Teeny Snoots Rat Rescue

10/09/2026

🐁 Welcome to Teeny Snoots, Stewie 💕 This little girl was born and raised in a mechanic shop and was days away from being released. Luckily (I never thought I'd say this), my car was acting funny and I just happened to take it to the shop she was at to have it looked at. Stewie has been with people, fed and housed, since she could walk. Last December, when she was a teeny puff ball, she approached the staff at the mechanic to ask for help. She was weak, cold and struggling. They scooped her up, put her in a tank with a bed and her own little ATV, sat with her to keep her company and fed her peanuts and yogurt granola bars for almost a year. When I saw her yesterday, she was days away from being released into the wild. Little Stewie wouldn't have made it a week in the wild, especially with the cold nights we've been having. She's never found food on her own. She went from nursing and learning from mom to asking people for help. So, she is now part of the Teeny Snoots family. She is currently settling into her new enclosure with tons of bedding to tunnel into, orchard grass and tissue to nest in, and proper mouse food. When she's settled in, she will be moved into her extra large enclosure where she can live out her days. She already seems to love the comfort of grass and bedding! We would love to introduce her to mouse friends but, unfortunately, she can't be placed with fancy mice, so we are eagerly searching for ASFs in southern Ontario needing a home! If you know of ASFs needing a home, loop us in!

Welcome, teeny Stewie 🩷

📣 THE BOYS URGENTLY NEED A HOME 📣

📢 UPDATE: The owner is not actually charging for the rats, she is charging for the cage. Clearly the cage is most important. She says they need to be gone ASAP.

**5 BOYS IN NEED OF A HOME TOGETHER 📢 Kitchener, Ontario. The owner has declined our offer of assistance, has told us never to speak to them again and has told us the rats are low priority. As you know, free animals never end well.

💕 Root update 🩺 We are very relieved to hear that we can work through some options before having to consider eye removal surgery. Especially since we have two PT ratties and a cardiac ratty in care right now.

Enucleation surgery is incredibly complicated and dangerous, and we've lost two rats to this type of specialty surgery. We don't know what happened to Root's eye but there's an ulceration in the centre of her eye. With how big her eyes were, even with the anti-inflammatory eye drops, it's very possible something poked her eye and it burst (possibly her own nail during a normal scratch) or the size of the eye caused it to rupture. Not nice either way. The good news is she's responding well to her pain medicine and the eye doesn't seem to be bothering her overall. She will be on specialty drops for the next 10 days and anti-inflammatory drops forever. Please send your positive vibes to her, Nora and Tugboat!

Little Root is really struggling with her eye and is back to her doctor today. Root's eyes were expanding for an unknown reason and had low eye pressure (lower than she should). She was placed on anti-inflammatory eye drops to try to reduce the inflammation. Unfortunately, her right eye didn't respond much to the drops and ulcerated. She's now on two types of eye drops and pain medication. She's doing very well and is a happy ratty but I can only imagine the discomfort. She's back to her doctor today and I am so badly hoping she won't need an enucleation surgery.

With the cost of everything increasing, Teeny Snoots is struggling. We desperately need financial help. Our food, bedding, litter and enrichment expenses are becoming too much. Vet care is even more. We need donations of our frequent consumables (Boxo, paper pellet litter, Mazuri rat food, fresh fruits and veggies) and help with medical expenses. If you are in a position to help the ratties at Teeny Snoots, please consider donating.

💞 ADOPT ME! 🩵 Two sweet, naked boys, Tofu and Dill!

Hi, I’m Dill. My friend, Tofu, and I are looking for our forever home together as a bonded pair. My foster mom doesn’t know how old I am - but presumably under 1 year. My buddy, Tofu, is still a little guy though. He was born on August 17 and had to be separated from his mom and sister at 5 weeks old. But that’s ok, because he’s my partner in crime now, and we love to cuddle when he’s not zooming around like a little race car.

My buddy, Tofu is curious, friendly and open to human interaction, but I myself am a bit more shy and reserved. Nonetheless, I am a very respectful gentleman, especially when I ever so politely take treats from human hands. I will require more time, patience and socialization to learn to trust humans though, since my foster mom only got me when I was a few months older and hadn’t been handled much.

Tofu and I love snacks and warm blankies / hammocks (we’re naked so we do get cold without them). Our favourite snacks are baby puffs (any flavour) and seasonal fruits and veggies. We also really enjoy the occasional egg or yogurt snack, and sometimes our foster mom makes us rat-friendly cake so that’s pretty yummy too!

If you have a cat-free household and would like to adopt my “brother”, Tofu and I, message Teeny Snoots!

She doesn't have a teeny snoot but she's still worth love and care 💕 🦋 Her wings are tattered and she's missing two legs, so migration isn't an option for her. Unfortunately, we don't have a butterfly tent so a tank will have to do for the night. She has her asters and goldenrod, grasses, leaf litter and sticks to feel at home, and a little bowl of sugar water for energy. She dug right in to the water and flowers and is having a butterfly rest 🌸

⛰️ Thanks to an amazing friend for watching and medicating my huffy hedgie, my frail Nora and my wiggly, busy Root, I was able to get out on a mini vacation for the first time since Teeny Snoots opened! I've always wanted to drive up to Tobermory, only a four hour drive from home and full of amazing, FREE hikes, and this weekend I was granted the opportunity! It's absolutely gorgeous, full of incredible trails, campgrounds, little shops and wonderful people. If you're in Ontario and looking for an awesome, inexpensive hiking/camping trip, Bruce Peninsula is the way to go. Turquoise waters, huge caves, birch cedar forests, sand beaches, all of the good stuff 🌲

I am so lucky to have such an amazing ratty and friend community 🥰
