Shay & Lily

Posted on July 19, 2021November 23, 2021 by Rachel Shen

Sisters Shay & Lily are estimated to have been born in May of 2020, meaning they are just over 1 year old. We would strongly prefer that Shay & Lily be adopted with Cleo & Leila and will only allow them to be separated if the applicant already has an existing colony of rats. You are unlikely to find more friendly, sociable or well-behaved rats anywhere.

Springfield and Dusty are brothers who came from a very neglectful situation where they were left to live in filth, infested with mites and left to wallow in their own urine.

A word from their foster family: "Bryon & Percy are really good boys. They use their litter box almost all the time and are very sweet. They still don't like to be picked up, and out times are often spent in one of the boxes, too shy to come out, but they don't run away at loud sounds, or us, and they love nibbling our fingernails and playing hide and seek."

Both girls are fine with being held and handled, however, due to their past, they would prefer an experienced home. Strong preference will be given ...
