Hi, I'm Devil Went Down to Georgia, a shy but sweet rat. I'm pretty smart too, if I do say so myself. I've got two pals here, but I'm always open to making more. I'm a simple guy, really. My favorite pastime? Munching on Cheerios. There's just something about that wholesome, oaty crunch that makes my day. When I'm not snacking, I'm usually playing hide and seek with my friends. I'm pretty good at it, thanks to my shy nature. But don't worry, once I get to know you, I'll come out of my shell. Adopt me for a good listener and loyal friend.

Notes from his foster - He has allowed scratches around his ears and head and petting down his back, then lets me know when he’s had enough! When I have had to pick him up he goes completely limp with no struggle. He jumps up on my lap for treats. Explores the area when out for playtime. The only one I’ve seen boggling.
Current Diet: Oxbow Essentials Adult Rat Food, Fruit, Veggies, Cooked oatmeal and cooked eggs.
Favorite toys and activities: Chews on thin chew sticks. Likes the shelters and hammocks. Seems to enjoy free roam time.
Potty trained: Litter box trained.
This animal’s daily routine: He gets breakfast and dinner. Free roam time is late afternoon.
BFF (Does this animal have or need a friend of the same species in their home?): Knocking on Heaven's Door, Stairway to Heaven, & Devil Went Down to Georgia are a bonded trio and must be adopted together.
