Hi Fellow Rat Parents!
I have been asked several times to share some new photos of my boys so I finally remembered to get my camera out while they were enjoying a shredded wheat soaked in some soy milk today. They are now 2 years and 2 months old. I cannot believe how time has flown since we adopted them from the rat rescue as wee little babies!
Achilles is our hooded boy and his brother Maximus is the dark brown berkshire. They are the joys of my life (and the spoiled princes that my husband serves daily as an official rat slave daddy! They have him wrapped around their little pink fingers, of course!)
I also included a couple photos of Achilles...sigh..my gigantic fat boy. Our attempts to slim him down have not really been successful..I think it is because he loves food more than life itself and we are wussy pushovers. Whatever baby wants, baby gets, as you know. Stricter parenting with his treats is waaay past due. My husband says, "Life is short, he loves his food, it makes him happy, etc." Dang, a hard situation. We never give them junk, but too much of anything, even healthy treats, is still TOO much.
Anyway, here are a few photos. Hope you enjoy.

And, a few shots of my chubby bubby...first a big yawn greeting for Mommy! Blurry shot, but boy do I love those sweet yawn greetings!
My walrus of LOVE.
Achilles loves to be loved and to give licky kisses just about as much as he loves FOOD. Our sweet baby.
If I can get some more interesting shots in some different locations, I will add them to this thread later...so hard to get my boys to leave their play village. They LOVE it there and don't really like to leave it for new areas!
