Gizmo was one heck of a fighter! He suffered from chronic respiratory disease; one of the most common diseases amongst mice and rats.  Arrival: Gizmo arrived cohabiting with 3 other entire male rats, Trev, Crumbs, and Norman. Unfortunately, due to severe neurological illness, Crumbs had to be euthanised within 24hrs of arriving. Gizmo and Trev suffered from CRD - Trev being the most severe. The poor boys went through so many lifestyle changes when they arrived, but handled everything in their stride. Within a few days, it became clear that Gizmo was the top-rat. He was incredibly territorial at times, but Norman and Trev mostly knew how to stay out of his way. Unfortunately, Trev became extremely unwell as his disease worsened. There became a day when we had to make the decision to have him humanely euthanised - leaving Gizmo and Norman together. Throughout his time here, Gizmo was no picture of health himself. As we've mentioned, Gizmo faced numerou...

Benjamin and Brody are two male Mongolian gerbils who've been in our care for a very long time! They arrived at roughly 10 weeks old on the 6th of July 2019.

Brody and Benjamin are typical gerbils, they can be somewhat quick to handle, but they're very social and friendly once caught.  They spend a large amount of time burrowing and absolutely love shredding cardboard - so make sure to save your toilet roll tubes if you're thinking of adopting them. They must live in a 3ft tank minimum as they're very active gerbils. Ensure they have plenty of ...

Eurasian harvest mice may be the most adorable animal on this earth. We got a great opportunity to expand our experience and knowledge of Eurasian harvest mice after a biologist was unable to release 3 harvest mice due to weather conditions. The biologist was also moving away, so they were searching for a space with individuals who can care for Eurasian harvest mice - that happened to be us.  Visit our website for information about Eurasian harvest mice and their care; https://www.bacchusresidents.co.uk/eurasian-harvest-mice-care.html You can follow us on social media:  Facebook ,  Instagram , and  Twitter To learn more about us, visit  our website You can donate to us via our  Paypal ,  Amazon Wishlist ,  Patreon ,  GoFundMe  and  Hay Experts Wishlist For any other enquiries, please email bacchusresidents@outlook.com Pam and Patsy are two friendly sisters.

Maggie, Marian, and Mildred: The three does arrived in our care from a breeder. Unfortunately, the girl's parents both passed away prematurely. The cause of death was a potentially inheritable heart defect. The breeder didn't believe it would be fair to rehome potentially unhealthy rats and decided to seek sanctuary for the pups - we took three does. We agreed with the breeder, it wasn't suitable to rehome rats who may have inherited a potentially deadly heart defect. Maggie, Mildred, and Marian were bonded to our mischief of does and neutered bucked.

Benedict and Xalvador arrived in our care on the 21st of November 2019. They're two stunning-year-old bucks with outgoing personalities - particularly Benedict.  Both boys went on to be bonded to the other bucks as we believed they'd benefit from being in a larger group.

We decided it'd be beneficial to have him castrated. Before his surgic...

Arrival and Early Life: Alfie and Arthur arrived in our care as two young bucks who were no longer wanted due to their child becoming fearful of the pair as they grew larger. Alfie had a crazy packed life! Originally, he and Arthur were bonded to Rowan, Travis, and Trevor. The quintet were a happy mischief, but Alfie and Arthur were the ones in charge - despite being the youngest. By the time Alfie and Arthur were reaching maturity, they had started to develop hormonal aggression.  After putting it off for several weeks, we decided both brothers would benefit from castration. They were fighting with each other and causing mostly superficial trauma, but they had developed some post-traumatic abscesses.
