Sandy lays on her back for ultimate algae wafer enjoyment.

Please do not keep your rats alone. Please especially do not keep your female rats alone. I am seeing this so often on tumblr and it’s so, so concerning. Your rats are social, intelligent animals that thrive on companionship. Unless your rat has medical or behavioral issues that keep it from being comfortable or safe around other rats, there is no excuse for only having one rat. You cannot fill the void in your rat’s life, you cannot take the place of another rat, no matter how much time you spend with and invest in your rat. You cannot sleep cuddled up with your rat when it is in the cage, you cannot groom your rat, you cannot provide your rat with the security that being around its own kind provides. You are not a rat, so you cannot fill the role of another rat in your rat’s life. Please keep your rats in same-sex pairs at least!

It’s about dang time I see a good ratty PSA post- and too boot, I have studies to back this up!

Social Isolation from other rats increases anxiety and aggression

Rats who are socially isolated are more susceptible to drugs (Receptors in the brain literally reduce their functioning)

Socially isolated (SI) rats have higher levels of anxiety that literally hinders their ability to function properly under stress

SI rats have no desire to explore

Post-weaning social isolation of rats produces psychological and physiological changes that are relevant to schizophrenia

SI rats literally have no idea how to woo the ladies.

The Main’s frog [Ranoidea maini] is a species adapted to some of the harshest environments Australia has to offer. These frogs can remain burrowed in the desert for months at a time, wrapping themselves in a water-tight cocoon. They emerge following seasonal rains. Images by Brendan Costello.

Romeo colouring mostly consist of red, orange, black and white but my trusty macro lens managed to catch small blue drops on the base of his tail. Simply amazing.
