New Ratties!

Introducing Sophie and Sadie, the newests members of our family.

We have 2 new fancy rats in our household. Rats are very social, so we wanted to get a pair this time. When we had Scampers, he was the only one. We had intended to get two, but there was only one at the pet store when we got him. He seemed to do well being alone, but just knowing that they are such social creatures, we made sure to get two this time.

This one is Sophie. Her coloring is darker and the texture is soft like velvet.

And this is Sadie. Sadie's fur is lighter and coarser.

We introduced the ratties to the kitties. Sophie is the one checking out Scout.

Here is Sadie with Scout. The cats' visit was supervised closely. They seem interested in the ratties, but did not try to swat or attack them.

Here they are in their new home.

Scout is paying them a visit.

Hannah is so happy with her little ratties. She has shed many tears over the loss of Scampers.
