Sweet Home Alabama

Our adoption process can be found on our website here: www.mnpocketpetrescue.org/process Hello, I'm Sweet Home Alabama! I'm a sprightly, slightly bashful, and a tad goofy rat. I'm the proud mama of 11 adorable little ones. I spend my days climbing, keeping fit for my energetic babies. I'm also great pals with Sweet Caroline, we love to play hide and seek. I can be a little shy at first, but once I get to know you, I'm all fun and games. I may be small, but my heart is big and full of love to give. Adopting me means gaining a tiny friend with a huge personality, who will keep you entertained with my goofy antics and love you unconditionally. ________________________________________________________________________________ Estimated birth date: 5/14/23 Personality: Hesitant, Nervous, Sweet, Very shy (you are unable to touch this animal without it running away or being fearful, etc) Favorite treats: Cheerios and Seeds Current Diet: Oxbow Essentials Adult Rat Food Favorite toys and activities: Hiding in her cloth-covered tube Potty trained: We're working on it!
