Now up to 12 rats, 10 rescues and 2 from a breeder. I love them so much 🥰 new cage came in today!

Working on this boy! He was sold as a feeder so he is shy and skittish. I think, with a few sessions of this, he may come around. Soon he won’t hide when I get near the cage once he learns I am his friend.

uhhh. He has a massive butthole, I wasn’t expecting this with a hairless rat lmao. I’m so confused

brothers* oops

the scrodent has arrived, baby charlos now has 3 adopted brothers

That’s a male seahorse though just saying, males carry the babies. 🤣

rat plug on the way, stinkies in tow, baby charlos meets his brother soon!!

new arrival tomorrow… Those ears!!!

Charlos Nuggy smiling from ear to ear as he receives a free community shower from Blue 🥰 #fancyrat

Baby Charlos Nuggy gets a mail-order baby brother tomorrow!!!! I’m so excited. I know he will be so happy.

Much like dogs, some rats will wag their tails when they are extremely happy or excited. Here’s Tubbsy petting Charlos Nuggy. Charlos Nuggy wags his tail. He is about to be 5 weeks old! #fancyrat

Next rat I get is getting named Dr. Spaceman 100% 🤣 If you get the reference, good on you 😊

I think Jing Jing has ADD. he went in, hand picked a crinkle ball, then yeeted it half a second later 🤣

Charlos-Nuggy is the cutest baby in the world right now. Look at him 🥰 he’s so excited to play. Ignore my rat-scratched hands, 2 of my guys have crazy sharp knife nails that they are slowly working on lol. I need to get a million lava ledges 😅.
