Nebula and Nova were surrendered to a Quebec shelter by their owners because they had too many pets. When a foster home became available, we were happy to get these cute sisters out of the shelter.

They came to us by way of One Last Chance, and Freedom Drivers volunteers. We’re very thankful for all the wonderful people who donate their time to transport rescued animals all across the country.

Nebula and Nova are shy ladies so far. They’re very curious though, and have been exploring their large enclosure since arriving at the foster home. They’ll have a vet visit soon for a health check, and hopefully all will be well. Unfortunately, Nebula and Nova were housed with male rats in their previous home, so they’ll have to stay with us for the gestation period to be sure they’re not pregnant. Fingers crossed they’re not!

Welcome to Ladybird, Nebula and Nova! We’re so happy you’re here!

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?
Monetary donations are always needed, but if you’d like to donate something specifically for the rats in our care, donations of rat food, baby blankets, rat hammocks and fleece liners for Critter Nation cages are very much appreciated!
