Rats, Rats, and more Rats!

[lute]

My friend got two rats the other day. A hairless male and a grey and white female. She sent the male off to get neutered yesterday. She brought the female to work with her. It made me want ratties something fierce! I'm not for sure, but I have a spot for them in the bedroom and depending on how Christmas goes I might wanna add a couple to my clan of critters.

I just got 2 little rattie girls and a hairless gal will be going my group soon (hopefully this sunday!!!). I forgot how much I enjoy having them. I abosolutly love rats and would encourage you to get some! LOL. I think they are wonderful pets.

They really are awesome animals! Surprisingly friendly too. I say go for it! But beware they can be expensive :P

I will forever recommend rats as great pets. They're just so intelligent and fun, and almost human-like, IMO! I swear they can read your emotions as soon as you walk through the door. If you do add some to your clan, you will never regret it. :)

They just have the loveable rattitude that is hard to not be around. I have my girls sleeping on my shoulder right now. *feels loved*

[lute]

AH! You guys are really making me want them now! I always knew they were good pets. Always wanted a couple, but never got the chance.

If only I could find this particular picture of my Ophie when she was a baby... it always gives people that extra nudge to add a pair to the family,! Hehe :D

They're addicting. They are much more interactive than other rodents. They might be a bit expensive, my girls might need to see a vet about their teeth as they aren't wearing down as good as I'd like them to.

2 of the girls I rescued from being feeders were pregnant. One of them wouldn't care for her babies at all, so we put them in with the mom that had hers first. She nursed all 17 babies like a pro. All of the older babies have gone to new homes, but we still have the younger ones.. It is veryyy hard to even think about parting with them.

Here are some pics of the little peanuts.

This little one looks like my Hailey. I just love Dumbos! Hailey is so goofy, loving and sweet. I have never had a rat like her before. If she hears me come in the room she is up and wanting to come out.

Mocha is beautiful. I've never seen a pattern like that.

I've never seen a rat like Mocha before. She is very pretty! I love the dumbos. One of the rats my friend got was a dumbo. Those pics are so cute!
