NYNAEVE & NAVANI
SPECIES FERRET
SEX SPAYED FEMALE
AGE 5YRS
BESTIE BONDED
NOTES: They are European polecat/domestic ferret hybrids, up to date on rabies vaccines, with no current medical needs (Nynaeve has a hormonal implant for rat tail two years ago that resolved the issue and does not yet need replacement). Handled since birth, they are active, playful, and enjoy being carried, but are not cuddly; they will nip if you sit still too long and may bite if threatened. Nail trims require salmon oil on their bellies as a distraction. They require an experienced ferret home with no children or other pets unless complete separation is guaranteed.

JELLY ROLL + CANNOLI + SORBET
SPECIES RATS
SEX NEUTERED MALES
AGE 2 YRS
BESTIE BONDED
NOTES: Adopted from AHS, this trio of very skittish rats needs an experienced, patient home where they can thrive at their own pace without expectations of becoming cuddly pets. At least two have a bite history and rat-to-rat aggression, so they must be kept separated from other rats aside from one another. Though not tolerant of being held, all three are cute, curious, and showing great progress: they accept treats from hands, love sniffing their humans, and show potential to warm up over time. Jelly Roll is highly treat-motivated and will gently hold your finger for snacks. Cannoli acts tough, but is an anxious soul learning to trust. Sorbet is a silly sleeper who loves curling up in hammocks in the cutest poses.

Be aware that this is not a surrender form, and your pet will not be added to our waiting list or be listed as one of our foster pets. Animals listed in this form or on this page are not in our care. Be thorough and honest when listing information about your pet, as this will help them find the most appropriate home for their needs and will be less likely to be rehomed. We are sharing this information to assist you in finding new homes without the stress of going into a shelter. All communication and agreements are between the original pet owner and the family the animal is placed with. MN Pocket Pet Rescue is not liable, responsible, or affiliated in any way with the transfer or care of any animals listed in the Community Rehoming Program. We are simply a space for pocket pet lovers to connect.
