Yesterday we drove into Rocky to pick up some furniture for my sister and to sell the rest of the baby rats (we had 10 to sell).
First of all we went to the big pet store in the Redhill shopping centre, where my sisters asked if they wanted any rats. It turned out they wanted all of the female rats (there were 7 of them) which they were willing to pay $2 each for. The rats had just been installed in their new cages when the girl working there had to ring her boss for some reason. The boss then said that he only wanted to pay $1.50 per rat, which meant that instead of receiving $14 dollars they would only receive $10.50. My sisters sold them anyway.
We then went to the Aussie Tender Centre to pick up the piece of furniture.
After picking the furniture up we drove down to another pet place that we knew of called Webby’s Pet and Grain Barn. Because we weren’t sure if they sold rats or not, one of my sisters ran in to ask. They did sell rats, so we all walked in. I went around taking photos of all the beautiful birds that they sell. Anyway, the owner of the pet barn was very nice and gave the girls the full $3 that they wanted for each rat. He also said that most of the pet-shops will rip you off when buying baby rats. For example, the first pet-shop that we went to only payed $1.50 for the rats, then sold them for $5.00.
All in all, it was a good trip into Rocky. Below is a photo of the Webby’s pet barn sign.
