Rats

Meet Badger, Pebble & Goose

Badger, Pebble & Goose

Male

2.5 years

This cute trio of ratties would be great for more experienced ratty carers. Badger is quiet nervous and worried about a lot of things. Goose is friendly, inquisitions, but a little grabby with food because he struggles a little with sight. He will tolerate bum tickles. Enjoys when you speak to him in a silly high pitch voice. Pebble likes to softly “test bite” and is also a little skittish. He likes to explore and is the most active. Frequently builds nests for badger to use! The boys are all a little overweight so need to be fed a lower energy diet.

Key basic requirements

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.

Identified a suitable exotics vet near you and how you will fund emergency vet treatment
