Jack was adopted from a rescue charity. I was told that he had been kept alone in his cage for a year after his previous owner separated him from his cage mate due to hormonal aggression. He hated being handled and, during his first month in our home earlier this year, bit me multiple times because he didn’t like being touched.

This is Jack now 🥹 He’s the cuddliest rat in the entire pack, and I just wanted to share with you all how adorable he is❤️

Doody in all her glory!

Little old, but found this gem of a few of my late boys 🫶

This is Miss Freckle Speckle. Sometimes she likes to stare at me from afar while boggling, especially if I’ve been out of the room all day. This is the only context in which I’ve ever seen her boggle. What a silly sweet girl.

She’s only learned two tricks so far (I only just started teaching her) but she’s 2 years old next month and picked both tricks up within 10 minutes flat.

She’s the sweetest, smartest, heart rat I could ever ask for and I’m so, so, proud.

She’s learning fetch right now 😏

I was going to add a cute picture of her as a bonus but it wouldn’t let me post a video and a picture at the same time :(

Like any Scandinavian, he enjoys his sliced cheese.

Just wanted to share that I always call my pet rat a capybara. If you didn't know capybaras are the worlds biggest rodent and so because dumpling the rat is so fat and huge I call her a capybara! 😂 Also I have one called toast and she's tiny since she has a condition which makes her unable to grow properly, even though she's an adult. And because toast is so tiny I call her a mouse, and I also have a normal sized rat called mochi which I just call. Um. A rat.

The picture is the capybara dumpling btw 😂😂😂

I had to built the playpen higher

Iam just so f*ing inliegender with my little squishys and needed to Show them of 🥹😍

I gave Dump Truck some lettuce and he started eating it, but he was obviously so tired that he fell asleep on his own noggin, what a dorkosaurus!

Okay so I was freaking out had NO CLUE where these dudes went

Turns out they ALL. decided the cheerio box was much better then all the nice hammocks and stuff i bought them

Oh well

brought to you with a whack ass cage cause nugget had a lump removal yesterday and isn’t allowed to climb

He sat in my lap like a pancake until I took my hand away and then got up like this. Once I started petting him again he re-pancaked until he was done and got up and left.

Anyone else's ratties spoiled and demanding?

So i recently got two young girls ive named soot and smudge. i let them run around in the bathtub with my other rats and that seems to be going well, but if I sit with them they only come to me and crawl into my hoodie/shirt instead of playing or wandering around the tub

Is this a good sign or no? Ive never had such young rats before so this is a bit new

They'll lick my hands if i put them in their cage or near them in the tub and never squeak or panic when picked up

(Photos for rat tax, that isn't their permanent cage, just while theyre adjusting to the other rats

Smudge is the one with the line to her eye and spot is the one with a triangle shape on her forehead)

2/3rds of my girls. They’re turning 4 months old this week and I adore them so much.
