Sybele's Official Thread

[lilspaz68]

Sybele was the little feeder breeder who Rattymouse picked up in Ajax and delivered her to me that night.

This little miss is wary and untrusting but also shocked at all the Good Things happening to and around her. It will take time for this formerly neglected, unhandled girl with a respiratory infection, mites (treated already) and possibly pregnant (but I think she is reabsorbing her litter).

I adore her and she's living in my Bed Cage and now is venturing out every once in awhile, but bolts back if she's startled or I move. I have a feeling when all is said and done, this little lady will change from passive to feisty because she can finally be herself and not have to worry she would be culled.

Some bad cellphone pics for you. Unfortunately I couldn't find my memory card reader so cannot use my good camera until I get the one I had to order online.

How she was sent to me. I thought she might come in a box. Nope.

She really likes me bringing food to her cage door for her to try

Mmmm...multi-grain cheerios

Cuddling with old frail Eggie She was sooo content and relaxed. She really likes to cross her paws like this <3

such a sweet, and very fortunate girl

 

[Sheldon]

Aww that tipper container breaks my heart. I’m really glad to see her enjoying some treats and nice company.

 

[Fidget]

She looks so happy there with her little feets crossed, guess she knows she's not going to have to run..

 

[jorats]

She's gorgeous! She's one lucky girl now.

Finally got my card reader, so much better pics from now on. I have popped a tiny neutered 24 month old boy in with her. He has 3 brothers but he's odd man out with them. Tiny, more like a girl, and he gets beat up and left out more often times than nought. I was a little worried about this sweet little boy, and Sybele adored his sisters so why not right? I caught them snuggling on the top of the decker already, but most times they sleep apart which is fine. Give it time. Sybele has lost her pregnancy and is losing weight rapidly, so I decided not to wait for her to have a friend. Meet Toby...

And our little Miss wants OUT!! After her brief stint of being a wild rat, she really wants to do it again

 

[Petunia]

hahaha she does look a wee bit upset about her confinement. I hope she'll grow to love her new buddy, and that they'll keep each other busy so she's not so frustrated about not being out.
I bet she just wants to hang with you, and when you're not home, she's perfectly content to chill in the cage

 

[lilspaz68]

She still hates being touched or picked up, so I doubt she misses me much except for the Bringer of Good Things lol

 

[Petunia]

hahaha The Bringer of Good Things!

aww I hope she comes around in time. Some never do, of course, as you know all too well, but we know you'll love her anyway. <3

 

[lilspaz68]

Every morning I take her and Toby to the bathroom with me, I put a pile of clothes and fleece on the counter so she can feel safe and hide. After her little escape I cannot trust her for regular out time so had to do something different for her and Toby.Our morning routine, is meds, bathroom, weigh-in then bobbling around in the piles and on top when she felt brave. With Toby leading the way, she's improved by leaps and bounds and only the other day I got cheek tips and relaxed contented swallows when I was stroking her. She loves when I lean over and kiss her back (no hands involved).

One day I hope for a tiny little brux.

Precious girl! From hell to heaven, no doubt she's gotta be a little afraid to trust her luck. Every little sign they trust us becomes a huge neon marquee in kids like this, eh?

Wow, I can’t believe some people. Sending a rat in a plastic container is just horrible. I can’t express enough how happy I am for your little baby to finally get such a good momma x
