rat care needed, June

[quietann]

In late June, Ben and I are going to Alaska for my brother's wedding.  We will be gone for 10 days, about June 19 to June 28. I have hired our usual petsitter -- pixie_ysral -- but have one rat who needs heart medication twice a day, and she only comes in once a day.   The rat, Z'ev, has two cagemates, Raviv and My-T-Fine.  They are all large, lazy, friendly males, and Z'ev's medicine tastes good, so it's easy to get it into him.  I am looking for someone to take this group while we are gone.  Can you help?  I will provide food and bedding so you can change the cage (you will need to do this at least once).  A home with air conditioning or at the least a room where the temperature does not go above 75 degrees would be best, as Z'ev gets stressed by heat. (We will also be out of town for about 10 days around Worldcon in August, and will need the same help then.)

How late in June?

June 19 to June 28, actually. (I will edit the post to reflect that...)

I can come twice, that's no problem at all.

We could do it if they could live here while you're gone.

I'm just worried that with work and socializing and everything it might not work for you. Z'ev really needs every dose of his medicine (he almost died when I forgot a dose once). The doses are supposed to be 12 hours apart but can go up to 15 hours with no problems.

It shouldn't be a problem.

How about this, if no one can do it I know I can make it twice, 12 hours apart, but if someone else can do it, that works too.
