It was Christmas for the rats too…

and all the other pets as well, but as this is the rat blog I thought i’d share some photos of the rats enjoying their Christmas presents. I bought them some treats from the pet shop (rat muffins, rat doughnuts, dairy drops, cheese crunchy things) and Mum sent yoghurt drops and fruit drop things with the Tesco delivery and I made them stockings. Steve thinks there’s something wrong with me coz I made rat stockings!!

They very rarely get shop-bought treats so they were well spoilt! Basically the stockings were old socks stuffed with toilet roll and treats so they had to get throught the toilet roll to get to the treats. Here are a few pics and I will upload vids later:

5 of the big girls tucking in – Tinkerbell (white one) and Treacle on the top and (l-r) Doughnut, Mustard and Pepper on the bottom.

And the other girl in the cage, Charlotte. She’s not very well at the moment but she was pretty enthusiastic about it once she realised there was food involved!!

The boys (l-r) Jools, Rupert and Charlie

And the baby girls (l-r) Saffron, Marzipan and Nutmeg.

Sugar, Burmickity and Fogwatt had one too, but I didn’t get any pics as I was supervising the boys free-range while they attacked theirs.
