My new cage, waiting for its occupants

Do bear in mind that the vitamin and mineral content in dry food will diminish over time. They shouldn't need masses of food between them, you may wish to perhaps see if there's any other local rat owners willing to split the food between you so it doesn't sit around for too long and start losing its nutritional value.

I have been advised to supplement the food with some Dr Squiggles "Daily Essentials 1" in the water, which should give them extra vitamins and minerals, and to give them things like curly Kale and other fresh veg.

I second this and The Dapper Rat is great too.

Well here are Snow, Shadow and Pocket. They seem to have decided that the litter tray is their bed:

Absolute beauties!

Don't put the cage too close to any curtains by the way, rookie mistake I made with my last lot!

Shadow is currently investigating my cleavage - and I know about the curtains from when I first had a hamster. Mum was not amused...

What has it got in its pocketses?

Our girl Sky likes to do that. She uses my cleavage as her personal lookout ledge. Strange thing!

Sasha did that too. She's sneak in between my boobs (or under one, she wasn't fussy) and they you'd see this little black hooded head poke up and a tiny nose and tickly whiskers
