New Fall Litter!

 We have a new batch of baby rats (three litters, in fact), comprising of 23 pups! We've been busy holding all of them and making sure they're socialized. They are finally ready to go to their new homes. They are $5 each (except for one dumbo that is $10, and two "special" babies that are free!). Rats are very social and do best in groups, so make sure you have at least two rats.

Here's the process: Email me with your request of which rats you would like: rexburgrats @ gmail.com (take out those spaces). I will put your name on them so other interested parties know they're not available. I will send you my address and you pick them up. It's simple!

SPECIAL RATS (free to a good home)

HOME! RESERVED FOR KELSEY! Nash, the One-Eyed Pirate: male, black, berkshire (free!) 
Our special little Nash lost one eye when he was 14 days old. We think his mother stepped on his face and scratched his eye. It's all healed closed and he's perfectly healthy now. Rats have poor vision anyway, so having only one eye doesn't affect his abilities at all. He acts completely normally and doesn't seem to know he only has one eye. He gets treats constantly and has turned into an adorably chubby baby boy. We love him so much and hope he can find a good home.


HOME! RESERVED FOR LILLIAN! Dumbledora (AKA Stumpy): female, agouti, capped, blazed (free!) 
This miracle baby was lucky to survive birth. She stalled her mother's labor by several hours and we were worried we would lose them both. She was eventually born and both survived, but she was born with the fingers on her hand severely bruised. The fingers ceased growing, and they shriveled up (like Dumbledore, from Harry Potter). So she still has her wrist, but no fingers. She behaves just like any other rat, climbing on the bars of her cage, picking up her food, and grooming herself. She's probably our friendliest rat, though, because we've been monitoring her development, so she's been held more than most babies.
