  1. Fermi, performing finger inspection.

    Once again, I barely passed. #petRats #rats

  2. Quercy is here to inform me that the cage has passed the line from "acceptably ratty" to "immediate need of cleaning."

    Sure thing, buddy. I live to serve. #petRats #rats

    All three seem to be settling OK. The bigger two are direct nephews of Fizz. They are all related to an extent.

    The older two have the sniffles. It's common when they move to a new house, but I took them to the vet on Monday about it to be sure. They're on anti-inflammatories right now. So for the moment they're not being introduced to Fizz and Truffle.

    I recently had 12 months where I lost 7 old rats, so I'm just enjoying the youthful energy for now 🙂

    This is Cheddar. He shares a dad with the other two, but was born to a different mother about a week later. He is a russian blue agouti smooth - having only known the standard agoutis, his colouring was a revelation to me! He's noticeably smaller than the others, but brave with it - he stands up for himself in wrestles! He has been the bravest with me, the first and furthest to explore in general. We've bonded the most so far 😍

    This is Baron, a smooth beige. He is brother to Stilton. He's the second most confident and the heaviest of the three (not much bigger than Stilton though). He is getting braver with being on me. I think he may be the head rat, it's hard to tell and I think fairly fluid anyway.

    I got three new rat children almost two weeks ago now! I'm still getting to know them, as they are not comfortable enough for their personalities to show yet.

    This is Stilton. He is a russian blue rex. Of the three, he is the most nervous of me and things in general. I have been breaking through slowly. He likes digging and "swims" through loose bedding like a tiny rat shark.

  12. CW: pics of pet rats discovering ping pong balls

    "What is this new material?"
    "Smells like there's food under there!"
    "Don't care, I'm not going in there.."

  20. We're replacing some shelves, and putting in some new ones today. I'm confident the #rats will like them, but so far they're unsuspecting that anything is even about to happen.

    I got cheap trays from ikea, designed and printed simple brackets, measured the wire spacing and now I hope it'll fit when we get to it later today 🐀🙂

  22. Quercy is normally very definite about not wanting pets. I think the booms worry him. #petRats #rats

    (fan and AC noise is much louder in the video than in real life, no idea why?)

  26. Fermi ran up and stretched out for pets. Of course I obliged. I'm not a monster. Well, not *that* kind of monster.

    His brothers had to investigate, but finally decided it was fine and they could proceed with their escapades. #petRats #rats
