#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 🐀🙂

CW: Selfie with pet rats (contact adjacent eyes)
Look at these cute little folk 🐀🙂
I look a little bit tired.. But that's because I was, the pic is from late night yesterday 😉

I made two of those hammocks that seem to be so popular everywhere 🙂
They were such a quick make I almost didn't have time to take any pictures of the process. They'll get put in when we clean the cage next time, probably later today or tomorrow 🐀

It's such a treat getting to know these two little creatures. They have such different personalities. 🙂🐀

Here are a couple of pics from the first few days of having #pet #rats in a very long time.
Last time I had pets was more than a decade and a half ago but it's nice having little friends again.
(sidenote: it's strange using the "friend"-concept for someone you claim ownership over.. feels iffy, but also this is apparently normal 🤷♀️)

We got a cage for the rats. They'll be here in about a week.
This cage is so big! I mean it's great that it is but wow(!) is this big..

CW: Pet Death
Cinnamon died today, the last of my rats. She was 2.5 years old, quite old for a rat. She was active and healthy until about two days ago, then suddenly deteriorated, and slipped away this afternoon. She was a serious, self contained old lady who occasionally enjoyed a quiet cuddle and would snuggle into my hand.
I don't think I'll get any more rats. The most practical reason is because we no longer have a vet nearby who can treat rats. But rats are heartbreaking to keep, they are such big personalities, so funny and loving and gentle, each one unique, and their little lives are so short.

Busy destroying a police station? Good girl! 💖

Helping Cinnamon to make her bed.

Cinnamon helping with the washing up.

Cinnamon eating a snack.
Moments before this picture was taken, she was stuck in the "it's so good I have to eat it now, but it's also so good I have to hide it for later" loop.
Then she just decided to eat it.

Cinnamon having a bit of my porridge. It's her special morning treat, and she demands it, the little tyrant.
You can just see that her arm has been shaved because she had a mammary tumour removed last week.
She's recovering really well from the surgery, she's actually a lot more energetic now. I think the tumour had been bothering her more than I realised.

I have a writing-assistant today.

The girls have moved back into their now-upgraded, old-rat-friendly cage with new ramps and levels so they can move about safely. Old-lady rats love being at the top of the cage, but they don't always have the needed oomph to climb all the way up without a bit of help.
-
Dash is feeling cuddly today.
She's starting to get old all of a sudden. I'm not sure how old she is (she's a rescue) but probably almost 2. -
My rats are in a temporary cage while their home is being de-rusted and fitted with ramps and pipes to help my old girls climb safely all the way to the top of the cage.
I've tried many different methods of creating ramps and levels but this is the best by far - cutting gutter downpipes in half to make levels that they can't easily fall off of, and closed pipes for the ramps between the levels. Easy to clean, not tempting to chew on.
I'll be installing hammocks and cloth safety levels as well, and plenty of cardboard boxes for them to tear up. It's still a bit stinky from being de-rusted and painted, so I'm going to wait another day or so before they move into their new-old home.
I hope they like it!

There maybe trouble ahead...💖
