These rats came to us on 9\/1\/18. They were part of a rescue in Hollis, NH where 14 rats were reported to be dumped outside by a lake. Given the trauma of their situation, they will need a patient and understanding forever home.<\/p>\n

Fostered by Deana in Merrimack, NH.<\/strong><\/p>\n

UPDATE 10\/10\/18:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“These boys have come a long way. They still need some work, and will need a patient, loving home. They are opening up, but are still pretty skittish. Loud noises and sudden movements scare them. Most of them do not want to be picked up. I usually sit with the cage open and put my arms inside. They will all eventually come over and climb onto my arms, lick my hand, and do some nibbles.<\/p>\n

Mr. Black<\/em> is very friendly. He was curious and friendly from the moment we rescued him, surprisingly! He is the easiest to handle and pick up.<\/p>\n

Bebop<\/em> is a chunky man. He is the first one that we caught, by hand! He is a little shy, but is friendly. He will come over and say hello to you. He is a big silly boy.<\/p>\n

Rocksteady<\/em> is the second rat that we caught, also by hand! He is very curious and friendly. He runs right over when you open the cage. He may be older, and has a bluish cloud in his eye.<\/p>\n

Mr. Pink<\/em> is the most shy and still a little scared. He did bite me when we first got him. However, he is doing well now and is coming around. He will come over and say hello after a little while, but still does not want to be picked up.”<\/p>\n

UPDATE 12\/15\/18:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“They are so sweet! I love them. They are a tad chunky. They still get spooked if I move quickly or loudly. However, they will come right back to my hands and groom them, especially Mr. Pink! They love to snuggle together. They get nervous when I pick them up, but are getting better. On the couch they hide behind pillows and lay down.”<\/p>\n
