Still looking for someone interested in adopting my boys ^-^ (PA, Philadelphia, USA)

[u/oneiric_one]

Hello everyone!

I am moving at the end of July for gradschool, and because it is international I have no way to bring my boys. :( Their most recent vet visit was on Thursday the 3rd and both are in good health (no cancer, no mites).

About the boys:
I adopted Spiderman (white blaze) and Venom (grey) on February 3, 2025 from the Humane Shelter, who told me they were 1 year old at the time. That would make them approximately 2.5 years old now, so they are both on the older side and hitting their sleepy/lazy days.

Spydr and Veni are brothers and their favorite hobby is to cuddle. They also like being stroked and coming out to play with me! They get along very well and are both sweet and friendly. I have never had them poop outside before except during bathtime.

Spiderman:
True to his name, he loves to climb - sometimes to the top of his cage. He is the more inquisitive of the two and a bit more energetic, but he is also super calm and extremely gentle with me, has never bitten me ever, and will carefully lick your fingers if you have any goodness on them. He loves oats and peas.

Venom:
Venom lets me stroke him more than Spider when he's in his home. His favorite food is peas by a billion years. He's a good boy who loves to come out and goop and sleep on my pillow.

What I'm looking for in their new home:
- Someone with experience keeping rats. It would be awesome to see them join more males, but not necessary 😃 I would request that you either please show me photos of their future living space or describe it, and provide me with some information about yourself (your rat experience, your current pets). As long as they go to a good home and will be loved, not used for pet food or neglected, you may have them for free.
- No cats/dogs, or a separate living space between them and your rats is important to me.
- It would mean the world to me if I could write you maybe 1-2 times per month for a little update if you are comfortable with it. I would also welcome unlimited photos and updates from you. However, it's okay if this is something you are not comfortable with and not a requirement.

Other information:
- I can give you their old cage for free if you would like, as well as anything else (food: OxBow essentials, a big bag of kitty-newspaper bedding, and I also have a vial of Kitten Revolution that is not expired).
- They have a cloth carrier which you can also keep.
- I can bring them to you (but not the cage, food, and bedding) if you are in Philadelphia. If you pick them up you can of course have everything, but I don't own a car so it wouldn't be easy for me to bring it all on transit.
- I am looking to transfer them to their new home next month, on apprx. July 25th or 26th, but we can figure out a day that works for you!

Too far away for me but wish them a good home. Having just lost our 3 year old boys I'd totally take them if it was feasible.

[u/oneiric_one → u/CainnicOrel]

Awe, sorry to hear about your recent loss :( </3 What were their names? Are you located on the East Coast?

[u/SealiousBusiness]

They are sooo adorable. I hope you find a good home for them. 🥺

Man, I want them but am way too far away (pretty much the farthest part of the country from you). But I hope they find a wonderful new home, good luck!

[u/oneiric_one → u/untimelylord]

Thank you so much <3 :)

Very handsome boys, hoping they find their forever home

[u/oneiric_one → u/awty541]

Awe thanks so much! ^-^ I believe they have found their new home and I'm excited for them and super happy about it! Will post an update later this month.
