This little darling is going to her forever home tomorrow AND she will get to live with three of her pups
These three little cuties are looking for a home to call their very own
A little about them: They are a bonded trio and must be adopted together. They are 7 & ½ weeks old and are friendly little balls of fluff who love attention.
A little about us: We are a small scale rat rescue located in King George, VA. Feel free to check out our Facebook by searching for VA Rat Rescue. (Or Lovely Little Rats Rattery - our old name.) We no longer breed, but we do raise rescue litters that are transferred to us from local shelters, or are brought in from community referrals.

Y'ALL, we are back in action
We took a few steps back these past two and a half years. We continued to own rats as pets but refrained from breeding and took in minimal rescues. After some serious consideration (and preparation) we have decided to resume providing rescue services for the local community. We are located in King George, VA and we have begun to work with local animal shelters.
We currently have two nursing litters that will be available for adoption in two weeks and four weeks (respectively). Stay tuned for more info and pictures of the pups!
New friend! He was in a tank by himself because he kept beating up the other gerbils. Hopefully, with some more enrichment he will be able to accept a friend, since gerbils tend to like being in groups. If not, he’ll get plenty of love and playtime with his new mama.
If anybody has any tips on getting gerbils to accept new friends, please let me know. Or, if he is destined to live by himself, what are some fun things I can do with him so that he can have a good time being an only child?

This red pumpkin toadlet was filmed at Serra do Mar State Park - Santa Virgínia Nucleus. In the images we can see two of his defense behaviors, which is rubbing his paw over his eye and opening his mouth.
Agatha is smiling about her munched leaf. Wanda is potatoing. Typical piggie evening.
Please excuse my comfy clothes…. but I cannot get over Agatha’s face in this picture! I just had to share. This is their first time having grapes and they were a hit!
