MY LION RAT KING!
#Roux is strong, majestic ….. and afraid of Kleenex and fuzzy socks! She runs away if either of those things are near her. Listen, she may not be the bravest #rat in the world, but she’s the cutest little #rattie in my kingdom! I love you Roux!
MY DELICATE EATERS.
#Toupee & #Potato are my gentle, slooooow eaters! As we know, #ratties can gobble up food like nobody’s business but these two are just so darn dainty with their food! Such manners!
When I first got Toupee, her and Potato did NOT get along. It took me a while to understand what was going on between them, as Toupee was getting along with everyone else and Potato was getting along with Roux. It was just these two that had problems. After working with the both of them, I realized they had something in common: both were VERY sensitive and insecure.
Unfortunately, there was a lot of fighting and it was worrisome, so I ended up having to separate them and live apart. I was bummed there was a good chance they would never be able to be in the same dwelling. BUT I never gave up on them! I reached out to a few people who were rat pros in our community and they taught me very special techniques to try on the girls and I’m happy to say with persistence, a lot of patience and working on their fear, they are now BEST FRIENDS! In fact, of all the #rats , these two stick together the most! Isn’t it funny when that happens? So now, we are one big happy family! And my two slow eaters can now eat delicately… together! Nom. Pause. Nom. Pause. Nom.
PS! Do you see how at one point Toupee eats her cracker into a little heart?!?! I can’t.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY! #Toupee and #Roux are obsessed with #Mizu - They see her as a mother figure and practically fight over who gets to sleep next to her! And as you can tell from the look on Mizu’s face, rambunctious kids can be exhausting!!! I’m so proud of Mizu, she’s taken on the role of mama so well! I love her so much! Today I honor all the beautiful #rattie moms out there! May your day be filled with lots of love, connection, kindness and #rat kisses! Happy Mother’s Day!!! PS- today as I was giving treats to the rats I said, “Guess what! It’s Mother’s Day today guys! Love me and praise me!” They all looked at me like I was crazy, grabbed their treats and ran off. I then yelled as they ran away, “I said praise and love me girls!!!!! Hello? Anyone?!?!?!?” I swear I’m so needy. * https://www.instagram.com/p/COqoV9VgAOh/?igshid=x89pcvyzm4f3
