In two weeks, Arlene will be 3 years old! She's helped raise babies, helped care for scared rescue rats, and has outlived so many.
Her legs don't work as well as they used to, but she still zooms around and bullies her grandbabies when they get annoying.

Felix has finished his meds and seems to be feeling better. He's back to being curious about everything and wanting attention.

Everyone, including his brothers, tried so hard to save him, but in the end Boone's little body was just dealing with too much.
RIP, sweet boy

Boone got liver damage and some other issues from the antibiotics he was given for his lungs. He's not doing well at all. Another vet appointment tomorrow.

Rat pile.
They loved that towel. Little Boone was staying alert for new scary noises while his brothers napped.

The boys think the vet's office is a giant playground.
Faust is good, Felix is possibly getting better, Boone has bad lungs. Waiting on meds.

Allll of my male rats very suddenly got very sick. Has anyone who happens to see this dealt with viruses in rats before? They didn't react to antibiotics at first but a nebulizer seems to be helping. Vet appointment soon.

Ratty intros have started. Besides Clover being a brat, they're going well! Big boss lady grandma rat is getting a nebulizer treatment so she's not there to put everyone in their place yet.

Rat pile! There's also another one buried under there.
I'm trying to start intros today and not a single rat will come out. Sleepy babies.

Happy Halloween from my little Skaven colony. The rats did not like paint on their paws so I had to hand paint these while flipping rats to stare at their feet.

Faust is the cuddliest rat ever. As long as he gets endless back scratches.

My scrunkly little old man is gone. He was having heart problems and made it very clear that he was ready to go.
He had health issues all of his life but managed to make it to 2 years and 9 months.
RIP you grouchy boy.

Tried to play a lyre for the rats. Haven't played in awhile, couldn't remember any songs. I've never felt so judged by a rat.

We decided to try a box from @rattybox.bsky.social
Arlene approves! Everyone else was too sleepy and didn't want to be moved.
That bat hammock is so cute but they're gonna shred it immediately.
