Crouton came to us on 12\/14\/25, with her sisters Cheesecake & Miso, because their owner was moving and couldn’t take them along. Due to persistent internal abscesses and her age, Crouton was given sanctuary status.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Fostered by Jamie in Concord, NH.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

UPDATE 3\/16\/26:<\/strong><\/p>\n

These girls are some of the friendliest, easily handled rats I’ve had the pleasure of fostering!\u00a0 If you ever wished that you could have female rats that had lazy, cuddly moments like older male rats, these are the girls!<\/p>\n

Crouton turned two years old on 3\/1 and is the senior lady of the bunch, but you would not know it by her abundant energy!\u00a0 She loves to explore, climb and even jump during free roam. She has not yet met a food she hasn’t loved.<\/p>\n

When Crouton came to us, she had a large internal mass that turned out to be an ovarian tumor.\u00a0 During surgery on 12\/23, she had the ovarian tumor and a small mammary tumor removed and was spayed.\u00a0 On 3\/3, Crouton had a second surgery to remove an additional mammary tumor.\u00a0 Crouton will need to be closely monitored to check for any additional growing lumps.\u00a0 Luckily, she gladly accepts the belly rubs and attention!<\/p>\n

They are all truly special!<\/p>\n<\/div>
