Meet Lucky and Hershey. These two ladies are buddies and would like to stay together. These girls are calm, curious, and sweet. They`re a little timid, but very reserved. As we get to know these girls, they are coming out of their shells more and more! They love to play with enrichment and climb all around their cage. They`d love a rat saavy family that can spend lots of time and energy keeping their lives enriched.
Rats are nocturnal, highly social and extremely intelligent animals! Due to the highly social nature of rats we prefer to match them with homes with existing rats, or to adopters looking to take home two or more rats. Rats can be food driven (and great foragers!) making them excellent animals to train. We always recommend the use of positive reinforcement training with your animals, and are happy to provide more information on this topic.
We recommend providing a safe indoor enclosure that allows the rat plenty of space to exercise. The minimum cage size should be 2’x2.5’x2’, with good ventilation (no glass enclosures) and must have a solid base. Preferably the shelter includes multiple levels, with appropriate use of linens or paper bedding and lots of rat appropriate toys. Rats should never be housed with other animals, each species should always have its own housing.
The needs of each rat are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the rat you are interested in, please let us know when you stop by! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.
