lol.... most people want to steal Vincenzo! Cyril has actually become a very sweet boy in the last few months. He's always been sweet with me, but he's become a lot more social with the other rats instead of trying to start fights with everyone. I haven't seen him crab walk or box with anyone...

Hi guys... it's been quite a while since I've been here. Life is busy, but I miss you all. Anyway, I thought I would post a few pics of some of my kiddos. Vincenzo Bob Elwood Cyril Kelly Brie Wow... yeah, it's been too long since I've been here. It took me a few minutes to...

Today, Emmett, Justin, Cyril and Ryan and one year old! Yayyy!!!!!! Happy Birthday, sweet boys. And kisses to your brothers Simon and Jed at the bridge. Also - birthday wishes to your other sibs - Alan, Denny at Mallori's, and Echo and Shampoo at Josh's!

Let's see..... a grand total of 44 if I'm counting right! And that's in just at a year of keeping rats.

OMG, that picture of Nessie is adorable! Amazing how she manages to look so innocent! And the double wide... awesome! I'm planning on attaching the girls' two FNs. Not sure it will matter to them, since all of them sleep in one hammock anyway!

My biggest rat is Bob. I'm not quite sure how much he weighs, since the kitchen scale I have only goes up to 1000 grams. Bob bottoms out the needle - but I don't think he's overweight, I think he's just a BIG rat! Most of the boys weigh between 450 and 550 or so.

Thanks guys!! It has been a stressful time, but things are looking up. The boys are loving having their whole room to play in. And I've discovered that they loooove tater tots more than anything else in the world. My girls are still nutty as ever. They have six hammocks in their cage, and...

Hi all, I don't have alot of time right now, but I wanted to say hi and I've missed you all and your stories and pictures, and talking about my kids and sharing pictures. We are three nurses short at work, and census is high, so I've been working 60+ hour weeks. Between that, and taking care...

Wow, 39 months. Rest in peace, Vincent.

Yeah, I really do value the support from here when I've had the kinds of losses that I've had lately - 5 in the last month or so. I know I tend to disappear for days when I lose one who's extra special, but the words of support I get from you guys mean alot to me. There's been so much loss...

Hearing about his death was the first time I've been truly saddened about a celebrity's passing.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Shelagh. Dilbert was a beautiful boy...and what a ham for the camera!

Oh god, Jo, I'm so sorry I missed this. Big hugs to you, and I pray that you discover what's going on soon and how to stop it. :hugs:

I am so sorry, Jo. So many losses among us so recently... so heartbreaking.

It's a tough choice. I love them all, but I'd have to say I have a slight preference for the boys. But as soon as I say that, I think of all the things I love about my girls!

Bob is sad. He misses his brother Roger. Just wanted to check in since I haven't been around much lately. My heart just hurts since Roger's death. I miss him. We all miss him.

Thanks to all of you. I miss him so much. I love them all dearly, but Roger was so very special to me, and he was from the very first time I laid eyes on him. I'd put him on the top level of the FN, and tap one of the lower levels and call him, and he'd come running to me and into my hand...

Thank you all. Roger was the sweetest rat, although he had a mischievous streak in him as well. He tried on occasion to be dominant, but he just wasn't very good at it. He'd puff up and crab-walk somebody, and then close his eyes and cringe and make himself flat waiting for the attack. He...

I cannot, right now, write a fitting tribute to Roger. My heart is just too broken. He had been sick off and on for about the last month. I’d think I was going to lose him and then he’d rally. This time, I just knew there wasn’t going to be a rally. He was doing as well as he had...

Thanks very much! What you don't see in the picture is that Roger is on top of the FN... and I swear, I could almost hear him saying "Nya nya nya nya, you can't get me!" to Larry. Those two torment each other like children!
