Lazlo Rat Rat Lowell, MA

Lazlo is a curious little guy who loves to explore! Even though he lives in a cage, rats have a good time when there's company. They tend to be particularly sociable with their own kind, so giving him a roommate of the same sex can alleviate his boredom and loneliness. He has never lived with another rat and we would recommend a slow introduction if you have another rat you are looking for a friend for. We recommend keeping his cage in a room where people regularly congregate, like the living room. He'll have a good time just watching you and satisfying his curiosity about the people in his home. The bigger the cage, the better. Rats love to have room to stretch their legs and move around. Lazlo does not mind being handled but his red eyes make him hard of sight. Rats also have fun when you let them out of their cage for some supervised exploration in the house. "Supervised" is the key word, because left to his own devices he can chew on inappropriate things like cords and wall corners. Running around out in the open or even cuddling you is a good time for yourself and Lazlo!
