These babies were born to a rat that was adopted already pregnant. They came into our custody on 4/16/16. The boys were neutered on 6/6/16 and can live with ladies on 6/27/16.
The girls live with the Cabin Pressure Boys and can be mixed and matched, although the girls seem to be sweet on Douglas!
UPDATE 4/26/16 on Cedar & Oak:
Cedar is very outgoing, and Oak is a close second! The two are best friends and are always sleeping together. They both come right to the door whenever I open it. They will take treats from your hands and are adorable during play time out on the couch!
UPDATE 4/27/16 Sassafras, Persimmon, Crabapple, & Sumac:
Sassafras and Persimmon are both more bold than the others—kings of the mountain. They are the first to investigate a new treat being offered, and are comfortable being handled.
Crabapple and Sumac are bashful tourists, but boy do they love baby food! When I offer it on a spoon they stay at the front of the cage to eat it, which is a great sign. They are too nervous to eat treats when being handled but they are learning to trust fast!
My hope is that Crabapple and Sumac could go home with either Sassafras or Persimmon, or other confident rats, so they can continue to learn by example.
All four also use the litterbox well!
UPDATE 4/26/16 on Mandy’s girls:
All three girls are very curious and friendly.
Willow and Magnolia are pretty similar – very adventurous, quick to climb out and explore when the cage is open, and like being handled.
Clementine is much more shy and more reluctant to explore outside of the cage. But she’s very sweet and doesn’t mind being handled, once you catch her!
