Pretty self explanatory. Post animals, post pets, post stuff about animals and pets!

I love rats. I really do. Ask me anything pet-rat related.

I've currently got three of them, they are named Kiara (which is the one on my profile pic), Skye and Afum. They have diametrally different characters and behaviours at large, making quite a special team of three rodents. I did, in fact, teach them a few tricks like spinning, fetching and coming over when called by name, although I had no time to dedicate to make them do tricks. I've got a friend though, and he's currently training a rat to open wallets and take money from the inside, which is frankly hilarious if you ask me.

Also the wallet thing is amazing ๐Ÿ˜‚
