I had Encephalon and Fyn out on the bed last night, and both went nuts.
She's healing up very nicely from her spay!
It's funny watching Ensie, because I always learn something new about her that makes her different from other rats because of her neuro issues. For instance, if she hears any sort of weird sound, or sees something move in the distance, immediately she turns into a meerkat for about a minute. And because she has impaired vision in one of her eyes (or she might even be blind in that eye), she tilts her head and will even go in circles.
I've never had a more food-oriented rat, it's strange. She just... utterly loves food. She never turns it down, regardless of what it is, and tries anything and everything new.
Of course, eating is another adventure for Ensie When she picks up a piece of food, she holds it (in her mouth) really high in the air while flapping her hands around - cutest thing EVER. Then she starts running backward, in circles, until she finds the side of the cage where she'll then lean on it to eat.
She is the blackest rat I've ever had. There's absolutely no silvering or rusting on her whatsoever
And for good measure, the only semi-decent picture I could get of tiny 4-month-old Fyn. He is insane and never wants to stop moving :roll:
