The rats got a big surprise this past week! I posted pictures on my other blog of their new cage. They really seem to enjoy the extra space and sound like they are bouncing off the walls once I turn the lights off at night!

My two little rats are polar opposites. Georgie is outgoing and unstoppable. She moves a mile a minute and is curious about everything! Little Lucy is quite a bit more timid. At the beginning she would freeze and shrink back whenever I went to pick her up. Once I picked her up she was always more interested in trying to find a place to hide … Continue reading →
We’ve finally settled on a name for the little beige and white rat. Her name is Lucy! So Georgie and Lucy it is.

My beige and white little girl still needs a name. … Continue reading →

One of the rat books I bought mentioned Yogies. So, curious to see if the rats would like them, I bought a package of them yesterday at Petco. And both rats LOVE them! I’ve given them a variety of foods in the past week and they’ve seemed to enjoy it all. But, I could definitely tell that they ADORED the Yogies. Both rats gobbled down … Continue reading →
Kids and dogs can be potty trained, but what about a rat? I’ve had my two rats less that a week and I’ve already learned that a rat cage can get pretty smell, pretty fast! However, I’ve also learned that it is possible to potty train or litter box train a rat. Rats like to be clean and will tend to use the bathroom in … Continue reading →
