Woman Finds Out Rats Multiply The Hard Way
Animal rescuers in Massachusetts said a woman who bought two rats to save them from being snake food soon found herself with 71 rodents. The Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said the woman bought the rats from a pet shop in Sandwich to save them from being food for a snake. She contacted the society about three months later when the number of rapidly breeding rats ballooned to 71. “She realized she was in over her head, and she drove to Boston,” MSPCA spokesman Rob Halpin said. Halpin added that the incident took place only days after a Lawrence man brought in 94 hamsters not long after he purchased only two. The spokesman said the hamsters will likely have better luck finding new homes than the rats will.
