Ready for some hunky rat men!?
Here are my new arrivals.
Yoshi

His nakkie buddy Wally

Who is now best buddies with U.B.

And the shy but sweet Ollie (does not like that camera contraption in his face) haha

 

[Joanne]

What handsome men you have there! I take it they were two groups of two when they came to you?

 

[SterlingRats0408]

Yep! They decided they were living together which temporarily screwed up the cage arrangement cuz the cage was not big enough for 4...at their huge size it was barely enough for one pair

I get rattie kisses all day from my baby grace! When she's tired of giving kisses she hides herself in my shirt close to my chest! 💜

 

[Joanne]

It sounds like you've got the makings of a heart rat!

 

[manda_lovee]

This is my first rat it'd be so awesome to have that experience for the first time ever with my first rat!

 

[SterlingRats0408]

I had it with my Sterling (hence my username) R.I.P. my big hunky man

 

[Sheldon]

My heart rat is my first rat.

Is the lettuce a ratty equivalent of a kick me sign? Not sure who put it there...

 

[manda_lovee]

What pretty babies you guys both have.


Was Sterling a Rex?

 

[SterlingRats0408]

Yes a dumbo rex

 

[manda_lovee]

I wanted a Rex so badly but the breeder only had one & it was a male, & I wanted to stick with females until later maybe.

I got lucky. Sterling was my first rescue almost a year ago. He was a "biter" and "not friendly and he was food aggressive"
He was so not he was just never given the chance, no one ever picked him up other then with a glove and only to clean his cage once a week (ish) or to breed a female. They fed him between the bars and he lived alone other then when breeding.

 

[manda_lovee]

Awwww what a pretty boy

 

[trihkal]

So glad he came to you Sterling! What a handsome lil man.

My sweet girls taking a nap in mommies bed! Lucky girls!!

He was super handsome! So very lucky he came into your home where he could be loved.

How sweet! I'm glad they are bonding so well with you. I always worry first timers will be disappointed when they realize not all rats are super friendly right away, but I'm glad your experience is turning out good so far,

 

[manda_lovee]

Its been amazing. I get ratty kisses. When they tire themselves out I get cuddles. I did my research and knew what to expect from them at first & I "let them pick me" instead of vice versa. Most bad beginner experiences I've heard of seem that their rats have come from large chain pet stores like Petco and what have you. I think that has something to do with it.

 

[trihkal]

Yeah pet stores aren't the ideal place to acquire rats. For that reason among others. I'm glad you did things right and really researched everything. Now this is your reward. Sweet girls that love you! It's sure worth it isn't it? =)
