Vetiver ✨
Spice Level: 🌶️ Chipotle Pepper 😉
Age: 1.5-2 years
Favorite things: My food, your food, their food, a quick nap at the start of free roam, chew toys, puzzle toys
Partner in Crime: Patchouli (an innocent bystander!)
Vetiver came to us from .pint.sized.rescue where she had been surrendered as a lone rat. Her original owner bought her with the intention of breeding her with his male rat but she failed to get pregnant. While in rescue, Vetiver was treated for a URI. She also had a whirly tail which has since resolved itself.
Vetiver was very withdrawn and bitey, however, we like them spicy🌶️ When intros between Patchouli and the other herbs (Oregano, Catnip and Cecely) failed, we decided to foster-to-adopt Vetiver as a friend for Patchouli! Patchouli taught Vetiver to trust humans and she slowly came out of her shell. She is still more of a rat’s rat than a people rat but she’s happy and well adjusted now. She’s very smart and will run up when her name is called to check out a new treat or toy.
Besides a small issue with barbering fur along her feet and lower back, Vetiver has been otherwise healthy and now only bites people ✨ when they deserve it ✨ and not even hard so like calm down 💜🐀
