I had just recently realized that I lived on my own, I could have more than 2 rats at a time. :P By now I had 2 rescue girls Lucky (abandoned in a pet store box outside as a baby) and Frigg (adopted from a local shelter) so I went down to our local HS. Luna was there with 2 other young girls who were about 3 months. I was told they had been born there, but unfortunately the policy at this HS was you were not allowed to handle a rat before you adopted it. So you would just look at the rat and say "that one!". Luna was the only one out and she was headsleeping, so I asked for her. As soon as I got her home, I realized she was a very sick rat, with a bad URI, and took her to the vet. After she got better I tried intro's with the 2 older girls but she was sooo timid. I ended up buying (my very last petstore purchase) baby Moth. Moth was good to dainty little Luna for about 2 months then started showing her true Mothra colours. *giggle*. Poooor Luna. I ended up going back to get her 2 sisters after 3 more months and reuniting them...Oh Luna was soo happy to be with them again!!! Sadly my little frail girl, passed suddenly and I found her in her cage. Gone at 10 months old. I *think* her job in life was to make sure I adopted Soma and Selene (my moon goddesses) and gave them the long happy life she couldn't have...and I did.
I had to use food colouring at first to tell the sisters apart. Luna was blue, Selene was green and Soma was red.
