About Dora

Dora came to Ratty Corner on the 26th of September 2010. She came with Hope and Bianca from a group of 29 does who were living in a Habitrail Ovo Loft hamster cage. They were each named after motorway service stations before they were homed, with Dora being named after Derby services. Dora is a tiny, tiny little 'fieldmouse' rat who is shy and very fast, but easy to pick up without a fuss.
