Long Island Animal Rescue: Baby Rats Need A Home

My friend Lenore's pet rat Shawn gave birth recently and her babies need homes. Lenore purchased Shawn under the belief that she was male a rat. That's what the pet store clerk advised her. Oviously the clerk was mistaken and Lenore got more than she bargained for! She does not want to give the babies to the pet store out of fear that they will be sold as snake food. I have posted some cute photos below to aid in their adoption.

Many people have negative feelings about rats. However, rats are intelligent, playful and affectionate animals. They are highly social and possess a lifespan of 2 - 3 years. They make great starter pets for kids and adults alike.
