in use.
Animal Welfare organizations can obtain one of these CD-ROMS, as well
as more details about the range of Ecotraps available, by phoning Sue

Ecotraps also sell overseas.

Hi everyone; hope you are all well.



One of my Managers at work has two rabbits who he wants to find homes for.
It’s the typical story really; the family has had the bunnies for about 2
years and they have now lost interest in them….  My concern of course is
that these animals are not getting the attention they deserve or the space
required to live a quality life.

Is there anyone in the Sydney NSW area willing to take in two rabbits?  He
says he is willing to drive them to their new home.  I’m not sure where he
lives exactly, but we work in Parramatta, so obviously anyone in or around
Sydney.  I’d take them on but I already have 9 rabbits and 2 guinea pigs and
I don’t think the main group would willingly accept another pair into their
space!



It would of course be preferable if they could go as a pair as they get on
so well and have lived together for some time.  I can provide pictures to
anyone who is interested [of course they are both really very cute].  Just
email me at HYPERLINK
"mailto:philandglenda@..."philandglenda@... and put
“Bunnies” in the subject line so that I don’t accidentally delete [I get
loads of junk mail….].



Have a good weekend everyone.


Cheers,
Glenda

Hi Matthew.j.Cleary,

male rats never like other rats invading their space even if the kittens are
from him. Always make sure the male rat is always separated from the female rat
before she has her litter. and the female rat would have stressed out and eaten
the little and how because of the male rat wanting to mate with her 2 hours
after she gives birth. if you have any more questions fell free to ask no
problems. oh and if you don't have a second tanks you might need one, are you
keeping the little . I not you can give them to the pet stores, and they will
give you cat litter or food in return.......cheers

                                                       Mattie

Hi All,

My offer to adopt a pair of buns in Sydney is now closed. I now share
my place with 2 adult rescue buns that came to me from a shelter in
the inner west.

I apologize for the cross-post but I can use the help of rescues and breeders to
finish my listings of resources for Rat Lovers United. Going through the
previous rescue links in the group i have found not all are current anymore and
deleted quite a bit. I would like to make it easy for our members and future
members to have another source (in addition to the other rat and rodent lists)
to have access to rescue and adoption websites or links.

This would not only make it easier for the rescues and ratteries to help relieve
them of their animals but the goal is to bring rats and people together in a
stable home environment.

Although RLU is predominantly U.S. Rescues and ratteries from overseas is
welcome as we are trying establish a world wide rescue / or rattery promotion
connection. (who knows maybe in 10 years eh? Gotta start somewhere) It will take
a long time to establish something like this and I understand that. I am really
trying to dedicate more time to the group to help this now that school is pretty
much over.

Please email OFFLIST as to avoid cluttering up groups with this information.

What is needed is your rescue / rattery location and contact information with
website address.

Also if you happen to know of any Rat Associations dedicated to promotion and
education (especially overseas is needed if there are any) that would be
appreciated as well. (If anyone happens to know of the one for Illinois that
would personally help me as I accidently deleted that site and I need that one!
Its something like NHRI or something)

Please keep this rat/rodent related only. RLU is a list dedicated to pet rats.

                                   Thanks so much in advance to all who help in
this,
                                         Randi

Hi rat lovers, if you would like to have a look at some of my new
pic's. Go into the mattieoconnor photo files missy my darling thing
just had her 2nd litter of 15.half an hour ago, rat's and mice usally
give bith late at night. she let me watch her too. the last time i
watched her give birth she had eatten half the little from thinking i
was indangering the litter.also if you would like to chat feel free
to chat mattiecakes3482@...

Unfortunately a lot of the bunnies that leave "to go to good homes"
very soon become abandoned and end up set loose to fend for
themselves, or if they are lucky, in shelters where they are more
often than not euthanased as the shelter has no room for them with
all the dogs and cats they have.  This is a very high trend as
rabbits tend to appeal to children, who beg and plead with their
parents to have the bunny, only to lose interest as soon as they are
no longer cute and little, or when they reach puberty and their
behaviour is no longer nice.

If you do enjoy breeding your rabbits, then I would appeal with you
to at least educate the people whom you give the baby rabbits to.
Advise them to have the bunny desexed (at a normal cost of $100+,
people tend to think rabbits are cheap pets and again that is another
reason they are then turned loose). A desexed rabbit is a much better
pet for a child, and through education we can be sure to pave the way
for a better tomorrow for the bunnies of the world....

Liz 'n Lily-Bunny, desexed last week and already a much calmer little
girl :)

Hi

I am in S.A and currently have two young rabbits available for
adoption.

If anyone Adelaide list-ers are interested, please let me know.
The rabbits are agouti coloured, and are friendly.

The mother is booked in to be spayed on Friday, so will have no more
rescue rabbits to re-home once the remaining two babies are gone.

I can post a pic if anyone wants to see what they look like.

I only want these buns to go to good homes with rabbit owners who
will desex,vaccinate and feed and house the rabbits properly.

thanks
