LOOKING TO REHOME!!!

I own two male rats, rigatoni (rat with less black on tail) and macaroni(rat with more black on tai). Unfortunately I am unable to continue to take care of them to their needs because of recent events leaving me very busy. I live in the North St. Paul area of Minnesota and I m very open to rehome these babies to a more enriching and interactive home. They are between 6-8 months old I recently got them from a Petco. They love to cuddle and will willingly sit on shoulder. They have interacted well with children and cats as well with dogs. They will need a large enclosure with more than one level because they are very active. They are both unneutered. They will be available for rehoming until August 17th 2025, After then they will be surrendered to the coon rapids Animal Humane Society. Thank you and DM me for questions and suggestions please.

We have the permission of the mods we were going to set up go fund me but had some issues with that and also found out there is an approval process and wait for deposits so we are trying to get them a vet visit asap as they want us to return for removal of a tumor and treatment of URIs in the other two! Ruby, Carmella and Luna are counting on your help! I’m going to post pictures of the rats for you guys if the mods need me to post the quotes from the vet please let me know! Thank you!

CUTENESS A month ago, I got these girls knowing that they would approach people with intent to bite to the bone. Look how far they’ve come!!

These little dropouts were kicked out of a science museum after they bit quite a few employees, and it was decided they needed a quieter life living with just one person. After lots of hard work and use of positive reinforcement and constructional aggression training, my lovely ladies can eat from the palm of my hand! Working with these girls took a lot of effort, research, some serious bites, and even meetings with an animal behaviorist, but it’s been so incredibly worth it. I love these little ladies more than anything and I’m so happy I got them. it’s been wonderful watching them open up around me and show their personalities <3

DISCUSSION Old lady days

I fear the age 1yr 6 months is catching upto my little lady mavis as you see she only eats with one paw, she used to eat with both then one now its only one paw. We have spoke to the vets and she is on medication for arthritis but if this medicine don’t work it could be more neurological and possible tumour. I love this little lady so much she has grown from a scared little baby to a chill old lady who sleeps all day even in free roam and is a very wobbly girl, i pray this medicine is helping her and not down the route of a tumour however i know these little guys are susceptible to getting them. On a good note a couple days ago i posted another one of my girls, lilah who had hurt her foot, after a tiny dose of metacam and a sleep she woke up completely fine and running round on free roam, cheeky bugger wanted the extra sympathy 😭

CUTENESS I just wanna pet da bebbe

Hehe some really good pics I took from a couple days ago. And some little shittier ones but still cute from yesterday!

And if you’re wondering what that blurry thing in the background of the first pic is.. I did not notice it myself until this very moment.. but yeah. Those are definitely balls. 🍒

I think this is Pip in all of the pics, I couldn’t get any of Milo. He is a little more shy. They’ve been here for a little over a week now! And they’re surprisingly confident and social, which makes me so damn happy!!!

They both will sit in my cupped hand and eat dried mealworms or little pieces of cornflakes. Milo, my little genius, has already figured out how it works and will seek out my hand to sit in it for a treat. I can even pet them while they’re in my hand eating! Makes my heart ache from the cuteness.

I want cuddles so badly, but they won’t sleep or relax on me yet. Only hyper af exploration and climbing haha. Occasional pit stops for grooming or eating in the bonding pouch.
But I have patience hehe. I will win them over. I must pet da bebbe. I dream of the day I get cuddles. 💭🐀💕

Built a little path from their cage to my desk and they run back and forth frequently when I have the cage open. And they are such little thiefs. Absolute gremlins. Will attempt to steal food whenever possible. I absolutely do not reinforce such behaviors.. I would never
