I noticed that all my recent rat posts have been either complaints about rodent damage or rat health related, and that it has been quite some time since I posted photos of my rats just being furry and cute.


Here I bribed them with cooked rice to hold still for a moment:


Ignatz loosing to Emil in one of their scuffles:


Emil and Ignatz again, with Emil very curious about the camera:


Here you can see Krümel a few days ago, when his left eye was still sewn shut to heal:


And a bunch of random pictures:




Emil wasn't very pleased with the camera's flash:

thank you for the early present, they are indeed cute in their own rattly way.

I once cared for some rats over the holiday AND they survived my care.

I fear though I am a die hard cat person I hope you will not hate me for this.

It's good to know they survived. I take it you didn't keep them with the cat? Though actually the breeder I got Krümel from also had a cat (dogs too) and the little rats grew up with it without problem. It was a very laid back cat: it actually let tiny curious baby rats crawl all over it, and was okay with that.

But I like cats too. All my relatives have cats. They are just more expensive to feed, also I'm vegetarian and a bit grossed out by feeding cats meat, so rats suit me better.

Hehhehe, I guess I'm feeling bad for squicking about what you love. My son wants a pet. We have a cat and are barely responsible enough to keep her in my opinion.

*DFG does a eyes right to the ghosts of all the critters that HER cats have probably EATEN over the years.*

No comments from the peanut gallery, or I'll sic the ghosts of all my cats on you.
