UPDATE 11/7: Atlas has come a long way with his trust training. He will now allow petting and touching as long as he is out of the cage. He still prefers to use a transfer box or cuddle sack to be removed from the cage.

Atlas made his way to MNPPR after he didnt get along with his previous owners other rats.
