She loves having a pouch and will climb right in it &#8211; rides shoulder well. But everything has to be done on Demeter&#8217;s terms, and if it isn&#8217;t, she will nip you. We are also currently working on pouch training so that, if you can&#8217;t pick her up, she will automatically go to the pouch. She will tolerate petting, but does not seem to enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE 4\/16\/16:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Demeter is now adoptable. She isn&#8217;t super outgoing yet, but she&#8217;s not aggressive as long as the handler understands her boundaries and limitations. She needs a pouch to be picked up, and when she says not to touch her, you have to leave her alone. She&#8217;ll need a confident handler and is still a work in progress. She needs a home without kids.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0Demeter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/i242.photobucket.com\/albums\/ff234\/MaineRatRescue\/2015%20Foster%20Families\/Alyssa%20Dufresne%20West%20Rutland%20Vermont\/Peach%20Daisy%20Demeter\/20160222_011410_zpsyxqlwxpk.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"622\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s242.photobucket.com\/user\/MaineRatRescue\/media\/2015%20Foster%20Families\/Alyssa%20Dufresne%20West%20Rutland%20Vermont\/Peach%20Daisy%20Demeter\/0f049369-4970-4fe8-9504-09eb3496cef0_zpsvfdplwvc.jpg.html\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i242.photobucket.com\/albums\/ff234\/MaineRatRescue\/2015%20Foster%20Families\/Alyssa%20Dufresne%20West%20Rutland%20Vermont\/Peach%20Daisy%20Demeter\/0f049369-4970-4fe8-9504-09eb3496cef0_zpsvfdplwvc.jpg\" alt=\" photo 0f049369-4970-4fe8-9504-09eb3496cef0_zpsvfdplwvc.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Demeter&#8217;s\u00a0owner could no longer care for\u00a0her and needed to find her a new home with other rats.\u00a0She came into custody on 2\/20\/16.
