My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Our adoption process can be found on our website here: www.mnpocketpetrescue.org/process
________________________________________________________________________________

Estimated birth date: 5/24/24

Personality: Curious, Energetic, Inquisitive, Nervous

Favorite treats: Mealworms, Churu, and baby teething snacks

Current Diet: Oxbow Essentials Mouse & Young Rat Food, Oxbow Essentials Adult Rat Food, Shunamite style food mix

Favorite toys and activities: Bintje loves climbing, burrowing, and wrestling with her sisters!
Potty trained: We're working on it!

This animal’s daily routine: Scatter feeding twice a day and spending time talking to them in the evenings and free roam time.

BFF (Does this animal have or need a friend of the same species in their home?): La Ratte, Vitelotte, & Bintje are a bonded trio and must be adopted together.

Other species this pet has been exposed to and reaction: dog, curious. Nervous of cat (no direct interaction).

Has this animal been exposed to children? What was their reaction? None

Health concerns: None

Behavioral concerns: Bintje is aggressive when handed food through cage bars, though she is able to distinguish food from fingers. She will steal snacks from her sisters though!

Other notes: Bintje is sweet and outgoing and usually the first to pop her head up and say hi when I go to the rat room. She’s still nervous being actively picked up, and wiggly when held, but least likely to hide from me.

La Ratte, Vitelotte, & Bintje were born in rescue shortly after their mothers arrived.

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 Petsmart - 1640 New Brighton Blvd, Minneapolis, MN 55413 for meet & greets, & adoptions.

Fee: La Ratte, Vitelotte, & Bintje have a combined adoption fee of $50

We absolutely DO NOT SHIP ANIMALS! Please do not ask.

Bintje's care while in rescue has not yet been sponsored. If you would like to donate to provide veterinary care, food, bedding, and enrichment for Bintje or other pocket pets in the care of MNPPR, please visit https://www.mnpocketpetrescue.org/sponsor-a-pocket-pet for more information.
