Four cute rats!

My friend let me take some pictures of her four rats when I was last over and I couldn't resist sharing them She got them all for the same store but the dad was getting old and the person didn't want to breed from him any more so she got him too. She originally just had the one, Moon Tot, and then she got Nikoli and then Spencer and Rossi (dad) together. They're all super super cute! Rossi is grumpy and old, not handled much so he isn't too keen on being picked up but he's happy to take food from you, Nikoli freaks out when you pick him up and he always plays the others up but Moon Tot and Spencer are really sweet and even I can hold them, and I'm funny about holding other peoples pets

Moon Tot - creamy colour with a little tiny grey stripe on his head
Spencer - all over creamy colour
Nikoli - dark brown and white
Rossi - cream with a brown-ish face

They've definitely made me want to start keeping rats again, I once had one when I was really young but he passed away. They make wonderful pets if raised well! They're super clever too I quite fancy breeding them

OMG they are sooo cute. I use to have a lot of rats, only a couple were really affectionate, Hayato and Kuro. Kuro was a mega baby to me, but my mom didn't like him, lol well he only loved me so. Hayato was already a year when I got him and he was an angel. I never purposely bred but two of the girls I bought were pregnant when I bought them, so I had lots of babies

Oh they sound so sweet! They tend to have huge litters too, I imagine you kept the babies ? The person I bought Bandit off bred rats for his raptors food because obviously he could get them for free. I sat here like and he gave me a big bag of youngsters for Bandit. I was so upset!

Eek that would upset me too and yes I did keep them. The one litter had 13 babies, the other only had a few and they were still born. She died a few weeks later too

That's so sad, I know a lot of rats can have complications during and after birth, it all depends on the age they start breeding apparently, I've been doing a lot of research into it now

they are nice rats i think i got to hold moon tot?

They are yes it was Moon Tot
