Why this pet is the one for you:
Meet Baby Spice! She is looking for a rat-savvy human who will spend lots of time with her. Baby Spice is still young and learning how to interact with the world. For such a tiny creature, new things can be very scary! It will be up to the humans in her life to show her that she can trust and be loved by humans. This socialization process will take time, gentle handling, and lots of treats. Rats are social creatures, so Baby Spice looks forward to living with a rat companion! If you don't already have a rat companion at home for her, she could go home with one (or more) of her rat buddies that she came into our care with. The "Spice Rats" would love to find homes together! Rats need to have a nice spacious enclosure (about 2.5 square feet per rat) filled with toys, hammocks, and hiding holes. Get creative! There is a wonderful DIY community for rat enrichment. At meal times, you can provide them with their rat pellets, safe fruits, and veggies! Monitor their intake of sweet/fatty foods so they can stay fit, healthy and happy. They'd love to get out of the enclosure to get a good stretch! Just be sure to put up all the cords and other chewable items, as well as blocking off any potential hiding spots that you can't reach. You can set them up with different toys and mazes and watch them break a mental sweat! Rats are extremely intelligent and love to work out puzzles in exchange for tasty snacks. Doesn't that sound like the perfect way to spend the day? Click on "Adopt Me" to get started!
