Answer #1

if you love your rat enough you will work really hard to get the money! -babysit -lemonade stand -bakesale -garage sale -yard work -gardening -cleaning -helpin out around the house

*even tho these dont sound like they will make you money the will slowly start to build up and you will have the money!

Answer #2

First of all how old it the rat? They don’t have a long life span. It is like 4yrs. We did remove a tumor off of a rat at work her name was Gabby and she is doing great. However these animals do not do that well with going under. We did surgery on a ginny pig that woke up and was doing good and hours later she passed away. I know you love your rat and if you can’t pay for surgery then if she is in pain you need to make a choice. If she is not in pain then let her live till her time comes. I wish you lots of luck and maybe you can make some money by doing the jobs listed by bubbles.

Answer #3

Um, if you love your rat, do the surgery. Find ways to make the money. Yard/garage sale, cleaning houses, etc. If not, put it to sleep. The poor thing doesn’t need to live in that kindof condition.
