They loved that towel. Little Boone was staying alert for new scary noises while his brothers napped.

The boys think the vet's office is a giant playground.
Faust is good, Felix is possibly getting better, Boone has bad lungs. Waiting on meds.

Allll of my male rats very suddenly got very sick. Has anyone who happens to see this dealt with viruses in rats before? They didn't react to antibiotics at first but a nebulizer seems to be helping. Vet appointment soon.

Ratty intros have started. Besides Clover being a brat, they're going well! Big boss lady grandma rat is getting a nebulizer treatment so she's not there to put everyone in their place yet.

Rat pile! There's also another one buried under there.
I'm trying to start intros today and not a single rat will come out. Sleepy babies.

Happy Halloween from my little Skaven colony. The rats did not like paint on their paws so I had to hand paint these while flipping rats to stare at their feet.

Faust is the cuddliest rat ever. As long as he gets endless back scratches.

My scrunkly little old man is gone. He was having heart problems and made it very clear that he was ready to go.
He had health issues all of his life but managed to make it to 2 years and 9 months.
RIP you grouchy boy.

Tried to play a lyre for the rats. Haven't played in awhile, couldn't remember any songs. I've never felt so judged by a rat.

We decided to try a box from @rattybox.bsky.social
Arlene approves! Everyone else was too sleepy and didn't want to be moved.
That bat hammock is so cute but they're gonna shred it immediately.

Old man Kritch has an ongoing project called "absolutely obliterate this cardboard". He chews it all night and can be heard through most of the house.
Also ignore his goopy eyes...he's always had eye issues and needs eyedrops often.

Kind of steadily spiraling back into depression since losing my boy, so time for memorial art of him. Thinking of attempting an actual painting this time

It's really rough having so many older rats all at once. Last night we found Marnie had passed in her sleep. She was a rescue who never learned to trust people, but I'll miss seeing those hopeful little boba eyes begging for treats.

The oldest ratties got some quiet time away from the young, hyper rats to (very carefully) climb the rat tree and eat a lot of snacks.
Arlene is 2 years and 8 months old, has a lipoma, and is very blind. But she still zoomed around and climbed very high.
