Let's find these two moms a home!

Bella has straight fur and the big head spot, she has been just the biggest sweetheart, and loves her snuggles and pets. Luna is a rex girl who is always having a messy hair day haha, she's full of energy and s***k and is always begging to come out of the cage to play!

These bonded girls are about 4.5 months old and must be adopted together. They get along great with the baby girls and could be adopted with an additional baby or two if wanted.

Adopters needed for baby rats in Boise Idaho! The first litter is ready to go home now!! Babies from the other three litters, and two of the moms (approximately 4 months old and very friendly) will be available within a week.

These moms were rescued after being dumped in a backyard when their owners were evicted. Unfortunately all were pregnant, and 42 bouncing baby rats have taken over my life! There is a good mix of fun patterns, dumbo, rex, and double rex.

Rats must be adopted in pairs or more, any double rex babies will need to be adopted with permanently fuzzy siblings, and proof of an appropriate enclosure and ability to care for them will be required. $15 per rat.

These rats are pets only and are NOT to be used for breeding under any circumstances, as most of them show signs of high white markings which can cause megacolon and death in offspring.

To adopt we require an application which can be found here: https://www.theratretreat.org/adoptions

Idaho Gives ends tonight at midnight. We want to thank all of our donors for ensuring we can provide good medical treatment for the rats in our care.

This good boy, Grunt, has been dealing with bad pneumonia but with some trial and error was able to get the treatment he needed and made great improvement. You can see a big difference in his x-rays.

Foster update:

Our permanent foster program allows us to keep rats permanently. This can be helpful with large bonded groups that we don't want to separate. These rats truly love each other. ♥️

Foster update:

Little Dottie loves "helping" us with anything she can, and is excited to finally be able to hang out with the big girls in the big cage! She enjoys digging tunnels in her dig box and causing just enough mischief with her roommates to live up to her nickname of Naughty Dottie.

Right now all The Rattisons are happy it's spring so they can snack on dandelions, and are looking forward to having some fresh blackberry canes (thornless) from the garden for climbing and nesting. 😊

Thank you for your donations to help us support this wonderful foster home. ♥️
