Hi everyone! I went to the pet store to purchase a couple mice. I was introduced to a rat by the young kid who was helping me with what I needed for the mice. I held her and was somewhat freaked out by her tail. I gave her back to the kid then went about my business. A week later, I was back in the store and once again the young kid handed me the rat to hold. I don't know what happened that second time but after her snuggling up to my neck and climbing on my shoulders I knew I had to give her a forever and happy home.
Her name is Muffin and a happy home she does have!! I have had dogs and cats before and I have to say, Muffin is my favorite! I think it's because she will only live a few short years and I feel like I have to give her all the TLC I can. She is sooooooo spoiled too. She eats human food, edamame is her favorite, sleeps in my bed with me, runs around the house all day like a crazy person and is more curious than any cat I've known. She's a Level 4 food hoarder (���� and it's so much fun to give her food and watch her hop under the couch then run back to me for more!! It's not so much fun to pick up all her food under the couch every night though. Ha. She licks me and falls asleep in my arms when I scratch her tiny head. I took her to the vet 3 days after I brought her home. She checked out happy and healthy. Yesterday we were back at the vet because I noticed her "grunting". Not knowing anything about rats, I thought it was her cute way of telling me she loved me. After I Googled it, I read it could be a respiratory infection. Sure enough. 2 antibiotics and $157 later, we were back home. Soooooo, if your rats start to grunt or make little pig noises, please take them to the vet to ensure their good health!
I'm looking forward to posting and gaining knowledge on this site!! ����. #rodentlove
