There are six brothers currently in this group: Leonard, Antonio, Heebie, Jeebie, William and Benton. They were born in January after their mothers came into the rescue after being kept in poor conditions in a closing pet store. These boys are shy but gentle and will need time to adjust to their new home. They can be adopted in pairs or more.
Proof of a proper enclosure is required: one with solid floors and shelved to prevent foot injuries, bar spacing small enough to prevent escape or heads getting caught, good ventilation to prevent respiratory issues, and enough room to climb, explore, and provide enrichment activities like digging, burrowing, and balancing. Like other animals, rats are very intelligent and need mental stimulation. Four cubic feet per rat is optimal. Rats are heat sensitive, so cage placement is important: an area in the home that does not get too hot in the warmer weather.
