  1. I suppose I should write an #introduction and pin it. Here goes:

    I’m David, I’m 41, and I like #rats

    I’m also an #it and #photography graduate. I live in the UK, but don’t like it here very much.

    I’m a keen gamer, environmentalist, open source advocate and firmly believe in rights for disabled people. I’m autistic, gay, and believe all people should try to get along.

    Former archery enthusiast, former editor of my school newspaper and small local town newspaper. Can’t play an instrument.

  2. Fermi: "I know Quercy has been sneezing, but that's no reason to drag him to Evil Vet Lady. I defy your tyranny on his behalf!" #petRats #rats

    Defiance didn't help. Evil Vet Lady had her wicked way with Quercy and declared him rife with Allergies.

  3. nothing like some extreme pancaking after a brief period of morning wakefulness

  4. From an article about addiction books (fivebooks.com/best-books/the-b) in fivebooks.com:

    “But before Bruce [Alexander]’s studies, there was a long behaviourist tradition of putting rats in cages, and then you could very easily addict a rat to morphine by letting them press a lever. They would use it compulsively, in the sense that it crowded out other rewards, even food. But Bruce said, ‘That’s a little artificial. Rats don’t live in cages. Rats live out in the wild. So what if I built an enormous cage that had lots of toys, opportunities to socialize, opportunities to mate?’ He even painted little pine trees on the walls and put nice wood chips on the ground. And he found that it was impossible to addict rats to opioids under the traditional behavioural paradigm when there are alternative reinforcers available.”

    This explains a lot about the world we live in. 🐀

  8. Baby Toasted Nose Crew with Rico 🌈. We think he's a big part of why they grew up so chill.

  9. You deserve someone who defends you the way Truffle protects his sleeping brother. #petRats #rats

  10. #Rats are experiencing their first #thunderstorm.

    They don't seem to bothered. Råttny went to sleep and Celeste is just chilling. He's usually really hard to take pics of because they're always fuzzy. But he stood slightly still for a little bit just now 🐀🙂

  11. Otto and bros are getting on in age, and their legs aren't working as good as they used to. They live in a big open playpen now, giving them way more horizontal space to stretch those legs out.

  12. "Give us the thing that we want" (they want to go home from playtime, and due compensation for any indignities and/or loss of agency they may have endured)

  13. The person who adopted Peanut and Raisin reports that they reached Johannesburg safely, and are settling in well, having been introduced to the rat-in-residence.

    That's Raisin on the left, and Peanut on top of their new sister.

    I miss them! I keep catching myself starting to prepare supper for them, or wanting to take them out for a cuddle.

    And apparently someone is interested in adopting Twyla and Zen too...

  17. We have soft hammocks and airy shelves and huts stuffed with soft bedding, so where do we nap?

    In the corner of the cage. We dragged over a couple bits of paper towel for padding. :flan_facepalm: #petRats #rats

  18. Two rat brothers accidently meet in a space themed Café. A prolonged moment of awkward silence stretched between them.

  20. From the Rat Foster WhatsApp group... the babies I saw on Monday have started to climb! Imagine being responsible for nine of these determined little gremlins.
