Juno & Freya are bonded sisters who are an estimated 12-14 months old. They were originally purchased from a pet store, and after being passed on from one relative to another, they were finally surrendered to the Ottawa Pet Rat Rescue as their latest well-intended guardian could no longer keep them. Both girls had spent their lives in a barren Rat Resort and arrived skinny, slightly skiddish but overall healthy! After spending only 2 nights with the rescue, they had become considerably bra...

As you can see from their photo, they are always fighting for affection and it is pretty much a race to the door any time you walk by.

Danny is currently on antibiotics for a severe Respiratory and Urinary Tract Infection. He seems to have responded to the medication we...
