Betty, Sylvia, Cherise & babies

Betty, Sylvia and Cherise are pink eyed white females who came into the rescue mistreated and pregnant. They are part of a group who was rescued from a disreputable pet store that closed. They were left in a bin with no food and water, and only half of the group survived to arrive at out rescue on New Years Eve. Their exact age is unknown, but they are still young. Estimated birth date is November 2023. They are understandably wary of new people, but will come to the door for treats and allow some petting and handling. Their favorite activity is to collect paper and build a giant nest in a high hammock, preferably in an inconvenient spot so that paper tumbles out when the cage door is opened. They giggle to themselves when this happens, but you cannot hear it because the high pitch is beyond the human range of hearing. They will need a patient soul who will allow them time to adjust to a new environment. Their babies were born January 17, 18, and 21, and male and female babies in different color variations are available. They can be adopted in pairs or more. Proof of a proper enclosure is required before adopting. A proper enclosure should be secured on all sides to prevent escapes and have solid flooring - no wire in which feet can get caught and cause injuries. Cage bar spacing should be narrow enough to prevent escape and heads getting caught. there should be enough room to allow for climbing, running, and digging or burrowing. Four cubic feet per rat is preferred. Anyone new to rat ownership should make arrangements to meet and handle a rat in person before adoption to ensure no allergic reactions occur. Adoption fee is $40 per pair, and $15 for additional rats adopted together.
