Rats! As pets?

In April of 2005 the first ratty came into our home. Technically she belonged to my daughter, but honestly, Rosie Pie stole all of our hearts and forever changed our family. These furry friends have added a lot of color and excitement to our lives. Their silly antics and highly individual personalities have kept us …

Every week the five of us get to play together in the bathroom with one of our humans for an hour. While we run around and explore boxes and toys brought out for us to enjoy, another human cleans our cage. We always make sure to cover every inch of possible ground and climb everything …

He’s mine. Our humans have this annoying habit of picking up our igloo and disturbing naps. None of us puts up much of a fuss about this. Because it usually means a nice snuggle with a human, a yummy treat or a chance to play on the floor being upset about the house disappearing seems …

Evenings are the best here at Ratty Tales. Each of us gets to spend a few minutes with our humans. Playing on the floor with my buddies is always fun, a quiet cuddle with my human is even better. Sometimes I think that I must be the favorite Ratty because I am the only one …

With our sharp teeth we rats are able to turn just about anything into a suitable bed. A few nips here, a chomp there and we have a comfy napping spot. On this day I found a big piece of fleece which I dragged to one of our igloos. As you can see it was …

This was a first for us. Three of us jamming into our hanging cloth house. Things got pretty tight in there after a few minutes. Of course we love to snuggle for warmth and friendship, but we also like enough space to sprawl out just a bit. We aborted this experiment rather quickly and have …

My human has really warm fuzzy pajamas. On this chilly morning I got burrow between a warm blanket and fluffy bunny pj’s. This doesn’t happen very often but it sure is nice when my human has the time in the morning for this. In the evening when they want to snuggle I want to run …

I am like the Energizer Bunny of ratdom. I have two modes dead asleep and bouncing off whatever I can find. Below is a video of me after throwing myself into a trash can. If my humans would have let me I would have dug all the way to the bottom just to see what …

Snuggling with my human and a nice warm blanket. Our house gets a little cold in the winter months so it’s especially comforting to curl up right next to the human’s head. Arms are wrapped securely around my whole body and I can simply lean into them and fall fast asleep. After I brux for …

Dobby – Mission Not Possible

December 5, 2017

Because we aren’t very good about our bathroom habits we are not allowed to play on the carpet. On this day I got passed the human guard and made it to the living room. I was so quick and stealthy. Just not quite enough. I got caught on camera by one human a second before …

When it’s cold outside it sure is nice to have a house full of buddies to snuggle up with. We have our disagreements and spats, but we get over them quickly. On this day we had all just run around the cage beating each other up as only brothers can do and then piled up …
