About this Rat
Several young male rats came into the rescue from an unintended breeding situation that escalated. The youngest of the group were quite small when they came in and have an estimated birth date of 4/23/25. Other boys appear to be March 2025 babies. They are very busy and active with good personalities. A few are on the shyer side, but have responded really well to regular handling and human interaction. None have been nippy. These boys will need an environment with a lot on interaction and enrichment to keep them busy. They have been introduced to litter boxes and are taking to them quite well. Proof of a proper enclosure is required: one with solid floors and shelves to prevent foot injuries, bar spacing small enough to prevent escape or heads getting caught, good ventilation to prevent respiratory issues, and enough room to climb, explore, and provide enrichment activities like digging, burrowing, and balancing. Four cubic feet per rat is optimal. Like other animals, rats are very intelligent and need mental stimulation. They are also social creatures so they should be adopted in pairs at a minimum. Rats are heat sensitive, so cage placement is important: an area in the home that does not get too hot in the warmer weather. They do best in areas that are completely dark for at least 8 hours a day with no nightlights or other ambient lighting. They can be adopted in pairs or more. Their adoption fee is $40 for the first two, and $15 for any additional babies you cannot resist adding to your family.

Adopt Young Male Rats and Receive Young Male Rats's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Young Male Rats's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Young Male Rats's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Young Male Rats, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Young Male Rats's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Young Male Rats was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Young Male Rats’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Young Male Rats’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Young Male Rats’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
