Of course as I am writing this thread I can't seem to remember where all the pics I have taken over the last year are 
so I will just have to keep randomly adding to this thread lol. So I have 2 groups of 2 living in my last DCN.
I will begin with my oldies; Dexter and Hunter.
Dexter has been with me for 2.5 years. Shelagh, Chelle and I rescued a group of scared little brothers from the TAS. I took in 2 very timid but polite boys, Dexter and his brother Finn. Dexter will put up with cuddles but is much more content just chilling beside me during out time.
Here's Dex (left) with his brother (rip) :heart:
And with Hawk (rip)
And in one of Petunia's hammocks
Hunter has been with my since he was born at CCH (a rescue a friend of mine used to run for any newbies ) in October 2010. He and his brother Hawk grew into big handsome boys. But at a couple months old Hunter developed a head tilt so even though there was no smell or discharge off to the vet her went and was immediately put on abs. When there was no improvement we decided to try a stronger abs still thinking it was an ear infection. The stronger abs still did nothing. This is when we discovered he was different leading us to think the tilt is due to some neurological issue. During out time he would be constantly on the go and then mid run he would decide he was done and he would be out like a light no matter where he was. He also developed the talent of choking on foam or paper toys to the point where he is no longer allowed to have them. He also lacks social skills :giggle: when he meets a new rat her will walk right up to them use his paw to lift their hind end so he can have a good sniff and considering he's a big boy sometimes ends up flipping them over. It's quite a sight. At other times he will throw temper tantrums either when he wants out, wants to be left alone, wants more treats (even though he's already had 5 :giggle: ) etc. Otherwise he is a completely healthy boy and always good for a laugh.
Oh hai!
I have found him sleeping like this on more than 1 occasion
And now for the evil twins; Dixie and Pax. These girls were born at CCH (the X litter). When Dixie was a few weeks old they thought they were going to lose her. She wasn't growing and seemed to have a dark mass in her abdomen. As kind of a last ditch effort they put her on zithro and she made an amazing recovery. However due to this scare she was deemed unadoptable. These sisters came to me 1.5 years ago as fosters however it soon became apparent I was never letting them go :giggle: . These girls are crazy, I swear they run on the wheel 24/7. They love to okay but you have to be careful because they will get so into it they will pounce on your hand and power groom a little too hard. They have had cagemates in the past but it takes a very tough rat to live with those 2.
Pax is the boss. She's also very photogenic.
"Mom what is that?"
And Dixie my pretty little double rex.
She isn't so photogenic lol
So there's my crew and there will be more pics to come!
