Krümel continues to be very cute though he's grown a lot in the last two weeks. And I think he's getting more grey spots (there are patches in his fur that have now a slight grey tinge, so I think they'll be fully grey once he's grown), which suits him. He's also still very exhausting when he's outside, running around like the crazy rodent he is, and he tries to drag me into things. Literally. He actually grabs one of my fingers and tries to drag my hand into some direction. Which is hilarious since he's still much smaller than my hand.

He also likes to climb into my clothing, and that's kind of cute in theory however I am ticklish. I don't begrudge him the entertainment or body contact, but today he climbed into my top and pinched one of my nipples with his teeth, which wasn't as bad as a bite, but still, ouch! As if his tiny claws in all sorts of places weren't bad enough.

As a contrast it's really nice that Ben is content to just get his cuddles by lying draped on me or next to me. There's something to be said for sedate, older rats.

Krümel's still hard to photograph, i.e. more often than not I only get a hyper blur or part of a tail in the picture, but I do have some photos of him.

Reue, he's still at an age where he looks adorable no matter what he does.
