Other: These girls are to be homed to an experienced home only. Must go with other more confident does, they have intro'ed easily with our neutered group and are slowly gaining confidence. Sif is most squealy, Frigga is most flighty and Freya is coming round the quickest.

These girls had a bath yesterday and coped very well indeed! They have come on nicely and, although handling is not their favourite past-time at the moment they are easier to pick up. they will tolerate being picked up once or twice now before squealing.

They also had their claws clipped with no biting and minimal scratching (but most rats will squirm).

We still want them to go with other does, but will consider the more beginner homes for them (assuming an already established group)

These girls have had no interest at all.

Their confidence has grown a lot, Sif is now one of the first rats to the door of the cage for treats. They freerange with our rats and are no problem to get out and put back.

We would consider letting them go to a home with no rats (rather then to go into an existing group) , provided that home has had previous rat experience. Or a beginner home with a current group for them to bond with.

These girls are gorgeous and deserve a nice home to settle in.

The girls have not been all that keen for freerange up til now. They usually stay in the carrier. But I wonder if its because the litter is more interesting? Spot the girlies?



Freya enjoyed an adventure on her own though


These girls remain on the shy side although a lot more confident then when they first came to us. They need a good home to fully bring them out of their shell.
