Any name ideas, or are you going to wait to see what they're like personality-wise first? Also, will you be getting males or females?

That's p cool. I remember reading a study that offered rats a choice between silence and music, and the experiment was tried with various kinds of music. In every case but one the rats would choose silence - the only exception being if they'd been given drugs and played jazz in the past, they'd come to associate jazz with good times so would choose that over silence (and this was only the case with jazz, not other musical styles). The study concluded that rats just don't enjoy human music. But I guess, like with many things, it's more complicated than that. e: Do you have your new boys yet? How are they doing?

Will watch it, maybe try to record it for later watching. Yeah, I managed to acquire it. Haven't watched it yet but I skimmed through it quickly and there's a lot of cute shots of allegedly wild rats (many of the are a little too well groomer and a little too fat to be wild.)

The documentary was alright. Very surface level information but lots of cute rat shots. Tons of non-dietetic rat sounds were driving me nuts though.

They went to the vet and they were sad and mad and scared about it. One needed some blue food coloring on her head so we could tell them apart, but it should've been obvious from the weight. She's a pound and a half. lmao

A while ago on a whim I bought a cat toy at the pet store. Here's a video of my girls encountering it for the first time. Spoiler: They were way more into it than I'd expected.

 Omar celebrating his third birthday (3rd plus a month or two) Not sure how much he's got left, as he's about 80% hind legged and starting to sundown pretty hard, but when he's here he's a happy motherfucker that loves him some pizza crust

I love Omar. Thank you for sharing his birthday with us. I assume he got the rest of the pizza too and he's just polishing it off.

He got crust + a little bit of the sauce and cheese, and he also got a chunk of a payday (carmel and peanuts) We've started wetting his food, so he's put on a little weight in the 3 days since that picture, but he is still a shrinking old man tots adorbs. We grabbed some baby rattos today as well, they're in quarintine currently Here's Laszlo:

The best part is knowing that rat almost certainly has several hammocks/sputniks or other hidey-holes to sleep in

Omar has suffled along. Should I meet God upon my own dying, I will hold him to account for permitting Dick Cheney to stride this earth yet take Omar from us. May he ride eternal in rathalla

3 is a good age for a rat, and it seems as though Omar had no shortage of delightful delicacies.
