Potty trained: No.
This animal’s daily routine: These guys like their sleep! free roam time at around 7/8. Treats after they go back in cage after free roam.
BFF: Nitrogen, Copper, and Gold are a bonded trio and must be adopted as a group.
Other species this pet has been exposed to and reaction: They've seen our large dogs and don't seem to mind them. Sometimes our cat goes into the room and they haven’t shown any interest or anxiety either, but the cat also ignores them.
Has this animal been exposed to children? What was their reaction? Yes! They are most used to my kiddo (12yo). They’re still shy but they’re maybe slightly less towards him.
Health concerns: None
Behavioral concerns: Nitrogen is in our trust training program.
12/17/24 update - Cuddle sack time, and slowly putting hands in and outside of cage to acclimate the rats to us.
03/23/25 update - We’ve worked on taking them out for free roam time by hand. And also giving them treats by hand. We will continue working on cuddling time as well.
Other notes:
Nitrogen, Copper & Gold MNPPR as transfers from another rescue.
