Oh Rats!

Sugar! Our biggest & oldest rat (by a month or so). She has a white belly that looks like she walked through sugar! 

The kids love spending time with our 4 pet rats whom we have had for about a year. They each have their own personality, are friendly and love attention. They also love food (especially treats) and being held! Kyrie is in charge of the care & keeping of her ratties and is a good 'mama,' though she sometimes has to be reminded about things like cleaning the cage. Most days, the kids take the rats out of the cage for some exercise and cuddles in the TV room. I took my camera in one day to try to get some pictures, which is very hard because the rats are very curious and rarely slow down. But here are a few pics we wanted to share!

Marshmallow, called Marshy, who always squeaks and likes to walk upside-down on the roof of the cage. She is #3.

Sugar always wants attention and loves to give kisses.

Cookie who can be a little shy, except when it comes to tackling her sisters to give them baths. She is #2

Lollipop, called Lolly, who is the youngest, shyest & most calm of  the rats. She is very sweet!

Marshy is considered Degen's rat, but Kyrie still provides all her care.

Look at this sweet, ratty-face!

More kisses from Sugar! These ratty-girls love Kyrie & treats!
