It's A Rat!

This blog is dedicated to our wonderful girls Pendragon (~2 years), Yubaba (18 months) and Kiki (18 months) and our angel rattos Nessarose, Elphaba and Zineba. My main blog is at dykasaurus-rex.tumblr.com.

I’ll always reblog hero rats!

this same species is also trained to identify tuberculosis in samples by smell, meaning they can test for TB at a rapid rate with a high accuracy :)

The organization that trains the rats is APOPO

You can sponsor a rat and you will get adorable personalized emails telling you how well “your” rat is doing! I did this for my sister a few years ago and she’s still getting emails about Martok the HeroRat’s mine-clearing successes and called it the best gift ever.

I need advice!

Is anyone willing to chat back and forth and answer some questions for me? I am new to owning rats and I need someone who is active on Tumblr alot to chat with. Any takers?

I'm always happy to talk rats :) have 5 girls currently and have been keeping rats for about 2 years

just rat things #465

lil hands with razor claws

turning your food 7 different ways before you begin eating

burying your food, leaving your owner to think they haven’t fed you, so they refill your bowl

curling up and letting your tail drape across your face

flinging your bedding everywhere for nO REASON

staring at your owner while licking your lips/teeth

carrying things that are SO BIG by lifting your head and trotting

getting offended by kisses

climbing into pockets/sleeves/hoods

never staying still for pictures

climbing on top of cups to steal your owner’s beverages

responding to stupid nicknames but never your own name

preferring the boxes your toys came in rather than the toys themselves

grabbing anything close to your cage just because it’s there

using the bathroom everywhere but your litterbox

The rats are happy in the big cage in their new home 💕
