Bit of a late post, but I got two new rats. Their names are Sam and Max. They are senior rats, over two years old and they were abused. The woman who owned them forgot she had them, so they went without food for sometimes days at a time. They gobble their food down thinking that it's the last bowl they'll ever get, so they're obese. They weren't handled for their entire lives, they were mistreated and mishandled and their owner was about to release them into the woods because shelters wouldn't take them 'cause they'd "never find a home". Well, those shelters have been proven wrong and now they have a happy and loving retirement home with me.
Haven't got pictures of them on my PC, this will have to suffice.
