Biggie's Story

Biggie the rat was purchased at a petstore because the owner felt bad for him, being the only rat there with no friends. However, the owner was a little overwhelmed with his nippy/bitey personality and chose to relinquish him in the hopes he could find ratty friends. He isn't aggressive when we are cleaning or anything, and will take a treat from our hands and let us pet him sometimes, but we do watch our fingers around him. We are hoping someone experienced in rat bonding can take on Biggie and find him some friends!<br/><br/>We have tried bonding him but it resulted in Biggie getting hurt so he is still on the lookout for that perfect rat or human buddy!https://www.lostwoodsas.com/adoption-application

Lost Woods Animal Sanctuary's Adoption Policy
Adopters first fill out an application on our website, which asks about the adopter's household, how they plan on housing their new pet and what they plan on feeding. Because exotics have very species-specific housing and dietary needs, we have a director reach out to each adopter to discuss proper housing, diet and husbandry, as well as lifespan and handling. Adopters can choose to schedule a meet-and-greet with the animal or adopt without a meet. We need to receive a picture of the enclosure when it is ready, and when the enclosure and the adopter are ready, we schedule the adoption. Our adoption fees are set to be comparable to the animal's price at a pet store. Adopters sign a contract certifying that if they can no longer care for the animal, they must return them to Lost Woods. When adopting bonded pairs/groups, each bondmate is half fee. Fees: Rabbit, chinchilla, or tortoise $100 Bearded dragon or degu $50 Guinea pig $40 pair $30 single Leopard gecko $30 Rat, hamster, or gerbil $20 Mouse $15
