* Bert and Ernie found their forever home together with amazing people! Woo hoo! *

Someone put Bert and Ernie in a box and abandoned them at the end of a residential driveway in Hamilton. Hamilton Animal Services was called and they took the rats to the shelter. No owner came forward to claim them, and HAS reached out to us for help.
We were happy to take these two sweethearts in when a foster home became available. They had a vet visit on their rescue day and were given a clean bill of health. They are now ready to find their forever home! We are asking they be adopted as a pair.

When Bert and Ernie arrived into our care, they were friendly but would panic when being picked up. With lots of patience, they’re now better about being picked up, as long as you’re slow and gentle with them. They enjoy petting, ear scritches, and spending time on the couch with their foster family. They LOVE snacks, and they come running from wherever they are to see what food their foster family has to offer. Bert and Ernie are currently in a double Critter Nation cage, and we hope that their forever home will have the same size cage for them, or larger.

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.

Can’t adopt but want to help?
