Lollypop Farm needs homes for over 1,000 pet rats and mice

Lollypop Farm needs homes for over 1,000 pet rats and mice.
The Humane Society of Greater Rochester has a population explosion.
Back in March, Lollypop Farm took in 700 pet mice and rats following a humane investigation.
And, as rodents will do, they multiplied.
There are now more than 1,000.
And they all need new homes.
Of course, not everyone is sold on the idea of a pet rat.

“They say, ‘Ew, rats are disgusting’ and stuff, but they’re really not,” said 10-year old Jenna Repich of Fairport.
Jenna is what Lollypop calls a “rat ambassador.” It’s her job to educate people about what great pets rats can be.
She knows because she has two rats of her own.
“They’re like little dogs,” she said.
“They’re very smart and intelligent.”

And unlike a dog, they’re pretty low maintenance.
Mike Demar, a small animal care attendant at Lollypop Farm, said they’re a good choice for families looking for a first pet for their children.
