Young Pet Rat Needs Rehomed

Santa Clarita CA

Description

We are looking for a new home for Birch, our young male rat appox. 6mo old. Looking for someone experienced in rat handling (preferably with other rats to play with) who has a patient hand, as he's a sweet but shy and flighty boy. He's been handled and socialized all his life but has difficulties getting out of the cage and has bitten before when I've chased him around with my hand. Rehoming because he doesn't get along with his current cage-mates and seems to have territorial-based aggression with them. I love him and his adorable little face very much, but the safety of his brothers comes first, and I'm not experienced enough to train him out of said aggression (we've tried exercise, stimulation, and separation. Short of a $300 neutering, I don't know what else to try) No snakes please! He's not a feeder, he's a cute little chonky boy who needs someone with the time and energy to manage his quirks. Favorite hobbies include long walks on the beach, redecorating the cage, playing keep-away, hoarding banana chips, and yelling at his brothers for touching his xbox. Willing to travel for a drop off!
