GRPP (i.e. gratuitous rat picture post)

[ratcreature]

I took a bunch of photos, and on some the little ones were even visible as more than a gray blur or a giant nose pressed against the lens (they find the camera very interesting) and you can see their different kinds of gray a bit better too.
















Unrelated to rats, can anyone point me to a picture of what exactly a Victoria's Secret catalog looks like? Or describe it to me? I'm trying to do some Dresden Files fanart, a picture of Bob's skull on his shelf, and I have no idea what this underwear catalog looks like, i.e. its format, how thick it is, the logo used etc. When I try google image search the results are predictably of underwear models and such, not photos showing me the catalog. :/

Yeah. Most likely they are going to be larger than Krümel, once they're grown. Because that breeder's male rats are all 600-700g while Krümel is a bit under 500g now and not likely to grow much more. Currently they are 150g, and that is almost twice of what Krümel's weight at that age was. But they are very friendly. Krümel is a bit skittish, especially with people he doesn't know. I'm not sure why. And worse with the vet. I had to bring him recently because he started sneezing, and he fought and squeaked, and kicked, and once in a later visit he even snapped at the vet's assistant. In the end they even handled him with leather gloves and a towel once... It was extenuating circumstances though, I mean immediately afterwards he already to run to me and hide in my sweater and let me pet and console him, so he is far more cuddly when you don't try to inject something into him.

Well, it's nice they're so socialized. What's going to be their adult length, then?

[ratcreature]

They probably won't be that much longer than Krümel, at most 25cm stretched out but without the tail, maybe a bit shorter. They have the right size to comfortably lie on your lower arm. :)
