Both will need a little time to warm up in a new home, but will be so rewarding once they do. They have done well in introductions with both neutered males and other females&#8211;nothing more than the usual squabbles and puffing up.<\/p>\n<p><em>Tip-toe<\/em> has already started to come around. She is easy to pick up and pet, she takes treats nicely, and she&#8217;ll even come over to seek out attention. She is a bit of a jumper, and has no qualms about attempting (and miserably failing) a 6-foot leap from your shoulder to the cage if it&#8217;s within eyesight.<\/p>\n<p><em>Whisper<\/em> needs a bit more time to adjust. We are working on daily 20-minute holds with her and she gets through them okay. She needs a firm hand to be caught, but she&#8217;s not impossible. She is wary of treats but will take them if you shove it right into her nose. She does nibble on fingers, but pulls back at the slightest &#8216;eep&#8217; like a very good girl. She gravitates toward other low-energy rats in the cage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip-Toe<\/strong><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/i242.photobucket.com\/albums\/ff234\/MaineRatRescue\/2018%20Fosters\/Lena%20M%20-%20Leominster%20MA\/Tiptoe%20and%20Whisper\/tip1_zpsxfsbt9al.jpg\" width=\"501\" height=\"501\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i242.photobucket.com\/albums\/ff234\/MaineRatRescue\/2018%20Fosters\/Lena%20M%20-%20Leominster%20MA\/Tiptoe%20and%20Whisper\/tip2_zpsk4iqi9ew.jpg\" width=\"501\" height=\"501\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Whisper<\/strong><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i242.photobucket.com\/albums\/ff234\/MaineRatRescue\/2018%20Fosters\/Lena%20M%20-%20Leominster%20MA\/Tiptoe%20and%20Whisper\/whisp1_zpshkqkitdx.jpg\" width=\"501\" height=\"501\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i242.photobucket.com\/albums\/ff234\/MaineRatRescue\/2018%20Fosters\/Lena%20M%20-%20Leominster%20MA\/Tiptoe%20and%20Whisper\/whisp2_zpsrrxxbfsb.jpg\" width=\"501\" height=\"501\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These ladies came to us on 8\/17\/18 from a shelter that had too many rats surrendered at once to place them all.
