Hi, I’m Barley

Hi, I'm Barley! An adult, male, cinnamon rat.

As a rat, I'm perfect for anyone looking for a small pet with lots of personality. I'm curious, playful, and I love scritches behind the ear. My dream is to go to a home where I'll get lots of training, toys, and enrichment to keep me occupied. I'd also prefer if you had another rat for me to be best buds with, as otherwise I might get lonely or stressed. I love to climb and explore, so my enclosure should have horizontal bars, and different levels.

If I've burrowed my way into your heart, apply to adopt me here: https://www.rspcaqld.org.au/expression-of-interest-to-adopt
Don't forget to upload pictures of the enclosure I'll be living in.
