Additional information

There can be other pets in the home, but the rat enclosure will need to be in a room that can be shut off from any cats or dogs.

All of our single/pairs of rats are waiting to mix with owned pets. Please only apply for them if you already have a rat(s) who is in search of a companion(s).

If you currently do not have any rats in your care and would like to rehome, please check the trio’s/groups we have available.

Family and environment

What kind of family am I looking for?

Rats make excellent pets for all the family; they are inquisitive and affectionate and love to come out and play. Toad and Pigeon would be great for new rat owners who would give Toad a little more patience to watch his confidence shine.

What type of environment would suit me?

Rats need to be housed in a large cage filled with suitable enrichment to keep them interested and active. The ideal size cage for 3-4 rats is: 80cm deep by 50cm wide by 80cm high.

About Pigeon and Toad

Toad and Pigeon are a wonderful little duo, Pigeon will often be the first to come to the front of the cage where he will give you lots of sniffs and even a kiss if you’re lucky. Toad will hang back a little longer but its not too long before he gets curious to see what all the fuss is about. They’re looking for a home that already have male, or spayed female rats to create a little trio or group. They are very friendly boys who would make a wonderful addition to any family.

If you can give these two boys a home, please do contact us via the website.
