Hello there! I'm Korrie and I'm the proud adoptive mother of three boy rats. They don't all have names yet, I just got them on Saturday (December 7th).
We bought the Petco Rat Manor cage a few months ago, and have been doing ratty research ever since. I got these hammocks from a guy off Craigslist, and the boys from the president (and founder!) of my state's official "rat club". I hope you'll understand when I don't want to reveal exactly WHICH state I'm from.
Anyways, I've got three boys. One has a name: Bethany. Yeah, it's a girl name, but who cares. Gender roles suck.
Also, I'm saving up for a double-unit Critter Nation!
Excuse the phone pictures, it's all I've got for now.
Here's the cage, right after I deep cleaned it. No rats in it just yet.
Here's Bethany and some food! They always take the food out of the dish, so I just took the dish out and put new food where they normally put it.
This is all three, and about the best picture I can get of all three at the same time. THEY NEVER STOP.
The two other boys are mostly black, but one has a splotch of white on his forehead and I call him "Little Splotch" or "Splotch-Head" for now. The other one does not and is "Snuggle butt" or "No-splotch".
No-Splotch
Little Splotch and Bethany's butt, Bethany stole a yogurt drop and Splotch is NOT happy.
"what the heck man"
Also I have a question, all three of them seem to run and chase each other, A LOT. I never hear any loud squeaks but there's definitely some little "cheep"s when they get caught. I think Bethany gets chased the most. Is that okay? They're not causing any injury, but they just do it.. A lot.. I'm probably worried for no reason.
Anyways, hello!!
