*** In order to adopt, you must be an existing client of a vet clinic that sees rats or have been accepted as a new client at a clinic that sees rats ***
Ebby and Bob are an odd couple for sure.
Ebby was actually born at the rescue on Aug. 30, 2020. Her mother was a domesticated rat who was dumped outside and her father was a wild rat. This means Ebby is half-wild. She's not a big fan of being held, although she will tolerate it if it means play time. And she's not a big fan of being pet....

Shay & Lily
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. Aside from being soft, and cute as buttons, Shay & Lily are 100% liter trained, do not chew or destroy anything, are not picky about their ve...

Estimated to be born between Dec. 23 and 25th of 2020, these boys are still young and have some growing left to do.
