Really so sad. I know it's just a rat but it was raised by people. And they are intelligent. Your a good person for taking it. I'm not in the market for a rat, lol but maybe shadow rabbit can fit it in. She has lots of creatures. Just kidding shadow.When I went to hawkers on Sat. and someone left a hooded rat in a box on the bleachers. I really need to find him a home. Any takers? He is super friendly!!!
