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?
Rats can make excellent pets for families and are often suited to children who can handle them calmly and confidently. They are intelligent, social animals who love human interaction and can form strong bonds with their owners. Rats thrive on routine, and love to come out of their cage to play every day.
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.

They are boys who will keep you smiling with their silly antics and cheeky personalities. They’re a wonderful pair who would make fantastic companions for someone looking for two fun-loving, affectionate and entertaining boys.
We’re sure their new family will have lots of fun getting to know their individual personalities and watching them grow into even more confident, happy boys.

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.
