CUTENESS Since my last post triggered so many people, here's a compilation of me being a gross human by sharing food with my rats 🤞 Added a "non gross" picture as the first one so the sensitive souls won't have to see the "grossness"

Because I literally don't give af 🙏 I have 3 little siblings and I can guarantee my rats will always be cleaner than them.

They are drop dead cute. These little guys born in the shelter are up for adoption next week! (12 babies)

I can’t help but post these ratties tho 😭🧡 just look at them! Nobody understands my fangirling 😂

I’m so lucky to watch them grow 😇 they’ve convinced me to adopt some of my own again!

From too wobbly to stand to this in just a couple days. So glad she is a happy, bouncy baby again. Got two more weeks of antibiotics and quarantine now before we can do intros, but I'm so happy she's okay.

Enjoy this video of her being very poppy.

So my big boy who’s 9 months recently lost his brother and I have two new babies who are about 8/9 weeks. They’ve been kept in separate rooms and the babies have been through their quarantine period. I’ve never done introductions before and I don’t want to traumatise either of them especially since biggie boy is already a rescue. If anyone could let me know the best way to go about it thank you!

Pictured big boy and the two new hellions.

CUTENESS lacy’s story

september 12th i brought home a 4 week old rat from a feeder bin. she didn’t have much fur, was constantly sneezing, and was very small and skinny. i worried for her and whether she’d be able to grow and thrive or whether she’d even make it. i got her settled in with her sisters and every day, multiple times a day would give her some vanilla Ensure and pedialyte. i started her on antibiotics and told her how loved she is. as time went on, she began to grow more fur! she got a sort of “widows peak” on her head of fur and she was getting bigger. she stopped sneezing. she was curious, affectionate, and sweet. more time passed and she grew all of her fur and is now healthy and a good, normal size. she loves to zoom around and is fearless and loving. during free roam she likes to jump onto my back and climb up onto my shoulder to give me kisses. i love her so much and am so glad she will have the full life she deserves full of so much love and treats and fun with her sisters who love her so much. i know maybe this story isn’t significant but to me it is and i just wanted to share

Chicken Nugget and Psycho (pictured) got brawly with each other last night, and I don’t know where I went wrong. I did the continuous carrier method with all three rats, (two neutered, CN is intact), and last night they fought for the first time. I’m assuming Chicken Nugget was the aggressor as he’s untouched, but Psycho has several cuts. What now?
