Today I gave Neil a boiled egg as a treat. He gets one every so often (an egg not a treat, he gets lots of treats) and ehre are some pics of him with his egg. Eventually he got hold of it and took it into his house, where he still is eating away.

on here actually own a rat ??

As some of you know I've been trying to get a pair of ratty boys from a local rescue for about a week now. Well, I brought them home today! :bundance: I am so happy to have them. They are just the sweetest little things, and absolutely adorable. Never tried to get away from me once while we were...

What color possibilities would I have in mating a black hooded female with a full cream-colored male?

Before we get to the problem though, some pics! They're growing quite rapidly: Okay, now the problem. It turns out the black hooded rat is female =[. I don't have anything against females, but if I don't take her out within 2-3 weeks, I could have more rats on my hands than I'd know what...

Hey all. I just got on this a day or two ago, and I love it! I have learned so much already! =) so.... My name is Nikki, I live in Anchorage Alaska, which sucks because of all the pet laws =( But I have 2 chinchillas, Marlo and Kassy. Marlo is a black velvet, and Kassy is a ****-beige(?) I got...

These guys are so incredibly tiny, especially the black hooded rat. Take a look at these pics: Both ended up falling asleep in my hand earlier, and the black hooded rat furiously climbs up my fingers and into my hand for warmth and treats. They seem to enjoy wrestling with my hand as well...

Only 11 days till Halloween...what is everybody going to be? Or are we too old?? My birthday is on Halloween, so I get into it alot. I am being Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.

So I got to keep my rescue ratty Nuka after 2 weeks of fostering her and so I got her a friend! Nova is a gorgeous hooded girl of now 11 weeks old and they get along perfectly! I guess you could say they're a great match. They spend ages in the hammock on/under/over/beside each other and having...

My son's rats died recently- and it was pretty hard on him. And his dad didn't make it much better by taking him to petsmart the same day that Harley died and trying to get him to pick out new ones. Upset him even more. It was kindly meant, but very bad timing. BUT this week, Isaac decides he...

Hey all! I'd like to introduce my boys to you. Here is Chad, who was a rescue. He's about 3-4 months old. I believe he is Russian silver, but he could just be blue. ;) This is Extra, who is also a rescue. He is missing the last inch or two from his tail. We believe his mother/father bit it...
