1) what was the worst injury your rat(s) suffered from?
I've been pretty lucky with my rats and injuries...I'd have to say the worst has been when Blue recently tore a fingernail off...but it only bled for a second, and she was too anxious to get back into the cage (it was treat time) to even notice what she had done lol.
2) what original toy do your rats own?
You know how some things are packed in styrofoam? Well, I had something (I can't even remember what) what was packed in cardboard...the cardboard looked like little mini castles, so I cut a door in them and the ratties love them!
3) what is the cutest name you picked for one of your rats?
Dipper for the reason behind it - my boyfriend and I lived a few hours apart for a year and when we'd be on the phone, he would say that he could see the big dipper, and I would look in the sky and find it and we would feel closer (awwww - cheesy, I know, but hey, I'm a hopeless romantic!). When we got Remy and Dipper, Robin had the job of naming dipper and he named her such because she had a little white 'star' on her forehead and she was the older of the two so she was our Big Dipper
I also like Mouchette...I think that's a cute name
4) what is a cute thing your rat did?
Well, Mouchette only had only 3 babies when I brought her home pregnant...that was awesome lol. I'm pretty sure that everything my rats do is adorable. But lately, I would have to say the cutest thing would be Delilah deciding she is an 'adult'. I have a little cage sitting on top of the FN...Apparently, Delilah can still squeeze through the bars of the FN, so she did, and moved into the little cage. She spends about 80% of her time hanging out in her little flat and comes out now and then to hang out with her "little" sisters lol.
5) what characteristics do your rats have?
They all have their separate personalities:
-Remy is the queen. She is the oldest and most spoiled and knows it. She is a fat and lazy dumbo, and I love her to death
She's a real daddy's girl.
-Blue is the skittish one who will only respond to me. People who visit think she is mean and I can never understand why because she loves me
-Bear is just a big cuddly bear.
-Mouchette was very hormonal when I took her home (because she was evidently pregnant) and so wasn't very friendly, but now that she's had her babies and they have grown, she has become quite the loveable rat
-Splinter is Mouchette's only son - unlike most rough and tumble boys, Splinter would be perfectly content if he could sit on your shoulder all day and give you kisses all day. He's a mamma's boy.
-Elly is shy but very loving. She loves her green igloo but also loves to say hi
-Delilah is my little independent girl...Elly and Delilah are both Mouchette's daughters.
6) what was the nottyest thing your rats did?
When Mouchette hid her babies in the wall...That was not cool. We had to cut a hole in the wall to get them out...
7) what food does your rat like best?
They LOVE peas and dry pasta
