group bonding has been successful!!!! they have the whole cage full of stuff and could go anywhere, but the 3 of them chose to cuddle up together in the corner

I don't have personal examples for all, but here are some of my own rats!

Just the most excellently looping gifs I’ve ever uploaded 

Did you know? it costs zero (0) cents to respect personal boundaries! On the other hand, it can cost the victim’s mental wellbeing to violate them. Thank you for your respect– it will be returned to you!

introducing the new rats!

this little guy is seb! or sebastian. he's a agouti berkshire dumbo. he seems to be the bravest of the group in regard to people and also the calmest.

this is frankie or franciscus. he's a black self dumbo. he's a bit more shy than his brother seb but he's getting there. he likes exploring and hiding food in a corner of their cage.

this is gus (guus in dutch) or augustus. black berkshire dumbo. i got him later than his brothers so i don't know him very well yet, but he seems like a friendly and curious little guy. his breeder couldn't find a home for him so he was given to me for free so he could live with other rats his age.

What are the names of your rats?

Ori (white headspot), Kili (black berkshire), and Thorin (white/gray variegated w/ red eyes)!

Ori and Kili are sisters :}

Wild rats grew on me cause they got cute cream colored bellies and some are very chunky. I wonder if there's a rat coat color for fancy rats that's cream colored too. Is it called berkshire? I think...

bugbo cast as rats

bugbo would be a hairless rat of course :-) nothing fancy. he stares at you like this

gerbo would be a dwarf rat with dumbo ears. colors don’t really matter but i think he should be an irish rat so he can have a little white spot on him

i think it would be funny if gradient joe remained completely unchanged in design and species, but for the sake of this post i am assigning him as black berkshire marten rat

hoppo is not even a fancy rat (domesticated species of brown rat), but a gambian pouched rat aka the ones used to find mines. but instead of disarming them, she just sets up more of them

bonus: thomas flyswatter is a mouse trap

Update on the update of the update of my rat living situation:

THE GIRLS ARE ALL BACK TOGETHER WITH NO VIOLENCE!

(More infos and pics below)

It took some time, but Winter and Summer calmed down, Autumn never changed lol, and Spring actually got a big confidence boost from the experience.

I'll of course keep an eye out (I always do of course) for any aggression, but it's been over 36h with no issues so far.

she/her

My gorgeous gorgeous girl is your favorite mid-sized black jewish bi ace protagonist in the entire world! Have you ever haunted YOUR best friend and tried to stop him from avenging your untimely death? No? Well, guess who has! She's got it all: Judaism, attraction to women AND appreciation of a good looking boy, a tummy and thighs, brown eyes and a tongue that just don't stop trashing the hell out of the only person in the world who can hear her speak! She's permanently seventeen but she would have wanted to be a teacher, were she still alive, in order to help kids so they don't feel as much of the same undying anger she carries around with her every single day! She's traumatized, she loves her family, she's... YAEL!!

Midsized, dark brown skin, typically braids down to mid-back or so, dark brown eyes, big red glasses. She wears a star of david around her neck and also has some awesome fashion sense! She likes tighter tops w big baggy pants.

He/Him

He's a sentient rat trying to find the secret to immortality in a gothic sci-fi version of victorian london run by space bats that's underground hiding from the sun (who is sentient and will not let breaking the laws of physics and suchlike happen in the daylight) because he found out that rats only live two years and HES ONE AND A QUARTER.

He's like OH. HOLY SHIT. I DON'T WANT TO DIE. THAT'S NOT FAIR. because it's not to him, right? He's as sentient as any human or cat. And they get to live for decades. You know humans in the neath (underground) can live basically forever? Humans get to come back when they die down there. You know what doesn't? Rats. Rats have one life and they die and they only get two years but they are literally as sentient as everyone else. But also everyone treats them shittily because they're rats. Nobody takes him seriously as an academic. Nobody! they let tigers run a whole continent but they won't let a rat practice chemistry.

He has spent BASICALLY THE MAJORITY OF HIS LIFE studying and nobody even lets him check books out of the library because he's a ten inch tall rat. And everything is human sized and nobody respects him and you know he's just had enough which is why HE HAS ACCQUIRED A GUN. He WILL GET THE REQUIRED STUDYING MATERIALS FOR ACHIEVING IMMORTALITY (which is possible here) WHETHER HE GETS THEM NICELY OR HE HAS TO SHOOT PEOPLE. he's fucking fed up of not being listened to.

He is 11"" tall. He is cornish. He is a rat. He is afraid of his own mortality. He is furious about the injustices done to him. He is doing illegal science unto himself in order to get time, just a little more time, to enjoy his life. To find something worth living for. To be able to say at the end of it all ""yes, i lived a good life, i saw more of the world than my room and i experienced its wonders enough to fill my heart"".

He has a gun and he will use it.

What else could you ask from a character? Do YOUR blorbos have guns to defend their rights to academia and The Forbidden Sciences Beyond The Colour Of Time? No? Then vote for Treg. A vote for Treg is a vote for ALL ratkind.

Treg is a small, fawn blaze berkshire rat with a bristle coat. Which in rat fancier speak means he's ginger on top and white underneath, with rough fur, sort of like a cream and white german shepard. He has a pink nose, ears, hands, feet and tail, with red eyes and white whiskers. The fur on his face sort of looks like a little moustache and goatee, just a bit.

He wears a white knitted jumper made of wool, brown doll's trousers (it's sort of hard to find clothes fitted for rats) some shoes which are basically just doll's shoes that have been dipped in wax underneath so he has some semblance of soles for wearing on the hard cobblestones, and a tiny little pair of round spectacles that are held in place on his face with string and clips that hold onto the ears. His eyeglasses are stained in Violant, which is a very vibrant purple-scarlet colour from underground that forces you to remember things you otherwise might forget. He wears these because a lot of things in the neath can make you Forget knowledge you might want, and he is determined not to. He also has a woolen hat he wears sometimes if he's cold.

btw the rittens are doing well :3 they've free roamed on my bed a few times and they seem to like exploring. they're becoming braver everyday, now climbing out of their cage and onto my hands! frankie (black self) is a little more nervous than seb (agouti berkshire) but he's good at following his brother. they're very good little rats. i think i'm going to do intros next week!
