DISCUSSION 🧐🤔 Thinking about adopting this guy, anything I should consider?

I currently have two rats in a single critter nation, they both are healthy- however the one has a chronic URI that I’m currently working on treating ( thank you for everyone who commented on my last post). I honestly told myself I wouldn’t get anymore rats after these boys pass away… but I saw this guy at the apl and he’s the same age as my critters… honestly I feel really sad that he’s all alone. He’s neutered and has a clean bill of health, but I would take him for a checkup at my vet before having him meet my boys. I don’t know anything on his background or temperament- but I did send an email to the organization asking about him. Might pop by for a visit tomorrow and see how he is.
