Heartland Rat Refuge
St. Louis-based microsanctuary & rescue primarily
focused on helping rats formerly used in laboratories.
120+ rats rescued | 70+ rats rehomed | est. 2019â
![Lost 3 of the 5 senior lab rats in a span of 4 days, all for totally unrelated reasons, so it might be quiet over here for a bit. Rest easy, Sesame, Ollie, & Basil. â¤ď¸âđŠš
[I canât definitively tell if Sesame is the girl in this series of photos, but it likely is her because Poppyâs eyes are just slightly more wide-set & Nutmegâs are slightly buggier. Also, the boys were totally fine here, they had porphyrin build-up from nap & typical old man failure-to-groom]
