Additional information
Like other small pets, they should be kept safely away from other animals in the home. As prey animals, they may feel threatened by the presence of other species such as cats and dogs.
Family and environment
What kind of family am I looking for?
Billie is looking for a more experienced family, she can become quite timid at times and get a bit worried with handling. We are sure when she has some confident rats around her she will soon learn to trust more.
What type of environment would suit me?
Rats are highly intelligent and active animals that need plenty of space to climb, explore and play. For a group of 3-4 rats, a suitable enclosure should measure at least 80cm wide, 50cm deep and 80cm high, with bar spacing no larger than 1cm. Providing enrichment is just as important as the cage size – rats need a stimulating environment to keep them happy and engaged. They also require opportunities for exercise and exploration daily outside of their cage.

About Billie
Meet Billie, she has been looking for a home for over 200 days!
Billie is a sweet natured girl who is looking for her new home with some new rats to snuggle with. After recently losing her two sisters, she is feeling a little lost and has become quite reserved. Billie loves her free range time, where she has so much fun exploring all the different enrichment and bobbing for peas in water.
She does find handling a bit scary, and can get spooked with this. Once she is out of her cage she is a wonder to hold and will brux and eye boggle with some gentle scratches around her ears, showing a very sweet personality.
If you have some rats who would love to fit Billie in their group, please do get in contact with us via the website.
Things to note
Do you have a single rat who is looking for a companion? Or a group looking for new friends? As well as rehoming bonded pairs or groups, we can help to find companions for single rats too. We offer an onsite mixing service and can also provide you with ongoing support if you choose to mix at home instead.
