Here's Dolly and Zelda. They still love to play together, even after Zelda has grown so large. When I first got Zelda, she was smaller then Dolly!Dolly just loves to stand up on her back paws and nip -in a playful manner -at Zelda's ears! Duke also loves to play with Dolly -though he tends to almost crush her, he is so big! His chest is very wide, you really don't want to stand in front of Duke if he's running towards you full-force -I've done it, and it took a little while for me to get up off the ground!
You may know that I'm hoping to buy a pet rat -a dumbo rat to be exact.
Dumbos differ from other rats. Dumbos have large, round, low-set ears; while -most of the time -a normal rat, such as a fancy rat or a garden rat, will have ears that are higher placed on the head.
There is a very good breeder up in Huntsville, (that's where Quinn got her rat) and she has a very nice rat-breeding setup.
All her rats are raised with a lot of handling, and they are well-tempered and well bred, no inbreeding at all!
Anyway, this rat-breeder has a new litter that was just born on New Year's Eve, and I'm hoping I can get one of the babies. They are usually ready to go by 4 weeks old.
I just bought a rat cage today. It is pretty big for the price -$44.99 -and has four levels.As you can see I have already put bedding in it -not that I'm going to be getting a rat soon, or anything. I just kinda wanted to see what it would look like.
After a little bit of reorganizing; I put the rat cage next to Norbert's -who completely ignored me and kept on sleeping... Over to the far left you can see some buckets and containers -that's my animal stuff. Like goat collars, Norbert's cricket powder -etc.
While we are talking about animals -this is Oreo. My sister Indiana got this sweet little standard-ear female for Christmas. Oreo has a cute little mask, and she loves to be held!
This is Quinn's dumbo rat Princess Peach. You see how different her ears are compared to Oreo's?Peach is very soft and spends most of her time up Quinn's sleeves, (it's a rat thing!)
