Description This is Bug! She's either a russian blue, mink, or russian blue agouti but her coat is very poor due to poor nutrition and probably dirty bedding/ammonia burns. The conditions she was in were so bad, I reported the person to the local rat rescue and the SPCA.

When I first got her I couldn't even tell if she was a berkshire or an irish(which I now think she is), her belly fur was especially thin. She was all skin and bones and the size of a 3 week old rat at 4 weeks, and I was told she was 5 weeks until I got to the house. I was also told she was an accident, but the girl was repeatedly breeding all of her rats in DISGUSTING conditions.

Bug has been with me for 4 days and now has a thicker coat and a little baby belly! She is currently being dewormed, like all my other rats due to my influx of rescues. Just in case

This is part of her socialization, her first day outside!

I'm getting a Russian blue agouti velveteen dumbo in a couple of days. I'm excited. More to add to my collection of beautiful rats!

She's adorable!
I'm glad you got her out of those conditions..
I wish people wouldn't breed rats(or any animals) if they at least care for them and care enough to get them good homes
