So my ratties get to free range when I'm home and we usually keep the bedroom door shut but we forgot tonight and I went looking for Norbert and found him (looking super pleased with himself might I add) lying on a 5$ bill under my bed along with some other treasures he had found to make a new best with lol just wanted to see what other fun stuff people have found their ratties so proud of!
What does your rattie make a best with?

Ahh yes, I have one for you! My big squishy hooded boy Achilles fell in love with one particular item one day.
I had an empty dental floss container that had just run out of floss. I was just getting ready to pick it up and put into the trash and Achilles snagged it and was just so proud of it! This was particularly interesting as he was never much interested in toys or stashing things, but boy did he LOVE this, for some reason! Maybe it was the smell of mint? Or the color? Not sure!
He stuck his nose into it, played with it, and then carried it around in his mouth and seemed to actually pose with it when I took this photo, ha ha.
I think he was saying, "This green thing is MINES! I FOUNDS IT!"

Ha ha, so cute! A five dollar bill, go figure! Rats can become so fascinated with the most interesting things that you would never guess they would care about.

I read somewhere that the ink used to print money has a chemical that smells attractive to cats. Wonder if same applies to rats?

That is the cutest picture, knowing our boys he was probably after the mint smell and hoping he could eat it!!!

I feel like this would make a great poster to hang in a dentists office. Maybe captioned "give a rat's ass about your tooth hygiene - floss daily!"
Very cute pic

Dewi found a peach. You can see by the look in his eyes he'd hit the jackpot.
Hahah that thing is way bigger then his head! Don't you feel bad taking away their treasure especially when then they squeak and cry [emoji14] sometimes I catch them stealing my stuff and when I try and take it away oh I feel so bad
Oh god yeah, I would hate that! Luckily, I have never really had any boys that got so obsessed with something that they did not want to let it go...they normally get bored with their object after a minute and lose interest on their own...lucky for me...I would have a hard time taking something away from them that they didn't want to part with! (I am a notorious pushover with my rats). :roll:

You a pushover?! No!
Aww how sweet!!!
There was a time when my rats would always steal my math homework. It was only math. I think it had to do with the specific paper we used and the loads of graphite on it-- I'm bad at math and it takes me a lot of scrap work...

Nope, not me! :lol:
Aida, that is really cute! I am imagining you telling the teacher, "Uhh, my rat stole my math homework...really!" :lol:
Personal theory on that? Rats like math homework because they are actually studying it closely in efforts toward their future goal of taking over the WORLD! Yah!!
