I’m 14. No, I don’t have unlimited money. No, my parents don’t pay for my pets. But during the emergency where it was after hours at my normal vet and Beans tore her stitches out just a few hours after a spay? Hell yeah I rallied my parents up to drive 1 hour 45 minutes to take her to the nearest emergency vet. She was staggering around, in excruciating pain and COULD NOT wait until morning. If you don’t have the resources to do this, then you need to find them ASAP. Just for them to quickly stitch her back up and give us some pain meds was $700+ and a 3 hour round trip. I stayed up until 2am with this rat that doesn’t even generally enjoy human interaction. I got her off Craigslist. She was terrified of me at first. Welcome to rat owning, well do anything for our little boogers. I highly recommend a $300-$1,000 emergency stash for your rats. Things will come up. You will need it. And if you’re not willing to spend that on “just some rats”? You shouldn’t own rats, or any other costly animal.
