Luckily these girls escaped that breeder home in July 2018 so while unlikely, there is a chance these girls were exposed, but never became ill. We have been advised by multiple vets that the girls are well past a period where the infection would be active or contagious, and the likelihood that they present a risk to healthy rats is minimal. However, between the medical risk and their age, we decided to make these two permanent, sanctuary fosters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE 6\/28\/19:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Walnut<\/em> is a very middle of the road girl&#8211;she&#8217;s friendly and gives kisses, but can also blend into the background.<\/p>\n<p><em>Starbuck<\/em> is a sweet little old lady and has a cataract in one eye.
