Introducing Poof and Ninja!

These boys were rescued from some college students who decided they could no longer give them the care they deserved, so we took them in.

Poof and Ninja are father and son. You can see it when they give you a ratty smile, because they both have crooked bottom teeth--must be genetic!

Poof is huge, and definitely the daddy. He is patient and friendly, and inquisitive. He weighs a pound and a half--big guy! He's such a lover. He likes to have his head and belly rubbed and is more like a dog than a rat! He is an agouti hooded rat with standard ears.


Ninja's a big guy too, like his dad. He is a little more skeptical of people, but still very sweet. He has discovered that their new hammock from the Rat Attack Team (click here!) has a hidey-pocket and spends most of his time in it. He is a black broken-hooded rat with dalmatian spots.
