….and i’m a mismarked agouti hooded male fancy rat. My favourite thing is coming out to play. I’m always the first to the cage door when them other lazy boys can’t be bothered to move and I love to climb about on our side of the rat room, especially getting up on Mum’s desk and [...]

As you may know I used to have a perspex divider in the rat room to keep the rats in their play pen area. A little while ago I fell over the perspex and broke it, so I had a smaller piece that I used to patch up the gap I made. Eventually, however, Mustard [...]

Tinks and Fogwatt were curled up in bed with Sugar yesterday and suddenly both started boggling at me. First Fogwatt, then Tinky, almost like one was setting the other off. Anyway, by some miracle I actually had the camera with me, so I videoed them. Here it is: Synchronised rat boggling. Enjoy!

There are still three baby girls looking for a forever home. They are now six and a half weeks old so are able to go their new home now. There are two champagne hoodies and a mink hoody. The mink girl is a bit shy but the other two are mad little hooligans that don’t [...]
The babies are growing up so quick. They are rats but in miniature and completely mental. I am amazed constantly at how fast they whizz about everywhere and every so often all of them go nuts all at the same time and race around and chase and jump on each other - it’s brilliant.
The ones [...]
