Reuben’s owner could no longer properly care for him. \u00a0\u00a0He came into custody on 3\/19\/16.\u00a0 Reuben was neutered on 3\/31\/16 and can live with ladies 4\/21\/16.<\/p>\n

According to his\u00a0foster mom\u00a0“Reuben is a lazy, pushy, almost crotchety older man. He was lucky to be in decent shape when I rescued him, but his socialization was greatly lacking. He\u2019s come so far, and if his forever home continues with patient love, he could be an amazing pet.”<\/p>\n

From his former owner: “He doesn’t like being picked up, but he loves to come to the open cage door for pets, and he will climb out of the cage into a lap for gentle lovings. When he’s asleep he will let me give him gentle little pets on his head. He is pretty fearless and loves exploring when in a safe space, but he\u2019s a pretty lazy guy.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure how he would do introduced into a larger colony. He was pretty dominant with his other cagemate. He’s a really cute guy, and would probably be an amazing pet if someone continued working with him.”<\/p>\n

Fostered by Amelia in Brunswick, ME. <\/strong><\/p>\n

ADOPTED<\/strong><\/p>\n

#2016049N, “Reuben”, Rat, Blue, Berkshire, Standard Ears\/Standard Coat, Male, DOB: 01\/19\/2015, Spayed\/Neutered?: Yes<\/del><\/p>\n

UPDATE 4\/2\/16:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Reuben is already far calmer after his neuter. His pushy-ness has tamed down a lot. Because of this he’s let me work on picking him up and carrying him around a lot more. He’s also gotten to be quite a big snugglier! His cage is near the babies (the Cologne boys<\/a>), and he doesn’t react to them at all.”
