Critter Details

April and May are baby rats who were born March 28, 2025 after a family took in a female rat who turned out to be pregnant.  These delightful girls are very active and playful.   They are pictured with littermates who have been adopted. 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.    Their adoption fee is $40.
