About this Rat
These three girls were born on May 23, 2025. About These Three Adorable Girls: This charming trio of rat sisters is looking for a patient and understanding home! They are still quite skittish and not comfortable with being held yet, but they are making wonderful progress in learning to trust and explore their world. They love treats and are slowly discovering the joys of human interaction on their own terms. A Special Note About Dottie: Dottie is a clever and independent little rat with a strong personality. While generally sweet and the most curious, she tends to be very particular when she's just waking up in her hammock. She can bite, sometimes deeply, if approached or handled when she's groggy or not fully alert after waking. We've been working diligently with her using positive reinforcement. We've found that it's crucial to give her a few moments to fully rouse before interacting. We gently alert her with sound or by offering a treat outside her hammock, always wait for her to emerge on her own, and never reach into her hammock/sleeping space when she's just waking up. When she's fully awake and engaged, she's very inquisitive, enjoys getting hand fed treats and gets along wonderfully with her sisters. The ideal home for Dottie (and her sisters) will be with someone patient and understanding, preferably with some prior rat experience, who is committed to continuing positive reinforcement training and respecting her need for space as she wakes. With consistency and a little extra care, Dottie has the potential to become a truly bonded and rewarding companion. Their adoption fee is $55 for the trio. Proof of a proper enclosure is required: one with solid floors and shelves 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. Four cubic feet per rat is optimal. Like other animals, rats are very intelligent and need mental stimulation. They are also social creatures so they should be adopted in pairs at a minimum. Rats are heat sensitive, so cage placement is important: an area in the home that does not get too hot in the warmer weather. They do best in areas that are completely dark for at least 8 hours a day with no nightlights or other ambient lighting.
