- Introducing Hex and Hue!!
Well, I couldn’t wait any longer. I got my 2 new boys today! They’re settled into they’re temp cage at the office for quarantine. I got them from a pet shop near work that gets them from the same breeder I got Pixel and Pica from, so I know they’re going to be healthy and [...]

- Pixel and Pica are getting 2 new rat brothers!
Well, I can’t say anything too definite yet. I don’t have any solid plans set up so far. But I know 2 new boys will be coming home soon. I checked the cage calculator and it says my cage is big enough for 4 rats, but I don’t really want it to be that [...]

- Playing in the Water Fountain
Yesterday one of my coworkers gave me a little water fountain for the ratties to play with. They’ve never really been around water, so I thought it’d be funny to see how they react.
The lil guys say “Thanks Autumn!!”
One of these days I’ll try pea fishing…

- A Short Update
Actually, I don’t have much of an update, which is why I haven’t posted much lately. The ratties are doing great. We haven’t had a lot of excitement recently.
Don’t forget that World Rat Day is coming up on April 4th!
And here’s a cute picture from a week or two ago:

- A Silly Rattie Picture and 3 More Cute Ones
I can’t believe my camera caught this shot. I was trying to take a picture of Pixel’s belly while I had him flipped on his back on my leg. As I was taking the picture he slipped out of my hand and rolled off my leg on to the blanket. Crazy rattie.
These are just [...]

- Two cute rattie pictures
Here are two pictures from play time a few days ago.
Pixel is so photogenic
Pica loves to show Pixel how much stronger he is by pushing him on to his back about a dozen times an hour. Pixel doesn’t seem to mind much. I think this picture would make a good lolrats with [...]

- Rats Have Amazing Balance
Here’s Pixel showing off his awesome balancing skills. It’s hard to believe this was my clumsy tilty boy not long ago. He still has a slight tilt, but it isn’t affecting his balance and movement as much any more.

- Yesterday’s News to Papurr
I decided to switch litters again… I know, I really need to make up my mind! I’m trying Papurr now. It looks like a normal clay cat litter, but it’s made out of paper instead of clay. It doesn’t seem dusty at all and it has a nice fresh scent to it - like [...]
