Rats and why we love them!
So. I've had rats in the past and recently decided I missed having them around. My new babies have rekindled my love for ratties. I forgot how much I love these little critters. x3 They're so fun! I've already invested more money than I intended to in these boys and more to come. >_> I wanna upgrade their cage soon and am having one heck of a time finding a decent place to get one. =/ My search for a new cage aside, anyone else simply love rats and want to rave about them? 83
Those are my two current kids. Whiskers is the albino. Malfurion is the black and white. :) They've both gotten to the point where they're comfortable with me and are really starting to develop their own personalities. Whiskers, who is fairly blind, is actually becoming the more outgoing of the two! XD While is brother Maly is a more calm, chill, perfect sittin' on your shoulder rat. I adore them bothhhh.
They're both from the same litter yet Whiskers seems to be growing faster, he's already lost that baby soft fur. ;_; He's my first albino so it's been really great watching him settle in. So long as his brother is there he is happy as a clam!
Anyone else love these wittle bitty terrors? Share pictures!

Now that I'm more awake...<br /> <br /> <img src= http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y273/shadowwolf2028/101_1050.jpg><br /> Whiskers and Malfurion checking out their new cube. :3 The three babies seem very fond of it, though Arthas still prefers his hammock.<br /> <img src= http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y273/shadowwolf2028/IMG_0904.jpg><br /> <br /> And the rescue ratties are settling right in. Blaze is actually starting to come up to me and demand attention. xD <br /> <img src= http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y273/shadowwolf2028/IMG_0907-1.jpg><br /> <img src= http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y273/shadowwolf2028/IMG_0857-1.jpg><br /> <img src= http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y273/shadowwolf2028/IMG_0876.jpg>

x3 I'd say sorry but I'm not. Rats are only the best small, critter like pet there is! And here are pictures of your babes for you. :D<br /> <br /> <img src= http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y273/shadowwolf2028/101_1035.jpg><br /> Mr. Zsasz on the left, Harvey Dent on the right. <br /> <br /> <img src= http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y273/shadowwolf2028/101_1037.jpg><br /> ^ Arthas' butt made it into that picture.
Everyone can blame Shadow for this post - because she got me hooked on rats!<br /> <br /> Anywayyy. I did break and get two rats from Nui Ka today, and they are the sweetest little things :3<br /> I've got a little spotty dumbo, Harvey Dent, and a cutie hooded, rex dumbo, Mr. Zsasz. :3<br /> So far [this being the first day/evening with them], they're incredible shoulder/lap rats. :D<br /> Zsasz tends to actually stay still, but Harvey runs all around my shoulders and tickles the crap out of my neck =x<br /> But he means well~<br /> Pictures will come whenever Shadow uploads them and I thief them. :D

Aww thank you. Felix is my sweet cuddly boy. <br /> <br /> I use fleece as liners in my cages. Saves me soo much money on bedding. I do use carefresh in the litterboxes though. Pine and cedar are actually dangerous for the rat's respiratory system...so that's why they're wheezing. It's a good thing that you changed the bedding when you did :) If you do want to use wood bedding, you should go with aspen. That's safe for them :)<br /> <br /> I have absolutely no sewing skills, so I order all my hammocks. I get all of mine from Chelsey's Cozies. I've found that she does the best work :) I've never been disappointed. Although, kudos to you if you have better sewing skills and can make your own!

That first picture of Felix is so precious. <3 He looks like such a sweet heart. <br /> <br /> And your cage looks so fun and <em>amazing</em>. :o I'm gonna pick up some more hammocks and cubes for both cages next week. :3 Do you make your own hammocks? My cages look so bare right now. Dx <br /> <br /> What do you have along the bottom of your cages, Lennyk? Right now I have Carefresh in both cages. Baxter and Blaze's cage came filled with fresh pine bedding. x_x The lady also gave me a new bag of pine bedding which I might as well throw out. I'd never used it before, never liked it. I don't know how anyone can. That stuff STINKS. Cleaned that all out today and the boys seem to be settling in well in their new bedding. I did notice this morning that Baxter was wheezing, since I've changed the bedding I haven't heard it again. That strong, overpowering smell of fresh pine bedding can't be pleasant to the poor dears. Dx I hope he doesn't have respiratory issues but at two years old I'm sure he's lived in that pine junk all his life.
