INTRODUCING...(drum roll)....

My 8th rattie, a female, named Miss Suzie-Q "Suzie". I bought her today at the Animal House pet store for $4.99 :D :D She loves her new house, it is huge compared to her little 10 gallon tank, which at one point was housing 5 other ratties. She was the only rattie left. I have been eyeing her up for a couple of weeks, finally I got to bring her home to The Rattie Estate.

She will not stop running around, too much too explore, but I did get one good picture of her. I will keep on trying to get more, IF she stops moving! :) :D

Even this one is kind blury. :rolleyes: Stinker!

Here are some pictures my mom took. She also took some video footage of Suzie checking out her new house.

CONGRATS on your new baby!!! How in the world did you convince your mom to let you have her?? :D :) What a softie she is! :)

CUTE pics! Does she have her own cage or is she going to meet the other ratties?

Thanks, I bought her with my own money, and my mom really didn't say anything- just rolled her eyes a lot and swore never to come back to the pet store again. :p She loves Suzie...of course!

She has her own cage, a Super Pet cage. I am going to wait a couple of weeks to introduce her to the other ratties.

I'm not "rat-crazy" but Suzie is cute. :D Congratulations and get more pics soon! :)

Suzie is a Q-tee, but don't you need to rent her an appartment or something for her first month?:rolleyes: :p :D ;)

Looks like Icarus :eek: :eek:

Why thank you. Actually we have her in an underground bunker. I go in there with a chemical lab sute on, mask, gloves, the whole 9 yards. Yup, yup, yup!

Lovely new addition! I'm jealous!;)

With any new animal entering the house this quarantine period is so so important by doing this YLL is ensuring the health of her original rats.

If the new animal is not quarantined and comes down with something infectious you could loose the whole lot.

YLL, this little girl could not have fallen into better hands... I hope that you enjoy each other for many years :)

Suzie is such a cutie! Congrats on your new addition:)

Hahah! *lol*, Jen :D

Congratulations on your new rattie, YLL...she sure is a cutie. And I love her name....:o that's what my Dad used to call me when I was very little. :)

Ooh she's adorable! Congratulations on the new edition! :)

Thanks everybody!

Suzie is doing quite well, she had some strawberries, pears, and apples before. I diced them up for all the ratties, she ate a couple of strawberries, but that's it. She came out and sat on my shoulders for a while and ran around on the sofa. I was IMing a fellow PT member, and she decided to type a message herself consisting of a bunch of 6's and an x, lol. She is quite the love bug, and it EXTREMELY friendy for a pet store rattie. :D

That's Suzie's home, in fact, you can see Suzie in the picture :D it is HUGE for one little rattie! There are hardly any toys in there :( but that will soon change when I go to the pet store. :D Toys or no toys, she seems to like it a lot.

That reminds me of our hammie cage we picked out for Woody & my sister's hamster. It looks kinda like this:

(Except in our cage the ramps and levels are padded as so they don't hurt their feeties, and of course there's bedding in it.)

I like Suzie's cage. What a lucky rat to get that whole place to herself!

I had one rat in it.

WOW! Britt, that is hammy paradise! :eek: :eek:

floppsylady you have to remeber to fix your hamsters wheel so their legs dont get hurt when falling through the bars ok :).

just use card board and weeve it in and out through the runs on the hamster wheel. it'll be way more confy and safe for your hamster :)

this is my hamsters wheel for example..

Thanks Tikeya, I'll do that now. :)

Thanks YLL!

We're also getting another mini house, so both of them have one.

WELCOME cutie Suzie!!

Awww Suzie's a cute one...how does she get along with Conan ;)

I am too weary to introduce Conan to Suzie right now..I think I am going to wait a while. Conan did get to see her at the petstore, he didn't seem too happy.

Very cute!!@!!
Glad she is in the underground railroad until she is cleared!! :D

Congrats on your new edition! She is a cutie! It looks like she has a wonderful home! :)

Yes, it is very important, see....she has a lot of nasty things going on right now. She has a bad case of mites- she has scratched herself until she bled. She also had mites in her ears, secretaints (sp!!) coming out of her nose, and has a case of wet tail too. I am quite sure she has MYCO...so I have to be careful. I figured I'd bring her out of the bunker next month or sometime in June...it depends.

:p ;) :D

Oh yea, thanks Ruby Mutt!
