happy 20 year anniversary of Neil banging out the tunes!

though every rat is special, it's a wonderful and unusual thing for their accomplishments to be remembered and cherished by so many people so many years later. we're all so fortunate to know about the rat who banged out the tunes!

thank you to all the people who sent me reference photos of their beloved rats for this piece!!! credits under the cut!

one of my rats ate my mouse last week

(they live in separate cages, i would never pair them and i'm aware of rats being predators)

it was a terrifying view. please always check how good your cage is locked

valhalla didn't let anyone touch her daughter

and a volunteer sent them to us on the train, the trip took more than 24h
