Rats, Rats, and more Rats!

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*

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

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.

Rats are wonderful pets, I love them sooo much.

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.
