Pippin

Male · Young · 1 year

Location: Lummen Can move after 2 weeks of observation, from 20/11/26. Background Pippin was given up after his brother passed away. His owner wanted to stop keeping rats, making this the best option. Pippin and his brother were castrated preventively, before puberty. There were never any problems with his hormones. He started to grunt shortly after entering the shelter. He is now receiving preventative bisolvon and will visit the vet if necessary. Description Although Pippin has only been in the shelter for a day, it is clear that he is a gentle soul. He lets himself be picked up carefully and stays with you. In the cage, he likes to lie in a nest so he can admire the world from a comfy spot. Pippin is currently introducing himself to two female foster children. He is submissive and always lies very carefully with the girls.

Verblijfplaats: Lummen Mag verhuizen na 2 weken observatie, vanaf 20/11/26. Achtergrond Pippin werd afgestaan nadat zijn broertje overleed. Zijn baasje wilde graag stoppen met het houden van ratjes, waardoor dit de beste optie was. Pippin en zijn broertje werden preventief, voor de puberteit, gecastreerd. Er waren nooit problemen met zijn hormonen. Hij begon kort na de binnenkomst in de opvang te reutelen. Hij krijgt nu preventief bisolvon en zal, indien nodig, een bezoekje aan de dierenarts brengen. Beschrijving Hoewel Pippin nog maar een dag in de opvang is, is het wel duidelijk dat hij een zachtaardig kereltje is. Hij laat zich voorzichtig opnemen en blijft dan ook bij je zitten. In de kooi ligt hij graag in een holletje zodat hij vanuit een comfy plekje de wereld kan bewonderen. Pippin is momenteel bezig met een introductie met twee vrouwelijke metekindjes. Hij is onderdanig en gaat telkens zeer voorzichtig bij de meisjes liggen.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pippin, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pippin?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Rattenopvang Ratopia vzw handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Pippin on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pippin if I live in another country?: Sometimes. Whether a animal can move between countries depends on the species and the rules in both countries, and some species need permits or have restrictions. Ask Rattenopvang Ratopia vzw what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Pippin already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: What a animal comes with (vet checks, vaccinations, identification, paperwork) varies by shelter and species. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask Rattenopvang Ratopia vzw directly what is included and what Pippin still needs.
What happens if Pippin isn't the right fit?: Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Rattenopvang Ratopia vzw early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pippin and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?: TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (NL). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
