Belladonna- Female, double rexBorn in our care on June 6th, 2026, this litter came into the world after their mom was found dumped near a river.

What they do have going for them is their softness, their stability, and their potential. With patient adopters who understand that confidence takes time, they’re likely to make steady progress once they’re in a calm, predictable home.Belladonna is the unique one of the group — a double rex, meaning her coat will change throughout her entire life. She’ll cycle through fuzzy, patchy, curly, and nearly hairless phases, and all of that is completely normal for her.We adopt our rats out in same‑sex pairs, since rats are deeply social animals who thrive with companionship. The only exception is when an adopter already has a friendly, same‑sex rat at home who’s a good match for a newcomer. This helps ensure every rat has the social support they need to feel secure, confident, and enriched.She will not be available for…
