#20260286, “Giggles”, Rat, Grey, , Standard Ears\/Standard Coat, Female, DOB: 09\/23\/2025, Spayed\/Neutered?: No<\/p>\n

UPDATE 8\/20\/26:<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you like a combination of sweet and a little spicy, these girls are perfect for you! Their foster says they are a lot of fun, and they always come to the cage door when she comes close.<\/p>\n

Giggles is a “dream rat,” gentle and sweet, and easy to handle. She’s as friendly as she is cute!<\/p>\n

Black Beauty (BB) is also sweet and friendly, but a bit more spicy. She sometimes thinks fingers are for tasting, so you need to be careful when offering treats. She does not mean any harm, and she will move off if you make a loud “eep’ noise.<\/p>\n

It may be best that they go to a home where the humans have some rat experience where there are not young kids who don’t understand to keep fingers out of the cage.<\/p>\n

They are great at using a transport container to take them out of the cage for play time. They just climb in and off we go!<\/p>\n

The two of them LOVE to rearrange their cage. They have toy boxes and delight in emptying them and bringing the toys all over the cage. It is so adorable to watch them work.<\/p>\n<\/div>
