I went down to Toronto Animal Services South yesterday and there was a lone white rat named Rizzo there; I was actually involved in his rescue and was surprised he was still there.
My partner thinks that I was destined to take him in because I assumed they had euthanized the feeders I brought them (long, confidential story).
I'm worried he won't get adopted, but I'll be waiting until after the mega adoption event (ends June 7th) to see if he's still with Animal Services.
My question is: what kind of companion would be best for a lone one year old male and how difficult (ish) would the introduction process be? Toronto Humane Society has some other males who I think were from the same batch of rats, but are a lot younger.
I've never socialized or handled shy rats before so I'm kind of worried that I don't know what I'm doing.
