I was browsing around and I almost never find rats here in Tucson, but there is a cute litter at one of our local shelters. They don't really know much about ratties so the types seem to be wrong. I'd love to adopt this guy, but I'm not sure how Alexa would feel about another rat, especially a male rat. he would have to be neutered since all of our current rats are females.

The mom is also really cute.
