Meet Diane, Deborah, Denise, Daya, Delores, Della, and their brothers Chuck, Shawn and Stewart! (They are housed separately.) These are from two litters of babies were born the end of August and the beginning of September. They are very busy and active with good personalities. A few are on the shyer side, but have responded really well to regular handling and human interaction. None have been nippy. These ratties need an environment with a lot on interaction and enrichment to keep them busy.
They have been introduced to litter boxes and are taking to them quite well!
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. They can be adopted in pairs or more. Their adoption fee is $40 for the first two, and $15 for any additional babies you cannot resist adding to your family.
