My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Names and color: Walter (light gray with white belly) and Algernon (dark gray with white belly). They are both very handsome.

Age: born August 23, 2013.

Size: 1.5 lbs each.

Health: Healthy!

Main diet: Harlan Teklad and Linda's Premium Organic Rodent Mix.

Temperament: Both boys are sweet, active, and playful, but shy and rather easily spooked-- they would not be ideal for children. Algernon communicates a lot by squeaking-- he's a bit of a drama king! Walter is the more adventurous one. They enjoy eating raw broccoli, snuggling in their Lixit critter space pod, playing with/grooming with your hands, and chewing up empty tissue boxes. They are well-loved and spoiled-- only being rehomed by their owner as a last resort because they don't get along with the other resident rat.

They cannot live with other rats, but are strongly bonded to one another.
