Why do you want to adopt
I abosutely adore rats, and am dying for a pair of my own. Unfortunately, my mum is...less than keen, and so I'm hoping to make her the virtual representation on the rat I never had. I love her design, and believe she is hooded- which is my favourite variety of rat colouration. Still, my rat colour identification fails, so I might be wrong XP

Rat Name
I'd call her Aiomi. It's a little...random, but the first rat I ever touched (he was a rescue) suited that name perfectly...until the petshop staff told me that he was infact male. I was unable to get him, but he was rehomed the following month. Still, I do think that name suites a hooded rat (with the right personality) quite well, and I like it.

Personality
Aiomi is a pretty sociable little ratlet, with a highly intelligent mind and good memory of faces. She can figure out any brain teasing toy you might think to give her, mostly without that much effort. The pup enjoys climbing up the sides of her cage, and any stimulating game that you might wish to play with her. Aiomi never stops running, but that's simply because she loves to scurry over your body and along the sofa. However, she has been known to submit to more than a second of petting, though these occasions are few and far between.
Aiomi hates foreign hands venturing into her cage- it takes quite a while to build up her trust, and she doesn't take kindly to strangers handling her due to this. Before removing her from her cage, be sure to wash your hands- if you own a cat or a dog their scents can send her into hysterics. If left unhandled, she would soon revert to pretty much wild, and so it is vital to mantain a strong bond with her.
She's not really a fan of bucks- and prefers the company of the female of the species. There isn't really a reason for this, it's just her personality. Aiomi is also a very picky eater- feed her rat musli and she'll only take the bits she likes, which can lead to her being malnourished. Therefore, it is essential to feed this ratlet rat blocks.

Quirks
Aiomi adores Cherrio hoops. She's do anything and go anywhere for them. However, the majority she stashes in her bedding like a hamster, instead of devouring them as one might expect.

What do you plan on doing with your rat
I plan on roleplaying with her, attempting to make art of her (even if it's just colour ins) and using her as a (main) character in my stories.

If you feel you can no longer care for your Rat, will you return it here to find a new home
Currently, I am completely confident there would be no need to return Aiomi to you. However, if for some reason I was unable to give her the amount of love than she needs then yes- I would give her back to you.
