Hi all,
My name is Nathalie and I'm from Halifax, Nova Scotia. My life with rats began in a psychology lab class where we were training rats...My lab prof warned us that we would fall in love with our rat, but I didn't believe her...She was just a rat. Boy was I wrong! I adopted Libby the lab rat (black hooded) after the class was finished and she lived a long and spoiled life.
When Libby passed away, my boyfriend and I took home a blue bareback named Remy and another black hooded named Dipper. Unfortunately, Dipper ended up with a respiratory disease, and her meds couldn't save her and she passed away a month ago when she was almost 2.
At this point, we adopted a baby girl (Chocolate self) named Bear who wouldn't be ready for a new home until September. We figured Remy would be ok by herself for a little bit but soon realized that she was quite bored even though we had her out all the time. It was after she "went on vacation" for a couple days (not sure where she went...) that we decided she couldn't wait for Bear, so we brought home Blue (a black berkshire). They get along great, and we bring Bear home tomorrow! (I convinced her to let me take her home early )
Anyways, now I'm addicted to these little ratties and I'm always looking for other addicts to chat with!
