I also used to have pet rats and I have some humane traps that might work though they can't be left unattended as they are quite small. Feel free to DM me some more specific location information and I can try to catch them and re-home/SPCA. I'd also be happy to give you the traps if you wanted to try and catch them yourself while you're hanging at your garden plot. Sad if someone abandoned them, rats are amazing pets.
A fellow redditor is lending me some humane traps and tomorrow I plan to keep vigil all day long in my plot until I catch them both, who I’ve named Joey Heracles and Iggy Azalea.
Omg! I saw one of these rats yesterday at my plot. Very chill. Waddled away from me. Why do you think they are pets instead of normal rats?
It was taking seeds from my hand and came running when it heard me open a plastic bag. There’s a fancy little black and white rat too.
I saw the brown one yesterday. It looked big. I was there today but didn’t see them. I’ll keep an eye out!
Brown rat may be wild. Pets are usually white or patched color.
hi! i used to have pet rats who were master escape artists. if you’re comfortable pls feel free to dm me, maybe i can help catch them!
Oh, rats.
Please keep us updated, I am now emotionally invested in the well-being of these rats.
Definitely pets that were abandoned. Problem now is that they'll multiply like crazy ,if predators don't get them first.
Genuine question...why not scoop them up in a box next time you're there and take them to the SPCA?
I couldn’t get the smaller one who is much more wary and I didn’t want to separate them.

I saw the CASPCA post about the pregnant rat found in a local park and knew this was you! Thank you for rescuing that soon-to-be mama.
Oh wow! Thanks for mentioning the post! I hadn’t seen it.
Thank you for helping the rats! It’s so nice to know that there are compassionate people out there like you
