Congratulations. They’re so cute
Parker was pouting at the cage door so he came out for a bit. Nikolai is smitten.

Ratties are amazing. Was Victoria's first critter when she was 5 or 6. I wanted a guinea pig for her, went to a small pet shop (keep in mind Tor is now 27).... the woman who owned the shop and I wear chasing around piggies to catch - they had a huge run and cage. I see out of the corner of my eye Tor pointing to a small cage on a shelf and the teen boy who worked there, pulled down the cage, took off the lid and next thing I saw were two champagne colored little feet and a pointy noise pop up over the edge... dang rat stood there on her mind legs waiting to be picked up. Kid showed Tor how to hold her and before I could get off the floor and yell- no way you are getting a bleeping rat, Lucy had backed into the crook of Tor's arm and started grooming, her face. At first I had trouble with the pointy face and that tail.... but Lucy won me over when in minutes..... she was an amazing girl... this was decades ago when not as much info known, Lucy lived in an aquarium. But most every night she piled everything on her cage at one end and somehow almost every time managed to push the screen lid up, even with weight on it. I would find her sleeping in bed with Tor.
Sorry babbling.... ratties take away all evil. They are so awesome we have had some incredible ratties over the years!
I look forward to pics and stories!!
That's a great pic! They look bigger than I thought they were from yesterday's photo. They sure won the lotto when they got you as a rat mom.
Agreed!That's a great pic! They look bigger than I thought they were from yesterday's photo. They sure won the lotto when they got you as a rat mom.
@Mizzely Will they get any bigger? Love your setup..for me the funnest thing about a new pet is the cage setup!
Are they neutered? I know they can't make babies since they're all male but curious if that's something rat owner do?
OMG! That is one of the many reasons I love ratties! So cute and sweet! Now, if only I could get my parents to see what great animals they are.
