“WOW! What sweethearts. If you look up the word wonderful in the dictionary, you would probably see a picture of Chestnut and Papaya. Even after such a short time of having them, I am extremely confident that these boys would fit well in any situation. Have a little kids? These are the rats for you. They are calm, they are gentle and very easy to handle. Looking for some boys that would probably love to live with a lady friend? Here you go.\u00a0 New to rats? These young guys\u00a0 are the perfect starter rats. And I guarantee they will make you addicted to ratties!!<\/p>\n

And on top of all this, they are really cute! Who doesn’t love a Dumbo? Papaya is such a handsome guy. And little Chestnut with his racing stripe on his head is just too adorable.<\/p>\n

Give yourself an early Christmas present.?”<\/p>\n

UPDATE 12\/1\/16:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Well! \u00a0These boys just keep getting better and better! \u00a0They have completely settled in. \u00a0They are such attention hogs. \u00a0Every time someone walks by the cage, two little faces pop up and look hopeful. \u00a0Maybe it is for a Yogie, or other treat, but more often they just want out to play.<\/p>\n

I do think that any situation would work with these boys. \u00a0They are so wonderful to handle. \u00a0So they would be perfect for kids. \u00a0Papaya is the more snuggly of the two. \u00a0Chestnut seems to like to explore a little more. \u00a0But they both love to use me for a climbing post. \u00a0And after they tire out, they will both settle in nicely.<\/p>\n

They have discovered their wheel! \u00a0It took a few days, but now they are very interested in it. \u00a0I put a toy box (tissue box) in with a bunch of stuff in it (paper towel, sticks, bird toys) and they will decorate the cage with the treasures.<\/p>\n

LOVE these guys. \u00a0A bit too much, so please, someone, adopt them!!!!!!!!\"*:)”<\/p>\n
