Blueberry, Jupie, & Ron

Fostered in Lowell, MA. UPDATE 7/7/24: Blueberry is a sweet, curious lil guy! He is the youngest of the trio and the most playful. He will sometimes enjoy a little tickle and get the zoomies. He was a tad skittish when I first got him, but with just a few weeks of trust training he’s comfortable being picked up! Now he’s a comfortable, confident rat that loves to adventure. I think he might enjoy humans the most, sometimes he will accept neck scritches. Jupie is very confident, bold, and daring. He has the least fear out of the bunch and has a thirst for adventure. When I open the cage he enjoys climbing up my arm and going onto my shoulder. He doesn’t mind being scooped up and he’s very food motivated. Sometimes he will just -go- for things without thinking about his next steps, he’s so daring! Ron is a shy, sweet boy. He’s fairly cautious, but since I’ve been hand feeding him treats daily, he comes to the cage door and is happy to say hi! Rats are very smart and quick learners, so with time and lots of hand-feeding treats I’m certain he will learn to trust humans enough to be petted without scuttling away. He finds comfort in his more confident buddies and will shadow behind them when exploring. He would do best in a home with humans that understand he needs a gentle, calm approach. He has never bitten (even when grabbed!) and is extremely sweet to his rat friends. Ron is very endearing and has big, deer-like eyes that are so photogenic! Overall, all of these boys are very well behaved and active explorers. They don’t try to escape their playpen and use a litter box (most of the time). They haven’t chewed up any hammocks and are very respectful of each other. They are still learning to be affectionate with humans, but Blueberry and Jupie already understand humans are fun to climb on and explore! Ron knows humans bring the yummiest treats. They are an amazing trio!
