~Meet my six ratties~
~Dial-up users beware- lots of pictures~

Fiona- Black Hooded

Fiona is the friendliest and most outgoing of my rats. She is always first to the cage door begging for attention, and she chatters to herself constantly (complete with exaggerated eye boggling,) she's such a happy girl. Fiona likes to boss the other rats around, and get loves from the people. In Fall 2007, she had a bad ear infection and now has a slight head tilt, Summer 2008 my sweet girl had a tumor removed. She's healed wonderfully, and you'd never be able to tell she'd ever had a tumor or surgery!

Rose- Beige Bareback

Rose is a big, squishy, lazy girl. She is never in a hurry. She likes to sit with me and watch tv and she loves to chow down on yogurt drops. Rose is Fiona’s littermate (though they couldn’t be more different!)

Lana- Blue Hooded

Lana is a mamma’s girl. She’s a total sweetheart, she loves to give kisses (check out the video!) After her first birthday she started gaining weight, even though she eats a good diet and likes running on the wheel and coming out for free-range time. She's such a chub, I call her my little hamster-butt. She has the softest fur you could imagine, she's great to cuddle with!

Saki- Black Berkshire

Saki is a spastic little girl with a big personality. She was terribly shy when I first got her, but she eventually warmed up to people. Until around her first birthday she has been super hyper, now she's content to cuddle and give kisses and be mildly hyper. Saki is an obsessive-compulsive wheel runner, she marathons on the wheel every night.

Charlie- Black Split-Cap, Odd Eye
 
Charlie is my first ever boy rat. He is the anti-boy (at least that's what I call him.) Where most male rats are laid-back and cuddly, Charlie hates getting kissed on and cuddled. He's a goofy, hyper boy who loves to hand-wrestle with me. He also loves his five girls (he didn't love getting neutered though, hehe.) I didn't notice until I'd had him a couple weeks, but he has one ruby eye, which never shows up in the flash pictures I take of him, of course!

Macy- Pink Eyed White, Double Rex
 
Macy is a charming little double rex (hairless) girl. She still has some rex-y baby peach fuzz, but is slowly losing it. Like most young girl rats she very energetic, and also kind of mouthy. She’s not shy in the least bit, and will climb right into your hand and lick and nibble you. The pictures don't do her justice at all, she's really adorable!

~Home Sweet Home~

A couple of different ways I had the SP Exotics cage set up. I'm planning on getting a second of these cages and combining them to accomadate my growing rattie population. The cage set ups include the following:
 
-matching hammocks and liner
-12" Comfort Wheel
-litter box
-Waffle Block house
-Mini Cozy Cup
-hamster ball house
-igloo
-climbing ropes
-hanging wooden chew toys
-food dish
-8 ounce and 4 ounce water bottles
