Sweet Caroline

Our adoption process can be found on our website here: www.mnpocketpetrescue.org/process Hello there, I'm Sweet Caroline, a brave and independent rat. I've got a sharp mind and a knack for solving puzzles. My best friend, Sweet Home Alabama, and I love to play and explore together. Did I mention I'm a mom too? Yes, I've raised 11 adorable babies with all the love in the world. Life is a beautiful journey of learning and love for me, and I'm ready to share it with you. Adopting me means adding a little adventurer to your home who is full of life, love, and courage. I'm ready to be a part of your family, are you ready for me? ________________________________________________________________________________ Estimated birth date: 5/15/23 Personality: Curious, Hesitant, Nervous, Quiet, Sweet, Very shy (you are unable to touch this animal without it running away or being fearful, etc) Favorite treats: Cheerios Current Diet: Oxbow Essentials Adult Rat Food Favorite toys and activities: Building nests and cuddling with Sweet Home Alabama Potty trained: We're working on it!

Please note that Sweet Caroline is currently nursing her pups and can not go to her forever home until they are weaned.

Sweet Home Alabama & Sweet Caroline (Bum Bum Bum) came to MNPPR when their previous owner was no longer able to keep up with care. Due to our rescue being foster-based, not all foster homes are located in Saint Paul, MN. This animal's foster parent prefers to meet at the Maple Grove PetSmart - 11200 Fountains Dr, Maple Grove, MN 55369 for meet & greets, & adoptions. Fee: Sweet Home Alabama & Sweet Caroline (Bum Bum Bum) have a combined adoption fee of $35 We absolutely DO NOT SHIP ANIMALS! Please do not ask.
