Shameless Addict
After what feels like an eternity, my rats are finally out of their initial welcome-home quarantines, have been introduced and settled, and got to play today!
The two girls came together. The albino, named Luna, had aggression issues due to lack of handling in their old home; she was also barbering herself to baldness, my guess is mostly out of boredom (after mites and lice had been ruled out), but almost has a full coat of fur again! :] While she is still less cuddly than her sister, she has accepted being handled and petted, and no longer has problems biting. :3
Umbra is a little black hooded gal with the sweetest personality. She just loves people so much, despite previously not being handled often. She is at the bars every time I walk into the room, and is the first to run out and into my lap, bruxing her little head off. xD She apparently got into a scuffle yesterday, and was bitten on the back--or perhaps was power-groomed, but is healing quickly either way.
The most recent addition is the male, Wormhole. ((Yes, we seem to be sticking with a spacey theme. :3 )) He is a black veriberk dumbo with a cute lil head spot and a sweet personality. Him and Umbra hit it off great and were playing within minutes of being introduced, and he's even gotten Luna to warm up to him and play.
I had a few ping pong balls in there to play with. Worm loved them--the girls would rather be grooming. Boys will be boys, and girls will be girls.
Will post baby pics when I get them! Raising a few for my friends' ball python, so I'll get to keep them longer. :3
