I have 6 girls who are, Cookie, Itsy, Alice, Valentine, Eddna, and Skye and they share their cage with one very lucky boy who is Bitsy. The girls are sooooo norty and are currently wrecking their cage, poor Bitsy doesnt have a hope of keeping the place neat
So anyway here they are and a little bit about them.
Cookie, is a former pet shop rat, she was in the adoption section and there was a note saying that HE needed to be rehomed seperately , HIS name was roland but the staff had christened HIM hannabal the cannabal because HE bit everyone HE came in contact with. I adopted him on behalf of someone I met on another forum and was on my way to take him to her when I saw his nipples, soooooo rechristened Cookie she came to stay with my girls. She has had a mammory tumour but we had it removed and shes doing really well.
Itsy and Bitsy were tiny when I took them on, I was new to owning rats and didnt realise they were far too young to leave their mum, I had to give them kitten milk and egg food to build them up but with the help of the adult rats they are lovely, well balanced rats now. Itsy has a lump which Im going to ask the vet to remove next week so fingers crossed for her.

Bitsy
Alice (my only rex rat) was advertised free to a good home, she had always lived alone and was a very nervous rat, I was warned that she would never make the type of rat you can hold, utter rubbish, she came on leaps and bounds once she met her new sisters and is now a proper cuddle bug.
Valentine was my one and only bought pet shop rat, she was in a tank on her own and some nice people were banging on the glass whilst saying uuurrrggghhh its disgusting, she had nowhere to hide and she was terrified. I walked away.... I even went home.... I lasted a full half hour before I went back and got her Shes my most timid rat but she likes people, any loud noises will have her running for cover though.
Eddna and Skye
I got Eddna and Skye and their brothers on behalf of someone else from a local breeder, the idea was that she would collect them from me a few days later, well days turned into weeks and I was hearing more and more worrying things about her so I told her she wasnt having the rats and here they stayed. They are totally nuts and just play constantly, Eddna cant go to sleep without her goodnight kiss... or it that me
