rattie games

[michelle cook]

hi! my jumbo rat,hydrox has found a new game to go with his new giant cage, i was latching his door the other day and decided to use a small rope to tie at bottom corner and as i was tieing it hydrox kept grabbing it and pulling it id let go hed let go id pick it up and begain tieing hed grab it and tug a war agian
never mind his own rope in the cage its not the same when you can play tug a war he also likes darring the cat liza as does she they will sit and dare the other one to stick a nose orpaw through and he,l grab the fur betwen her toes
she on the other hand will wait for him to stick his nose out or lay near edge andreach in and pata tat tat! this maks hydrox really po-d so he has too get his two cents in too
liza has learned to watch her tail in the cage as well

LOL, my rats are to young to be taken and help alot (they are only 4 months). I take them outside and open the cage and pet them. I also hold them alot but in my room so if they get away no cats will eat them. I love rats, and might be geting one from my neighbor down the street. My rats Names are Melony and Hope. They are Hooded rats. Melony has a grey hood and Hope has a balck hood. Then there bass color is white. I hope to hear more about your little sweetie!

I have never tried giveing my girls an ice-cub. I will have to try that sometime. They love there salads. They get them after I am done cleaning there cage so that they have a house warning gift. I am goign to be buying them a new 3 story wire cage soon, I know they will abosolutly LOVE it. Your rats sound adorable!

How great of you to rescue a rat! I am planning on rescueing a guinie pig someday, when Chewy (my puppy)gets older.

2 of my ratties love to go bunny chasin'. My albino male is named nikolia. he is a very very big boy. his favorite pastime is to chase and jump on and otherwise generally harass my poor nancy(rabbit). esme, my love of my life, is more into stealth and grace. she cleverly uses any structure within my room be it a fan or whatnot to sneak up upon nancy and pounce upon her with deadly accuracy lol. poor nanci is put out to find a place to hide that is free from my ratties.

[michelle cook]

your ratttie sounds so cute and sounds like bunnie has great patience ,today we go and pick up uor rescue rat java
she is a chocolate rat she is going to share a cage with my doughters hairless rat so they will have company a little nervous about intro them , as i had a horrible exp yrs back with mice and hamp but i am told they are different and pippie the hairless rat looks soo lonesome i think i will gradualy intro them

hi all , java is doing great she is the new adopted rescue rat
she is in the cage with pippie long stocking the hairless rat
pippie hunched up her rear end like a cat and kept pushing poor java at first as she is alot smaller but thinks she is big i guess they were cought off guard and mrs beasly the old cat fell asleep at the corner of the bed and pippie and java were chasing her tail and grooming it when mrs beasly awoke
scared of rats and they all paniced and ran and hid in there pillow case and corner of the room: hydrox came out to visit
and he was in heaven java loves him although it was breif as it did not take long for him to want to share his loving
he trys to run to the girls room when he gets out for the evening he will be getting his neuter apt very soon
untill then he only gets a breif visit with me by them
pippie has gotten over her fasination with javas hair
finally we were begining to wonder as she just would not stop
grooming her constantly

[Aspen and Misty]

LOL..well she has no hair herself so she needs to groom someone's hair! Sounds like everything went great and everyone is getting along! I owuld love to see pictures of your little ratties!

SUJEI: I live right outside Rochester, in Fairport. My 2 rats love to play the same game (chasing & pouncing) but on my dogs. Do you breed rats? What breeds do you have now? I have a siamese straight haired dumbo rex and a self black curly rex dumbo! I am looking for a good hairless female.
