Barney is a Pink Eyed White.

Barney came to me with Mandylor and Hoffman

All three rats came from the house of a back yard breeder who claimed a female had escaped into the boy's cage and left her with a huge number of rats. Hoffman had been living in a Freddy cage along with 32 other rats. A freddy is suitable for a pair of rats, so that gives you some idea of the extreme overcrowding he was living in.
All the rats had wounds of some kind from fighting due to the conditions, and food was simply thrown in with them each day. In total, 64 rats were removed from those premises, and I only had space to take 3. The others were distrubuted amongst rat rescues up and down the country.

Like Mandylor, Barney was young enough to have not been too severely affected by his former living conditions. He was a pretty normal, bouncy, lively little kitten, and not much has changed now he's growing! He's still a vibrant, playful and quite mischevious rat. He is the only one who has learned to escape the play area and go back to his cage on his own, or wander around the shelves.

He can be a little pushy with some of the older boys, and shows potential to be a high ranking rat, but he is rational and generally non-aggressive so would make a good alpha rat one day.
As a youngster, he suffered a bite to the nose from Henry for being too cheeky, and he still has the scar from it.

Why Barney? My mum named Barney as he looked like a little barn owl when we first got him.
