More Pet Rat Responses

Rex refers to the curly/ wavy hair and whiskers. There is no way he is wild or even snake food. Either someone lost him or some heartless oaf decided he didn't want it anymore and dumped him. Either way, unless he is saved, he's likely to become cat/coyote/snake/hawk food or get hit by a car. By the way, they make wonderful pets. They're almost as smart as cats. Way nicer and smarter than rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters; I've had all of them. Currently I have 3 rescue lab rats (and what seams like a small zoo) so I can't take him in right now. You might see if the Dept. of Animal Services (619-236.4250) can take him in as a stray. Marie
