Source of the Stink

Bags of stinky fleece are coming from

our five newest family members:

 Golly, Benny, Bailey, Digby, and Gilly.

All are black hooded male rats; Digby is the largest and was

someone else's pet before he was put up for adoption,

Gilly and Golly are brothers, and so are Benny and Bailey.

 The four little guys had never been handled, and spent the first

day frozen, and the next few days grabbing food and hiding.

 This was as close as they wanted to get.

 Then big Digby joined the little guys and he has been calm and

sweet enough to settle everyone down.

 All of a sudden the boys were frolicking together in the open.

In three weeks, we have five growing and inquisitive boys.

 So it was time for a big-rattie cage.
Some assembly required...

 The "Skyscraper" rat cage from Martin's Cages.

Their service and cage design are exceptional.

 Digby fell over with excitement a few times when he found

his new luxury suite.

 In the past few days the boys have been climbing, ripping,

gnawing, wee-ing, exploring, and loving their new home.

Luckily these cuties live at school, they would be way too

tempting for three Bengal boys.
