Finally, here it is, my thread dedicated to photos of my beloved ratties.
First up are photos of my dearly departed Peanut, who joined our family in August 2012. She had been one of the animals housed at a "Critter Camp" and had been injured (stepped on) by one of the campers. A friend of mine was nursing her back to health and, knowing I had rats in the past and have two children who adore animals, asked me if I would like to take her. It had been almost 20 years since I'd had rats. Goodness only know why I waited that long! Now my boys and I are hooked on rats (again!).
We adopted Layla from the Guelph Humane Society in October of 2012. I thought she would be a great companion for Peanut, so I purchased a DCN and worked diligently on introductions for over a month, but it became very clear by the end of the year that Peanut was not at all interested in Layla, in fact wanted nothing to do with her, and wanted her no where near "her stuff". Poor Layla, she wanted Peanut so badly. But I got some cute photos during their many "playdates...
