Adoption Policy

​Please read the our Adoption Policy CAREFULLY.  If you do not agree to abide by it, your application will be rejected.  Completion of an application does not guarantee your approval.

Pricing

​We put a lot of work into our rats and husbandry to make sure you take home/receive healthy rats. Our pricing reflects the extra steps, and high quality care our rats receive.

Shipping & Transport​​

EVO Transport, 3rd Party Transport, and Shipping via air cargo (when available).

Quarantine

Viruses and zoonotic diseases are always a concern in the rat community.  For this reason we recommend all new rats, even if you are a repeat adopter, be quarantined for a minimum of 21 days in a separate room in your house.  If you forgo quarantine our health guarantee will be VOID.

Application Forms

Anyone looking to adopt from EVO must complete an application form. Your answers to the questions will help us find you the perfect fit for your needs, whether you are looking for pets or breeding stock.

Pickup

Since we are a Closed Rattery, pickups are conducted with minimal contact.  Rats will be brought out to you.  Please bring your own chew-proof carrier to transfer the rats into.
