Male
2-3 months
We have a group of 6 young boys looking for their perfect forever home! They haven’t been handled much and are a little shy but are showing signs of real progress in foster care. We are still deciding on names for them. We would be happy for them to be adopted as two trios.
Interested in adopting The 6 Ratty Boys? Scroll down to see our requirements for rats and to register your interest.
If you want to apply to adopt guinea pigs, please ensure you have the following:
To consider you as a rat adopter we require you to meet these welfare standards as a minimum. We are happy to advise on cages, diet, enrichment and just about anything else before you dive into buying new things for you rats.
Please remember that pet shops and generally poorly informed and put profit before animal welfare so accept their guidance with caution. Often, cages marketed as ‘extra large’ are below even the basic minimum welfare requirements.
Even if you have kept rat before, please take a read through our rat care information page linked below as welfare standards improve often.
A large cage, with suitable bar spacing, non-mesh flooring, lots of climbing space
Identified a suitable exotics vet near you and how you will fund emergency vet treatment
Correct knowledge on rat nutrition and diet
Suitable enrichment, toys and activities
Be able to provide a home to multiple rats as they cannot be kept alone
Property owner's permission to keep rats (if renting)
Considered who will care for rats when you are away on holiday
Please include as much information as possible. We put great effort into selecting the best home so we don't reserve an animal until the final stage of the adoption process.
