We ratties each have our likes and dislikes. For the most part my cage mates don’t like to be in small confined spaces while playing with our humans. I on the other hand love to curl up in my humans sleeve or in their sweatshirts. Really anywhere that is fluffy, soft and warm. But I …

We aren’t sure why, but our buddy, Batty, is the shyest of our Ratty Tales family. He’s sweet, smart and very good at playing hide and seek. Our humans have a lot of trouble finding him on his own long enough to get good pictures. They have to sneak up quietly in order to snap …

Tissue boxes are the best place to take a nap. All of us think so. It is one item we all fight over in our cage. When we get a new one the first thing we all do is chew around the opening. No matter how big it is or it’s shape we ratties have …

We rats are not the most considerate roommates according to our humans. On this day for example my buddy Skittles was curled up for a long nap… After stomping all over him I more or less fell over onto my back right next him. So what did I decide to do? That’s right! I stayed …

So of… This is the mess we made recently when our humans gave us half of an acorn squash. We ate every seed and left the shells EVERYWHERE as you can see. All of us were coated in the stringy goo that hold the seeds together in the middle of the squash. It took us …

My humans are often amazed by the positions that I sleep in. I don’t see any problem with my foot being flipped out like this. All of the joints in my leg are stretched out but I don’t mind staying this way for a nice long nap. Of course it certainly helps that I had …

Crawling on my humans is so much fun. I love racing up one arm to sit for a split second on a shoulder. This only lasts for a moment though before I am looking for something else to explore. On this day I jumped on my human’s head and realized how close my cage was. …

Our humans bring us all kinds of wonderful things to eat. Sometimes it’s a sweet piece of fruit. Or a nice bone with bits of meat still on it. On this day we got a half of an acorn squash with the seeds still in it! It was so good that we managed to scatter …

It’s a little strange to sleep next to myself honestly. Don’t know how else to put it though. This little friend my humans brought home looks just like me. He follows me all over our house and comes up to snuggle with me and lays down in the same position as me. At first I …

Our Ratty Tales cage sits right between a window and a sliding glass door which means when it’s nice outside our humans open them up for us. All five of us learned that special sound of the locks turning so when we hear it we peek out from wherever we are hiding. There are so …
