Syrian and ratty pics - not together :P

Some pics from when we cleaned the rats out (trumpet please!) the first time Titus voluntarily came out of his cage!!!

I'd tried getting Titus to come onto my hands, legs, couch, foot stool, table...nope! He refused, just stayed squashed into his tube for half an hour until I returned him to his cage! He's very friendly and exolorative in his cage, too; happy to be stroked etc...just didn't want to come out!

So, I tried the bathtub. Don't know why, just did. And look!

And he still loved his fuss

And now the ratty boys!

I bought a harness and lead for them today, because I figured it'd be cute to have them on the floor downstairs or even in the garden...that's too big for them!! I am not having a good time with harnesses recently Never mind though, as it'll do for when we get a guinea pig or two, in the future!

Okto pretending to be shy here (he's really not at all shy...)

I really really want pet rats but my said not a chance in hel-oops-because she thinks there dirty and smelly. I said there supposed to be really smart and friendly like little dogs but she just says no I guess especially now we have a kitten!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh rRed how wonderful that Titus came out for the first time he must be settling in fully at last or gaining confidence!! And your rats are just beautiful of course.
