My story

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

*Single male hairless dumbo rat
*Born in approximately 10/2014
-Gizmo came to us with his brother from a large group of hairless rats rescued in Pittsburgh. Unfortunately as him and his brother grew up, they decided they didn't like each other anymore so they had to be separated. It was mostly his brother that beat him up so his brother got neutered to calm him down. Gizmo is definitely the more submissive of the two and is very sweet. We really now want to find him a home where he can have a new brother with slow introductions. He can also be a single rat boy with lots of attention and love. He likes to give kisses and is a very sweet little man, though he can be a little shy with new people. He loves soft things and fleece hammocks are his favorite :) Hairless rats can be more sensitive to skin scratches and infections because of the lack of hair so they must be watched closely. Adoption fee is $15 for a single.
