Odd Habits

Fern has a strange habit of leaning out of her swinging hammock and drinking her water upside down, finally, I managed to snap a picture of it. She is one weird rodent...

Usually she is hanging in a more awkward position.

Ratties in a new house!

The rats are in a new place! I moved to a new house, and they're super curious about it. They haven't been able to run around yet, since I've got about a bazillion boxes everywhere and many many many things they could use to get into heaps of trouble. But as soon as I'm unpacked, I'll let them run around my room and bathroom. Yay new house!

Guess who turned #1?

Yay! Let's celebrate! The rats turned one year old one March 22nd and they are big girls now! They had a fun birthday with things to unwrap and TREATS! Here are some pictures of the babies (well, I guess they aren't babies anymore...) on their birthday!

               The darlings! Poppy won't face the camera at the same time as Fern though...

                                           Poppy is discovering the corner...

                                             Poppy and Fern! This pic is kind of fuzzy, but oh well!

                                          Ferny-Werny darling

                                             Fern!

                                          And Poppy!

Happy Birthday to the ratties!

Surgery

Fern got surgery! She had a mammary (not sure if I'm spelling it right) tumor, and she had it removed on Friday. She has to be separated from Poppy for two weeks. Poppy is bored, but Fern is keeping up a good recovery. Very bouncy, I have to stop her from opening up her stitches. Anyway...just thought I should post that.

Thanks!

Close-up Time!

Hi!

Poppy and Fern are ready for their close-ups! 

Poppy!!!! I accidentally picked her up when she had food in her mouth. This resulted in a glare from the rat and a fabulous photo on my part.

Fern!!!!!! Really nice pic, right? My little rascal;)

Thanks,

NutFreeG, Poppy and Fern:)

YAY! FUN FOR ALL!

Hiya!

The rats got some new stuff a few days ago...as they had managed to successfully demolish most of their old stuff...and they were HORRIBLY bored. Their Royal Highness's were presented with...

a red and green striped crinkle tunnel with soft fuzz on the inside (very fun!)
A new little hut...and in PURPLE (the best color ever!)
Two little cardboard trees for chewing on...
Wooden mistletoe! (WONDERFUL!)
And a hanging wooden thing with a bell on the end (mommy will NEVER sleep again!)

they love their new stuff and they spent the whole day after I got it running around and never stopping! They would like to show you some pics (sorry for the bad photography...)
                                        
MISTLETOE!!!! Ok...they LOVE this...been sniffing at it and I caught them bumping noses under it...

                                  Crinkle tunnel!!! Bad photo...but yeah:)

                                            One of the cardboard trees!

                                            HUT!

                                         Oh, I forgot to mention I gave them a rock...

                                        The Ringing NO-SLEEP-FOR-ANYONE machine!

 

 

 

Did I forget to mention it SNOWED in the rat cage...well, the snow was purple and it was actually bedding...but that is still a rare treat!

  And here is dear little Fern! I caught this photo mid-yawn, so it looks like she's screaming or something. She also looks a bit ruffled cause she was sleeping and Poppy woke her up by stepping on her head.

                                           Poppy...sweet little Poppy:)

Thanks,

NutFreeG, Poppy and Fern:)

Ratties say Hello!

Hey Everyone!

Poppy, Fern and I decided to take a few photos today. I got some pretty good ones, since the rats seem to be IN LOVE WITH THE CAMERA! I'm not sure if GRABBING and HUGGING and LEAPING at the camera is "normal" rat behavior, but it seems to be my rat's behavior. Poppy tried to grab it and take it from me, Fern tried to jump out of her cage and take it. Oh...goodness...what am I to do with the little rascals? Anyway...PHOTOS!
                                           
                                          Hey there! This is a great pic of the two of them!

                                               Fern!!!!! Such a sweetie!

 Poppy! Got VERY CLOSE to the camera VERY QUICKLY as I took the pic, she seemed to have evil ideas in mind. But you can see her face at least:)

      Another good Poppy one...and my hand looking really distorted in the corner...yeah.

Rememberance shot! One of the first pics I took of the TINY LITTLE BABIES! OH MY GOSH...they were so small...look at how big they've grown!

                                         Twisted Limbo Photo! Yay!

Sooo...that is the Ratty Batty fun! Yay!
