Meet peter! This friendly little boy is looking for his new home. Rats are extremely social, and although they love their humans and form very strong bonds with them, they thrive with other rats! Rats like Peter love to climb and explore, so his cage should be multi-leveled, and contain many ladders, hammocks, toys, things to chew on, things to pick up and pull apart, comfy beds, houses, bedding, and scraps of paper for the rats to build nests with. Rats can also be litter box trained! Rats also need daily exercise time outside the cage. You can rat-proof a room by safely securing all wires and cords, blocking off any inappropriate hiding spaces, and setting up fun obstacle courses, tunnels, and toys for them to play with. You can also build rat-safe exercise pens using high cardboard or plastic walls. If you're ready for a new friend, stop by the shelter today! Peter must be adopted with CJ with our adopt a buddy program.
