Sugar (a.k.a Ratzilla) at 9 months
Squeekers and Ratzilla
Me and my Rack
Mr. P. bought me a present today from the hunting store. I think perhaps he's thinking that everyone must be looking at my cleavage. I'm wondering what comes next after the "Quit Staring At My Rack" warning printed on my shirt. A burqa perhaps;-)
Rats are so cute when they are babies. They suck you into wanting one. Six months later you have a rat half the size of your arm trying to steal food out of your mouth and eating everything in site. 3 of 4 was eating an ice cream cone with Ratzilla sitting in her lap. Ratzilla attempted to grab the cone and make off with it. When 3 of 4 stopped her by pulling the cone out of her reach she tried to take a piece out of her mouth instead. Greedy little buggers (the rats not the kids.)
1 of 4 accidentally left a body pillow within reach of their cage and they made a nest with much of the fabric and a good portion of the stuffing. It was quite funny to see their cage absolutely stuffed to the brim with white fluff. They had obviously had a very busy night!
Our oldest lady (Peanut) seems to have a tumor growing on her neck and isn't doing very well. She's 2 and a half which is old for a rat.

Love the photos of the rats. I think it would be cool to have them as pets, just not intruder rats.
I like your T-shirt..NIce Mr. P.
I should have known you would have red hair, cause I think I've seen pics of the kids..At least the one that likes frogs, ha.
Love that update below! YOu do so incredible with CP's...
Ratzilla is sure packing some weight there. Too funny about them building a nest from the pillow. I'll bet they loved every minute of it. I read recently that domestic mice/rats have a much longer life span that the feral ones which are lucky if they live to 9 months old.
I have to say that Rats are also My Rodent Of Choice. The first time I met a pet rat I was struck how clean & unsmelly it was compared with,say, hampsters.Hampsters smell & twitch a lot.............They seem really insecure...........
lol at the shirt, wish i had something like that sometimes
rats are so cute :) just a shame they don't live very long :/
Rats are the best classroom pet, too.
How dare you have red hair.
I always hated red hair. So I say mine is strawberry blond. That makes me happier.
