*Marshall and Mathers found their forever home together with lovely people! Yay! *

We received this message from Kingston Humane Society: “44 rats were dumped in a recycling bin on a local trail in a small creek. Seven of them drowned, but we managed to catch and save the 37 remaining. Looking for help to place them.” How could we say no?
Marshall and Mathers are two of the six rats we were able to take in from this group. They’re shy guys and not used to being handled, but they’re getting better every day. When they first arrived at their foster home, Marshall and Mathers were being quite scrappy with each other. There were no injuries, but to help them get along and to make it easier for them to find a forever home when they’re ready, we had Marshall and Mathers neutered. They’ve been getting along much better already! Still have the odd disagreement, but nothing serious. Marshall and Mathers are healed from their surgeries, and they’re ready to find their forever home!  These boys love all kinds of snacks, especially kale, banana, carrot, and Cheerios.  They’re very active rats, and they love their time out of their cage to play.

We’re asking that Marshall and Mathers be adopted as a pair. They would do best in a home with someone who has experience with rats who need a socialization. They would not be a good fit for children.

IS A RAT THE RIGHT PET FOR YOU?

---

Ladybird recommends Critter Nation cages. They are hands down the most spacious, and best quality enclosure for small animals on the market. They come in single and double sizes, and can be modified and customized to create enrichment and provide comfort. Their design and solid manufacturing almost entirely eliminates the possibility of accidental escape. Critter Nation cages are available (or can be ordered) at most local pet supply stores.
