3 Male bonded rats, cage, accessories

Kannapolis NC

Description

I have three bonded male rats all around a year and a half old that I just don't know what to do with. I want them to be well loved pets because they so deserve it. One has had a respiratory infection that I have been unable to cure with antibiotics and breathing treatments via nebulizer for months. Recently the other two have also started showing signs of respiratory issues. I did all my research when I got them and they've lived in open cages(wire with plastic ramps and levels so their toes wouldn't get caught) with non dyed minimally fragranced (because that's all I could find locally) paper bedding. I know that respiratory infections are just part of having rats but I haven't been able to clear the one up and both myself and my boyfriend were let go from our jobs after buying a house this year so I'm unable to afford to take them to the vet now. Update: My boyfriend broke up with me so I have to move back in with my parents and I simply won't have space for them. We live in a three bedroom house which was plenty of space until my grandparents moved in when their house burned down two years ago and my sister had a baby last year. So with the combined families we already have 7 people, 4 dogs, and a cat.  It just isn't possible. I love them but I just want to do right by them and I'm not what's best for them anymore. The boys: Nugget - albino male, got from Petco on July 7th 2019 as a feeder. Very friendly and easily handled for medications and nebulizer treatments. Taco - beige male, picked up on July 20th 2019 from someone on Craigslist who said they got from a breeder in TN. Very friendly, always comes to cage door as soon as he sees me. (The blue bedding was in the cage when I picked him up.) Hershey - brown male with white paws and white tip on tail, got from Petco on September 23rd 2019. More skittish but never bit and allows me to handle him even when scared. They will come with their cage and all accessories and left over food. The cage does have chew marks in some corners but these chew marks haven't gotten bigger the whole time I've had them. There will be a $40 rehoming fee to ensure they'll be pets unless you can provide a vet reference for small animals or already have other rats and can provide proof of that. These guys will need to see a vet. I'm not proud of their condition but I can't even feed myself some days so no hate please.
