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

Personality: Curious, Hesitant, Lazy, Nervous, Quiet, Very shy (you are unable to touch this animal without it running away or being fearful, etc)

Favorite treats: Oats, Cheerios

Current Diet: Oxbow Essentials Adult Rat Food.

Favorite toys and activities: Digging boxes, ping pong balls

Potty trained: No.

This animal’s daily routine: Sleep most of the day, wake up in the evening to play in digging boxes and with pom pom boxes and ping pong balls.

BFF: Nitrogen, Copper, and Gold are a bonded trio and must be adopted as a group.

Other species this pet has been exposed to and reaction: None

Has this animal been exposed to children? What was their reaction? Yes, 12 year old. Nothing different than with an adult. But also the 12-yo knows how to interact with rats properly

12/17 update - Cuddle sack time, and slowly putting hands in and outside of cage to acclimate the rats to us.

Other notes:

Nitrogen, Copper & Gold MNPPR as transfers from another rescue.

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 Highland Park PetSmart in St. Paul (2277 Ford Pkwy, St. Paul, MN 55116)

Fee: Nitrogen, Copper & Gold have a combined adoption fee of $50.

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

Nitrogen'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 Nitrogen or other pocket pets in the care of MNPPR, please visit https://www.mnpocketpetrescue.org/sponsor-a-pocket-pet for more information.

More about this rescue

MN Pocket Pet Rescue is a 501(c)(3) organization primarily serving the Twin Cities Metro Area, focusing on education and public outreach. Our intent is to keep all animals in their homes, with their families, whenever possible. We are committed to rescuing those pocket pets that are in jeopardy of being euthanized or are in danger of being abused, left unattended or in other types of vulnerable situations. We ensure all animals receive proper veterinary care, medication and special training for any behavioral issues, as well as to arrange safe, temporary homes for these animals until stable forever homes can be found. Our team is made up of enthusiastic volunteers who work passionately to serve the underrepresented and often misunderstood niche of pocket pets in the overall rescue community and general public.
