Bacchus Residents

Nella was one of our permanent resident does who arrived with 7 other rats on the 8th of August 2018. We were actually only supposed to be taking 6 rats from their owner, however, we discovered they were keeping 2 females because they had mammary tumours. Unfortunately, the owner couldn't afford to have the masses assessed to see if they could be surgically removed. We offered to take the other two rats - Nella and Xander - and said we'd be happy to ensure they received prompt medical treatment. Their owner was really touched that we offered to help their rats. Nella was a strong female and a true fighter. Nothing was ever too much for Nella to handle. She was an absolute trooper. Mammary Fibroadenoma Excision: Nella had a large thoracic mammary tumour (likely a fibroadenoma). The vet assessed the tumour and was confident it could be safely removed. So, Nella was booked for surgical excision of the mammary tumour removed on the same day as two other does, Leia and Xander, also ...

Millie is a rat we hold close to our heart. Sometimes, as an owner, you can do everything right, and it still isn't enough. Arrival: Millie's owner contacted us as they wanted an experienced owner for their soon-to-be lone rat. Her companion was battling chronic health issues and wasn't going to be around too much longer. We agreed to accommodate Millie whenever the time came. When the day arrived, Millie had recently developed a mammary tumour (we suspected a fibroadenoma), and we mutually agreed to have it surgically removed. Millie was a friendly 1.6-year-old - 2-year-old rat.

Shmi was very popular amongst some of our followers. She had a larger than life personality, and there are many names we can think of to describe her that wouldn't be appropriate for this blog-setting. Despite her troublesome nature, we loved her a lot.

In our opinion, tailless rats  shouldn't   be  deliberately produced. Due to their deformities, tailless rats usually require adapted-housing. Padme was much older than Leia. We knew Leia would need companionship in the future when her mother passed away. We searched for does in need of a home.  We...
