#20250195, “Aster”, Rat, Pink-Eyed-White, , Standard Ears\/Standard Coat, Female, DOB: 05\/31\/2024, Spayed\/Neutered?: Yes 09\/02\/2025<\/p>\n

#20250190, “Iris”, Rat, Agouti, , Standard Ears\/Standard Coat, Female, DOB: 05\/31\/2024, Spayed\/Neutered?: Yes 09\/02\/2025<\/p>\n<\/div>

UPDATE 12\/2\/25:<\/strong><\/p>\n

These girls are fun! My grandson loves playing with them.<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t tolerate being held, but are easy to carry in a snuggle sack. Althea makes them for me and I give one to every adopter that takes home rats that prefer it to bare hands.<\/p>\n

They get along well with each other but don\u2019t accept new rats. They will provide hours of entertainment with something as simple as a piece of packing paper.<\/p>\n

I would adopt them myself but I can\u2019t keep every foster that steals my heart \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

UPDATE 8\/4\/25:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Looking for endless hours of fun and laughter? Look no further! These girls really keep the fun going. Bonus they are also gorgeous.<\/p>\n

They were shy with humans when they arrived but have made exceptional progress and are now a favorite group of my grandsons.<\/p>\n

Iris is the daredevil of the duo, ready for any adventure. Pictures don\u2019t do her justice. Probably in part because she rarely sits still long enough to get a picture. She enjoys the \u201cpool\u201d and dig box and cheerio parties.<\/p>\n

Aster is a little more laid back, but still loves a good cheerio party and finding cool stuff to build nests with.<\/p>\n

These girls all prefer to use a snuggle sack to be carried rather than bare hands.<\/p>\n

These girls would do best in a home where they will not be introduced to other rats.<\/p>\n<\/div>
